Photoshop

In general, Photoshop (or any other photo editing software) is great. You can fix smudges, get rid of glare, adjust colors, make funny captions, etc. These features are nice, but at the same time it can be a love-hate relationship.
Call me old fashioned, but I like looking at pictures of places I've been, people I've gone there with, and the things I've done and saying to myself, "That's how it looked." I like to see what it actually looked like...not some fairytale land. For instance, our wedding pictures. Awesome. Seriously could not have been better. However, when I'm flipping through them there are some where the colors have clearly been enhanced. Don't get me wrong, it makes a great picture, but was that "how it looked"? No. And that's fine. It was a beautiful sunny day that I will never forget. I really didn't need Photoshop to make it any better.
Photo editing is great, but just be careful. Sometimes you just can't make the real-deal any better.
