  • In this Lightroom tutorial, I explore the new Subject Selection Filter and how we can separate the subject from a background in 3 easy steps. Using Radial Filters in Adobe Lightroom, we can bring an image to life and draw focus to the foreground.

    This was absolutely game changing for me. I used to always select my subjects, invert and bring down the background to create separation. This is way better. Furthermore, it can actually mimic a back flash for portrait photography like in my weddings. Amazing!

    I don't normally comment on videos but this is actually a very useful and meaningful technique. By creating a seperation like this, it gives a medium format kind of look to the image. It's something that's very difficult to mimic using other techiques. Thanks a lot for sharing :)
