5 Easy Steps to Edit Your Photos Using PaperPort

Have you been struggling with your jewelry pictures and never getting it right? Well, I think you are among many of us who have tried and failed but settled with whatever we have.

Through a series of long and somewhat comical events, starting with my PC getting a virus, and me having to re-install ¬all my software, I have discovered a software called PaperPort that made editing my photographs so much easier.
At first, I wasn't quite happy with the software because the functions are very limited when compared to the infamous Photoshop, however, I stuck through it and to my surprise I was completely happy with my end results. And the best thing was it didn't take a LONG time to achieve this. All it took was 5 easy steps.

Step 1: Take GOOD pictures (see previous post)

Step 2: Uploading your pictures to the computer.

Step 3: Open the picture you want to edit. Select Page, then Enhance. Automatically, a screen with many different options of the current images with certain enhancements will show. By default, the 'contrast & brightness' is selected. You can use the little slider on the bottom to choose the level of intensity. Then choose the picture with the best level of contrast and brightness.

Step 4: Select Page, Resize. Resize it.

(Optional - if you want to add blur or a tint of color you can do that under enhancement as well.)

Step 5: Save. Finish. It’s as simple as that!

The only drawback is that PaperPort is not a free software, but you should be able to find free trials to download. Also, PaperPort is mainly use for maintaining paper documents, but it works great for ME for my particular purpose.

Hope you find it useful!
