Deciding What to Do with Less-Than-Perfect Photos
As you view your vacation photos, you’ll probably find a large number with problems as well as some that are near-duplicates of each other. What should you do with them? You can delete them, of course, but here are some alternatives to consider:
- Create a panoramic view from photos with overlapping details. You can do this with Windows Live Photo Gallery or Photoshop Elements (Figure 15).
- Use photo repair tools in any of these programs to improve color, lighting, and sharpness when a “bad” photo is the only one you have.
- Use special effects in any of these programs to add some excitement.
- With Photoshop Elements, you can combine a face from one photo with another photo to solve problems with group photos (eyes closed, poor expressions, and so on) using Photomerge Group Shot.
