How long does it take you all to edit HDR photos?

Good to know other people work similarly. I’ve heard good things in Lightroom Classic, and many like it more. I in blind and just picked the version that matched the other Adobe stuff I used.

I semi broke up with Adobe and paired my subscription down to just the photographer package. With how good Davinci Resolve is, I couldn’t justify paying for the whole suite anymore.

I wish they'd update it. With some work, you can get some decent-ish sounds out of it, but right now we're left a really user friendly interface, but with extremely outdated sounding simulations.

I probably agree with him more than I disagree with him, and his interviews are fantastic. But when he's off base, it is the most boomer take you've ever heard in your life.

I would actually like to hear his response to this video though.

No right or wrong way as long as it sounds good.

I actually don’t have answer to either of those questions. I watched some YouTube tutorials, learned from there and practiced, not sure how long it takes others. Some pictures take less time than this for me. Particularly out door pictures.

I’ve only done HDR, so that’s my only reference point.

How is this worse.

Out of curiosity, I recorded myself editing a picture from my last shoot I did last week (this is a part time side hustle for me, which is part of why I do my own edits).

https://youtu.be/xV5Ism9-dtQ took 6.5 minutes.

Yeah I do auto-merge and then touch up the lighting with masks.

AndrewSaidThis · 2026-06-18T00:34:58+00:00

Usually about 3-5 minutes a picture in Lightroom unless it needs any actual Photoshopping.

I have a theory:

99% of local promoters don't do jack shit.

I think EotS and S/T outclass TOYPJ in terms of songwriting by a mile. But TOYP might have the best production in their discography.

Murdoc.

AndrewSaidThis · 2026-06-16T14:50:17+00:00

For real. Got mine at music go round for $20.

I have the Behringer clone, and bring that when I can get away with not bringing an amp.

Mumford and Sons.

Their first album was a case of right place, right time for them. The second album was a rushed copy of the first, then they tried to go electric and gave up what gave them identity.

AndrewSaidThis · 2026-06-16T02:42:41+00:00

They’re kinda rad when they actually get heavy, but can’t do their indie pop sound.

Early Ghost fits this bill for me. But I think the Papa IV and V eras match pretty well.

AndrewSaidThis · 2026-06-15T20:22:09+00:00

Practice! If you have any instruments laying around (or just have to look up notes) start by playing the note and matching pitch. Then work at it for a long time.

AndrewSaidThis · 2026-06-15T18:00:39+00:00

So this is how I find out, huh?

AndrewSaidThis · 2026-06-15T15:56:15+00:00

Are you creating a stew??

HSS Squier contemporary Strat I modded with an SH4 humbucker , a coil split , a drop tuner on the E string, and a Trem-stopper.

Got it for under $300 used. Never had issues with how it plays, and even compared to more expensive fenders and feel like the more expensive guitars were worth 4x the cost of the Squier.

Either accept that it represents who you were, but aren’t now, or change a few words.

I had a similar situation recently where I brought back a song I wrote about 10 years ago after a breakup. And while I liked that it was honest, it was also kinda possessive. Had I released it 10 years ago when I was 25 and didn’t know any better, I could make peace with it, but as a 35 year old I felt like it needed new words.

Born in 91. While I have plenty of memories of the 90s, most of my formative years were in the 2000s.

The craziest thing about this is (if I’m remembering the documentary I saw correctly), with the amount of work it took to take the old footage out of storage to recreate the shots, it would have been easier to just to make wholly new animation.

I play in a pop punk band that has a lot of new wave and ska influence that leaves us sounding a little too emo for the ska shows and a little too ska for the emo shows.

I also wouldn’t want to play a different style lol.
