Learn Basic Post-Processing

Post-processing is what you do to a picture after you’ve taken it and you’ll be surprised just how much of a difference a bit of post-processing will make to your pictures. There are loads of free editing software such as Pixlr, Gimp, phone apps and much more. These will do a great job in the simple adjustments like cropping and adding filters. But if you want your pictures to look professional and stand up against the best out, you can edit your photos using software such as Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. Lightroom gives you everything you need to edit, organize and store your photos and photoshop will add the magic. Don’t forget here at The School of Photography we teach Lightroom, Photoshop and much more in our membership option.
