It’s an “Airing of Grievances” episode of The Grid, with Scott Kelby, Erik Kuna, and special guest John Dukes venting about photography, the industry, and all the little things that drive creatives crazy—from unsolicited critiques and requests for RAW files to “exposure” as payment, gear tribalism, instant “pro” branding, and the myth that better cameras equal better photographers. In between laughs (and a few fast-food frustrations), Scott gives a sneak peek at an unreleased Lightroom cloud feature: natural-language search that lets you find images using detailed phrases—everything from specific clothing and activities to stormtroopers and rows of olive oil—currently available for cloud-stored images only. Add in giveaways (a Platypod grip, books, and On1 NoNoise), a plug for the upcoming iPhone Photography Conference, and plenty of banter, and you’ve got another lively, unscripted episode packed with honest takes and real-world insight.

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.

Is photography getting too polished for its own good? In Episode 679 of The Grid, Scott and Erik dive into the rise of intentional imperfection—sparked by a widely discussed article from AI founder Matt Shumer about how fast artificial intelligence is evolving (and what that means for all of us). While the article isn't about photography, the implications hit hard: AI can now edit, restore, generate, and even show signs of “taste.” As flawless, AI-smoothed images risk feeling sterile, more photographers are leaning into grit, grain, nostalgia, and authenticity. They unpack presets vs. learning, Gemini inside Photoshop, AI-powered restoration, and the bigger question—what makes a photo feel real in the first place?
