Digital Editing Photography Shack Guide
Using Digital Editing Software To Edit Images, Video And Audio
By Nikos L Maxwell
Digital editing software Adobe Photoshop is the industry
leader in professional photo image editing software
and is rather expensive. But Adobe Photoshop Elements
is a cut down consumer version
of the same photo editing software and is often bundled
with digital equipment such as scanners and cameras.
There are also video and audio digital editing software
such as Adobe Premiere Pro and add special effects with
Adobe After Effects. Please note, there is Adobe Premiere
Elements available as a cheaper consumer version for
video editing.
Digital Editing Software
You can use digital editing software to edit basic
images on your computer, such as taking out the red
eye in portraits, or adjust images in a video or adjust
sound in an audio, or add special effects to images,
video and audio. The possibilities are endless.
No matter what field of media you work in, digital
editing software is the key. When I first started out
as a designer and musician, I thought that the art you
created was largely independent of the media.
A good artist could create good art, no matter what
they were working with. A bad artist, even with the
best digital audio editing software, would always produce
junk. It has taken me years to realize how naive I was
at that point. The things that I believed simply were
not the case.
Digital Video Editing
I have been working with digital
video editing software such as Adobe Premiere
Pro and Adobe After Effects for years, but it only took
me weeks to realize how important it was to the movie
industry. Let's face it: movies have gone downhill but
no one has noticed.
The digital editing software is so good that they can
splice things together, add in special effects, alter
the dialogue, alter the characters, and generally rework
things at the last minute to make them appear
passable.
The same movies that we make today would not work without
digital editing software. Can you imagine seeing the
Lord of the Rings without all of the CG? No one would
bother. It would be a flop!
Digital Audio Editing
The same is the case with most of the music that we
listen to nowadays. I have a friend who is heavily involved
in the recording industry, so I know what I'm talking
about. He says the digital editing software is more
important than the actual artists that are picked by
the studios. The artists are mostly picked for their
looks and their style, not for their musical
ability.
All the songs are written by independent songwriters
who contract with the studios anyway. A few vocal tracks
are taken from the “recording artists”,
and patched together with digital editing software.
Quite often the vocals are enhanced and may sound different
when the vocals are heard live on stage.
I would say a good half of the pop stars nowadays don't
even know how to play music. At least a third of them
could not sing the first time that they came into the
studio. It doesn't matter.
With the right digital editing software, anything is
possible. Digital editing software can make Britney
Spears a star, just as analog editing hardware once
made the Beatles a supergroup.
You can be bitter about it or you can accept it, but
the facts don't change. You need the right gear to do
the job.
Professional Digital Editing Software
I use professional level digital editing software such
as Adobe Photoshop to edit images,
Adobe Premier Pro to edit video
and audio, Adobe After Effects to add special
effects, for all my digital editing. Use of this
software always bring me the results to meet customer
requirements and give me the edge to meet project deadlines.

More Photography Facts....
What types of cameras are commonly used in wedding
photography?
There are three main types of cameras
used in wedding photography. They are 35mm cameras,
digital cameras, and medium format cameras. In this
digital age, 35mm is still a widely used camera for
wedding photography.
These are used mainly for fast
action wedding shots. They are valued for their durability,
compactness, and ease of use. Digital cameras have become
much more popular, even preferred for wedding
photography.
The quality of photos is just
good as film, there is no processing time, no risk of
damaging negatives, and photos can easily be adjusted
for a better outcome. Medium Format cameras produce
a negative that is up to three times larger than one
from a 35mm camera, without a loss of detail.
However, Medium Format cameras
are much larger than 35mm's and digital cameras. A fourth
type of camera that may be used in a studio for a pre-wedding
shot is a Large Format camera. These cameras are stationary
due to their size and weight.
