Some photo editing
Not much to comment on recently, but today I was shown some excellent tips for editing images, particularly those taken at night or with a washed out feeling. With all of the photos I felt disappointed with what I came away with, especially as some of them really are once in a life time chances to get a decent photo.
I need some more practice with the tools and settings, but I’m impressed with the difference.

Some final tweaks in Picasa to bring out some colour
There’s a lot of photos from the night that can’t be saved, and the improvement on this set isn’t as obvious as some others I’ve tried. The tools are Neat Image and Picasa.

Picasa is a really impressive tool. I have photos scattered everywhere from camera phones, my camera, photos I’ve been given and can never find them quickly. I’d recommend it to anyone who has a lot of photos stored locally, and it’s also made me think about saving all my photos to the external drive before touching them with any tool.
I’ve also never done anything with my photos after they’ve been taken. This has made me think more about what can be done to improve photos.
