But if you see the thumbnails together, you'll be like, oh, all these pictures look like someone peed on them. They're all yellow because they're indoor. Maybe when you're looking at them in isolation, you might not notice. And maybe you even want to keep them that way, but be aware that's a thing, right? So those are the places I would start. What's too bright? What's too dark?

What looks like someone peed on it? That's a good starting point. The other thing that I will add to this discussion is part of the process of finding, you know, the 10% or whatever pictures that you like and trying to edit them. Is that you'll look at them and you're like, oh, this is such a great picture or whatever. And you'll try to do some edit to get it to look the way you want.

And that process of editing will teach you how to take better pictures. Because you'll be like, oh, this picture would be so good, but I cut off this person's head. Or there's some obnoxious person in the background that I can't AI erase. Ruin this picture for me. If only I had taken it from a different angle. Or...

I didn't realize that the entire background where someone's garbage can is would be in focus in this picture, and it would be such a good picture if that stupid garbage can wasn't in focus, right? The act of editing, the act of trying to rescue these pictures like, this is almost a good picture. What can I do to fix it? Can I crop this?

Oh, I wish I'd taken... I wish I'd stepped back two feet because I'm missing something here. It looks like a light pole's coming out of this person's head. The process of editing...

will teach you what to do next time to capture a better picture and i know you're asking about editing and marco touched on this as well but in the end editing it's too late you can only do so much with editing you want to capture good pictures that is this most important skill of photography is

knowing when and where to point your camera that is the most important skill and i know you're asking about editing but the process of editing the process of trying to take a picture that you think is almost good and make it better and realizing what you can't do in editing even with ai you can't get you can't reframe it you can't point in a different direction you can't decide to use the flash or not use the flash every time you encounter that in editing

That will teach you the next time you're out there with your camera what you want to do differently So that I feel like for me is one of the most important Parts of editing is not the process of taking a picture trying to make it better It's the process of learning what you did wrong when you were capturing the photo that you will avoid next time So the next time when you go to editing your job will be so much easier You won't have to crop as much you won't have to lose as much resolution.

The lighting will be better. You won't

The lighting will be better. You won't

accidentally put the garbage can in the background and focus the light pole won't be coming out of the person's head that i think is one of the most important uh benefits of doing editing and it might it feels disheartening because you're like i'm doing all this editing and all i'm learning is that i can't make these pictures good it's nothing that my editing skills aren't good enough and honestly even if you get it to a pro sometimes you're like there's no rescuing this one it was framed poorly it wasn't exposed correctly you cannot make this a good picture
