    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.

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.
