Great blog and nice post, I think I’d add one thing though, before you start editing photos you should save an unaltered copy. Higher-end programs let you do this with a working file, but some free or low cost ones may not have that capability. Basically my reasoning being if you’re new to editing and end up not liking your results you have a backup copy so you haven’t lost anything. Once again really enjoyed the post!

I’ll add just one piece of advice that I think helps a ton…

Watch your horizon! Keeping the shot level sounds like such an easy concept but fixing tilted horizons can add a lot of unneeded time to your editing. It can also crop out some vital parts of the photo once you do adjust it. So make sure your horizons are level.

In reply to Danee Gilmartin. It's probably the tool I see most people using when it comes to general travel photos online. A dash can help many pictures, it's true :)
