Punch up your images with this digital manipulation tutorial

But hell, my prints looked flat, I struggled with noise in the low-light shots, and the damn flash was no good over 2 meters!

Sound familiar? Don't throw away your new toy. It's a complicated piece of machinery, and deserves closer inspection, because it can deliver far more than what you've experienced this far. Have a look at the difference between these two pictures, for instance, and decide which one you prefer. That's how the new pictureperfect.co.za digital photo course can help you improve the colour, sharpness and tone of your pics. This does not include Photoshop, but lays the foundation for learning Photoshop as the principles taught are valid for most photo editing software packages.
