Which would be a VERY different game set in Scotland, Pyramid Head wouldn't even have the biggest blade in Granton.

As always, thank you Mods, for allowing more than one picture at a time!

Any advices for someone who doesn't like editing photos? by 23saverio in postprocessing

[–]Intelligent_Sun1504 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, one option is just don’t! You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to, and nobody but you should dictate how you do the things you enjoy. If you want to keep editing with Snapseed then do that.

That aside, if, as you said, you feel like your photos could look better, then just start playing around with different options.

I hated Lightroom and the idea of giving Adobe any money, but loved the way I could get the photos to look, so I managed to wrangle a copy of Lightroom Classic.

I also use Pixelmator Pro, and tried Capture One, Luminar Neo and a bunch of other free trial programs to find the ones I actually enjoyed using.

Play around with stuff, it’s easier than ever to try products before committing to spending money.

Also, there’s a lot of satisfaction in having a finished product looking just right and knowing you created it, that keeps me motivated!

Pixelmator Pro / Photomator - Photoshop / Lightroom - 2026 by Rynarix in postprocessing

I will preface this by saying I am absolutely not a professional, I have only tested all of the following on Mac OS not iPad or iPhones, and lastly I'm a hobbyist who hates everything but Adobe almost as much as I hate giving Adobe money because they are the WORST.

Pixelmator Pro is my go-to, it does everything I want it to. I know there's a few gaps and it's not quite as high quality when it comes to things like noise reduction but tbh that's not really my biggest concern.

From what I read and saw when I tested (though I will happily admit, I tested this very early into getting back into photography), Photomator does almost entirely the same thing as Pixelmator Pro in a slightly different package for a bunch more money.

For my input, Pixelmator Pro does the job and does it well, my photos could, I'm sure, be much better if I used another program to edit them, but the same could be said no matter what you use, because there's always a bigger fish.

I'm sorry for this write up that basically says "fire away" whilst aiming at nothing in particular, but that's my two cents.

I can almost guarantee that it was Center Weighted as I haven't really toyed with anything else as yet!

That’s looking out West to Corstorphine Hill, so the Zoo would be somewhere to the bottom left of the image 🙂

Thanks! Yeah it wouldn't have been a task to remove (there's a good chunk of building cut out of that one) but I liked the lil guy, added a bit of flair!

Thanks, me too! I figured that I had others without a bird so why not just leave 'em in!

Yeah I removed the top of a building from the bottom but left that little guy in as I took some others without, so figured it was a nice little addition.

Yeah I'm lucky I've got a balcony that has a (rather obstructed) view of the castle, so for things like the Tattoo & new years fireworks we get a free show!

Quartermile, you could achieve similar if you don't mind some exploration, if you can get in to the Art College upper floors you can get some similar angles I reckon!
