So many photo editors these days have the ability to sharpen photos. Some do a good job and some do not such a good job. Adobe Lightroom happens to be one of the applications that does a good job. As well they should. Adobe has been around forever and it’s got the necessary technology down […]

Hands down, one of the coolest features of Adobe Lightroom is its print function. Everything related to printing can be found under the Print tab and, if you’ve never been in this area, get ready to be blown away. I’ll be writing tons of great posts that cover everything regarding how to print from Lightroom, […]

The process or sharpening images with Adobe Lightroom is nearly identical to the process of sharpening photos with Camera Raw. After all, Lightroom does use the Camera Raw engine for its image processing. As you may know, I’ve already written a post that talks about how to sharpen an image with Camera Raw, so you […]

I was messing around with the Split Toning panel in Adobe Lightroom yesterday and found it rather simple to apply a sepia tone look to an already black and white photograph. If you aren’t aware, the word sepia is derived from the Greek word meaning “cuttlefish. Apparently, the cuttlefish looks like a squid and can […]

The HSL panel in Adobe Lightroom is nearly identical to the one in Camera Raw and since I already wrote about the one in Camera Raw, I’ll try not to repeat myself too much here. If you’d like to learn about HSL panels in general, you can click through to check out the post below. […]

I think I’m going to mess around in Adobe Lightroom today, just for practice. Out of all the Adobe applications I use, Lightroom sees the least amount of daylight.

When editing images in Adobe Lightroom, the last thing you want to happen is to get bogged down by repetitive tasks. If you’ve been using Lightroom for any amount of time, you surely know how cumbersome things can get by repeating the same slider movements over and over again when editing multiple images. After a […]

There’s this thing out there called “luminance masking” that’s sort of confusing. It’s a great feature that can be found in a number of Adobe products and it really shouldn’t be ignored. If you’re into using localized adjustment tools and have had issues with separating what you’re attempting to adjust with surrounding objects and areas, […]

Taking advantage of the different types of filters (Graduated, Radial) in both Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom can totally transform a wide variety of photos. I’ve actually talked about these types of filters on this blog many times. I’ve also worked on all types of photos with a variety of filters and each time I […]

This exciting feature is brand new for 2018. It’s called the Range Mask and it works alongside the Graduated Filter, Radial Filter and the Adjustment Brush in Adobe Lightroom. Basically, this tool allows you to mask out areas that you’de rather not have affected by the filters I just mentioned. This is a very powerful […]
