Post-processing is an important skill to have as a photographer if you really want to get the best out of your photos. Minor adjustments can give a big lift to your otherwise dull photographs but if not done correctly, it can ruin a shot too. Knowing how a post-processing tool can be used effectively is critical.
While there are many photo-editing software out there, the basic idea behind any post-processing step remains the same across all of them. That said, Lightroom and Photoshop by Adobe are two of the most popular ones right now.
To help you improve your post-processing, we have put together a list of five free guides related to the subject, including a few from Photzy. Do check them out!
Some photos work better in black and white than others. Choosing whether a photograph should be in color or black and white can be a tricky situation for many. This guide will help you decide when color is important in a photograph and when a B&W conversion might be a good idea.
