This is why you will need Adobe Photoshop (CS..2,3,4,5). So, what is Adobe Photoshop?
First of all, you need to remember that most professional photographers today use digital cameras. I say most, because there are still a few hold outs. Film cameras are a thing of the past and digital cameras are a lot easier to use and provides better quality photographs. So, I am assuming you are already using a digital camera, and you will see that Adobe Photoshop will be able to help you a lot on your job as a professional photographer.
This is basically "the" image editing and enhancing software program that will allow you to edit and enhance the photos you take and upload from your digital camera to the computer. For example, you have to remember that no one likes the red-eye phenomenon on their photos. If you have been hired to take a picture of a kid's birthday party and you saw that the seemingly great pictures you took resulted in a red-eye phenomenon on most of the subjects, the people who hired you will not really be satisfied because of it.
Even if you are using the latest professional grade digital camera with red-eye reduction, the red-eye phenomenon will still happen whether you like it or not. With Adobe Photoshop, this is no longer a problem as it will have the red-eye detection tool which will detect the red-eye on the photos you take and get rid of it. The result is a natural looking photograph without the red-eye on the subjects.
Also, you have to remember that there are times where you will be faced with a bad lighting condition. No matter how many times you adjust your digital camera, you will still have to deal with the bad lighting condition which will ruin any photograph. Adobe Photoshop has tools that will help you deal with lighting and colour. With the adjust brightness and contrast, adjust colour intensity, and hue adjustment tools, you will be able to make dark photos in to something that looks like it was taken in the best possible environment.
As a professional photographer, you will sometimes take headshots. For this kind of job, Adobe Photoshop will make your subjects look more handsome and beautiful. How? Well, Adobe Photoshop has tools that will help enhance the skin or the face of your subject. You can remove pimples, and other imperfections from the subject's face. And, you can even make someone old look a little bit younger.
If your subject is very pale, you can add some colour on their cheeks and make them look as if they have those healthy rosy cheeks. In fact, Adobe Photoshop even has some tools that will make an obese person look as if they were a model of Victoria's Secret and vice versa. This is how powerful Adobe Photoshop is.
So, if you are a professional photographer and you are looking for a way to edit your photos to make it look flawless, then you will need Adobe Photoshop.
