Photography and image editing

About photography and image editing

Digital photography allows you to capture light and convert it into a format that can be displayed on a screen. Accessories such as photography studio tents can help you control and optimise conditions to help create the intended outcome.

Image editing involves the modification of digital media, such as photographs, illustrations or prints. Software like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP can be used to edit existing files or to create new files using existing elements.
