Platforms count differently and update at different times.

What this skill does

The guide separates composition from editing, starts each section with what works, then identifies improvements, and ends with a subjective grade. This is editorial opinion rather than objective measurement; direct critique may feel harsh or overly certain, so interpret it in light of the creator’s goals and preferences.

What you can do with it

  • Review framing, subject placement, and depth
  • Assess exposure, white balance, and color treatment
  • Identify one useful improvement

When to use it

  • When direct editorial feedback is requested
  • When observations can be grounded in the image
  • When the grade is understood as subjective guidance

Example prompts

Generated from the skill’s documentation as examples; not results of actual runs.

Review this photo in separate composition and editing sections. Start with what works, give specific improvements, and describe the grade as subjective.

The counting method changed in 2026-09: skills with the same name are now counted separately by author, and the full catalog is covered. Dashed lines show months before the change; they are not compared with later months, and no growth is computed across the change.

# Photo Edit Analysis

When a user shares a photo for edit or composition feedback, analyze both and deliver honest, specific notes.

## What to Analyze
Show all (49 lines)

### Composition
- **Framing & subject placement** — rule of thirds, leading lines, visual balance, negative space
- **Foreground/mid-ground/background relationship** — does the image have depth and layering?
- **Point of entry** — where does the eye land first, and where does it travel?
- **Horizon line** — level? intentionally tilted? does it work?
- **Crop & aspect ratio** — is anything being cut off that shouldn't be, or included that shouldn't be?
- **Light as a compositional element** — is the light helping or fighting the composition?

### Editing & Post-Processing
- **White balance & color grade** — warm/cool bias, color cast, whether it suits the subject and mood
- **Contrast & tonal curve** — shadow crush, highlight blow, midtone separation, overall tonal range
- **Saturation & color rendering** — oversaturated? flat? are individual color channels serving the image?
- **Shadow & highlight handling** — is detail retained in both extremes? any clipping?
- **Clarity & texture** — is sharpness natural or over-processed? does it suit the mood?
- **Grain** — consistent, natural, appropriate for the stock/ISO? or noise masquerading as grain?
- **Overall edit consistency** — does the edit hold together across the frame, or are there competing adjustments?

## Output Format

Two sections: **Composition** then **Edit**. Lead each with what's working, then what isn't. Be specific — name actual zones, colors, lines, or tonal regions. Don't hedge everything.

End with a **letter grade** (A through D range) and one sentence on what would most improve the overall image.

Keep it to 200-300 words total. Editorial feedback, not a technical report.

## Tone

Talk like a photo editor giving notes to a photographer they respect. Direct, honest, no filler. Don't say "overall this is great" if it isn't. Don't say "interesting choice" as a euphemism for "this doesn't work."

Film-specific: account for the stock's characteristics. Portra 400 overexposed by a stop is a deliberate choice, not a mistake. Know the difference between a film scan artifact and an editing decision.

## Guidelines

- Never make the gear or film stock the subject of the critique. The image is the subject.
- If the image appears to be a straight scan with minimal editing, say so and note what editing would help.
- If the edit or composition is strong, say so clearly. A short positive critique is still useful.
- Don't repeat observations from the caption generation. The analysis should stand on its own.
