Photo Kit: Every modern photographer should learn digital photo editing

Digital editing: Photoshop and Lightroom are now essential tools in a photographer's arsenal.

There used to be a time when we would take photos on our film cameras and once we’d finished a roll of film, we’d pop it out of the camera and send it off to the photo lab to be processed.

What you may not be aware of is that even when running the film through the automated minilab machine, the technician handling the machine will occasionally make adjustments to colour and contrast and brighten up underexposed photos to produce your final prints.
