It’s Blind Photo Critique Day on The Grid! Scott, Erik, and guest Serge Ramelli dish out straight talk (and a few laughs) on viewer-submitted images—from cinematic cowboy portraits to regal dogs to airplane shots that missed the mark. Some wowed, some wobbled, but all got feedback that will make you a better photographer. Plus, Vitaly Glebochkin from Retouch4Me demos their AI-powered Photoshop plugins, showing how dodge & burn, heal, and portrait volume tools run automatically on separate layers—speeding up retouching while keeping skin texture natural. You’ll be wondering why you’ve been doing it the hard way.
