What is digital editing?
I am sometimes asked to explain what "digital editing" means. So let me try to illustrate the various terms and procedures using the sequence of images below. "Basic editing" will include simple red-eye removal, which most people are familiar with, but may also include some simple colour balancing.  Fig 1. shows the original image file as captured at the time, and with an orange 'cast' created by the ambient lighting. Fig 2. shows the same image with the orange 'cast' removed and 'colour balanced' to appear more natural.
Conversion to black and white (Fig 3.) or sepia, is a "standard editing" feature and an option which can be selected at the time of ordering prints/cd images.
I will usually show some examples of b&w images in your online gallery/preview cd.

Object removed4. Image cropped5. "Full digital editing" includes all of the above features, and more. In Fig 4. for example, the unsightly tent pole has been removed to give a clear canvas backdrop, and in Fig 5. the image has been cropped to remove other distracting elements and allow more focus on the facial expressions of the happy couple.
