The original unedited image came up on my desktop background today. It was washed out and kinda poor.

Then I realized that it could, with a little work in a few apps, turn into a reasonable image. I like it.

I used Snapseed to adjust the colour / saturation and reduce the haze. And crop. Then off to Brushstroke to work on the treatment.

The sad part is that few of these photographs will survive beyond a year. To many people, a “picture” is only good for the moment. Moms and Dads want to snap every little movement of that new baby. Grandma wants to see everyone one of those too. When you want to show off the new puppy, you pull out the phone. And in a week, none of them have any real meaning and might even get “deleted” just to make room for more pictures that have little meaning as well inside of a couple of weeks.So what will become of all the pictures that are being taken today? Here is the reason that 99% of the photographs being taken today are soon going to be totally gone – digital images are no longer important enough to most people to actually keep them in printed form!

To The Mun – a screenshot I loved from about a year ago. But then I thought, hey, I wonder what a retro image would look like, then the theme of a vintage mission soundtrack album – like the kind you could get back in the ’70s like this: imgur.com/ddtJoJs

If you follow app pricing and apps Apple features on the iTunes iOS App Store, you’ll have noticed that this week Apple is making ProCam XL free. Very cool. Very functional.

But.

Also free, for today anyway, is Handy Photo, an app with a very slick interface and easy user experience I find reminiscent of Google’s Snapseed — also free.

So, then, here it is, three free and very good photo editing apps. Enjoy!

Advice from a great:

His point is a great one.  If you are only shooting when you plan to shoot you end up bring far too much stuff with you.  You end up bringing a couple of extra lenses, maybe you should include a flash, what about a tripod, etc.   By the time you are done you have way too much gear.  Don’t making taking photos too hard.  Always carry your camera with you and shoot what is in front of you.
