You're being ridiculous.

I like photography, and do it as a hobby. I've spent hours upon hours going out and finding landscapes and angles, learning how to fully use manual mode, and editing those photos afterwards. I can look at a photo and understand a lot of the work that went into it and understand if the final photo was challenging or not to produce.

But I can still look at someone do something in their shot settings or editing that I don't know.

Now, put me against someone who is a full, 100% professional alongside someone who knows nothing about the process of photography but enjoys looking at the outcome.

The person who knows nothing looks at the photo and goes, "Oh, wow! That looks really incredible, this must have taken so much work to do! And then I say, "Well it's not that complicated, I can see where they added vibrancy and saturation, and they could have done more with the ISO and aperture to have better light exposure." Then the photographer says, "Actually I didn't only add vibrancy, I also modified the look of specific colours in the editing so I could make some colours pop out without making other colours look too over-saturated." And I say, "Wow, I didn't know that! That's really neat."

Then you walk up and go, "Oh well look what we have here, some guy who claims to know his way around photography but doesn't even know that technique? Clearly you know nothing about photography and your previous statement of this shot taking less work than the newbie over there thought means nothing!"

Come on, dude. Get over yourself.
