Hi, I will do some edit to my photos. I need to make the colors and contrast look nice. Normally, I use Microsoft Office Picture Manager to edit my photos. What software do you use?Do you edit the photos you take?

I'm a photography hobbyist and before I was so against using photo editors, as I somehow view it as cheating. What changed my mind was when I was introduced to Adobe Photoshop, the de facto tool for post processing by most if not all Pro Photographers. I mean if pros do it, what's a semi-amateur like me grumbling about photo editors? Nowadays I just can't live without my Photoshop, and I do recommned you use it for photo editing, it's absolutely amazing.

Sometimes I do. I enjoy making the pictures black and white sometimes and if there needs to be something cropped out I'll do that too. Sometimes I'll have to fix the redeye and sometimes I just play around with them. I use Adobe and sometimes the software that come with my printer.I think it's hp photo manager.

I edit most of my photos after taking them. I use Photoshop because there are many possibilities with it. If they photos look fine as taken I just leave them alone. But most photos can use some form of editing.

I only edit photos to make the picture brighter so I can see the details more clearly. I dont do it often though and there are those times that I need to edit a certain picture so that it would look right because its some sort of a project or something. The software I use is the one provided in the installation cd of the camera or cellphone and sometimes I use the very basic one which is Paint. Happy New Year!

Yes, I do edit my photos taken by a camera as there are always flaws in our photos. I use Adobe Photoshop-7 to edit my pictures and also for creating new images for my websites.

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 for any editing that I do. I'm hoping to get a grpahics tablet for Christmas to make it a little easier to get precise editing and effects done. It's hard having to use the mouse for fine lines!

Yeah, it is really hard to use mouse to draw line. I never use the Adobe Photoshop Elements 7 before.

Some digital pictures need editing. If the pictures I took look fine, then I won't edit them. I do edit pictures in the computer using Adobe Photoshop or Corel to enhance the look of the picture. Happy New Year!

Yes, sometimes, I edit it if I need put some effects on it or if it is too dark then I would simply give a light on it haha… but most of the time, I don’t really edit my pictures after transferring it to my computer. I like it just the way it is. In editing pictures, I sometimes use photoshop or corel draw or irfanview… Oh I remember, I always resize it though… that is part of editing right? Hehe… Happy Mylotting and Holidays! Cheers!

Hi there my friend. I use a program from Microsoft called Microsoft re sizer tool (or something like that) that can make them smaller with the same resolution or even change the resolution. Apart from that i may use acdsee (canvas more exact) to capture a specific part of the picture.

I edit some of my photos. I am interested in urban exploration, and I usually edit those photos. I want to create a dark atmosphere and a feeling of sadness in my photos, and I usually change the colours. Sometimes I use black and white, but sepia is my favourite. I love sepia, because it creates the atmosphere that I am looking for. I use PSP to edit my photos.

I use Photoshop Elements to sharpen my photos. I have also done some manipulating of the photos but never pass them off as a real shot. I have added a person to a family photo or changed the background but people know it. It is very exciting when you can pull something like that off to the point that people do not know what you did.

I don't usually edit pictures taken from my cell phone and I still don't have a digital camera. But I remember one good nice picture editor which I used in my previous job. The program was bundled with the scanner that we've purchased and it was from Ulead Inc. It was really a good photo managing program...
