\nHave you ever stopped to look at your photo? I mean, really look at it. When it comes to you fresh from the camera, you may see that something\u2019s amiss, but you just can\u2019t quite put your finger into it. Does the lighting take focus away from the subject? Are your eyes immediately drawn to something else? You become good at Photoshop through an understanding of color and being able to balance the tones. You need to introduce proper perspective, with a creative eye. You must be aware of the details, but not let yourself become bogged down in them.<\/p>\n

The biggest limitation I see with Photoshop usage is being sloppy. Jerky\/jagged lines. Repeating patterns. A general inability to guide consistent and believable results. I see all these tools as nothing more than possible pathways to perfection. The skills come from your ability of knowing which tools work best, in which situations. Over time, you learn shortcuts that speed up the processes.<\/p>\n
