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?

You don't seem to know what you are doing at all... You are mixing things up. Photo editing has nothing to do with MidJourney... What are you even trying to achieve? Why do you want to get 'into photo editing' at all?
