BPP 188: Is Editing Your Photos Cheating

February 25, 2020 Raymond Hatfield

Is editing cheating?

It is a question that’s been asked for a long time by new photographers. Having your skills be at a level to be able to get your photos right in-camera is something many photographers strive for and in a world where we slap an instagram filter on everything before posting it, the legitimacy of editing is often questioned. But is it cheating? A recent study said that wedding photographers spend 55% of their time editing and just 4% of their time shooting. There is a huge gap there.

The key is to be more efficient with Lightroom. If even professional photographers can get this wrong and spend 12x more time editing than shooting there is a clear gap that you can take advantage of to be able to edit with speed and organization. It all comes down to mastering the fundamentals.

That is why I have created Lightroom 101.

From Import to Export create a powerful photo editing workflow to spend less time wondering what sliders do what and spend more time shooting what you love!
