November RedRemember when you did nothing after taking a picture. Before digital cameras, the film camera was all there was, and unless you had a dark room, you took your film to a developer who would process and crop your pictures. Now, most people never even edit their digital images. They fill up their SD card, compact flash, and smartphone and then dump all the photos onto a computer, and hopefully, they backed up their pictures. Then clear up all the storage and begin the cycle again. Who has the time to edit, right? In the film days before digital, the average cost to develop a film roll was around $5. If you were to hire a digital photo editor today, the average price is currently about $50 to $150 an hour; so you probably will not hire an editor unless you are professional photography with a heavy workload. Question: what do you do with all those digital images now? Well, not only are you a photographer, but you are also an editor. Have you ever deleted an image? Then you are an editor, and now the pictures you keep, why do you save them? Because you love your photos, so why not process them, develop them, crop them, and make them even better. Now print it, frame it, and hang it on your wall. You took the time to edit and process the image, so show it off and be proud. Whether you are a smartphone or DSLR photographer, there is a software program to help you process and develop your digital images. Now do some post-production work, make your pictures into art, good luck and keep on shooting.
