One of the great advantages of digital photography is the ease with which the resulting photos can be manipulated and improved later using your computer and an image editing program. Of course, you can also do this by scanning film prints or slides, but dealing directly with digital images is faster, easier, and virtually free.

Underwater photos ( film or digital ) may suffer from the following problems:

  • lack of contrast
  • lack of sharpness
  • excessive darkness or light
  • loss of red tones / poor color balance
  • poor framing and composition
