LS 10: Lightroom Essentials-Tonal Value Pt II

Live Session

Summary

In this livestream, I continue my discussion of the various tools in Lightroom that we can use to adjust tonal values including:

  • A clarification on the order of adjustments in the basic panel with respect to the “Whites” and Blacks” sliders and how to decide the best time to use them.
  • The Tone Curve panel and using the Parametric mode vs the Point curve mode.
  • Adjusting Luminance (tone) in the Color Mixer
  • Adjusting Luminance (tone) in Point Color
  • Using the Range Mask to adjust luminosity (tone)

I finish with an example image where I show how to use the various tools above to edit a difficult “out of balance” image.

Questions or feedback? Please leave them below! thanks
