I keep all my original photos as well as the edited copies. I only keep what I like, or what has potential to be used. Everything else gets trashed because there are just too many photos to keep. Everything that is important I have 2 copies of and the most important shots I have 3 copies of. Hope this helped. -
I don't think there is anything wrong with editing an image, as long as the original subject isn't "lost!" I've worked with a few different programs, and Photoshop is still my favorite!Comment

Along these same lines, I'm using Photoshop Elements. Is that just a watered down version of another Photoshop product?
I see no problem in cleaning up an image either. The technology is there to make changes to a digital format in many of the same ways the darkroom allowed dodge/burn, crop and so forth.

What's the difference in a great photo right from a camera and a great photo right from a computer program? Both took man made equipment to produce. Some are better at one than the other and some are like me, not good with either. Love seeing the beautiful ones put on the site. ThanksComment

Digitally Altering Photos
Photos from most digital cameras need a little altering to be the best that photo could be. Sharpening is definitely helpful--but do not overdo it. Contrast, brightening, cropping, resizing, etc. all help in particular situations. I use Photoshop and find that Photoshop Elements has most of the tools needed to prepair a photo. Also, FastStone Image Viewer, a free program, is a good program to do many alterations to a photo.Comment

I wish Russell Graves would chime in on this subject and explain what he does to his photos and how he goes about it.Comment
