I need to learn how to edit!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theantiquetiger]

Thanks to this site, my portraiture has gone from TRASH (5 years ago) to what I think is as good (or better) as most "professionals" here in Baton Rouge. I see stuff people are buying now, and I cannot believe what people are paying for this crap. The biggest thing is the editing. They are taking OK images and editing them into very nice portraits.

My RAW images are better than a lot of the stuff I see from others, but my biggest handicap is my editing skills (or lack of) in Photoshop. I can only edit in LR (and I am sure those skills are lacking as well).

I have spent hours upon hours watching editing videos, but I just cannot grasp the skill. I think I am fairly computer savvy (I took programming in college 25 years go), but it just won't come to me.

Any suggestions other than going to Art School/College?
