Photoshop: watermark
I admit to having mixed feelings about this tutorial. If only because we shouldn’t be forced to watermark our photos for fear of them being stolen. I think I found an appropriate intro photo, though!

Exposure is also subjective; what I might think to be the perfect exposure for a particular shot could easily be under or overexposed to your eyes, and vice versa. It really is in…
