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.

How to learn photo editing? Where to start? (alien.top)

Hey everyone, I'm 28 years old and I want to get into picture editing. I'm trying to decide whether I should begin by learning MidJourney techniques for generating images or start with Adobe Photoshop. Here's what I think, and I'd appreciate your input on the best approach.

In my view, for beginners, starting with Photoshop might be a good choice because it's a comprehensive editing software. However, AI-generated images like MidJourney can provide results in just a minute that might take an hour in Photoshop. While editing generated images is important for better results, it's much easier to work with an almost finished project than starting from scratch in Photoshop.

So, my initial plan is to learn how to create effective prompts, understand the workings of MidJourney, grasp the parameters, pick up tips, and know what to avoid. What's your opinion on where I should begin?

Tools are just a way to get to the end point, it's you that matters the most.

Both PS or AI are just tools, you need the skill to use them.
