It is my trap that I have made for myself. I need to learn to filter out what I can use and what is irrelevant to my editing. I take every comment entirely too seriously which is a problem I have had all of my life and has nothing to do with fiddling with exposure settings or anything else. I just need help editing content. I would love to hire a full-time editor. I can't. I appreciate any comments I can get on content.
