Too Pro for Your Own Good

If you're an amateur with a good digital camera and a love of Photoshop, beware: Snap Judgements.

"One of the benefits of digital photography - the fact that amateurs can take better-looking photos and doctor them using photo-editing software - is also becoming a bane. Photofinishing labs increasingly are refusing to print professional-looking photographs taken by amateurs.

The reason: Photofinishers are afraid of infringing on professional photographers' copyrights."
