I have used this technique for many years using the adjustment brush. For whatever reason I had never thought of using the radial tool for this. Thanks for the tip.
I've been doing the same thing using the Brush tool. Hadn't thought about using the Radial tool, but it looks like that will make things even faster and better. Thanks.
I'd been saving the email about this, unopened, for two months. Today, as it happens, I have a mockingbird photo with a dark eye issue. Thanks for the timely advice, Matt!
Thank-you Matt, eyes can be a 'real' problem down here in the Australian Bush. We go from blinding light in the Mallee country to almost total darkness in our temperate rain forest gullies. Thanks again, excellent set of tips for out bird photography post work. . . Kind regards, Bruce, Australia
Actually: 2 tips! Making something like this into a preset was a tip in itself. Birdseye and Spotlight will be my next presets that I'll make. Thanks for that!
Loved the tutorial, I've looked at my Bird photography and thought it need something. After changing a couple pictures, you nailed it! I won't add a long comment about Bird Biology, I would like take a minute to say you are a great educator! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I have never used the sharpness slider. To be honest i don't know why it's there. Nice photos. On the last one the background has noise. I have noticed that many photographers don't remove noise but i would had remove it because i find it distracting.
Hi Matt, I love this simple technique. I am new to LRC, tried this and I am doing something wrong that I am hoping you can help correct. My practice attempt was to do exactly what you did. Use the radial gradient to enhance the dark eyes is a wildlife photo. The I used the radial gradient the entire photo adjusted. My goal was for only the eyes to adjust. What am I doing wrong? Thank you in advance!
Matt, could you kindly keep Lightroom tutorials separately from Photoshop ones? I do not have a liking for Lightroom and tend to view only those of Photoshop. I find in this tutorial, you deal with LR exclusively though the title mentions Photoshop too. This is misleading. Please!
As someone who mostly shoots birds, I love the ‘preset’ tip

nice effect, very useful !
Amazing tip. You're an outstanding educator / mentor and I admire how you take the time to share your knowledge. Thank you
Who would have thought that Matt would have some Killer Tips for Lightroom? ;-) Thanks Matt!!
Thank you Matt. This was nicely shown and explained.

Hi Carla. Poke around the settings for the Radial filter and you should see something to invert the effect.
If you're shooting a Dark-eyed Junco, best go easy with this. :)

Hi. Photoshop Camera Raw and Lightroom have exactly the same features. Same names too. So this will work the same in Photoshop Camera Raw too. Thanks!
