In this age, photographers do not need to know how to edit and post-process their photos. Because of mirrorless cameras, Fujifilm color science, and the power of AI editing from software like Skylum Luminar Neo, it's no longer a requirement to spend years learning how to edit photos. We have amazing cameras like the X100V that inspire us to get out and shoot, so let's commit to spending less time editing and more time out creating with our cameras!

Agree or disagree: in order to be a skilled photographer, one must know how to edit and post process their own photos? 🧐
Yeah, I would say so. I don’t think it’s mandatory since we’ve seen people take jpeg only, such as yourself, needing no edits. But it is definitely an advantage to have to be able to edit your photos.
The photographer must have a clear idea of what he is capturing and what its supposed to convey with it, editing is an important process that allows obtaining and emphasizing the initial intention of the artist, we need both in order to comunicate better through our photos, other wise its just a simplistic approach in my opinion.
Does art inherently have to be complicated? I personally have a simplified and clear approach to how I create.
@Reggie Ballesteros no it doesn't, to me art have to be effective in what the artist want to communicate or resonate, the approach and its complexity its define by him, but in some cases, a deep approach leads to better results, because it provides more understanding and control over the tools.
Of course, art its very subjective, so my opinion its not written in stone. I love the quality of your work, keep going man 👍.
Depends from person to person. It is not my thing to sit and edit each photo. Exposure, colors, composition is good. I am happy. I enjoy my photography walks the most. Observe, capture cool things.
100%.
Hey Reggie, thank you for the great video. Did you manage to import Fujifilm DCP camera profiles into Luminar Neo?
I think a main take away from this video is that knowledge around photography is all encompassing. You’re essentially practicing the same skills when your shooting vs. editing, just applying them in different ways and different times in the photo making process. So, if you can get down your exposure and your highlights and shadows and what not in the shooting process, there isn’t much of a need for editing.
I’ve been wanting to get off my computer and Lightroom for a while by experimenting creating my own film simulations and just focusing on shooting. I’m having a lot of fun.
To some degree, but there’s also a reliance on editing vs pro activity in the field.
@@Reggiebphoto true!
One of my peeves is having other people edit my photos, say a magazine photo editor, advertiser, marketing intern, etc. So with that, I always edit my images in a way that works with the publication, advert, etc., and I indicate that I've done so to HOPEFULLY keep other people from touching the files. Way too many times have I seen my images run with absurd edits to them. Regardless, it should be up to the photographer if edits need to happen. And if one has the ability to edit, all the more power to them. I can't imagine my photography career existing without the ability to edit in any way needed. Thanks for the vid, Reggie.
There was also a time when no one could preview photos in real time. Which required editing to be a required practice
Love this! I think sometimes I get turned off from shooting because Lightroom can be a lot sometimes but I’m going to give this a try.
I hear ya!
Thanks Reggie, I have the Luminar Neo already as it seemed like a great tool for removing some of the barriers to editing that you are talking about and it seems like jpegs are much more forgiving than many people say.
I'm yet to find a no hurdle process for importing, sorting and getting my photos ready to share with the least effort. I find that they keep piling up in the camera for a long time as I can't stand the process.
Unrelated question, do you find the built-in flash useful on your X100V?
Have a great Thanksgiving!
I tend to use the Fujifilm app and edit in my camera roll for seamless sharing. The JPEGs are so robust that you don’t need anything advanced. Serious photography happens in the field not in the editor.
Fujfiilm jpgs has already made me a lazy editor.. the colours coming out of it are too good lol
It’s made me just skip it altogether aside from a quick adjustment in photos app of my iPhone lol
For the first time, I do not agree with you; in the past, when photography was only realised with film camera, the development process in the dark room was the 50% most important moment in the picture creation process.
At that time, a photographer created an image using the techniques learned so that the result reflected his style: for me, you can recognise a photo of Ansel Adams from one from Robert Mapplethorpe by one of Helmut Newton not only for the subject in the picture but also by the development and printing process.
Obviously, it's only my opinion 😉
Fun fact: renowned documentary film photographer Henri Cartier Bresson and precursor to modern street photography did not care for post-processing at all.
He was quoted saying “Actually, I'm not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I'm not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren't cooks.”
