I have been editing my photos since about. . . about 9th grade using Photoshop Elements of various versions (my favorite is 5.0 even though I have up to 6.0). Because of this, I have already played around with editing tools for quite a while and have figured out (basically) what I like. So when I read this chapter, there wasn't too much that I could learn, or so I thought. The one thing that made the difference was the 'level adjusting' thing that I had never before heard of or used, so for this assignment, I wanted to try it out. And boy did it make a difference. For this picture, when I first photoshopped it, it was too. . . blah. Not enough contrast or dynamics to it. Soooo I went back to it after reading this chapter. I adjusted the black level, grey level, and white lever ever-so-slightly and BOOM! My picture looks like something worth posting! haha It's amazing what such a simple technique can do to up the ante on your photos. This photo didn't need any cropping (surprisingly) but I know how to use the tool.
