Photo Editing

[Badmao1]

Over recent years i have been editing photos as a hobby, and am now at a good level. I was wondering if there is a way of making money from editting photos. Any ideas welcome.

well, up until a few weeks ago i worked for je***ps (large photo retailer!). some of the photo restoration work we did was superb and very difficult, but we charged anything up to �60 for the file on a cd and a 9x6" print.

some however was VERY easy. that work went under the minimum charge of (i think) �20 and could be done in a matter of a cup of tea minutes.

maybe you could set up an ebay shop. recieve scanned images by email then send back a very low res or watermarked version until they pay up!

i wouldnt say that je***ps did hugh amounts but if its for pocket money it may work.

i can do this by the way... and did do some of the easy ones in store (quite literally in a tea break)

How about creating photos of people with a range of well known stars, you would need to have a selection of pictures of famous people to which you can add the image sent by the client,

It could all be done by E-mail so you could advertise on an 'internet auction' site, they have easy ways of setting up accounts so you can collect all the money that will come rolling in.

Don't know about the copyright issues but if you are creating an original image it may not be a problem

Good luck

Certainly, photo editing involves the process of enhancing or modifying images to achieve a desired look, correct imperfections, and convey a specific message or mood. Here's an overview of the steps and techniques commonly used in photo editing:

Import and Organize: Import your photos into a photo editing software or application. Organize your images into folders or albums for easier access.

Basic Adjustments:

Crop and Straighten: Remove unwanted parts of the image and straighten any crooked horizons.
Exposure: Adjust brightness, contrast, highlights, shadows, and overall exposure to balance the image's tones.
Color Correction: Fine-tune the color balance to ensure accurate colors.
Retouching and Cleanup:

Spot Removal: Remove blemishes, spots, or distractions using tools like the healing brush or clone stamp.
Skin Retouching: Smooth out skin tones, remove imperfections, and enhance portraits while maintaining a natural look.
Object Removal: Delete unwanted objects or elements from the image.
Color Grading:

Saturation and Vibrance: Adjust the intensity of colors to make them more or less vibrant.
Color Curves: Use curves to fine-tune color balance and contrast in specific tonal ranges.
Split Toning: Add a color tint to highlights and shadows for creative effects.
Creative Effects:

Filters: Apply artistic or stylized filters to create unique looks.
Vignetting: Darken or lighten the edges of the image to draw attention to the center.
Textures and Overlays: Add textures, patterns, or overlays to enhance the mood of the photo.
Sharpening and Detail Enhancement:

Sharpening: Enhance image details by applying sharpening techniques.
Noise Reduction: Reduce digital noise (graininess) caused by low light conditions or high ISO settings.
