In this episode, I’ll break down five of the most common overediting mistakes I see photographers make—and ones I’ve definitely been guilty of myself. From oversaturated colors and over-sharpened details to crushed shadows, blown highlights, and heavy-handed clarity or color grading, these edits can quickly take an image from powerful to distracting. I’ll share how to recognize when you’ve pushed things too far and give you practical tips to keep your edits looking clean, natural, and impactful. Whether you’re just getting started or working to refine your style, this episode will help you elevate your editing without overdoing it.
