Digital Photos Sans Digital Cameras
 by: Florie Lyn Masarate

As you may already be aware, printing is turning digital. Not to be outdone, photography went digital also. It is easy to understand why. With digital cameras, they become the expert that they want to become in taking photos, with the help of the digital scanning and Photoshop, of course. They can now experiment with their photos, enhancing them; taking off unwanted factors, imperfect details and adding different setting into them. The possibility of what you can achieve with digital photography is endless. It will depend on how imaginative and creative you are. Not to forget, the tools that you will use.

For those who do not have these advancements yet, do not think that you are so outclassed by the others and still living in another century. There are ways to make your digital photos better even if they are not taken from a digital camera. You can have your photo scanned and make your magic there.

You can light up dark photos while scanning. If you think that your photo is too dark and you are not to happy about it, try lightening them up. Adjusting the settings should do the trick. You can brighten them until you are contented. Try not to destroy the image by brightening it. Consider the condition of the photo and do not overdo your lights.

Adding more colors will make them lively and realistic. Some cameras do not offer the color quality you want in your photos. Adding them through scanning is an option you may want to consider to add more colors to your colored pictures. There are tools and software that give choices of more colors and color styles to choose from. You just have to find the perfect ones for your photos.

You can also remove unwanted backgrounds in your photos. Have you ever seen photos that could have looked great if not for something in the background that tints the perfection? You may have blamed yourself for not having been aware of that fact and want to turn back time and repeat your shot. Or may want to try taking that same picture again without the background. This is a waste of time and resources. You can just remove them and add some good backgrounds to fit your picture. The process may be delicate but with dedication, you can do this.

People can now put their pictures on emails and websites to share with others. Solves the problem of letting your faraway friends see your photo, without having to mail it to them in letters. If you think of mailing as the alternative, you would be more than happy to pay for the scanning and have them saved in your files instead.
