How to Edit, Resize and Print Your Photos in Photoshop

The next thing you "may" want to do is to add some Saturation to your photo. Adding Saturation will make most photos look better and "pop" off the screen. You don't want to overdo it though as that will make your photo look fake.

To adjust the Saturation of you photo, goto the "Image" Menu and choose "Adjustments" and then slide over to "Hue/Saturation." In addition to adjusting the Saturation, this tool can also be used to adjust the Hue(color basically) and Lightness of the picture.

This tool is pretty easy to use and straightforward. Move the Saturation slider forward and backward until you get the results you like and then click "OK."

You may want to sharpen your photo next. You can do this with the "Unsharp Mask" tool. I know, it sounds like something opposite of what you want to do, but believe me, this is the right tool to use to sharpen your photo. Goto the "Filter" Menu this time and select "Sharpen" and then slide over to "Unsharp Mask."

This may look like a somewhat complicated tool and it sorta is. What do Radius and Threshold do? It doesn't really matter for most people. You can fool around with the settings or just leave the Radius and Threshold at the default, Radius = 1.0, Threshold = 0. Fool around with the "Amount" setting until you get something you like, maybe between 40-65, be sure not to overdo it or it will look fake, and click "OK."
