This set of blog articles was very extensive. It also included a lot of information, so I've chosen the three major points I find most relevant.
1. I did not know there were so many different resources for editing photos on the internet. I've had problems with the limitations of iphoto and similar programs, but I'm not experienced enough to successfully use editing features of photoshop. I found pixlr especially easy to use. I didn't do much editing on my photos, but I think I would use pixlr in the feature for that purpose.
2. The article explaining light and exposure was very interesting. I still do not feel comfortable evaluating light conditions on my camera, and usually just set it to auto. However, it is good to understand how lighting works to your advantage or against it. At some point, I would like to improve the quality of my pictures, and light is an important influence on the quality of your pictures.
3. I really liked the article about incorporating props into your listing pictures. It is helpful to see how the artist would style a certain item. Props also allow you to add even more of your personal style or voice into your items. Props can tell a story just as powerfully as a strong description.
