"Such a helpful breakdown! I’ve always been curious about how Clarity, Texture, and Dehaze work differently in Lightroom and ACR. This video made it so much easier to understand when and why to use each. Thanks for the clear explanations and examples!"
As many have commented, this is the best tutorial video on these slider functions. That's because you use real practical examples of each. Often, videos which just explain what they do or the technical function of the sliders leaves us just as clueless as to how to use any of these features.
That was so useful and interesting, I watched it twice. This was the best explanation I've seen on these sliders, ones I use all the time. Now, I have a better understanding of how they work and I think I'll be able to apply them better in the future. It's these little details that can make a difference in an image's appearance. Thanks.
Well done. I found this training easy to absorb, pace just right and presented with examples that drive home how these tools work alone and in combinations.🎉
I've been using Dehaze for some time to "warm" brown things (trees, furniture, etc.) and didn't even think that it was saturation. How obvious and how silly of me to not even think in that direction. Great breakdown of these tools, thanks!
Yup, learned a heap! Thank you!!! Now I know why it is said you don't take a photo, you make the photo. As an interested soul I see why we want a camera that does everything our eyes do compacted all into that single image. I'm a fan of natural appearance but also know we all perceive differently. All artists must find the process very time consuming, not to mention people's throwing out box office hits...argh...I'm frustrated just thinking about it 🤪
Thanks, I am still struggling with these concepts of clarity, contrast, luminance, etc and I have this feeling I'm understanding them better through your explanations
Thanks, great explanation. Understanding areas of high,med, low frequency and hoe each applies is eye opening. Also cutting back on vibrance or saturation with the dehaze - so obvious once explained to you.
This was a great video. Going over the definition of contrast and frequency was very helpful. I will have to rewatch the video of remember how to use clarity, texture and dehaze. QUESTION: When to use the contrast slider (right under exposure)? Thanks a bunch!
I love this video! I use these sliders all the time but never knew exactly what each one did. You gave me a great tip when you suggested backing off on the saturation afterward, that REALLY allows for fine-tuning. Thanks!
Thank you - This helps. I'm in the middle of weaning myself off of old PhotoKit (having to run Photoshop in Rosetta to use it) and finding comparable controls without it. I do Primarily b&w - finally determined to move on from a set of tools I have used for most of my work for decades.
Great tutorial, very informative. I didn't realize you could use a brush to select areas to Dehaze, and I hate to admit I've using Lightroom and Photoshop for a long time. Now I have to go back and reedit some images 😍👍👍
Thank you! An excellent tutorial. Is it possible that you highlight the cursor while you're demonstrating or indicating an area of the image (or Tool/Develop panel)? It can be difficult to see exactly where on an image you're working - such as with the Texture brush in this tutorial.
Great explanation! I assume most people use these settings a bit more “intuitively” or just by trial and error. This explanation on the other hands brings these tools to a completely different level. Very well explained and demonstrated. Thanks!
I've often felt that there is just one way of adjusting photos in RAW and that all those sliders are just variations on the Curves theme. Thanks for a really good explanation.
Thank you for your very insightful tutorial. Your conceptual approach with good examples is very helpful to those of us who need to know the why's not just the how to's.
Great explanation for the use of the three sliders. What do you think of the judicious use of a high pass filter in Ps to sharpen parts of an image? Or using all of these tools in combination? Great tutorial! Thanks.
This video taught me so much when it comes to bringing out some details in an image and softening others. I try to learn how to use lightroom from youtube videos. Sometimes I come away feeling more confused than anything. But your teaching method is so easy to follow. I have subscribed to your channel plus I intend to bookmark your youtube homepage so I can watch more of your videos. Thank you.
A great - as usual - tutorial. I have a question; so we have the three 'frequency' labels, which I get (effectively levels of sharpness, right?), but I don’t get *how* the word frequency is being used. What frequency in reference to sharpness is being referred to? Sorry for being so dim... Chris
It refers to the size of resolvable features, not sharpness. You should google the term because it’s scientific and more than I can explain in a comment. But understanding the term isn’t really necessary to image processing

Thanks for saying so!
Best explanation of those sliders I’ve seen. Thank you!
After watching this tutorial, I decided to revisit some old photos I had trouble with in Lightroom, and the techniques saved my photos. Thank you!
Great to hear!
as a long time user of LRC, I have to say I have learned so much from your recent tutorials on the subtleties of the panels. many thanks Colin!
Great to hear!

