Learning how to edit your photos can be a challenge. Luckily, the internet is full of resources for most topics, photo editing included.

One of my favorite ways to learn post production techniques is to watch. This practice is called observational learning. Essentially it pertains to all learning done through watching or observing others. Many studies cite the benefits of learning from others.

Because of this I figured what better way to improve your photo editing skills than to watch others on Youtube! Below, you can find the best channels for learning Photoshop, Lightroom, and many post processing tips and tricks. Please, leave a comment if I missed any good ones so I can add them!
