Do you touch up embarrassing parts in youth sports photos? If so, what is your workflow? Attended my niece’s sports match and offered to take photos to share with the team. These girls are early teenagers. On some of the action shots, you can visibly see armpit hair during post-processing. Some of the shots also include close up of their faces with some girls going through facial breakouts. These were also during the action, so thes…

Is it bad that I add grain to most of my photos? Basically what the title says. I really like the aesthetic of grainy pictures and I frequently add a bit of grain to pictures where there’s none because I like the nostalgic film look it gives, but some people prefer to be purist and just show their pictures as they’re taken with minimal or no editing. Does it mean that I’m not confident enough …

What are the compact full frame offerings? Back in the film days every simple and cheap P&S camera was full frame (duh!) But to me it seems that full frame digital is not very common in the compact class. Why is that? Of course FF sensors are more expensive but are there technical reasons? Of course I know of the sigma fp and a few others, very pricey options but I would love to have mor…

All my RAW files have a green-ish tint to them. Sample pics inside. Any idea why? Hey all, i recently got a Nikon Z50ii and also got Luminar Neo on sale for like 30 bucks or so. i figured it would be enough for my noob/amateur needs.

Livestreaming on ZV-E10 with dummy battery? I’ve got a client interested in live streaming a full event, but with my Sony ZV-E10, I don’t think the battery would last the whole way, even on charge (event is to be around 7-8 hours). The client has suggested using a dummy battery that plugs in, would this work for the event and would it be safe for my camera? submitted by /u/itsyashn…
