Lightroom Photo Editing Tips Every Photographer Should Know

Master these essential tips and level up your editing game

9. Localized Hue Adjustments Fully control your colors

Another great tool that can be used with the selective adjustment tools is the localized hue adjustment. Once you make a selection, you can change the colors in that area using the localized hue adjustment. If you partner this with the range mask tool and select a certain color, you can then shift that color using the hue adjustment. Very useful feature.

10. Correct Skin Using Default Brush Presets Soften skin, whiten teeth, enhance eyes, etc!

If you are shooting a model and would like to edit their skin, you don’t need to open the photo in Photoshop to do so. Simply use the built in brush presets to accomplish this. The “Soften Skin” brush preset softens the skin of your subject, and the “Teeth Whitening” preset will help whiten their teeth. You can weaken these effects by adjusting the values after you make your selection. Remember, you can use the Auto Mask and Range Mask features to ensure your selection is perfect.
