Photo Editing - March

During the month of March we're going to look at photo editing. Editing pictures is a huge category that could take far more than a month to cover given the short, blog format. In order to be effective at using visuals as you communicate, you don't need to be an expert at editing images, but you do need to know some basics.

I'm thinking of a weekly category something like:
Week 1 - Basic retouching (crop, brightness and contrast)
Wee 2 - Basic editing (cut and paste, lighting effects, text effects)
Week 3 - Advanced editing (merging pictures, full transformation stuff)
Week 4 - Special tools (photo mosaic, panoramas, etc.)

To help me get my bearings and provide the best content this month, I'd love to know what questions you have about editing photos.
