A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident I would never have 'figured out' frequency separation retouching just by 'trying things out' in Photoshop regardless of how many millennia I put into it lol.

That's different. When you learn PS, you learn PS. Not How to edit pictures. you edit pictures the way you want.

But if someone goes on Youtube searches for a photography tutorial and copies it step by step, its not the same thing. They aren't learning photography, they're copying someone else's style.
