Bad Pics Fixed Quick : How to Fix Lousy Digital Pictures is a book with enough brass to come right out and say it. Most digital pictures are lousy because people just don't take the time to get acquainted with the equipment.
Just because you have a nifty new digital camera doesn't mean that all your pictures will turn out perfect. It's all too easy to snap a photo that is too bright, too dark, off-center, tilted, or too far away from the subject. And your subjects won't always be perfect, either; the people you photograph will have bad hair days, facial blemishes, yellow teeth, and bad skin. No matter how good your camera is, you always end up taking your share of bad pictures.
Millions of Americans own digital cameras. Millions of Americans also struggle with producing great quality photos from their digital cameras. With a "try this, then this" approach, Bad Pics Fixed Quick: How to Fix Lousy Digital Pictures is a clear, easy-to-follow instructional guide on how to turn your digital camera nightmares into nearly-flawless pictures that you're not afraid to print.
The book's primary focus is on using Adobe Photoshop Elements software, but it does give you advice and tips that are applicable to any image editing software. You made a big investment when you purchased your digital camera. Make it a worthwhile one by learning how to get the most out of it with Bad Pics Fixed Quick!
