Photoshop

With the advancements in digital photography and the convenience of the internet, art directors are frequently turning to stock agencies to meet time and budget constraints. Stock photography can be a life-saver, but finding a shot that meets all the creative and communication criteria can also be a challenge. At other times working with a necessary but substandard photo might be the issue. 

Fortunately, the transformations that photography went through also brought us Photoshop. With it, a damaged photo can be restored, multiple photos can be composited into one that tells the full story, and the sins of an amateur photographer can be absolved.
