Niagara Falls and Photo Creepers

    I suppose that Niagara Falls is a national landmark and yes, you do get lots of photo ops while visiting. Of course you are always going to get those photo creepers when taking pictures at a big tourist attraction such as this place.

    First thing you will need to do is upload the photo into your computer via usb connection or with a digital memory card. You should save it into a Photo Shop Element program saving it as a psd file. I suggest making a copy of the photo so that you will always have the unedited original. From this point, working with the copy, start by cropping out those crazy creepers in the photo. The photo also will need to be saved as a jpeg file making the photo fit the screen better and load much faster. Jpeg is also the best choice because of the lighting and subtle color changes in the photo. Jpeg also offers you 16.7 million colors to use.You will also want to set the resolution to 72dpi and a medium compression. Image size may also be changed. I suggest saving the web version of the photo as well.

    From here you can make other changes with added layers. You may want to change the sharpness or coloring in the photo. You can feather around your photo or possibly change the background color. These steps will be done by adding new layers. Remember to turn off the eye in the original so that you do not accidentally change it, once its changed its changed.

   You should be pretty much ready for an upload to your web site at this point.
