So....you think you got your shot 100%? Well, you thought wrong. No matter how good you are, not matter what your camera can do, and no matter how many red rings your lens has, photos CAN ALWAYS BE IMPROVED. In this thread, you will find a wealth of tips, tricks and techniques that will help you edit and/or save your junkers in photoshop.

Some Rules

This is not a debate thread. It is an information thread. If you disagree with something, great, move along. If you have your own tip, trick, technique, or a link to a good one, by all means, post it up. Please label all links as to what topic they pertain to, and not just a URL... So....have links like so....

Converting an NFRs2000NYC Photo to a Poindexter Photo. and have THAT linked.

DO NOT do this.... www.nfrs2000nycsucks.com

This way, the information is easy to find, and easily tracked. ALL MISPOSTED LINKS WILL BE DELETED!

Now, newbies, dont be discouraged from posting here. There are plenty of sites out there with great tutorials. If you find one, by all means, post it up. (Please try not to post duplicates of the same thing, we dont need 1599 ways to B&W a photo)

Also, if you post a good tutorial here, I will take the link from your reply, and add it to the top of the page with the rest of the links. After which, your post will be deleted. Dont worry, you will get credit for the tutorial.

Next...PLEASE USE YOUR HEAD. Only post good tutorials that can HELP members. This is an example of a piece of crap tutorial that should NOT be posted here....

Last and very important rule.

DO NOT REQUEST ANYTHING IN THIS THREAD!

Post it up in the regular forum, we will link you to it, and then add to this thread as well. I will edit this thread as we go along, along with my fellow choppers to make it as useful, and easy to use as possible. Some tutorials will be basic, some will be very complex. All of them will help you improve your images, and teach you the finer points of photoshop.

PLEASE REPORT ALL DEAD LINKS!
