What's your editing technique for a normal photo?

I am currently using a mix of lightroom and photoshop.

Generally pretty good with photoshop (levels, curves, little corrections)

But I'd love to hear from people with alot of experience, especially with light room.

Also with sharpening, is there a best way to do this? I've looked around online a bit and there's nothing conclusive.

Also also, any random tips and tricks are welcome.

Poverty based on which standars?

I agree you can infer certain social/cultural conditions from the image, but referencing poverty means that you are projecting your view on wealth on both women.

assuming one is a tourist and the other is not, and assuming one is wealthy and the other is not, based on god knows which indicators you read somewhere online.

Also, Lightroom and PS

I usually only need to do light adjustments in lightroom.

-set your exposure
-contrast
-whitebalance

I shoot RAW so I bring up the vibrance.

For sharpening I try to get a sharp image before hand. Stopping down your aperture. But if i need to sharpen I turn up the amount, then bring up the detail. I find that bringing up the detail too much makes the image look a little grainy. Same thing for radius. Then i bring up luminance to finish off.

thats why you will always be a shit photographer with a mediocre output. if you cant see whats really going on in your surroundings, then you cant photograph anything meaningful, only accidentally, like OP did.

If this is what that picture communicates to you, then sell your camera asap and find another hobby: you just don't seem to have any vision/intelligence
>>
>>3010779
Oh okay then. Could you please explain what it really communicates and highlight all the facts that prove that your analysis
>>
overexpose
desaturate
reduce contrast
pull highlights towards mids
push shadows back down
FFFFFF -> F0F0F0

Only a little, but that's what I do if I do edit at all.

Helps to shoot with the settings you want rather than spend time editing in my opinion. Depends on what you are shooting and what kind of effect you want though. Just keep your ISO at whatever sweetspot and it should be fine unless you have something super specific in mind.

>>3010799
The girl on the left is white, relatively rich (hipster glasses + likely knows the camera's owner + takes vacations) and the photo's subject (she looks directly into the camera). The woman on the right is from South America (Ecuador?) and relatively poor (sells shawls on the street + can't leave her newborn son/daughter at home with her family or in a nursery). Can't you see the power relation between the two women? Does the photo communicate anything else to you? It does not matter what the actual intentions of the Western chick were, maybe she was volunteering in Ecuador to save poor kids, maybe she just happened to be there when the Ecuadorian woman was selling her stuff. What I see is slum tourism, the Western world trying to feel a bit less guilty about itself, etc.
>>
>>3010818
I obviously inverted the two women.

>What I see
And that's basically all your screed is. What YOU see. But all you've offered to back your viewpoint is bigotry based on pre-conceived ideas completely lacking in any kind of personal experience of such situations and brazenly rejecting any possibility that facts might prove you wrong ie:
>It does not matter what the actual intentions of the Western chick were

>chick

>>3010493
When you're adjusting the exposure those curves show up below the slider - what do they mean?

Also holy shit you edit quickly. When I see all the sliders in lightroom I feel the need to adjust all of them to see what they'll do
>>
Wtf are you talking about you trash, go give them that spiel in your members only jacet while they try to sell you a chal in the freezing weather just so she can buy her kid some shitty tortilla.
>>
>>3010610
>>3010544
You people don't know shit about what you're talking about and are trying to win an argument.
You literally ahve to be an aspie to not see the white girl nervously laughing at her friends instead of looking at the woman who is fitting her a chal like a shoe in a shoestore with her baby on her back.
what, do you think she's just gifting the chal because they're friends?
>>
>>3010699
those kids provide her with the kind of publicity you cant buy at a store.

For photos that I like or flag as a keep, this is generally the workflow:

-Into Lightroom
-Select camera profile (usually don't use the Adobe one for Leica)
-Decide if mono or color
-Exposure adjustments
-Whitr balance and global color adjustments
-Global curve adjustment (if needed)
-Input sharpening
-Adjust noise reduction (use NIK in special cases)
-Gradient or brush "regional" adjustments (if needed)

To Photoshop:
-Tidy up perspective (if needed)
-Cloning, eliminate distractions, any content edits, etc.
-B/W conversion happens here and in next few steps
-Contrast adjustments & luminosity masks (if needed)
-Color edits and adjustments
-Local contrast adjustments
-Save image

Back in LR:
-Prep for output (usually little tone tweaks and cropping)
-Export specific size for output

Back to Photoshop:
-Resize and multistep output sharpening

What's wrong with saying "chick"? English is not my first language, so please enlighten me anon.
Plus you did not explain what this photo means to you (since you argue it's not an example of poverty tourism).

>>3010921
Saturation / vibrancy all the way up.

Pretty much anything should be able to do this.
>>
>>3010922
thanks very much, what is your favorite free program if you dont mind me asking? Ive only used GIMP, which really isnt for photography. Also real film cameras would do better for this correct? I think the grain would be better than digital.
>>
>>3010926
This effect looks very digital to me, like an old cassette tape. I don't think you need film for this.

GIMP is fine, just use whatever.
>>
>>3010927
thank you!
>>
>>3010878
It's just another way of adjusting the slider.
You left click to grab the actual slider - simple.
You right click to activate the curve thingys - more accurate control - the further away from where the curves converge that you move the mouse the more accurate the movement.
I used to do this with keystrokes only, but that makes it impossible to see what you are doing when recording video... i think it also might not work in the *buntu 16 version of DT.. i forget.
Yeah it's quick. When editing this many photos it's really fucking tedious trying to snowflake each one, and you lose objectivity really fast... or it takes weeks to do them all - and that is not how i roll at all.
Either the photo needs a bit of editing, none, or it's usually trashed. Or as you would have seen in the start of the video; I categorize as 'meh' or 'del'. Del eventually all get deleted as the 3TB drive gets full, which also serves as warning that I need to get a new drive pair.

mocking hipsters is so 2013. we are in a sincerity phase now, that why we all shoot film. we embrace uncertainty and imperfection. you should try it too.

get an indigenous person that has worked all her life, from her early childhood and pair her with the whitest, most entitled, privileged piece of shit, good for nothing, professional tumblr reblogger.

It's a pretty quintessential obnoxious grin
>>

What are the first steps in editing? I mostly shoot film and am computer retarded. Where do I start (besides using lightroom/photoshop)?
To be more specific, what are the most important elements to edit in a photo? What should I target? What are "curves"?
