The clock analogy is a little odd, but the idea that nailing an edit is as much a "feel" as it is an art/science is spot on. Great video, the examples are perfect!

Todd, can't help but feel like 7:00 "desaturated" image is just objectively better and easier on eyes, not every image should feel like it was made to be an example image for OLED TV in an electronics store.

This is great in how you were able to show us samples and articulate the specific tools and functions which were over- or under-utilized in them. I recognize myself as someone who is guilty of some of these types of mistakes, and I commend your courage in sharing them. Very helpful!

You have shown that you have to be honest with yourself when editing. Many times we try to emulate other photographers and not use our own creativeness. Your insights and views are spot on. Thank you for another quality video.

Thanks Todd, excellent video. What helps me is printing the image, use the "compare slider" / "virtual copy" to check the original. And leaving some time between edits instead of editing everything in one setting (I am an amateur so I can take all the time I want to edit etc..) And "sometimes" 16:35 a photograph is amazing out of camera 😉

Hi Todd: I really enjoyed this video and I must commend you on bearing your sole through the images that you have shared. If there is any comfort, we have all been there at one point-in-time, or we are currently. I also enjoyed hearing and seeing your thought process behind your editing. The key learning from this video is to walk-away from your images for a while before you feel everything is done. Keep well. Cheers, Keith

That is the great example of that kind of videos, combining both theory and practice. Great! Would be interesting to see more videos about strategy of preparing for shooting and developing photographs as well. The video about "algorithm" for developing images in C1, published a couple years ago, was quite helpful, I suppose.

Excess clarity was my worst bad habit in the beginning. It wasn’t until last year that I discovered the virtues of negative clarity.

very good. video! When it comes to vignetting, a good way to know if you've gone too far is to look at a thumbnail of the image, if you went too far you'll see it right away. It also helps me to see if the composition works. Cheers from Catalonia!

Oh no! That overbaked mountainside -- I have done the same! I loved the wider crop of the mountainside, though. It looked majestic and I felt the tighter crop diminished the sense of vast beauty.

Thanks very much for these thoughtful insights. It’s so helpful hearing what other photographers think when editing. Recently I have started to try making one or two virtual copies with slightly different edits to see what I prefer. Undoubtedly the best way is to ask others but certainly also to come back a day later when I always see a bit differently. I really enjoy your content!

Objective to seasoned pros but to the general creator and many consumers becomes subjective. Exactly the same in music production and other disciplines.

Good video! I think we have all been there sometime on our photographic journey 😅. At least I have. I see strong improvements after 53 years of being into photography. However, part of the fun is that you can always improve, no matter how good you are. There are many “traps” in the modern post processing apps and AI will just further add to it.

On the difficulty of drawing circles: "Pope Boniface VIII was looking for a new artist to work on the frescoes in St. Peter’s Basilica, so he sent a courtier out into the country to interview artists and collect samples of their work that he could judge. The courtier approached the painter Giotto and asked for a drawing to demonstrate his skill. Instead of a study of angels and saints, which the courtier expected, Giotto took a brush loaded with red paint and drew a perfect circle. The courtier was furious, thinking he had been made a fool of; nonetheless, he took the drawing back to Boniface. The Pope understood the significance of the red circle, and Giotto got the job."

It's interesting that you addressed the issue of under and over processing/development based on what you see on a monitor ( I know you calibrated yours) however I have realized that what I thought was a correct development on the monitor came out under developed (imo) when printed. I understand and know that print and monitor image are different and I'm wondering if you experienced the same thing and perhaps over processed the monitor image when you are going to make a print.

I wish I had your problem. I have the problem of missing things. I finish my image. I will even post it. Then I revisit it and see, a mistake or a way to make it better, or even say, I need to remove a distractions that I thought was a helper or the overall image edit is too dark or something I missed. I save my images so I can go back and tweek them, I make stamped layers to I can get back to places at major change points. I never feel like I am finished and go back and reedit. I find this annoying.

After watching this video, it seems to me you would benefit from applying more localised adjustments instead of making global adjustments everywhere.

Too many local adjustments! Yes, as exemplified by marketing photo examples of some luminosity panel developers and You Tube videos by their affiliates.
