Digital Camera Photos: From Point And Click To Pointillism

Author: David Faulkner

Article:
First the digital camera was the next big thing in photography.
Now thousands of ten year olds are walking around with digital
cameras on their cell phones, emailing themselves pictorial
records of their lives.

The digital camera has removed most of the science and a lot of
the artistry from the art of photography, because anyone who
knows how to scroll down the camera menu and correct its
settings for the lighting can point, press, and review the
resulting digital camera photos in a matter of seconds. Not a
roll of film, light meter or darkroom in sight, and many botched
digital camera photos can simply be erased and re-shot.

While the convenience and user friendliness of digital cameras
has opened the doors to millions of new photographers, those who
have been fans of digital camera photos from their beginning
have expanded their horizons to include putting the artistry
back into the art. What the amazing FX people of the Hollywood
motion picture industry can create on the silver screen has its
counterpart on the computer screen for those who are willing to
learn how to use software to alter their digital camera photos.

While you can purchase the software to rework your digital
camera photos, you can also download many very sophisticated
software programs from the Internet at no charge. Whatever
software you choose, however, should clearly state that it is
compatible with both your digital camera and you personal
computer.

How To Use Your Digital Camera Photo Editing Software

Once you've installed your software, select one of your digital
camera photos which is the same as it was when you transferred
it from your camera to your PC. Save it under a new name. By
doing this you'll still have the original photo as you
downloaded it, and the copy which you are going to be altering.
If you don't like the way the copy turns out, you can always
delete it and start again from scratch with the original. Always
give your reworked digital camera photos new names before you
save them.

Put the copy of your photo into the digital camera photos
editing software, and read the software help if you like.
Otherwise you can just begin experimenting. If you don't like an
effect, you don't have to save it. The digital camera photos
editing software will give you the ability to make of your
digital camera photos fantastical creations to satisfy your
every creative urge.

Digital Camera FX

Are you a nostalgic sort? Try exchanging the colors of your
digital camera photos for the sepia tones of yesteryear. Or go
for the striking and stark black and white landscapes of Ansel
Adams. Transform the clear pixilated surface of your href="http://www.topdigitalcamerareviews.com/">digital camera
photos into newsprint graininess. Or the Impressionist paint
strokes of Van Gogh. Or the pointillism of Georges Seurat.

Give your digital camera photos the appearance of having been
shot through a filter-- Grand Canyon scene done in red or
purple; an autumn woodland shot in rust or orange. Make a drop
of water into prism with the rainbow effect.

Reshape your digital camera photos with the software cropping
feature; turn that rectangular autumn scene into a pumpkin
shape; make the picture of your favorite rosebush into a rose.
Exaggerate or eliminate shadows and blemishes as you please.
Your digital camera photos software is your portal to a visual
world where you make up all the rules.

It certainly it beats being a ten year old emailing yourself a
pictorial record of your life from your cell phone!
