Photo Editing

Is all about developing a work flow that works for you...it starts with the culling process...which I really struggled with last year.
I know I'm not the only guy that plays with camera gear....so...if you are a "photographer" who uses Lightroom would you care to share with me how you cull your images?

Well, for me first it’s about image crispness and sharpness. Ones that are slightly blurry get put aside first.

Second, it’s about light balance. Images with dark areas of poor ability to be brightened get put away next.

Lastly, it’s about exposure and color balance. Too much saturation of color and the resulting color noise get put away in the last cut.

Then I start working on what remains.

Only superior composition gets any retrieved from the first 3 cuts.
