I’ve been using Photoshop since its first edition. I’ve also used lightroom since it was introduced, as well as Adobe Premiere Pro to edit Videos. I generally use Photoshop and Lightroom on every photo I take, and of course I need Premiere Pro always to edit videos. 

Sometimes those adjustments are simply, color correcting, adjusting for sharpness, making sure that horizons are level, etc. But often I go well beyond those simple edits, for example, fixing a worn spot in a chair when doing interior Real Estate photos. And while I love to create portraits, I especially love creating portraits that take on other elements, from placing different backgrounds behind the subject to having multilayers to produce stunning results. In fact, I am also an artist and have created entire magazine ads from scratch with no photography at all. That also allows me to do complex reconstructions of valued historic photos. It’s all in a day’s work, and it’s all about delivering the highest quality results.  In addition, when called upon, I use about five other programs to do such things as ad color, reduce grain, enlarge with little or no degradation, and sharpen.
