Photo Editing for compiling of technician reports

[cloa]

What sort of photo editing activies would be used for the above?

 

[PSE]

A rather open ended question. It depends on what you want to or need to do with (or to) the photo.

Have you read faq731-376 to make the best use of these Forums?

Adjust colour, brightness, sharpness, etc.
Adding notes with leaders to objects in the images.
Highlighting specific areas of interest.
Making pictures of your boss look much meaner and fatter.
Swapping peoples bodies and heads?

Seems to me that most of what you need is Acrobat or a reasonable facsimile. If these are indeed reports, then they need to be readable as reports. If they're being scanned in, then most of the contrast, etc., need to be fixed at that time. In fact, you can usually scan directly to PDF, if you have the appropriate software.

I resort to Paint & the editing functionality in Word for many of my pictures when I use them in procedures etc.

Saves me having to learn yet another piece of software I only use once in a blue moon.

KENAT,

Have you reminded yourself of faq731-376 recently, or taken a look at

For those wanting to try a program that can "do it all", this is essentially an open source equivalent to Adobe PhotoShop. I am in my infancy of doing much with it as there is so much in there.

GIMP is excellent. I was going to recommend it but was beaten to it by PSE.
