In this post, I am going to share some really effective tips which will ensure safekeeping of your valuable artifacts for years. All these photo preservation tips work great in protecting both digital and printing images. Here we go:

You must always make sure that all your photographs have been stored in a suitable place. Your storage place must be dark, cool and dry with an average temperature of around 65 degree Fahrenheit. You should also consider humidity of that place which must be between 30%-40%. Never think about storing your favourite photographs in the basements and attics where environment isn’t usually temperature controlled. Frequent changes in environment of storage place causes the emulsion of photos to buckle and crack and the colours too fade or shift. In addition, you must also keep your photographs from getting exposure to direct sunlight.

We most often use tape to fix torn photographs, which I think one of the major reasons of damaging photos. In my opinion, leaving the tear unmended is better than using tape to fix torn. It would be really great to keep the damaged photographs in a polyethylene envelop to prevent further damage.

Besides, some people have the tendency of writing the detail of photograph on its back. Yeah, it’s really great in identifying and memorizing the persons of a photo as well as its date and location, but this kind of practice often damage photographs. If anyone still wants to write on the photos back, my suggestion is to use a number 2 pencil instead of ink pen and must write only in the margin. Besides, one should always be careful about not pushing the pencil too hard while writing in the back side.

We usually use various types of photo albums to keep photos in it. But problem is that we always choose albums based on their cuteness, not by their appropriateness and that is why photographs often get damaged even after keeping in photo albums. That’s the reason why choosing a suitable photo album is really essential for protecting photographs for years. One must avoid those photo albums which require adhesives to keep photos in place. Better is to use photo albums which hold photographs on a polyethylene page as they will protect the photos for years to come.

In fact, all the professional photo editing and graphic designing service providers use these kinds of photo editing tools for serving their clients in these days. Because these can provide some really cool benefits which are beyond imagination if you do the editing manually. Here are some benefits:

Automatic Image Enhancement: Almost all photo editing tools come with automatic image enhancement feature which can be used to fix the imperfections in the photos being manipulated. This is quickest possible way to make corrective changes in photographs.

Data Compression: Data compression is a really crucial concerning factor while designing websites because it greatly reduce the site loading time on browsers. Photo editing tools greatly work in compressing images and hence can take up less space for storage.

Image Selection Option: This is another great feature that comes with modern photo editing software with which one can select specific parts of an image for editing. Some of the most common tools used for this purpose include magic wand tool, lasso tool, marquee tool, edge detection and masking.

Use of Layer: The layer feature of Adobe Photoshop let users divide a picture into several layers making it easier to apply modifications at different levels of that image without affecting the whole photograph.

Resizing Images: Image editing programs are greatly used for resizing or scaling images quickly. Especially while designing websites, a designer often requires images with particular composition. In such case, he can easily get his desired sized images using these digital photo editing programs.

Cropping Images: Image cropping is the technique of removing any unwanted parts of an image easily. This feature of photo editing programs doesn’t deal with the resolution of photograph, but remove the unwanted parts from that photo.

These are only a brief list of enormous benefits that one can easily obtain from modern photo editing programs. In fact, all the professional image editing service providers use at least one and even multiple photo editing programs for fulfilling different purposes while editing photographs.

The importance of image editing works is really tough to explain in a few words. In this era of advanced web technologies and internet, all kinds of businesses whether it is big or small promote their products/services to get more sales. Among these businesses, most are using internet marketing as their main marketing method and hence run websites to demonstrate their products to the people via web. But unfortunately everyone isn’t becoming equally successful due to some key reasons.

One of the main reasons for such failure is that most of these online businesses often overlook the importance of using attractive and glossy photos on their websites. In fact, this can greatly help convert ordinary visitors into real buyers! Because when a potential buyer sees dark or unprofessional product photos on a commercial website, he/she usually leave the website at once! If these companies hire professional image editing companies to make their product photos into attractive one, they will surely have more sales than they are getting now.

Luckily there are lots of image editing service provider companies who are offering all kinds of photo editing services at competitive prices.

But unfortunately all of these real estate companies aren’t getting satisfactory amount of sales via their websites. One of the main reasons for such failure is that these companies aren’t retouching their property photographs before publishing them on websites.

In fact, property pictures need to be clear and crisp and should clearly define the exact structure of the property to the potential customers.

