6 things you SHOULD be doing when EDITING PHOTOS // This is a list of 6 things you should be considering when editing photos. You don't need to do all of these every time, but they are definitely things you should think about. I walk through Lightroom and Photoshop to show some techniques and edits.

*I know the audio is EQed badly. This is something I have fixed on my newer videos. Feel free to tell me again if you want to.*

"Take a break" is the best advice. So true!

0:41 consider cropping your image
3:03 use white balance to make your shot feel right
5:07 selectively lighten and darken aka dodge and burn
6:44 edit in 16-bit
9:26 level and straighten your image
11:05 take a break

I love how in a concise 30 second intro the creative flow of your transitions puts most Cinematic Vloggers to shame, AND you just get on with the actually content of the video.
Thank you and thanks for the tips.

These must take an age to write and produce - I really appreciate all the effort you go to. Amazing.

Another tip, that could be added to your last, is to mirror the image. This allows you to see the picture again "for the first time" and spot any inconsistencies you didn't spot before.

Great content, keep up the good work! 😁

"The content of your image is more important than the technical quality of it". Perfect, and doesn't only relate to cropping.

I can only imagine how much planning went into putting these cool camera transitions together not only during editing but also the whole process of coming up with the concept.

Your 13 minute video is more informative than what others wold probably charge hundreds of pounds to teach us. And definitely saved me many hours of just googling for informations as such. I appreciate the time you took to help us. Many thanks!!

Watching this, made me wish that I was in a photography class in college and that you were my professor. The passion in the video is awesome, I think your students would learn a lot because they wouldn’t be bored

[crashalot]

What I really like with you Jamie, is that you are actually talking to "me" - you share your great knowledge with such ease and you really take your time to explain this to even a non-photographer like me. Thanks a million Jamie!

[PremiereGal]

Sweet editing and in camera transitions, Jamie!

[kaushik]

The last tip was the most important tip... Sometimes I end up over-editing my images only to regret months later...

[jordansnow]

The information you possess is so invaluable! I’ve recently graduated from uni and your videos have taught me more than what I’ve learnt from the whole 3 years at uni!

[rafaelguasco]

That 8bit/16bit tip! thank you so much! 🤟🏻

[Vexies]

The thing I have the hardest time doing is I end up editing EVERY image I took in a shoot lol. I just ended up liking so many of them that I get sad and exhausted trying to make them ALL nice

[cziasai]

Jamie, I am a complete amateur with an interest. What your videos help with is understanding your mindset about shooting and editing to achieve something great. Many thanks!

[HAMISHMCC]

One of my favourite, honest, down to earth photography teacher. Always admire the high level of editing in your work whilst maintaining minimalism in work and message. Thanks again!

[ookiemand]

Great video, 1 tip from me:- ask yourself "what is this photo about?" Then start working towards bringing that out.

[AkshayJoshiFilms]

The 16 bit editing tip was awesome. Thank you so much!
