Default Definitions Pls.

Since the name includes the word "School", I won't feel too foolish askin',
What's the difference 'tween "Post Processing" and "Photo Editing"?

i;d say nothing. i think they are both exactly the same thing, PP is used as a more general term as it refers to motion too not just stills.

i could be wrong but much the same i think

I figure they're pretty similar, but I consider post-processing to encompass photo editing. So like post-processing might be fixing contrast or sharpness, whereas more complicated stuff like say, adding in something that wasn't there before, or taking out something else would be photo-editing. If that makes sense. But that's just me

i think their both the same. Photo Editing is basically changing the qualities of the image. Color, levels, stuff like that. Post processing is exactly the same.

To me, post-processing includes the entire workflow of ingesting, keywording, photo editing, and publication of the images.
