Most of us now own a digital camera and a PC. Yet many people still see photo editing as a complex technique, performed by big flash companies who publish magazines.
What many people do not realise is that touching up family photos, cropping, resizing and adjusting light levels can be a simple task, done using inexpensive, off-the-shelf software by someone with little or no experience!

One of the brilliant things about the internet is the wealth of information it provides, absolutely free. Simply search for 'crop photo tutorial' or 'reduce redeye tutorial' on your favourite search engine and you will find hundreds of free tutorials, taking you step by step through the process of editing a photo.
As well as a source of information, the internet is an excellent source for photo editing software. There is a whole range of software out there, from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars. Simply weigh up the features and decide which photo editing software is right for you.

Not only can you edit photos with image editing software, but you can do a huge amount of image related tasks. Such as drawing diagrams, drafting up designs, company logos, letterheads, banners and so much more.
