In Arabic, we have a terminology "التغذية البصرية" which literally means "Visual Nutrition".
It means basically to develop an artistic eyes by looking into other people's photographs (or art in general), hence kind of reach a saturated status of art visualizing to be able to produce better art or just simply learn from the others (e.g. browsing through Flickr or Instagram for photographers).
What is the correct respective terminology in English?
This question came from our site for professional, enthusiast and amateur photographers.
A similar expression in English slang would refer to a practiced eye or a trained eye. It's a noun.
Definition of practiced eye according to Merriam-Webster:
1 : a lot of knowledge about and experience with the way something looks
His practiced eye told him one of the diamonds was a fake.
2 : someone who has a lot of knowledge about and experience with the way something looks
The diamonds may look identical to you and me, but to a practiced eye, one is obviously a fake.
