How Do I Improve This Image?
Hazel Meredith

Whether you are new to Photoshop and editing, or a seasoned pro, I’ll show you some simple adjustments that will make your images “sing”! Easy adjustments for contrast, shadows, highlights, clarity, cropping and more, will improve your images. As an active camera club judge, I often comment on simple fixes that will improve an image’s score. I will demonstrate in Photoshop, but the same techniques apply in almost any editing program.
