Be a more efficient digital photographer 17/06/2008 14:00:00
Some easy tips and tricks

Maybe you love working with images on your PC-- but if so, you're probably an exception rather than the rule. Most people I know would rather be taking pictures than fiddling with them in an image editor.

Make artistic mosaics with your photos 13/06/2008 15:10:00
Create eye-catching mosaics by tiling dozens or even hundreds of your photos automatically

No matter what the subject matter or image resolution, every digital photo is really composed of a bunch of differently colored pixels. Zoom into a highly detailed photo of a boat, plane, building, or person, and eventually you'll reach a point where you can see the individual squares of colour.

How to take infrared photographs 11/06/2008 15:10:23
Get some attractive, unusual and eerie results

Infrared is a type of light, invisible to the human eye, that lies just beyond the red end of the visible spectrum. Unlike the eye, however, most digital cameras are sensitive to infrared, providing us with a means of seeing the invisible.

Make the world's cheapest tripod 05/06/2008 15:30:00
Here's how to make a string tripod, a simple do-it-yourself stabiliser that wins you sharper photos.

How to change the background in any photo 03/06/2008 13:10:00
With the lasso tool in your photo editor, you can change the backdrop in any family snapshot and make it look like you've traveled the world.

Sometimes you want your digital camera to slavishly record exactly what you see through its viewfinder. But there's no reason to be satisfied with ordinary reality when your imagination is so much more interesting. Digital tools let you replace the background in any photo. Here's how to do it using a standard photo editing program like Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Make the best of difficult lighting 29/05/2008 14:50:00
How can you correct lighting in a backlit scene?

A backlit scene -- one in which the main light source is behind the subject so you're shooting into the light -- is to photography what a 7/10 split is to bowling, or parallel parking on a steep hill is to driving a car.

Clean your digital SLR camera's image sensor 16/05/2008 16:10:00
Safely and effectively caring for your camera

If you look closely enough at photos taken with a digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera that's been used for a while, you'll probably see the dark silhouette of sensor grime. These opaque specks -- the result of dust and detritus that has settled inside your camera's body -- can become recorded into photos, permanently fuzzing or blocking parts of the image.

Correct your exposure with curves 14/05/2008 17:10:00
Tweak the brightness and contrast of your photos

The Curves tool allows you to correct the exposure of your photo by tweaking the brightness and contrast. It's kind of like using Levels or the Histogram.
