Hello! This is my second day using a camera so please don’t flame me too hard haha, got one second hand last week and I’m really enjoying it.

I took this photo and attempted to edit it to make the reflection stand out more (which worked, hurray!) but then I realised it kind of blacked out the bushes on the balcony which which were obviously lighter to begin with. I was honestly just moving parts of a graph up and down without a clue on DPP Express, wondering if there’s a way to avoid this?

Also wondering if adobe software is worth it as lightroom is what I see people talk most often about but the subscription price is crazy. As a complete beginner I’m not sure I need that, so any suggestions of free alternatives I could learn on would be appreciated :)

Thanks!

I’ve recently developed a tic where keep picking up and putting down the same thing repeatedly— it’s mostly been cups/cans onto tables. Most of my tics are simple so this is pretty unusual for me and I’m not entirely sure how to stop it.

Just wondering if anyone else has experience with any similar tics and if so do you have any tips on how to redirect it? The pressure is down my entire arm and hand so I can’t figure it out and honestly the tic is just really annoying. I don’t know why it’s triggered so specifically either for lack of a better explanation. My tics tend to happen whenever and are 9/10 times in my face/neck (blinking and whatever) so I’m just feeling a bit baffled.

Thank you :)

How to have contrast without “blacking out” smaller details? + Is lightroom worth it?
