I’ve been shooting a lot of pictures, and they originally was coming out pinked and been using rawtherapee to edit then I started shooting with a custom white balance to see through live view how it looks, I get good contrast very white leaves trees darker water and skies. When I edit it I can’t seem to seperate the rgb bands for good editing with out putting saturation at max making it very noisy, I’ve done white balance selection, colour input, color profile settings, exposure, channel swapping, followed guides on YouTube and everyone instantly seems to get very clear colour channels for each part of there picture but mine seems to be all one haze of colour that is limiting the editing. Does anyone know why is it how I’m shooting the pictures I’m shooting in raw format I’m a bit lost and frustrated after a few days of playing around. Any help would be benificial I’m not sure if it’s camera settings or editing I’m doing something wrong. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Im pushing for my long term goal of 2000 on lichess since I started playing around Covid time I always saw that as my goal and thought when I hit 2000 I’m good at chess. My peak is 1971 and I’m hovering around 1900-1950 for past few weeks.

Even being close I realise I don’t really understand chess and I don’t feel good at the game.

Does this feeling ever go away?

Or regardless of what rating you’ve gotten do you still feel like you don’t really understand the game?

It’s a personal milestone or trait maybe some of you feel like you have a good grasp on the game at 1500 maybe some at 2500 maybe some at 2500 who still feels they have no idea what they’re doing?

Curious to each and everyone’s own unique experience with the game, their mile stones and growth.
