No it’s not called the “let me just sit here going 10-15mph over the speed limit and not pass people” lane. It’s the passing lane. Pass and get over. Even when I’m passing people and I see someone approaching from behind who is going faster than me, I just move over to the right and let them go ahead of me because I also don’t wanna have some neurotic butthead on my ass more than I need to.

Have some self awareness. Pass and move over. It’s been astronomically worse this week.

Pretty much the title says it all. I do like editing, don’t get me wrong. I love the artistic process and deciding the mood, and what I want an image to convey. I do nature/wildlife stuff. And then I come back from an outing, and I just have a stack of raws to look through and see which ones I like best. And once I do that, I kinda start editing one by one.

What has somewhat helped is realizing I don’t have to do them all immediately I can take my time. I do this as a hobby so I don’t have a “deadline” other than my own impatience for wanting to have the finished versions for my own amusement and going “teehee!” As I look through my images.

Do people have a back log they go into once things slow down to work on in the meantime? Do you guys work on images you are more excited about first? I kinda want to know what people’s experiences are to get through the editing fatigue.

She externalizes absolutely everything almost 10 fold. Emotionally. And it’s getting quite exhausting to be around because she also expects everyone around her to participate in regulating her emotions.

Every conversation is highly emotional. Every emotion needs to be validated out loud. All of her feelings are externalized. Not to mention the constant talking of shit of anyone who hasn’t validated her constantly or put up professional boundaries.

Complains about communication not realizing that to work with people you got to get to a middle ground and not everyone can cater to you personally all the time.

I just want to go to work. Do my job, yap a little about random stuff, be done with work, do my hobbies, and go home. I did not sign up to be a therapist. Nor am I even trying to. About to up my gray rock method a bit more. Wish me luck 🤞

Hello everyone!

I have been googling, searching, and reading different forums/posts on this. I use Affinity Photo 2 for editing (I know Lightroom has a direct upload but I gotta work with what I have and I’m not a fan of subscriptions). In affinity, there is an option to change pixels proportions once I export a photo from a raw file to a jpeg before saving. I saw one suggestion that said to set the pixels one the shortest side of your photo to 1080. Which makes sense.

I haven’t had a huge issue with image compression and detail loss doing mostly wildlife photography (because who the heck is out here pixel peeping other peoples photos and zooming in x400). Like yes I noticed a big difference but it didn’t really bug me too much until I started posting macro photography to instagram. Holy cow, does Instagram really mess with the details. I straight up do not post 80% of my macro shots on Instagram because of how crappy the upload is on Instagram.

I do have “Upload at highest quality” toggled on.

I’d love to hear advice and suggestions! I see other cool macro photos and I’m like “what the heck, mine do not upload like that 😭”
