Picture And Editing

A picture is something which is taken to last a memory forever and editing is something which is done to make that picture beautiful.

But what happens when in order to make that memory perfect by adding some technical beauties in it and it turns out fake more than thelittle perfect you wanted it to ?

People love to capture memories and all it takes is some smiling faces and a click to get a shot we could cherish till our last breath but how does it feel if the memories fades under the facade of heavy editing that not only makes the picture too fake but also makes it loose it real essence.

All you are left with are some raw and incomplete attempts to make that picture perfect but sometimes the results just make it worse and too fake to believe.

These days people are so hell bent on making the pictures perfect that sometimes they don’t realise how much over editing they do to that picture and what a big blunder it could turn because of that. Nowadays everybody think that they are photographers and they could click amazing pictures and make it perfect by editing it using the editing apps and filters the social networking sitesprovide.

But they forget that a photo is not only about that perfect smile, that perfect jaw line, or that perfectly shaped cheek bones or the background but every picture has a life in it and that life speaks when it is not toyed under heavy editing .

You might look more gorgeous but that essence could be killed ridiculously that only comes in an original photograph that is just timely shot.

Yes, there are not only disadvantages of editing apps. They do make the pictures really beautiful and eye catching when done in a right way but when editing is overly performed it can also turn a picture disastrousand absolutely pathetic.

So at the end what matters is the intentions. If the picture is edited with the right intention of capturing a memory rather than just the intention of making it likeable to post it on social media in order to get few likes from the people who neither know you in real life nor care enough to know the reason behind your smile or editing looks.

When done by the right hands even a normal picture can turn attractive and eye catching but when done over the line, it can turn some real fake stuff.
