1. Hue/Saturation.
Many people don't realize the difference a little fine tuning can do to their photos! Just by going and adjusting ones hue and saturation one can add color in low color areas, brighten up a photo or bring a little bit more complexion to ones cheeks.

2. Cropping.
Another commonly used feature is cropping. As I pointed out to my uncle in the store last night, sometimes its better to have a little bit of a smaller frame to your photo rather than a larger or even properly sized one. The reason for this is, it allows us to focus in on certain aspects of the photo and cause them to be the center of attention.
