"How to Do Everything: Digital Camera 5 edition"

Load your images into a photo editor such as Photoshop
Elements and use the Levels control (which I explain how to use in Chapter 13) to fix the
image. After you tweak the image, you can leave the red tint or (more commonly) convert it to
a grayscale image.
Essential Add-on Lenses
Granted, this is a matter of opinion, but there are a few add-ons that I highly recommend
keeping in your camera bag. I suggest that you carry these lenses if you like to experiment
with different perspectives and focal lengths (if you have a Digital SLR, check out Chapter 2
for more specific SLR-related recommendations):
?–  UV or skylight filter If your camera has screw threads on the front of the lens,
you might want to add a filter to protect the lens from bumps, bangs, dust, dirt, and
over-aggressive cleaning. A $25 filter can protect your expensive camera investment
for quite a long time, making it one of your smartest investments. You can throw it
away and replace it any time it gets scratched or otherwise damaged.
?–  Telephoto A 2X telephoto can dramatically increase the ???reach??? of your digital
camera.
?–  Wide angle If you can get a .5 or .6X wide-angle lens for your digital camera, it
becomes much easier to get indoor photos, especially ones with a lot of people.
