How to adjust the electronics products photos taken with digital camera

I got the experience of adjusting black electronics products photo when I was taking the photo of "USB cable" with my digital camera which was intended for my previous post. It was taken under fluorescent light. So, you can imagine that the photo was not taken under enough light. I have uploaded the photo before adjustment and after adjustment.

The camera I am using now is BenQ DC 2410. It's not a very good digital camera but at least it can let me take photos for my posting.

If you have ever taken a photo that look like the one you've seen on this page, you can do the following adjustment. Usually a photo with black object and white background will look better with this adjustment. You can use any photo editing software. I usually use the simple yet wonderful tool of Faststone Image Viewer. It's a freeware.

Here are some adjustment you can do:
1. Try changing the brightness, decreasing it when it's too bright.
2. Increase the contrast a little by a little to make the black color looks darker and sharper.
3. Adjusting the saturation to see the vividness of your photo.

Enjoy experimenting!

Quick Image Resize using Faststone Image Viewer

Fast Stone Image Viewer is my favorite image viewer. It's free and also very powerful. Thumbs up for the programmer. I already have a post about it, but I can't stop myself from reviewing this freeware. It's a lose if we don't have this great and free viewer.

Quick Resize is a function that makes image resizing in Faststone Image Viewer easier. To resize an image, simply follow these steps:
1. Open the image file you want to resize, then move your mouse pointer to the right.
2. After that you will see the menu. Click Quick Resize.
3. Then select the resolution you want. You will see that image is resized after you click.
4. Move the pointer to the right again. Click Save As to save the file with a new name.
5. Type in the file name and click Save. Just that simple.

N.B.
On the save dialog box, you can also adjust the Jpeg options and compare the picture by clicking Options button.
