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 Overcome Being So Critical (alien.top)

I am a family photographer. I am slow at editing and do not rush. Often, I deliver a gallery and feel good about it, and then I see the photos on social media and I literally get sick to my stomach picking them apart. My last gallery I delivered, my client LOVED them and posted almost every photo on social media. She tagged me in all of them and spoke of how much she loved them. HOWEVER, I immediately saw so many flaws that I didn't see while editing, and then I'm sick to my stomach, tearing them apart. Will I ever get past this? What started as a creative outlet for me is now giving me anxiety. I don't want to give up, but I hate this feeling! 😫 Does this ever get better? Is this a very common thing?

I’m using imagen ai. You can get a link to Taylor Jackson that gives 1500 free edits. Helped me when I couldn’t figure out if I was editing my photos well. You can use it to sample and give you inspiration for looks on edits too if you want to do it by hand.

I have never heard of this!!!! I will look into it! Is it a completely separate program, or does it link to PS or LR?
