PHOA209: Problems & Solutions - Week 2 - Photo Editing: Developing Your Own Method & Style

Hi Class,

As we move forward with our course, you'll not only be narrowing down your photos into one genre or sub-genre to build a portfolio - but - we will also shooting new photographs and discussing "editing styles". 

As a professional photographer, it's important to have the images in your portfolio appear to look the same in terms of style: color, vibrancy, saturation, etc.  Below are some fantastic articles that I'd like you to read:
