If you enjoy posts like this, please support my work and support independent photography tutorials like this.

My video tutorials are typically crisp and to the point. In a tutorial video, I want to deliver a how-to explanation in the most direct way possible. I aim to be “economical” with time. However, my photo editing sessions are a lot slower in practice. Why? I take breaks from the image in between adjustments. I find the pauses let me return to an image with fresher eyes…. and then I can see what the next change the photo needs.
