learn to use Photoshop. If you do everything is possible despite what anyone else tells you.
If they don't agree then they don't know Photoshop well enough.

Try to take the best possible image in the camera so that you can use Photoshop for creative effects rather than fixing shooting problems. To that effect:
- Set the camera for highest resolution, finiest quality JPG or use RAW (advanced)
- Always use a tripod
- Use natural lighting, or fill flash
- Use the self-timer so that you don't shake the camera when taking the shot
- Set the camera for the correct effect, e.g. macro is often a flower symbol, so that close-ups of cartridges come out well
- Sometimes you can set a very long shutter opening, like 10 seconds, in the dark and then wave a torch around the object to get interesting lighting effects
Then use Photoshop to crop and get the image looking ideal.

I'm Shaun.
Here's a digital image I did on topic with careful use of light. It required very little skill at all because it is digital.
That's nice, Shaun, but then you've already shown us what a good photographer you are.
