Great tips! One of my tricks is to place the image on an empty fullscreen canvas and zoom it in and out to see it in various sizes against a white background. Staring at a blank white screen for a minute is also a good way to "reset" the eyes.
kudos! i completely forgot about trick 7. a teacher at uni once showed it but forgot about it. great last minute sanity-reality check. I haven't done upside down but have instead mirrored the image sometimes to check for composition balance etc.
00:12 I get this way when editing video. It's so good to step away for a little bit, which is hard when you have tight deadlines. I've found that collaborating with others has helped tremendously.
I shoot mainly portraiture so while something like turning it upside down won't help all that much, the last tip with the curves is something I never knew existed and will be a huge help for my work! Much appreciated! Also echo the whole 'looking at it on other devices' tip - that's a must before you put anything online. Checking something on a Mac to iPhone doesn't alter much, but I keep my old android around just to use it to see what it would roughly look like on a completely different company's device.
Hoorah for the liberation of the 1;1 ( or should I say 6x6 ) aspect ratio. Also discovered your B&W tip recently using the same logic. Nice to have it validated. I'm getting there slowly...
Excellent collection of suggestions. Two I had never thought of, and have great potential: viewing on different devices and previewing using presets. I have tended to ignore presets, but what a great way to see the potential of different treatments.
A trick I use which works great for me is having a small library of pictures i love (in terms of exposure and color) and that i know very well, I have looked at them in several lighting situations, i know i liked them when i first saw them and i still like them. That way if i have an image of say a sunset, i have a reference of how much saturation i found to be aesthetically pleasing and natural. Specially for editing video in davinci i use those images to base my scopes off of.
Your channel deserves a much bigger audience, really excellent, and your photography is tremendously good. You’re really helping me refine my work.
Great techniques shared, please do keep these kinds of videos coming, thanks.

Thanks for yet another great video. Your presentation and subjects are great. And the video itself is of great quality as well. 👍
I love all of the the tips you've mentioned here. Especially tip #7. Thanks for making such a well rounded video. Really enjoying your content.
excellent, especially the last one with auto + option + curves. I knew that one but totally forget about it. Thanks for reminder.

Several good hacks/tips
love your photo editing tips. thank you!
I’d love to see you edit one of your landscape shots live 🤙
I had no idea about tip#7! Great idea Todd, look forward to experimenting.
Thanks for the good information!
The method that saves my creativity is to not look at the photos for a period of time and then go back and edit them.
