artistic importance of editing

A photographer’s job doesn’t stop at the snap of the shutter button. An image represents a photographer’s skill, technical ability, and vision. The final, and arguably the most altering part of the photo process is post-production. While some debate whether or not post-production takes away from a photo or adds value to it, editing as a whole is an artistic process. This is a large reason why we created our Visual Flow Preset System, to help photographers efficiently edit while maintaining artistic integrity.

There are a lot of reasons why photographers take the time to edit their photographs. It can range from basic enhancement, fixing imperfections, or creative manipulations.  Members of our Facebook community submitted the images below to illustrate the massive impact editing can make on your photographs.

We want you to bask in the greatness of these photographs. The images are posted with a before and after sequence for you to see the difference.  Then, feel mystified by the creative applications of post-processing or editing.
