Assignment #7
1. List photo-editing software:
- Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 - support is offered at Adobe.com. While this is an older version of Photoshop it still suits my purposes.
- Picasa by Google- A lot of times I just need to do very basic things like lightening a picture, clearing up a blemish, or softening a wrinkle. Picasa can do it and since I use it for viewing and organizing my photos, I don't have to jump from program to program.
2. Lighten a Dark Picture
