Video #3 – Finalizing Edits in Lightroom
While I use Photoshop to do the heavy lifting in my workflow, there are certain fine adjustments that I leave for last, once the image is brought back into my Lightroom catalog. If you are using Adobe Bridge with ACR and Photoshop these edits may not apply to your workflow, but for me they are an essential final check to both my IR and my regular workflow. Using the Targeted Adjustment tools in the HSL section of Lightroom is a quick and powerful way of making final tweaks to your colors before declaring your image “Finished!!”
I hope you don’t mind the videos as the picture is worth 1000 words definitely applies here, and a video is worth tens of thousands. My apologies for the occasional “Ums”. I’m hoping to do some more “How To” videos as I have time, so your feedback is much appreciated.
