Digital Art & Photography

Digital Jewelry Photography is essential within the field and careers of Jewelry and crystal business. Career scope in the Jewelry photography or design line may require one to know a little bit about digital jewelry photography.

There are several types of set-up for digital jewelry photography. The 2 most common ones are:

1. Product Photography styled. The layout and setup for this is as per typical product photography, which is usually within a studio environment.

2. Jewelry-on-model styled. In this setup, a model is engaged to showcase the jewelry. Almost in all circumstances, an attractive woman is used for the digital jewelry shoot. In this setup, the jewelry is showcased within its contextual environment. In another word, the jewel is being portrayed as it is to be used or worn on a woman. For this type of digital jewelry photography, the criteria and setting is similar to that of portrait photography.

The main focus of any setup for digital jewelry photography is to put the jewelry as the subject and to bring out it attractiveness as best as possible.

Typically, the following settings are used for digital jewelry photography:

1. Macro or close-up mode is used. Because most jewelries, gems and crystals are small, macro photography is more suitable. This also helps to defocus the environment and keep the focus on the jewelry piece itself.

2. No flash. Flash should not be used when taking jewelry shots. This is because, the flash will create unsightly hard edges and sharp shadows. On the other hand, diffused lighting will soften and enhance the beauty of the jewelry piece.

3. Keep the background uncluttered. This is especially true for product photography styled setup.

Well, that’s all for the article on Digital Jewelry Photography career. Hope that it is useful.

Print-based photo frame is fast becoming old technology. With the advances made in digital technology, traditional photoframes are taking on a digital and technological slant. The merger of digital image displaying technology and the traditional photo frame is the very cool Digital Photo Frame.

With the digital photo frame, you no longer need to process your roll of film to get photo prints anymore. Neither do you need a PC or Mac to display your digital photos. All that is required is for you to slot the memory card from the digital camera into the card slot on the Digital Photo Frame. The basic Digital Photo Frame models can accept both MMC and SD format cards.  The more expensive models can also accept other formats too.

Digital Photo Frames are able to read digital bitmaps in JPEG format. This is the most common image file format that is supported by all digital compact cameras and DSLRs.

Depending on the model of the product, Digital Photo Frames have different options and functions. Some of the higher end models can even play music and display animations or movies. Movie and Music files formats that can be read by these products include  MP3, MP4 as well as AVI.

A new breed of free image editors is springing up into the Image Editing scene. These programs are launched online via websites.

One of the most promising is Splashup. Below is a screenshot of this free online image editor.

After trying it for a while, here’s our opinion.

This is a pretty useful program which is quite similar in interface to Photoshop or Photoplus. If one already know how to use Photoshop or Photoplus, this software’s usage will be fairly self explanatory. However, because it is launched online, operations are slower than typical desktop-based image editors. High resolution digital photos can take minutes to load.

Also, do not expect high-end tools to be found on this program. It is really fairly basic. However, what we like is that it sports a useful layer function that is similar to Photoshop’s, Photoplus and GIMP’s.

This tool is no where near Photoshop, Photoplus or even GIMP and Paint.NET in terms of power and functionality. For example, it has only a handful of filter effects. It is also lacking in more advanced selection tools, thus seriously hampering the types of things that can be done.

What we like about this online image editor is the fact that it can be launched from anywhere as long as there is internet access and a decent web browser such as Firefox.

Have fun image editing.