Always keep your digital and printed images in a suitable environment. That storage place needs to be dry, cool, dark and must have an average temperature of around 65 degree Fahrenheit. You also have to ensure that the humidity of your storing place is between 30 to 40 percent. Besides, you should never keep your photos in basements or attics or similar other places as these places aren’t often temperature controlled. If you are careless about keeping your photos in a controlled environment, the change of storage environment can cause the emulsion of your memorable photos to buckle and crack and the colors may become too fade.

People often use tape to fix torn photos. Here my suggestion is never use tape to fix such torn photos. Leaving the tear unmended is way better solution than using tape. Alternatively, you can keep your torn photos in a clean and clear polyethylene envelop to prevent further damage of photo quality.

Most people have a common tendency of writing details on the back side of photos. Although it’s really great way to memorize family members as well as date and location of photos taken, but it often damages the photo quality. If you still want to write on the backs of your photographs, my recommendation is to write only using a no. 2 mechanical pencil instead of ink pen. While writing, don’t push your pencil too hard and always write only in the margin.

We usually use albums to keep and organize our photographs and often we choose such albums based on cuteness. But you may not know that these photo albums play a really vital role in preserving your photos perfectly. That’s why you should go through some other considerations while choosing albums for your photos. Always avoid album which requires adhesives to keep photos in it. You should choose albums that hold images on a polythene page and thus can keep photographs for years. Otherwise, you can keep your photos in acid-free paper boxes which usually come with acid-free paper dividers.

And finally when it’s time to clean your photographs, it’s better to hire a professional cleaning service provider instead of doing it yourself, as different photographs may need different techniques of cleaning.  Hope these tips will greatly help you preserve your digital and printed photographs perfectly.

A fresher can start learning photo editing simply from his family photos or photos that he clicked earlier. The same word is applicable not only for fresher, but for the owner of any commercial or e-commerce website which requires attractive photos to convert visitors into buyers.

Cropping:
Photo editing starts with learning how to crop a specific portion from an image. You have to learn not just cropping image from a big frame, but making the composition looks professional and attractive. If you need to focus on simply on a specific object of a big frame, you will have to learn how to crop and drag a specific object from that big frame in a professional manner.

Levels:
The second step to learning photo editing is to learn how to adjust contrast and light to give photos a clear view. Here a fresher need to learn how to use the level tool and all other colour correction tools in Photoshop. Since different tools have different features, so one needs to be well-acquainted with all of these tools to be an expert.

Layers:

“Image Cropping” refers to the erasing of the external parts of an image to upgrade framing, adjust aspect ratio and accentuate subject material. In image cropping process, portions of images are trimmed away from the edges to strengthen the composition and create focus. Depending on the implementation, image cropping can be performed on film footage, artwork or physical photographs, or done digitally with image editing software like Photoshop. This term is so common in printing, graphic design, broadcasting and film industries.

Image resizing

In graphics design, “image resizing” is the non-trivial process of digital image scaling. It basically refers to the change of image dimensions– length, width and other scale of measurement (in inches) – of a photo.  Image resizing involves fitting smaller display range and deals with smoothness, sharpness and efficiency of an image. Image size is particularly readjusted (or decreased or down sampled or sub sampled) to produce “thumbnails” (reduced version of picture). But an image is enlarged (up-sampled or interpolated) to fit smaller imagery to bigger screens in full screen mode.

Understanding Image Cropping and Resizing in Photoshop

Cropping and resizing images with the help of Photoshop Elements are very common and easy tasks. But image cropping and resizing in Photoshop may sometimes bring much confusion to you. When it comes to cases like, the image size, should you resize or crop or change the resolution? What?

Let’s short out them in an easier way!

When to crop:

• Image cropping is needed when you recompose an image (crop out and short out some elements to get rid of distracting elements or to replace the focal point or zoom in the subject).
• When you have to fit a certain picture in a fixed sized paper like – 8 x 10 or 5 x 7 and so on.

 When to Resize:

• Image resizing is needed when you need to make an image smaller for emailing or uploading to internet. It is the process that reduces picture “weight” by removing pixels. You might know that images require being less than 100 kilobytes to upload on Facebook. You can apply image resizing technique in these cases to achieve the goal.

Most photographers grapple with the distinction between image cropping and resizing in Photoshop though there is quite big difference between them.  Even it is not uncommon to apply both image cropping and resizing techniques on same image.
