Are you a "pixel-peeper" or a creative and idea-rich photographer?

But the polar opposite of pixel peeping is the tragedy of what you often hear on the forum, those dreaded words 'I don't do any post processing'. It's the apex of not caring, and yet somehow or other it's usually meant as a virtue.

Yes, it's amazing how much difference a little careful tweaking can make. My photos of London were rather dull until I truly mastered post-processing.

Is that what you call "smog" in London? 😄

Pixel peeper.

For anything creative, I expect Dr. Mandler, the Lightroom "auto" button, and Perspective Control to do their jobs properly.

I'm not so sure. Do you not think that there's something lacking in the shadow detail?

Well 'not caring' is also an excuse for committing atrocities in photographic and the wider world history. But if you knew how to do that yourself shame on you 😁

It's an artistic choice!

I prefer 'challenging reinterpretation of an iconic landmark' to 'atrocity'.

The work of Susanne Wellm is the perfect antidote to pixel-peeping. It’s all about the art, baby!

I’m not sure I have the weaving skills of this lady. Fascinating though..

pixel peeping... another way to show faux superiority in a photography forum or on youtube to the un informed. 

 

If pixel peeping was sooo important to photography, why do I only see it being done by clowns trying to impress everyone with their new camera purchase of a modern mirrorless camera.. 

 

never seen the Kodak Brownie brigade doing so.
