"We don't edit for perfection. We edit for connection." Love that! And fully agree: Great technique is nothing without a vision about the message you want to convey with your image. I forget that sometimes when I'm looking for a technical solution to a non-technical problem, being my lack of vision and direction before I start editing.
Hi Pascal, thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm glad that specific sentence resonated with you. I truly believe photography is all about connection. If you can embrace it, it has the power to shift your perspective, lifting any visual or emotional blinders that might limit our perception and vision 🙂
Nice video! Something I have noticed the more I create is that it doesn't matter how good I'm at editing in terms of technique. After a certain point you don't ask yourself how do I achieve a certain look but rather what look do I wanna achieve. Another thing. Whenever I take a photo I sometimes know immediately how I'm gonna edit it, how it's gonna look. Looking at the scene with my eyes I can already imagine what color adjustments I will make on my computer. Other times when I'm not so sure, I can rediscover the photo when editing. I can see it from an independent point of view, free of the emotion at the time of capture. I can try something which I have not envisioned at first. And I try not to limit myself to edit in one way or the other. I go with whatever I feel like. I sometimes wonder about when I'm shooting if I'm thinking too much about the final product, how the image is gonna look, opposed to capturing the moment and feeling what's happening around me. It depends on what I'm shooting but whenever there is a human element I want to be more of an observer. I want to capture what is happening and the emotion rather than trying to skew it so it can fit my narrative and how I envision it to be beautiful. I'm not sure if what I said is making much sense but just something to think about. After all as long as I'm taking photos I'm gonna keep figuring it out.
Thank you so much for the comment and for sharing your thoughts, Caesar. I truly appreciate it. You've made a great point, particularly about not overthinking the shot, and I completely agree. These are the kinds of comments I really enjoy reading! 😃
Great stuff - great photographs as well. Seeing the different variants of the mountainridge was very impressing. So thank you ever so much for this one, Andrea!
Thanks, Andrea, for this great presentation highlighting so well how to achieve different approaches, emotion or feeling in the editing process to achieve what the photographer wants to convey. As you say, there is no right or wrong.
Hello Andrea Another great informative video. I've seen this feature so many times but rarely used it. Especially not as shown in this video. In any case, we don't think enough about the feelings that a picture can or should trigger when looking at it. With regards Eric
The aspect ratio just makes the same photograph feel different. It plays a vital role. We have to decide the aspect ratio based on where the photograph finally ends up.
Hi Andrea: I thoroughly enjoyed this powerful video. I will often make several variants of the RAW image in C1. One other aspect of my photo-editing is the type of music that I am listening to while I am editing. I have found it makes a profound difference. Keep well. Cheers, Keith (Canada)
Hi Keith, thanks a lot for your comment, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. I completely agree with you; background music can really help steer photo editing in a specific direction 😃 Ciao
Great idea about using variants. I bought a copy of Capture One a few years ago when I had a Fuji but went back to Adobe when I went back to Sony. Some of your recent videos using C1, particularly the one about AI masking, have encouraged me to get the latest version and learn how to use it properly. Steep learning curve but very satisfying to use. Enjoying your videos.
Thanks so much, John. Appreciated! I'm really glad you found my last two videos useful. It's often those simple functions that make a big difference in how we approach editing, right? 🙂

Thanks so much for the comment, Erich! I'm really glad you found the video useful 🙂
Great video!! Love hearing about the “why’s” and not so much the “how’s” of processing. Great thought processes here. 😊
Thanks a lot, Barbara. Totally agree with you! The 'why's' are definitely more fascinating than the 'how's' 😃
The aspect ratio just makes the same photograph feel different. It plays a vital role. We have to decide the aspect ratio based on where the photograph finally ends up.
Totally agree! Thanks so much for the comment, Aljo. Appreciated 🙂
