Begining computer

[armen_hovannisian]

<p>Hi,<br>

As a beginner I already know how to capture the image. And know I want to work with my pictures on the computer. What do I need to know to work on the computer (ex. what picture size is good for what , what do the piture size numbers represent etc.)</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>Armen, you can find links to many online illustrated tutorials <a href="00RljT"><strong>in this thread</strong> </a> . There you'll see links to tutorials for basic photo editing techniques, composition, lighting and just about anything you can think of.</p>

<p>Also, click on the tab labeled <a href="../learn/">"Learning"</a> near the upper right corner of most photo.net pages and you'll see a link to <a href="../learn/digital-post-processing/">digital post-processing tutorials</a> .</p>

basically, IMHO, you would need to learn more about basic photography edition... but not referring to the digital side... I am referring to the basics of photography edition that at the end applies to either, digital or negative based photography. The computer is just a TOOL to aim certain quality-mood-feelings for your image... Then, you will be able to learn the computerized tools to achieve what you want.<br>

Photoshop or Aperture or any of the other amazing tools might be a simple bunch of undigestible instructions if the ideas of the basics of a GOOD print are not clear...<br>

<p>if you have a digital camera, the software that comes with the camera will l;et you do some editing and changing.<br>

read the accompaning informatio. it is often on the cd, better if it is in the manual.<br>

this will not do everything but will serve as a start.<br>

Photo shop and other hig end programs ( I am told ) have a steep learning curve. and may cause you to get disouiraged.<br>

also printing at home will let you try various things, but the cost of ink and paper can be costly. It is often less expensive to put things on a cd or a spare picture card, and go to a store with a machine to print at less than 25 cents per photo.<br>

best to have extra picture cards as they can sometimes be purchased inexpensivly.<br>

My wife recently got some pictures of her grandkids ( in Wyoming) Uploaded to the walmart site from their home and sent to the local store. each photo cost 15 cents.</p>
