ABSTRACT
Image quality. One of the fi rst and easiest things you can do to whittle your photo selections is to throw out the technically defective images. Th is is the photo equivalent of weeding out resumes by tossing out those with typos. Scrap any photos that are out of focus, that lack good tonal range (value and grayscale) and that lack proper resolution (more about this shortly). Despite the availability of photo-correcting software, it’s still best to start with a good-quality photo that needs little to no correction. Some things can be fi xed. Others, like lack of focus and resolution, cannot.
