STOP Doing this in Lightroom | What is excessive processing?

[@kathynassa9974]

I’d rather have a little noise and keep the detail than have it over edited and plastic looking. Ty for the video!

Yeah, I figure if I can help a few people in this area, it could be a big game changer for them. We have our own struggles in modern photography and one is overprocessing.

I understand what you're saying and agree. I am guilty of it myself when I first started processing my images. However, I liked what I produced in the end. I do not sell or post my images at all. It is just a hobby for me. I have learned more about processing techniques over the years to improve my skills by watching videos like yours. To sum this up, the photos are the photographers. They are free to process them the way they feel best. Your advice is is great and I agree. However, others my not take it as serious as most of us. Keep up the good work.

Wish you could have given a solution eg. What method to use to get a better photo without the noise.

[@MatthewCuda]

@@Chulagial that’s an entirely different video and not a one or two sentence answer.

[@naim7859]

So your advice is stop over processing, but what are the solutions then ?

[@MatthewCuda]

Overprocessing is simply adding to much of any slider to your image which eventually causes the pixels to "break", thus introducing artifacts or in the case of this video too much smoothing on the image. Bring back your sliders to get the right look.
