Photo Editing MISTAKES that Pros AVOID (But BEGINNERS often Make!)

Just started to watch this video and am looking forward to it. I thought I'd comment before moving on because editing cam be a really frustrating process. I was a satisfied C1 Express user as an amateur until they pulled it out from under us. My family bought Capture One for my birthday and now I'm trying to learn to use it. Sooooo....here we go!! Thanks for sharing your editing tips!! Have a great day!

Some great tips. Thank you 😊
Also, I really like the coastal image with the Sea thrift in the foreground.

Great video

Great tips. Over raising shadows is definitely one I am guilty of. Another annoying habit is to re edit a pic every time I look at it.

I have been getting into photography recently and I’ve really just loved all your content! I have been binge watching all of your videos because I feel like you explain things very clearly😁

Thanks Ian👍

I always enjoy watching your videos. Your approach to teaching is excellent, easy to understand and apply. Hats off to you Ian!

Some good stuff in this that I instantly recognised (shadows etc). But sometimes getting it “wrong” leads to pleasing results. Thanks for the tips

Usually don't comment on videos but your tip #2 was absolutely brilliant! It was something that I have never heard before. Thanks Ian

Great editing reminders with great examples. Thanks Ian.

Great video! I always watch your videos, very informative! I'm guilty of some of those, especially about the shadows! Loved your images, thanks!

It's always good to review editing basics through different eyes and with practical examples. Thanks!

Great video and advice as always Ian. One area that always frustrates me is when people fail to adjust horizons correctly. Can really spoil an otherwise fantastic shot!

Useful tips, delivered in chilled and pleasant manner.

Great tips! 👏🏻

Definetly agree with these tips, especially colour, ive been back to an image and thought "what have I done" haha. Ive also stood on that precarious rock in Torridon Ian and shot that waterfall infront of Beinn Align not for the faint hearted so well done for that

Very helpful thanks.

Sound advice.

Great information! I’d love to know the settings you use to export your various sizes of image??? Thanks for taking me along!

I can so identify with most of these points....! Good work as always Ian.

Thanks for sharing.

Great video and explanations Ian, thank you. 👍

Great content as usual. Now that I’m retired I moved from my D7000 and RAW then editing. I don’t like the editing process because I have less confidence doing that than setting up the shot 🤓. Recently I purchased Fujifilm X-T5 and the new kit 16-50mm lens and love the SOOC culture with JPEG and film sims. Having a ball shooting and very little editing (I do shoot JPEG + RAW just in case, admittedly).

Nice tips, thanks for sharing. One of the best is no7, don't rush the editing, take a bit of time and more than one view/attempt to finish a picture.

Great tips Ian, especially 6 & 7. With regards to exporting from lightroom in high res - what do you export as in the settings? do you export as jpeg? Is this what you use for printing in the future if needed. Every time I watch your videos from the office I am impressed with the set up tidiness of the work area. Any plans for an office tour as I am looking for ideas for my newly taken over spare room? thanks Guy

Great video and something I'm guilty of 😅

Hi Ian, a great video, mate 😉

Great content! Thanks!!!!!
