    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.

    @pjpisczak4024 Рік тому

    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.

    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'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!
