Use Photoshop CS3 to Turn Ordinary Images into Salable Ones!

Before - No changesBefore - No changes© Jim ZuckermanAll Rights ReservedThe bar has been raised so high in terms of excellent photography that to compete with other photographers you have to bring to the table every skill you have. In addition to outstanding composition, finding compelling subjects, and sensitivity to light and color, Photoshop expertise is a must. When pictures don’t turn out perfectly as you pre-conceive them, CS3 can make them perfect – and salable.I was recently in the Dominican Republic shooting beach scenes for a client. I know this client likes brilliant color, so I was always on the lookout for anything that could add more color to the sand and the water. I came upon this boat that was partially submerged in the sand, and I knew the subject matter worked. However, as you can see in the "Before" image, the background is a mess, the foreground sand has too much organic debris, and the name on the boat had to be eliminated. Usually end users don’t want identifiable names and logos in their pictures for fear of lawsuits.
