It helps if you started early on and just added to your knowledge of the program as new functions were added. Jumping into it today the way I did 20 years ago would be daunting, to say the least, but I was already well over fifty then.

Still, what the author says is true. If you want the best from your images, you have to move beyond jpegs and start using the negatives, aka raw files. Start slow, learn one or two things at a time, and work into it. You’ll find that you don’t use a lot of what Photoshop offers even after you master it. Once you get the basics, you can add a new trick or two until you’re an expert.

Hey Donnie – you ain’t too old. You said yourself you learnt to move away from AUTO. All you need to do is take a couple photos in RAW and play with it using a couple of tips at a time. I am probably older than you (I don’t tell people my age usually) and was brought up with Black and White film – that was BEFORE JPEG!

RAW is a PHOTO DIGITAL NEGATIVE (capitalised on purpose). You cannot save over it and it remains as was shot. Unlike JPEG where you can accidentally or on purpose save over it and each time run the risk of degrading or compressing your photo even more than it is. My RAW files are my safety net and originals.

Seriously, if you do not shoot in RAW you are depriving yourself of so much in the way of fantastic results. JPEGS in my mind are for snapshots and happy shots – I still use this format. Really great shots deserve all the data and depth of colour that JPEG will not provide.

The one thing I learned (late in life) that really changed my photography forever was switching to RAW and using the histogram and the exposure slider in the editing software (it ain’t hard) – snow actually is white not grey! (just one of the many great benefits). I agree with the author – if you want the photo to stand out you need RAW originals. Experiment you cannot destroy a RAW file by saving over it.

Now I need a my Grandad nap……….ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

In reply to Eyestar Creations. I realize everyone has their favorite methods for healing and cleaning up faults in images. I personally rarely use Content Aware, so I didn't include it on my list.

This old dog is too far gone to savvy the controls and adjustments in Lightroom and Photoshop. I fear I am stuck using the good old JPEG tools of days gone by; I guess I am decade too late and a few brain cells hort of “understanding” all the new terminology and functions. I DO, however, appreciate the TIPS I have received; I do a lot better now than I did when “AUTO” was the only way I shot.

Good
points all of them. I would add the ‘content aware’ using select >
Shift + F5 for healing. I think that does a sensational job of
cleaning/editing/retouching too
