Its hard to accept sometimes, but let's face itnot every photo that we take is perfect. Thanks to digital technology, we can now transfer our photos from our cameras to our computers and with a bit of creativity and digital editing we can make our pictures look almost professional. Through enhancements we can repair many errors such as the sharpness enhancement improving the quality on a fuzzy picture.

While almost every editor has the sharpness enhancement, not all are top quality. The best ones use internal algorithms to help enhance the photo. The sharpness tool is exceptionally helpful for blurry pictures or one with fuzzy borders and lines.

Another common tool used today is photograph resizing. What many people are not as familiar with is re-sampling, but what is the difference? Resizing is a term that refers to changing the pixels. Re-sampling uses an actual algorithm to fix the picture to appear not fuzzy, blurry, or blocked after being adjusted. When you resize a picture enlarging it, some of the pixels will be doubled.

With resizing some of the pixels will be removed when reducing an image resulting in some lines of the photo disappearing. Re-sampling however uses algorithms to determine the new size of the pixels. When re-sampling to a larger size, color will be added as a result of interpolation. When reducing an image through re-sampling, the actual pixels will be re-calculated. A good image editor will have multiple algorithms for resizing and re-sampling options.

Another popular question for people is how to convert photo files to get smaller pictures. This process is beneficial if you want to send photos over the internet. You can do this in two ways known as the lossless and lossy formats. Basically, one of these two methods can be used to create a smaller nearly untouched photo. Lossless means that the image appears the same as it was originally only smaller, but only to a certain degree. The drawback is that the final image may still be too big but it is completely unchanged. The most common form it is saved in is .png.

Lossy formats will actually lose some information. The advantage to this method is you will be able to chose the size you want it to end up in. The common form it is saved in is a .jpg. This will create small photos that will upload places quite easily. You will have to decide what will work best for you. Do you want a smaller original or do you mind sacrificing some of the photograph in order to make it as small as you want.

Viewing images is just as important as editing them. In order to easily access your images your photo viewer should be able to be customized, easily to use, have photo enhancement tools, printable contact sheets, convenient for attaining pictures, be able manage EXIF data and be able to batch process images. Some good ones are Zoner Photo Stuido which is quite user friendly.

Some good photo viewers are Zoner Photo Studio which is quite user friendly and Photophilia which is very adjustable and able to batch process. Base what photo viewer you use from your computer skills comfort level. You can choose a viewer that is quick and easy or a more complex viewer that offers more functions. Some functions that are especially helpful are the slide show, batch processor, editor functions and zoom factor.
