Effects in photography
Photography is not as simple as it seems. It is not as simple as holding a camera and just clicking pictures. We need camera gears, stable lenses, exact settings, and a perfect hand to handle.
And post clicking pictures, we also use some post-processing editing software and tools to enhance the captured images. Especially when images are in RAW format, we do prefer editing tools for enhanced quality pictures.
The editing tools include several effects that we can apply to our images to enhance their quality and outlook. There are different variety of effects. For example, blur, smoke, light, Black and white, dynamic, and other such effect.
