editing

For all the years I've been working on computers, I never owned a laptop. I've always just built my own PC with the specs I needed, it was significantly cheaper at the time and laptops just weren't as powerful but today this just isn't the case anymore. There are laptops out there that...

This old thing

those old trips...

Bowling, I remember those days.

I'm not a huge fan of adding lens blur to photos, I prefer to do it with a lens haha but I suppose in some cases it can work quite well if done properly. But I'll be honest, it feels wrong to me. However, I don't feel the need to use this feature on my main cameras but with my smartphone that...

Hello, I would say I am a few baby steps beyond beginner. I was offered to do our company headshots at my work and I accepted and it has been going really well. The pictures are coming out great and I am learning along the way. (I use a Canon EOS Rebel T7) I am struggling with quality after...

Since the majority of photo edit applications...Lightroom, Capture One, etc have the ability to use presets for a once click edit, do you use them? This is more for people who shoot RAW, but it can be applied to those who also use presets on jpegs as well. I am curious how the response will...

I know this isn't the best photo I've taken and I'm not looking for a serious critique because its overall, a snapshot. I was about the head out the door for something and I really liked the way my cat, Luke, was laying in front of the door with his paws out front and the expression he had. So...

Hi All, I recently started photography and got a DSLR. I have been following a lot of channel on YouTube and forums like this about photography and realized that taking photo is just the tip of Iceberg, and you HAVE TO KNOW EDITING to make it presentable. I have no grudge with editing and...

Shot with a Huawel P30 Pro Walking the near empty streets at what used to be one of the world's busiest airport, Changi Airport in Singapore, amid the global health pandemic outbreak. This is what Changi Airport Singapore looks like now. Through the lens of a smartphone, the airport's final...

Greetings everyone, I need your advice regarding what a 27 inch 4K monitor I should choose for ca 1000 USD. I'm planning to use it mostly for editing of photos/videos, so gaming is not considered at all. I think I won't go further than working in a sRGB, so first of all coverage of sRGB up to...

(If wrong section, please let me know) I need a professional tech to advise, design, set up, and calibrate a high-end Windows photo editing desktop for me. I have no idea how or where to look for such a person. Used to do such things for myself, but age and disabilities are making it...

Good morning from Southern Alabama! I have been editing my photos on a MAC book air for about a year now and have been pleased with quality, processing, and storage...but I still prefer a windows computer. I have been doing some heavy research on the Surface Pro (latest version) and cannot...

Hey, I'm looking at getting Either AI Clear or DeNoise, but I don't really know which one would be best for Wildlife/Astro? Does anyone have any experience or examples with either of these? I've watched the introduction videos for both and they both look super. Thanks

Hi guys, I'm editing this image with Photoshop CS 6. I'm an amateur but I'm happy with what I've managed so far. I selected the subject, then inverted the selection, and used the gaussian blur filter to remove all the graininess. Now there's this glare around the subject I wish to remove, to...

When I do edit, I have a list of things I fix and a list of things that I think are too far. Everybody has different limits - what's on your lists? Here are some things from mine - agree or disagree? Fix: Spot blemishes Skin color issues (grey under eyes / redness) Stray hairs Weird wrinkles...

Hello All! My business sells balloon bouquets. I would like to take pictures of individual balloons, then edit them together using Photoshop (or similar) into bouquets. The problem I'm having is foil balloons are highly reflective and when they are arranged into a bouquet on photoshop, it...

I edited the following image to my satisfaction in one notebook. As basically all images I edit, it's intended for the web so anyone can see it in any device that can browse the web and has a screen. I assumed the proper screen angle on my notebook when I worked on it, always unsure because all...

Good afternoon all and thank you very much for welcoming me into your community. I have just started out (2-3 months) with a Nikon D3300 purchased by my lovely wife as wedding present and I am thoroughly enjoying learning to take better pictures. I doubt it very much it will ever be a business...

hi everyone, Wanted to ask some feedback on the two version of this picture I took in Kyrgyzstan where I live. My favorite version is the second one, but would you see anything that should be changed in my post-processing? thank you!

hi everyone, in Lightroom, when you use the graduated filter, you can use that image overlay color that allows you to see where the effect is applied. Now, I could go to 'color' and add a color, then take it out. But I've heard there's another option to go back and forth to see with/without...

hi everyone, I'm working on some of my pictures (post-processing). And I'm struggling (getting lost with all the tools, not reaching a satisfying result...). I've posted some pictures on that forum and it's helpful. But would anyone be willing to discuss through the post-processing process...

hi, I have much to learn in post-processing (obviously?). Any advice on the here enclosed picture? (there is the initial version: too dark and not processed) and some attempts I've made on it with Lightroom 5.7.1. and Nik collection. Any advice? (One of the thing: there's this kind of halo in...

Hey all! I'm wondering how you feel about using editing trends in your work. I personally don't like some of the over-saturated "glowy" presets out there but I know a lot of clients see that style and just have to have it. How do you balance your personal style with some of the style trends...

Hey guys, I need help! I use Lightroom to batch edit photos. Im running a year old 5k Mac Desktop with a 1 tb hard drive and it's pretty much maxed out. I do however store all of my raw images and my Lightroom Catalog on my 4TB Seagate external hard drive because I shoot so much my computer...

Hi! I'm a newbie photographer. No background in photography. I only do self study, and so far I learned to balance ISO, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. I do get good photos (I think), and I learned from previous thread that I created, to appreciate the limits of my gear and use it to its full...

I recently noticed that when I export my files out of Lightroom, that the file size is much smaller than it used to be (1,500-3,500 kb now vs 6-9 mb previously). The quality is set to 100 and I haven't changed any of the LR settings for resizing. I just had a client contact me because she got...

I took a set of maternity photos at night and in the rain with a Canon 7d mark II. The first problem is I didn't save my pictures in raw files so the jpegs are all I have. Most of them are very dark and when I lighten them to a certain extent they get grainy. I've tried to then smooth them over...

Hey all, I'm a hobbyist photographer who got into the craft while I was at grad school. So, 7 years or so now I've been shooting mostly nature photography with a wedding or event or two thrown into the mix. I'm newly a stay-at-home mom, and I'm hoping to find some part time work as a photo...

Hello folks... So on a recent trip to Bryce Canyon silly me didn't properly clean my lens before my day out. As you can see from the picture there is a blemish that makes the photo look terrible. I didn't notice this until after my day out, checking the snaps later in the evening, so now I have...

I wanted to create a preset in Adobe Lightroom 5 for someone with Adobe Lightroom 4. Would the preset work pretty close to the same? Or would I need to do something to the preset file to make it compatible with Lightroom 4? Is it possible to change preset compatibility in Lightroom? Thank you...

Hey I was just wondering how I would go about achieving the effect in the photo below. I have access to photoshop and lightroom with the ON1 plugin, but I'm simply having difficulty finding any information or tutorials regarding how to combine photos, beyond for masking purposes. I likely could...

Hi guys, I'm a retoucher. :1219: I am used to doing company/agency full time onsite work; therefore, I'm used to the work already being decided and given to me for a set hourly rate. After doing some money saving, I have now left my full time retouching position and plan to become a full time...
