On the left you can see the various export presets listed beneath Lightroom’s Publish Services heading. You can also fix one image, then select others and sync your changes to apply those changes to all. Lightroom lets you easily copy/paste changes from one image to another-it even asks which changes you want to copy. You even get opacity control so you can dial back the strength of the change.Ĭopy/paste or sync changes across multiple images Lightroom’s Spot Removal brush can be set to either healing (blends surrounding pixels) or cloning (copies pixels with no blending) mode, meaning you can click, or click and drag, to remove blemishes, wrinkles, power lines, and more. (While you can access the same sliders and local adjustment tools in the Camera Raw plug-in that comes with Photoshop, only savvy photographers do.)īy desaturating the whole photo and then using the Adjustment Brush to increase saturation in the areas you paint across, you can create a nice partial color effect. Until we can edit images telepathically, sliders are as simple as it gets. Those local tools make it easy to fix overexposed skies, create partial color effects, add digital makeup, smooth skin, lighten teeth and wrinkles, enhance eyes, darken hot spots, add extra sharpening to specific spots, etc. How about sharpening, adding a color tint or edge vignette? You guessed it…sliders.Įven Lightroom’s local adjustment tools, including the Adjustment Brush and Graduated and Radial Filters, use sliders to affect certain parts of the image instead of the whole things-the changes only occur to areas you mark by dragging atop the image. Want to lighten shadows or darken highlights? Sliders. Want to change exposure or contrast? Use a slider. Unlike Photoshop’s vast variety of image controls, nearly everything in Lightroom is controlled by sliders. Using Lightroom’s handy before and after preview options (circled), you can easily assess your editing prowess. Lightroom’s History panel shows you everything you’ve ever done to the image, including exporting it. While you can increase Photoshop’s history states to 1000, your hard drive space will vanish at warp speed-for each history state, Photoshop creates another copy of your document each time you change something. Close the document and its history resets. In contrast, Photoshop gives you 20 undos (called history states), but they’re available only while that document is open. Thanks to Lightroom’s powerful organizational, filtering, and sorting tools, the chore of organizing and culling photos becomes almost enjoyable.īecause of its database model, you can undo anything you’ve done anytime you want using Lightroom’s History panel, even after you quit the program.
