I do architecture photography. The worse part is that I know the client probably won’t notice the difference. How do you know when enough is enough?

    I’m an amateur, I don’t do much architecture photography and I don’t have clients so take it with a grain of sail, but I edit when there’s a purpose i.e.

    • I almost always adjust highlights and shadows.

    • I do a white balance test, sometimes pics are better if they’re white balanced but sometimes the “feel” is better if left alone. I keep the light red/purple etc. if it’s concert photography.

    • Noise reduction if ISO was high.

    • Maybe a crop.

    • HSL only if I have a goal in mind. Maybe someone looks really cool in a photo and I want to give it a film look. Maybe I’m inspired to make the yellows pop. And then I’m done.

    Otherwise, I’m just playing with settings.
