problems with systems like this is people who uh don't have a lot of experiencing editing photos often aren't the best judge of what looks good to them and that may sound ridiculous like of course everyone knows what looks good to them it's their opinion in the moment when you're editing you will stop when it looks good to you but then a year from now when you look back at the picture you may find yourself saying why does this picture look weird why

Well, it looked good to you when you were using that control at the time you did it. But now looking back, it actually looks kind of odd. It does help to have some understanding of what you're doing to know what goals that you want to get to. It's kind of like, you know, going to the TV store as we talked about before and saying that TV looks amazing.

Yeah, because it's on vivid mode where every color is oversaturated and it's the brightness is cranked up and it looks very striking. But that's not how you want your TV to look.

experience editing photos will help you avoid sort of the vivid the vivid valley i guess of like oh no i move my thumb on this control until it looked good to me but i didn't realize that i'm making all my pictures look like samsung photographs or everything old old style samsung photographs everything's all blown out and every color is oversaturated and everything is too contrasty or whatever

Anyway, you do you. But the beauty of the photographic stylus is if you find out you've made a terrible mistake and your taste in thumb placement on that four-way controller bad, you can always go change it later. And you can even just turn it off and go back to one of the preset modes.

Only a little bit. I need more time with it. So I have played with it. And I decided even before I got this phone that my plan was I'm going to change my default photographic style because I know it's non-destructive. And if I end up not liking it, like the default one that comes to is like called standard, right? That's just like, hey, it's going to look like iPhone pictures.

This year's iPhone pictures with this OS and this hardware standard, right? And that's what all my previous pictures have been like, obviously. And I mostly like them, but I know what iPhone pictures look like, the processing they do or whatever, and it's not exactly to my taste. I decided that my default photographic style is going to be natural.

What is the difference between standard and natural? I think they don't overboost the saturation as much. Maybe there's less sharpening. All I know is that it looks closer to how I think I want them to look. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'll take a year's worth of pictures in natural and I'll look back at them and I'll say, you know what? I wish these were all in standard. Well, guess what?

I can go change them back to standard if I feel that way. But I don't plan on using that big four-way control because I like to edit it in photos, which is maybe one step up from the four-way control. It's not all the way to Lightroom, but I'm familiar with the controls in photos, and I know how to tweak them to look the way I currently like them to look, although that changes over the years.

See our photos episode that we talked about this. But I'm going to go with natural. I'm going to go with natural as my default, and I'm never going to touch it, and I'm going to see how I like it.
