What does a Photoshop freelancer do?

The obvious answer is that a Photoshop freelancer uses Adobe Photoshop to earn extra money. Adobe Photoshop is an image and photo editing software program that allows you to create new images and edit existing photographs. You can also add amazing effects to existing images or photos.

So, just how exactly can you make extra cash as a Photoshop freelancer?

A search of the internet will pull up a variety of sites that offer freelancing services. You can either submit your work and join their crew or you can begin your own site and solicit business that way. There are also freelancing websites that you can join and then bid on jobs that you feel you could successfully finish.

If you want to become a Photoshop freelancer, then you first need to know the basics in Photoshop. You need to first learn how to use the different tools in the software in order for you to know how you will be able to turn amateur photographs to look something like it was taken by a professional.

The program, while very powerful, doesn't take all that long to learn. Simply experiment and read the available tutorials. Play around with your own photos and soon you will be ready to take on smaller photo editing jobs.

One example of a job that you might take on would be photo restoration. Unfortunately many older photos have not withstood the test of time and are faded, torn or even have water damage. These can all be fixed using the tools available in Photoshop. All you need is a scanner, a computer with Adobe Photoshop installed, and a high quality color printer as well as a lot of photo paper.

Another way to edit images is by removing red-eye. We all know that the red-eye phenomenon is something that can eventually ruin a perfect photograph. With Adobe Photoshop, you will be able to remove the red-eye.

Some people will also want to edit some of the photos they took. For example, there will be some people who want to remove other people from the photograph they took. This is also possible to do with Adobe Photoshop but it will require some time and also quite a bit more work. Other people will want to change the background of the photo. Again, this is also possible to do with Adobe Photoshop but it will also require more skills and you need to have plenty of time to do these kinds of jobs.

Almost everything is possible with Adobe Photoshop. In fact, professional photographers use this software for the so-called air brushing where they remove imperfections from the bodies or faces of their models.

By becoming a Photoshop freelancer, you will be able to make some extra cash out of it and really make amateur looking photos in to professional looking ones. By mastering Adobe Photoshop, you will see that there are quite a lot more ways on how you will be able to make money out of this software.
