There are many things that photographers watch out for when they are taking pictuers. But they also make pictures better by editing somethings like black and white, color, cropping bad parts, sharpen, and more.

Although many photographers don't edit their photos since the cameras already take a really good quality picture there are some aspects that they do edit like the black and white because it shows more emotion and colors don't distract the viewer, also it makes good contrast with the lights. Sharpen the image by adding contrast, it makes the subject look more alive.
Goal 3 -What do people edit in casual, fun photos

Most people like to make sure that they look good in a picture so they fix their complexion, skin tone and make retouches. Make the colors pop more for it to be more attractive. They enhance the quality of the picture and eliminate errors like moving or red eyes.  

For next class...
My goals for next class are to start editing pictures i get on the internet that are not edited.
One picture will be a picture that will be most commonly edited by teens that want to make their pictures"prettier". And the other will be a picture that would be more professional for example for a brochure or something like that. Maybe I will do more examples of each kind, with different programs. Also start thinking in which media form will I present my final project.
