Ok I have always used my pictures straight out of my camera. I
have never altered them using anything except for an occasional
white balance correction. I have seen some great telephoto shots
here that look wonderful. Are they cropped in photoshop? If so how
do you crop without loosing image quality? When I crop my pics seem
grainy. I can't seem to get those great close-ups. Would love to
know how it is done.
Hi Teresa: I do a lot of editing and cropping (always keep the
original, though).
Many times it's a matter of just "nipping" that little piece of
telephone cable on the upper right corner of that beautiful sky,
etc....I generally constrain while I crop so as not to lose the
format, lest I need to show series of pictures.
When you crop, you always lose resolution. But you can experiment
with the different options in the "sharpen" submenu under the
"filter" menu in Photoshop. Sometimes it does wonders.
