    In this week’s episode, we discuss a hidden Lightroom slider that professional photographers use, but most beginners don't know even exists. There are a ton of different tools and sliders inside of Lightroom so it's pretty common for a few of them to fall through the proverbial cracks so to speak. And, from my experience the majority of these lesser known tools aren't super critical to my workflow, but the one covered in this week's video is an exception. I hope you enjoy this week's video and uncover a new Lightroom tool that you find beneficial to your photo editing workflow. As always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

    Clicking on the histogram is not manipulating the histogram as you assume, it's just a shortcut for the sliders below. Tone curve is the way to adjust the histogram apart from the basic sliders. Color grading method is a limited workaround at best

    I really appreciate this video. I have stayed away from that section of LR due to having some color blindness; so I take my photos into PS just to use the brightness slider because I could not find an equivalent in LR. I think these sliders will be a great equivalent in a lot of situations and help not have to go back and forth as much and will refine my final result. Thank you for pointing these sliders out!

    Hi Mark, love your videos! I've always used Bridge but now prefer LR because of your videos. I would love to see a future feature your workspace setup / office. I notice all of the ambient light (salt rock, christmas lights etc.) Do you find this helpful for editing to keep lighting low, both physically and brightness? I was advised to keep my space as dark as possible for editing. Thanks!

    I was trained in Photoshop­™ before Lightroom™ arrived. Photoshop is a great, exhaustively great, program. It is a bit like using a large truck to bring home the groceries. You have taught me, in terms that I can understand, the benefits of Lightroom Classic™. Not only does this make it easier to adjust lighting, color, etc., it makes us more productive. After all, 'photographic' comes from Greek language for 'light writing' or 'light drawing'. LRC classic does this exceedingly well. Loved the presentation.

    @chesterjohnson4504 Год назад +1

    Very informative. I am becoming over whelmed with too many photo editing software programs and presets. I fought for years not wanting to pay Adobe the monthly subscription fee for LR Classic and PS. Instead I purchased DXO, Luminar, Topaz and a few more. I am back to using LR 90% of the time and yes paying the Adobe fees for the updates. I do have a question regarding presets. Do you find them helpful and able to obtain the look you are satisfied with? I use them more than I should than I make changes to the presets. I am now thinking that using presets keeps me from learning options available in LR. I would have never known about the sliders until viewing your video. A big thanks.

  • @wespettus7343

  • @JLHuckstep_DoomstoneProdAU
    @JLHuckstep_DoomstoneProdAU Год назад +1

    I've found I use these sliders often when I've got 50/100 images in a session. Not always with extra colour adjustments from this panel, instead I'll use the hue sliders or colour range edits.
    The midtone slider you mention would be a welcome addition for sure!

    Very helpful video Mark! I knew about adjusting right from the histogram, but didn't play close enough attention to notice that the 'midtone' area was adjusting the total exposure. That doesn't make sense when you think about it. Thank you for pointing this out and describing the real midtone adjustment slider. As you stated, hopefully Adobe adds the midtone slider to the basic slider and also ties it to the midtone area in the histogram so that it's all consistent. Thanks Mark!

  • @timothysmallwood2367
    @timothysmallwood2367 Год назад +1

    Thanks Mark, adjusting the mid tones is something I’d never really considered. I suppose I do it indirectly by adjusting the whole image (using the “exposure” slider) and then compensating with the other basic ones.
    Your video did get me wondering if you could get a similar effect in the Curves panel, maybe by putting a couple of fixed points a quarter and three-quarters along the curve and moving the middle up and down.
    I’ve got a few old images I want to revisit and I’ll try both ways and see what happens.

    • @MarkDenneyPhoto
