Digital Image Post-Production offers many job opportunities. Become an expert with TECH and work in one of the creative professions with the brightest professional future"

Photo editing programs have also become increasingly accessible and easy to use, allowing anyone to edit photos. However, due to the complexity of using this type of software, success in obtaining images of high visual and artistic quality is not always guaranteed: specialization is necessary to achieve excellence. Even more so given the growing demand for this type of professional within communication companies in sectors such as journalism, marketing and advertising.

Post-production is, by its very nature, a very powerful tool that must be treated with a high degree of professionalism. It is nothing more than a tool intended to emphasize the positive characteristics of photographs, but precisely for that reason, it should be used conscientiously.

Modifying an image implies modifying the information and, subsequently, the truth. In communication fields such as journalism, an excessive or improper alteration of an image carries with it ethical consequences that may be detrimental to the media profession or to the journalist himself. 

In other disciplines, such as marketing or advertising, the creativity of the specialist can be unleashed to a greater degree, as the very nature of the message requires large doses of originality. Let's remember that the Internet is characterized by an abundance of content that overwhelms the Internet user in a constant struggle for his attention. It will be the mission of the Postgraduate diploma in Digital Image Post-Production to captivate users.
