Editing Using Photoshop; The Pros and Cons

As we are lucky enough to have a photography student in our group, as he wants to edit some of our footage to make the colours seem brighter or more vintage he decided to test out the editing techniques on a small part of footage.

Pros;
Connor is very comfortable about the photoshop techniques and software, so he is able to edit pictures easily. he can easily change the colour and contrast of images.

When editing a clip in photoshop he took a screen grab of what he was doing, which is shown below; 

Cons;

When the clip had been exported and put into photoshop it became recognisable that the picture was pixilated, we hope it will increase when we put it back in final cut express. However if we export the whole footage into photoshop it will be even worse, so we would have to do it in small chunks which may prove to be time consuming and we may not be able to edit all the clips.
