Photoshop is a wildly powerful program that gives photographers of all skill levels a lot of creative latitude in terms of how the process their images. And while that latitude leads to some truly incredible images that have stunning detail, some Photoshop functions can be used in a way that actually detracts from the image.
You’ve no doubt seen a portrait that’s obviously been through one too many cycles of eye retouching. You’ve probably also seen a few black and white images that were converted by desaturating the image. You might have even done these and other Photoshop faux pas yourself!
In the video below, Tutvid takes us on a quick tour of the Photoshop misfires noted above, as well as eight other Photoshop no-nos. If you can avoid doing these 10 things, you’ll be in a much better position to create the kind of stunning photos that make people say “Wow!” instead of “Yuck!”
