BAD PHOTO EDITING HABITS

Updated: Apr 27, 2022

There's editing and then there's over-editing when it comes to post-production. Because Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom are such powerful picture editing apps, there's a fine line between over-processed and just-right images.



Photo editing may be divided into three categories.

There's an over edit, a subtle edit, and a "please no filter" section. When it comes to editing images, photographers are often overly excited, leading with a slew of unnecessary adjustments.

They feel like it's OK at the moment, but it's actually "over edited," and here are the 5 indicators of overedited photos:


1- Unrealistic Highlights & Shadows : This causes extra noise and causes the image to appear flat.


2- Using Too Much Contrast : Contrast reigns supreme. It is quite significant. It has the power to create or break a photo.


3- Over-Sharpening & Clarity : the image had a gritty, rough, over-texturized aspect to it, which looked terrible.


4- Extreme Vignetting : This is something that a lot of newcomers struggle with. In the next article, I am going to share my 4 top street photographers and how they changed completely my vision to photography (Sneak Peak, Billy Dinh is one of them).
