Adobe Photodeluxe is a popular and handy photo-editing program. The features on this software are easy to use, and can build amazing pictures and graphics for both personal photo and website design.Adobe has a wide range of products. Adobe Photodeluxe is my personal favorite. It is great for a beginner with easy to use selections and a great help section. The best way to learn how to use Adobe Photodeluxe is to mess around with the controls to see what you can come up with on your own. You can turn your photos into chalk drawings, black and white portraits, or get really creative with colors and textures.Adobe Photodeluxe can be used to downsize large amounts of photos from your digital camera. I often resize ten a time, but newer computers might handle more. The amount of memory on your computer will determine how many you can do in one shot, but I find it to be the easiest way to do it for my needs. You can choose photo size and/or pixel size.Adobe Photodeluxe also allows you to turn your photos into any file type you might need. There are settings for jpeg and bmp, which are by far the most common types used on the Internet. There are also settings for flash and other more complicated settings needed for web design.One of my favorite features of Adobe Photodeluxe is the erase feature. This allows you to remove unwanted backgrounds from pictures and replace them with anything you would like to have there. You can also make all kinds of silly photos buy cutting pieces from different photos to create a collage.You can also use Adobe Photodeluxe to repair photos. While the feature for repairing scratched or old photos is not perfect, you can see an improvement. You can also use this software to lighten or darken the brightness and contrast of a photo. Photos you thought were too dark to keep can suddenly be useful.

Useful photoshop TIP - 3

One of my favorite tools is the cloning tool. It is easy to use and allows me to take away blemishes or other elements in the picture that I wish were gone. The tool bar at the top allows you to adjust the size of the clone stamp, the percentage of the cover up, and the edge of the stamp. I suggest picking a clone stamp that has a blurry edge when working with faces and setting the percentage at about 50% so the edge of the clone isn’t a hard line. Try dragging the selected area to cover larger areas. Another trick I use can help change yellow or mis-colored teeth so they are white and beautiful. I use the lasso tool to outline the person’s teeth, go to control u, pick yellow in the drop down menu then adjust the saturation and lightness to give a beautiful smile. One last tool I use sparingly is the sharpen action under filters. I select the unsharp mask option so I can see the amount of change it will cause. It is important to use this tool carefully as it can make a picture look too pixilated and unnatural if adjusted too far.
