Photo-editing can be an arduous task especially if you are a beginner and have little idea of what to do and how to do it, even on a “straight-forward” photo-editing software like Lightroom
You can adjust all the sliders, configure all the colours till the crows roost home, but without some form of “purposeful editing”, you’ll end up second-guessing most of the thing.
You may or may not achieve the perfect picture, at least from your point of view, and when you do, you wouldn’t know how did you get there in the first place.
New York Times tech writer Ric Fairlie has just posted “Ten Photo-Editing Tips From a Pro“, tips which I find useful, especially in editing outdoor photographs. Read it and be done with all the second guessing.
