While Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular imaging software packages around, it comes with a price! Here is a compilation of five ways you can generate money using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements, as a business endeavor, for some extra money, or just to regain your investment.
1. Provide a Photo Restoration Service. Almost everyone has at least a few photos that have become damaged or have just not stood the test of time as well as others. Using Photoshop features like the Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush and the Patch tools, these photos can be made picture perfect again.
2. Become a Photograph Doctor. No matter the ailment, from "red eye", "pet eye", poor exposure, or "finger over the lens syndrome" Photoshop can make over a ruined image into a faultless one. Photoshop can also change a color photograph over to look like a black and white one, or color tint a black and white one to make it color. There will always be plenty of "sick patients" to make better.
3. Design Greetings Cards. Making custom greeting cards is easier than ever with the photo enhancement and graphic design abilities of Photoshop. Enhance photos, transform them into drawings or paintings, blend photos for funny cards to name just a few of the endless possibilities. Holidays, events and other special occasions are all taken care of, even the card to say hello is covered. Card blanks and their envelopes can be found through specialist suppliers locally or online.
4. Design T-shirts. Photoshop can make that idea for a great t-shirt a reality. You can purchase transfers from stationery shops or craft stores and plain cotton t-shirts can be found through low cost suppliers.
5) Web Design - This is a skill always in high demand. From designing full websites, to a few buttons or banners, you can capitalize on this need. Charge for web site personalization, or design generic templates that can be bought and downloaded for customers to customize themselves.
You may need to consider the need for extra equipment such as a color printer, scanner and digital camera. This can be found inexpensively on eBay or other websites or on sale at local stores. Also include a DVD of royalty free images into your supplies, making sure to check the terms and conditions for their permission to use these images to create income.
Getting the word out is better than any written advertisement. Ask friends, family, co-workers and other contacts if they or anyone else they know are in need of your services. You can even provide a portfolio review for retailers and offer them commissions on any work they send your direction.
