- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Often my photos aren't as sharp as I think they should be, especially after seeing what everyone posts on here...lol.
I shoot RAW and convert with Canon's DPP. I don't do much sharpening in DPP, maybe 75% of the time I don't even touch the sharpening slider. I'm always worried about overdoing it, so I barely touch it so I know I'm not overdoing it - if that makes sense.
Is that what is making my pictures less sharp than I expect, or am I just expecting too much? Most of the time I don't see any reason why the pictures in question shouldn't be sharp - focus is good, shutter speed was fast enough to eliminate any movement, aperture is good (stopped down a little, but not too much), but it still isn't as sharp as what I see on here.
I admit that I'm pretty new when it comes to editing, so I'm sure there's a lot I'm missing. Is it just the editing that's causing this, or am I doing something wrong?
