WHAT CAMERA SHOULD I BUY EDITING PHOTOS Part 6
This is where it really goes from the science of capturing a good image to bringing out the art of the photographer. Subsequently you’ll learn that, like all art, what makes a good photo is highly subjective
The bias I primarily view it from is what makes an image work well for the magazine, which is usually dictated by the equipment and settings a submitter uses when they press the shutter – and what state it is in! What I do and don’t like in a photo would take up a whole article itself, and be of absolutely no use to anyone, so let’s move on to discussing editing.
EDITING SOFTWARE
To edit photos you will need an editing program. A good one, not an app on your phone. Low quality apps or programs generally can’t export in high resolution and are quite a broad-strokes kind of editing. Lightroom is what I use for my own images, though if I’m just doing one photo or doing full-on image manipulation I’ll use Photoshop. These are both Adobe products and require a subscription. There are alternatives, but I’m so unfamiliar with them I had to look them up on the internet. It’s only serious competition seems to be Skylum Luminar, but as I use the whole adobe suite like Indesign, Premiere Pro and Illustrator for the magazine it just hasn’t made sense to explore these options. Aside from the editing these programs allow you to catalogue and organise your photos
