There was a time in photography that the image you took was the image you got. Altering your image was an art known by few and available to fewer than that. With the technology available through digital imaging and Adobe Photoshop, this is no longer the case. Photoshop allows digital images to be edited to unheard of levels of manipulative wizardry. With some training, a user can go beyond just retouching a photo and practically reinvent the image. Here is an overview of just some of the things Photoshop can do even in the hands of the beginner.
Blemishes no longer have to be an embarrassment in a photo. With Photoshop's retouching tools, you can erase the most severe acne with a few simple keystrokes.
Damaged photos? Are they ripped or torn? Even worse, are they a family heirloom that could never be replaced? Don't worry, Photoshop can take a scanned photo and retouch tears, scars, water damage and more to make the photograph like new again. It can even revitalize colors that might have faded over the years.
Everyone has experienced blinking at the wrong moment. Closed eyes are not a problem any longer. With Photoshop, everyone's eyes can be bright and shining tin every photo you take.
Let's say you best picture of yourself just happens to include a former flame that's no longer so hot. Great news!
