For the photo above, taken on a particularly cloudy day, I moved the white balance slider on the Snapseed app to the right to add more warmth to the image. With a photo-editing tool, you can adjust the white balance long after you snap a picture. "They often get confused when there's no pure white or gray in the frame, so you end up with imperfect white balance." "Most cameras tend to capture bluish images," Pietruch adds. Fluorescent bulbs cast a bluish tone, too, and tungsten bulbs make things more yellow. Have you ever noticed that your pictures look a little bluer on a cloudy day and more orange during a summer sunset? What you're responding to is color temperature, and it's no less significant indoors. On the bright side, today's cameras create pictures with lots of megapixels, Pietruch says, so you can crop without sacrificing too much image quality. But if you're thinking of displaying it on a high-def screen or in a large format print, you're likely to notice the difference. That's not a big concern if you plan to post the image on Instagram or Facebook. (To see the difference, drag the sliding tool to the left or right.)ĭon't get carried away, though, because cropping deletes data from the image file, and removing those pixels from the frame results in less definition and less detail. In the image above, I used one to eliminate excess dead space from the background.
"So your subject might get lost in the image if you don't crop."ĭigital cropping tools allow you to remove those garbage cans, telephone poles, unwanted pedestrians, and other extraneous details from the edges of a photo. "Most smartphones capture wide-angle images," says Artur Pietruch, a Consumer Reports camera and photography expert.
