Looking for resources on photo editing software and good, clear tutorials of how to use it. I imagine there are plenty of free software that mimic whatever Adobe has, but I know nothing about it. There is a certain kind of highly stylized photography I want to get into. No pro camera at the moment; I figured that I can get some raw material to work with using a phone and learn how to use the programs first. I imagine that the functions and values are all the same between different platforms and its just the ergonomics and layouts that are different. I'm coming at this completely from scratch and know almost nothing about photography. Every resource i find assumes I have some basics already and it seems like a tough hurdle to get into. I want to learn more before dropping cash on a camera, so till then, i'll focus on the editing side.
>>4458182if this radioactive mess is what you consider good editing, unironically you are never going to make it
>>4458189Cmon it's just a Sony SOOC.
>>4458189i just used a random liam wong photo from my desktop. Not the kind of thing im goin for. but also i want to add that im not trying to "make it." I just want to do a certain kind of thing for myself. Basically bring a purpose and Thing To Do when i go places rather than just look at shit..
Well it’d be helpful to actually get an example of what you’re going for or could atleast vaguely describe it.

>>4458254Thank you! I'll be looking into this.
