Good Lighting/Bad Lighting
• We have to learn how to take good photos before we can edit them.
• Even though we CAN edit them in Photoshop, it is easier if we have good photos to work with.
• Take great photos in the first place=easier time in the lab.
The Numbers• Cell phone/ipod pictures are harder to edit because they are
smaller in size.• 12 megapixels or higher is easiest to edit (best if in RAW
format).
Examples
Indoor photo with bad lighting and no flash.
Examples Indoor photo with back lighting and no flash.

Flash• Do: Use for a fill flash when
taking outdoor portraits.• Do: Use it to bounce light if
you absolutely need it.
• Don’t: Use at night• Don’t: Use indoors (Turn on
the lights instead)