- Henri Cartier Bresson
Art has different approaches. And I was very prepared for someone to comment about Ansel Adams haha.
@@Reggiebphoto Adams was my first choice, but I didn't know other landscape photographer talented as him to make a difference 😅
Here in Italy we have a photographer named "Gianni Berengo Gardin" defined from Henry Cartie Bresson «(one of) the most talented photographer in the world»; Berengo Gardin is a film photographer and in the past he refused to publish one of his book because the printer made a mess with the printing process and all the images did not reflect his style. All the copies of the first edition were burned before published.
Is a different approach, but I think that SOME photographers do not need to know how to edit, others are famous photographers BECAUSE of their edit style.
(Sorry if my English is not so correct 😅)
@@davidedinoi3468agreed. Requirement? No. Personal preference? 100%. I hate this “real photographers must edit” talk. It’s not welcoming and I hate gatekeepers
Hey brother awesome video! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks! You too!
Great video 👌 if your a street photographer then I believe the image must be left untouched but if your taking photos of events and weddings then you’ve got to edit in order to meet the clients preferences of taste but it’s all upto your own style
Totally. Even in my wedding work tho, the edit is not anything but more of a color grade. The real work is getting it right in cam. And with mirrorless it’s that much easier
I used to do graphic design and spent a ton of time on the computer and before that did my share of long hours in the darkroom. That’s why I shoot fuji, files are great to start with and only minor tweaks. The main thing is as long as you know what you like use what ever software works and get back to shooting quicker. I only give myself max 2 min on an image …usually a lot less…..quite frankly all that extra time people spent on an image really doesn’t make much difference to the viewer. It’s the shot that counts.
I had luminar neo... everyone can pretend they are missing important and basic features... i started my Adobe subscription back up just because luminar neo was that bad.
I like what you did to these photos but you could have easily achieved exactly the same look (and in the same time) in Lightroom without jumping over to Luminar. From my own experience with previous versions of Luminar these AI sliders are mostly good for adding a lot of contrast/saturation/HDR-look to your photos.
You definitely could!
I’ve got to say that for the small amount of difference I probably wouldn’t bother editing at all. That’s even easier!
I must say that I’m looking for something to help with the occasional tweak as I’m starting to move away from shooting raw. I’d love to move away from Lightroom too
That’s pretty much my point. No one needs to know editing if your skills are there, you have jpeg film sims to lean on. It’s pretty much not needed at all because we’re self editing in the field while taking the photos. This habit of shooting for the edit is becoming obsolete.
You had me until the “all wrong part” bro. Laminar is still a buggy mess. I contacted them over it. But nope.
I feel its maybe a sign of your generation to want to do things the easy way. In sake of learning that is. Personally I feel it takes a lot of time to be a professional and proficient at that. Always has been. Always will be.
However for the sake of speed. And time is money. You are right. Tho why do you need to create friction for extra clicks? Thats just balls man.
I'm not creating friction for the sake of clicks. I'm tired of gatekeeping that editing is a requirement to be a photographer. As someone on the other side, I don't think the facade of post-processing, raws, and keeping it all a secret unneeded.
@@Reggiebphoto you have a point in that photographers do that. Same with keeping locations a secret. Me I don’t. Every photographers style is their own.
Let’s go. I’m excited about this. Video.
🤘🏽
The phrase "fix it in post" always makes me think of someone unable or unwilling to "get it right in camera". BUT I learned on film cameras, using slide more than negative film...believe me slide film is more demanding and less forgiving (and more fun). So that carries over into digital, thus I still prefer making the effort to get it right in camera....to me that is just more fun.
That said, my spouse is happy spending hours on photoshop or lightroom adjusting photo results.
Who is right? Both...we each approach the art of photography in our own way. All I ask is that folk not become hard core zealots demanding everyone else conform to their preferred method of reaching the endpoint of their finished photo. We should rejoice in our differences.
100%. I agree with you totally. Embrace we all have unique approaches. I'm tired of this "real photographers blah blah" "professionals do blah blah". Just embrace that individual is happy. And let's stop making these false requirements for someone's unique journey.
Any serious photographer should learn how to edit their own photos. This was a bad way to promote a sponsor 😅
Thanks for the engagement 🤘🏽
Exactly. Typical negativity is ploy for clicks. I would not be able to see myself seriously after that.
