Adobe Photoshop is one of the most popular imaging software packages around, but it's expensive! Here are five ways you can earn money using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements -- either as a business enterprise, for some extra money, or just to recoup your investment.


1) Photo Restoration Service - Everyone has a collection of those old family photographs that have taken a beating at the hands of time. Old or damaged photos can be made new again using the Healing Brush, Spot Healing Brush and Patch tools.


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 - Designing greeting cards is a breeze with the photo enhancement and graphic design features in Photoshop. Enhance photos, combine photos with cut and paste for a fun and amusing card, transform photos into drawings or paintings for a masterpiece the choices never end. No matter the need from holidays to special events you can create the card for the occasion. Card blanks and envelopes are available 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 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.


Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising, so ask friends, relatives, work colleagues, and other acquaintances if they need (or know anyone who needs) your products or services. You could also approach retailers with a portfolio of your work, and offer them commissions on any work they send your way.
