5 Ways You Can Make Money With Adobe Photoshop

While Adobe Photoshop is worth it, this popular program comes with quite a price! I've put together 5 ways that you can generate money through Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as a business venture, for extra spending money or even to repay yourself for the program.

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) Photograph Doctor - What could have been a ruined image can be made picture perfect with "red-eye," "pet eye," poor exposure and of course that finger over the lens being a thing of the past. Photoshop can also be used to transform a color photograph into black and white, or add tints of color into a black and white photo to make it color. There will always be "sick" photographs out there to be made better.

3. Design Greetings Cards. With the photo enhancement and graphic design qualities of Photoshop, designing greetings cards has never been easier. You can enhance photos, make them into drawings or paintings, combine photos for humorous cards, the possibilities are endless. Birthday cards, get well soon cards, condolence cards, Christmas cards or cards for other holidays like Mothers' Day, the list goes on and on. You can easily find card blanks and envelopes from specialist suppliers.

4. Design T-shirts. Ever seen something and thought "that would look great on a T-shirt"? Well, you're not the only one! With Photoshop you can make it a reality. You can get transfers from stationery shops, and plain, cotton T-shirts can be purchased from low cost suppliers and even some supermarkets.

5. Web Design. This skill is more sought after than ever. All types of people and businesses seek this ability no matter the depth of the project. Some might need an entire web site designed, others simply site optimization, but Photoshop can have these demands met easily. Take commissions from a custom project or even create generic templates for others to purchase and download from your site to customize themselves.

Of course, you may need to get some extra equipment -- like a colour printer, scanner, and digital camera -- but you can usually pick this type of equipment up inexpensively on eBay or other websites. A DVD of royalty free images is also a must -- although check the terms and conditions to make sure you're allowed to sell products derived from them.

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.
