In my business, I work with a lot of digital photographs and images (some of them are mine, others are not). Of course, being a photographer I get a lot of questions regarding how to “fix” those digital photographs. My funny response is the best fix is to take a photograph that doesn’t need any fixing. But, even professionals like myself can’t help taking a photo that needs a tweak or two. So how do you do it?
Adobe Photoshop is absolutely the best software package out there to use to fix a photograph. It can do just about anything from retouching a skin blemish to changing a background. However, Photoshop is very expensive and can be quite intimidating for the non-professional. So what can I do, you ask?
Easy! Adobe recognizes that Photoshop is not for everyone so they have released a program called Adobe Photoshop Elements. Think of it like Photoshop’s little brother without the big expensive pricetag and without the intimidating interface and learning curve. You will be able to find about 90% of the “fixes” found in its big brother and it even contains tutorials and “recipes” for fixes and enhancements.

Another website up and going: http://www.chrismckennaphoto.com
A few months back, I posted that we were moving our posts about our photography from this blog to another. However, that doesn't preclude me from posting any information relevant to my business here, does it? I don't think so.
So I am posting here that I have yet another photo website up and going. You can find it at:
http://www.chrismckennaphoto.com/.
Right now, although the look is different the content is almost a mirror image to http://www.chrismckennaphotography.com/. The goal with this site it to continue with my efforts to manage a website that google can actually find (I’m having all sorts of problems with the flash-driven, third-party site I currently use), to use as a proofing site for my clients, but eventually to serve as the site in which I can sell some of my work online.
Take a look and let me know what you think.
Enjoy the slideshows and new site.
Blessings,
Chris
