ABSTRACT
If the goal of copy editing is to improve a story destined for use in mass media, then the goal of photo editing is to improve a picture for the same reason. Cropping an image to include important visual information and exclude the unimportant is a huge part of making a good image. Photo-processing software applications offer anything from a few to a vast collection of filters. These can perform any number of actions to an image, whether it be adding or removing warmth, reducing noise, sharpening, or adding blur. Photo Mechanic is a much-loved editing software used by many professional photographers. Photo Mechanic is mainly used for ingesting, organizing, and classifying photos into groups. Masks and layers allow to make exposure or color-balancing changes to a highlighted portion of an image. Organization is important when working for any publication or client. Publishing images, videos, and other content often involves tight deadlines.
