Image-Editing
This section covers photo editing and editing of other graphics. Photo editing normally refers to "removing red eye" from photographs, resizing pictures, lightening and darkening and so on.
Cropping an image
Digital editors are used to crop images. Cropping creates a new image by selecting a desired rectangular portion from the image being cropped. The unwanted part of the image is discarded. Image cropping does not reduce the resolution of the area cropped. Best results are obtained when the original image has a high resolution. A primary reason for cropping is to improve the image composition in the new image.
Removal of unwanted elements
Most image editors can be used to remove unwanted branches, etc, using a "clone" tool. Removing these distracting elements draws focus to the subject, improving overall composition.

Editing Programs
Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Corel Photo-Paint and Paint Shop Pro are popular digital editors (also called Photo Editors) and they are all somewhat to very expensive. Paint.net is pretty good at Image-Editing too, and it is free!
I have used several of these, and have not gotten very good with them, but I can edit photographs fairly well, such as re-sizing, cropping, lighten, darken, change contrast, etc. They can also do some interesting text stuff too! |
