Photo editing is a major part of today’s photography workflow, so it pays to know how to be efficient about it. However, we all start from somewhere and it’s easy to make mistakes when you’re still learning the ropes. Today’s featured video by Roman Fox should be helpful for improving editing skills by learning about the mistakes they should avoid.
Among these are common mistakes like oversharpening, adding too much clarity, too much HDR, using histogram improperly, and color adjustment using too many different parameters. It’s easy to do these mistakes when you’re experimenting to create a look and feel for your photos. Even advanced photographers still catch themselves overcomplicating their editing process with a combination of these mistakes.
After explaining how overdoing editing tools and techniques ruin your photos, Fox demonstrates how he usually edits his photos. His goal is to come up with a final image that still looks natural, clean, and pleasant after all the edits.