This is probably one of the best tutorials on this topic.
Thank you for providing some clarity. And texture. Was a little hazy on this subject before.
😂
😂😂😂
Thanks for the very clear explanation of the differences between clarity and texture
Glad it was helpful!
Best explanation I’ve heard for these tools. It really helps understanding the link between the contrast tools and the way they effect colour.
Very Helpful, the definition of contrast and frequency up front made it much easier to understand.
Well done. I found this training easy to absorb, pace just right and presented with examples that drive home how these tools work alone and in combinations.🎉
Excellent explanation!!! This is really a worthwhile video.
Glad it was helpful!

Your tutorials (all of them) are wonderful! Don't change a thing in how you do them, they are perfect 👌
Thanks so much
Greatly appreciate this tutorial . I picked up a better understanding on how those sliders will effect my photos.
Yup, learned a heap! Thank you!!! Now I know why it is said you don't take a photo, you make the photo.

The adjustments come very natural once you get used to them. It also helps to be aware of this when you are in the field.
Thanks, I am still struggling with these concepts of clarity, contrast, luminance, etc and I have this feeling I'm understanding them better through your explanations
Wow, finally someone could explain what it really is about! Thank you!
Thanks, great explanation. Understanding areas of high,med, low frequency and hoe each applies is eye opening. Also cutting back on vibrance or saturation with the dehaze - so obvious once explained to you.
Glad it was helpful!
This is the best, most accessible explanation of these sliders. New subscriber, looking forward to more tutorials. Great job. Thank you.
Thanks Colin, very informative, detailed, and patient. Good demos and good uses of highlighting tools and adjustments! Thanks again, Geoff

Check out this video on contrast from a couple of weeks ago.
Best tutorial as I have ever seen since I started to use LrC, PSD, thank you 🙏🏼
Love to hear that!!

BIG THUMBS UP FOR THIS VIDEO! Thanks for taking us back to basics with these three sliders...
Great tutorial, very informative. I didn't realize you could use a brush to select areas to Dehaze, and I hate to admit I've using Lightroom and Photoshop for a long time. Now I have to go back and reedit some images 😍👍👍
Have fun :)
An excellent description, Colin. Thank you for the explanation.
My pleasure!
Great explanations! Very easy to follow and definitely something that will help me localise edits in the future!
excellent demonstration 👍👍👍
Hi Colin, looking forward to more insights into Camera RAW - Thank you

Hi Very good tutorial, Learned a lot about using a combination of all three and how they work. More please 😊
More to come!
I've often felt that there is just one way of adjusting photos in RAW and that all those sliders are just variations on the Curves theme.
Thanks for a really good explanation.
Thank Colin for such an EFFECTIVE video. It helps me a lot.
BEST video ever on this topic! Thank you!!!
Very good video, easy to understand 👍

Excellent tutorial, Colin. Thanks so much. I'm going to try these out.
Fantastic!
Thanks! I was searching for this kind of a tutorial. Perfect Explanation.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for your very insightful tutorial. Your conceptual approach with good examples is very helpful to those of us who need to know the why's not just the how to's.
Glad to add that bit of info
Thank you! One of the best explanations i have seen on the topic.

Dear Colin
Thanks again for a quality tutorial. It was very interesting.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video showing how to use the sliders!
Great and simple explanation of how this works... thank you!!!!
Glad it was understandable
Colin, excellent lesson. Can you do more of these across all ACR adjustments?
I've already done a few, but I'll try and cover more
I like to think of using
positive Dehaze settings as dialing in Kodachrome 25 film dupe effects setting.
Nice
Great job, need more like this one.
More to come!
Thanks! I been using all 3, but it looks like not in the right way. Thanks!
Thank you! Learned so much even having some experience.
Great to hear!
Great explanation for the use of the three sliders. What do you think of the judicious use of a high pass filter in Ps to sharpen parts of an image? Or using all of these tools in combination? Great tutorial! Thanks.
I use High Pass sharpening quite often. Its another option. Usually I use that on a composite when want to sharpen everything together.
Hello Colin, Thanks for the great explanation with Texture.
My pleasure!
This is a very good video, very helpful to me. Thanks.
thanks
Very much appreciated Colin! Learnt a lot!

Very good. Do you have to create a new mask for each parameter separately as you do here or can you mask an area once and adjust all three?
You can adjust all 3 on the same mask if you want
Thank you
So Much Food for Thought !!!!!!!!! ThankYou :) :) :)
Very informative and helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Great explanation, thanks!!!😊
