ABSTRACT

The comment is often heard that in this digital age photographers need no longer be overly concerned about creating perfect results in the camera because images can easily be changed and improved, and all the faults can be corrected afterward in the computer. It is certainly possible to retouch images and to improve their quality by making them brighter or darker or sharper or by changing colors. You can also add a soft touch, make an image more effective by changing the composition or the background, produce double exposures, combine different images, or make almost any other desired changes. But these manipulations done in the computer are very time-consuming if you want to do them yourself and very costly when done on the outside. The best approach is still to become a good photographer

and to try to record an image in the camera that is as perfect as possible so that it needs little or no after work on the computer.
