- understand the different characteristics, pros and cons of the most popular picture file formats
- brief suppliers of digital files (authors, picture libraries) – vital if you want to eliminate problems at the beginning
- make basic colour corrections, and adjust for contrast and brightness
- retouch blemishes and remove unwanted details
