It’s a “How Would I Edit Your Photo?” episode of The Grid, where Scott dives into viewer-submitted images and shows exactly how he’d refine them in Lightroom and Photoshop. But first—in a shocking twist—the food “news” isn’t about chicken sandwiches this week. Once that’s out of the way, it’s back to business: cropping for impact, precise masking, taming harsh light, removing distractions, dialing in color, and pushing edits where they matter most. Pixel Pro Kirk Nelson is in-studio to assist (and take over a few edits), while Erik joins remotely with thoughts on composition, creative direction, and when an edit elevates the story—or starts to fight it. Practical, unscripted, and packed with techniques you can use right away.
