Basic editing

[Armywife]

Hi all! This is my first post here! I am a newbie photographer just starting out my business, and i am just wondering what basic edits everyone does to their photographs before they hand them over to their clients? Mostly i try to get my photos the way i want them in camera, but always try to play around with contrast and brigtness and sharpness and ive just started to mess with curves....what does everyone else do? Or does it mainly just depend on the photo? Thanks for the advice! I just have alot of work starting to pile up and im stuck in a dont-know-what-to-do funk!

Check out some photoshop books and tutorials for photo editing. Usually I play with the levels and line the little arrows up with where the bars actually start.

And that is the technical jargon. lol I do the same as chels.

The possibilities are endless as you are well aware. I tend to use curves most often with the combination of Unsharp Mask topped off with some slight +Hue and Saturation.
