THIS WEEK'S TIP
Beware of the Photoshop Trap
By Peter K. Burian, BetterPhoto instructor
Using image enhancing software, we can fix some technical problems. That's certainly useful for making a good image even better, but it's not an alternative to "making" a photograph, in-camera. Certain problems can be difficult to correct without degrading image quality, especially in pictures taken with a JPEG capture mode. And no software program on the market can turn a quick snapshot into an award winning photograph.

Welcome to the 638th issue of SnapShot!
Hello,

Big news this week! Jim Miotke, BetterPhoto's founder, already has a popular line of self-paced courses, but now he has developed an interactive online class. Yes, interactive! This newest offering features Jim's personable, professional AND invaluable feedback. Check it out: Creative Photography Techniques with Jim Miotke. You need to act fast, however, since there is a limited number of seats available. Enroll today!

In this edition of SnapShot, don't miss the pro advice by BetterPhoto instructors: Jim Zuckerman's article ('Travel Photography: Portraits from the Back'), This Week's Tip by Peter K. Burian ('Beware of the Photoshop Trap'), and an article ('Light and Color: White Balance Made Easy') adapted from The BetterPhoto Guide to Photographing Light.

That's it for this week. Have fun with your photography!

Articles by BetterPhoto Instructors:

Sometimes photographing a person from behind makes a unique and compelling story, says instructor Jim Zuckerman in his new BetterPhoto article. Digital cameras offer a ton of White Balance presets and custom settings, so it's no wonder many photographers simply set WB on automatic and forget about fine-tuning. But that's rarely the best approach! Read this article adapted from Jim Miotke and Kerry Drager's book, The BetterPhoto Guide to Photographing Light.
