You might have tried to dabble into Photoshop before, only to click away on your image without the slightest idea of what you\u2019re doing. After hours of frustrating mishaps, you end up with a worse picture than you had before. That\u2019s why before we go into the really juicy stuff, it\u2019s important for us to start from the FUNDAMENTALS. What are the editing best practices? How should you set up your image settings?
