Earlier this month, Tiarnie, our in-training Digital Marketer, headed up to the Apple store in Rundle Mall, Adelaide, to attend an iPhone editing course. The course included an in-depth demonstration of how to use iPhone editing in photos. It may not seem very useful, but the iPhone photo editor is overlooked and isn't always used to its potential.
Hear is from Tiarnie:
Earlier this month, I went to Adelaide for an Apple editing course. I arrived at the Apple store in Rundle Mall. I was quickly checked in, and the class began. Jayred was our lecturer for this course, and I was impressed! Jayred thoroughly described the photo app and how it works. I found it interesting how the photos app automatically groups pictures in albums, making it easy to find and search for particular media you are looking for.
We then moved on to the editing side of the app. He describes how each dial works and what affects the photo.
• I learnt how to adjust the editing dials, e.g. saturation.
• I learnt when you take a photo, you can adjust what the photo looks like before taking it, e.g. (exposure, rich contrast, warm and cool)
• I learnt you can take photos in 4.3, 16.9 and square measurements
• I learnt if I take crooked photos, I can straighten them using the cropping tool
• I learnt that skewing photos vertically from the bottom brings either the top of the photo forward
• I learnt skewing horizontal does the same, but from the left or right
