Do's and don'ts of photo editing: 

1 Do find software that works for you.

2. No doll faces - Don't edit out every little blemish. By the time you're finished editing the subject's face looks like a doll that is easily recognizable.

3. Do go easy on the filters - A lot of filters can ruin a photo. Find something that boosts the highlights and dark without going overboard.

4. Do step away and come back - Edit your photo then take some time to leave the photo and see how you like it in some time.
