A SMARTER Way to Enhance Contrast + Texture in Lightroom

If you use Lightroom to process your landscape photographs, then you'll want to watch this video. I’ll show you a BETTER way to add depth and interest to your images...WITHOUT relying on filters, presets, or other creative “shortcuts” that can give you hit-or-miss results.
This 3-step process will instantly enhance ANY landscape with zero side effects - no crushed shadows or blown highlights!
This is just a small sample of what you'll find inside my brand-new (and completely FREE) Lightroom masterclass on the masking panel.

Great and concisely presented point on contrast in images and Lightroom. There are tons of videos with the pretention to explain or teach it all when it comes to Lightroom but I have not seen one yet that speaks in such a clear and genial way of the simple but extremely powerful relation between contrast, blacks, whites, midtones. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the generous and thoughtful feedback. I try to create videos that are on very specific topics and discuss them in-depth, so I am happy to hear that you found this helpful...I appreciate it!

[@robertmarkusneiger6810]

The information that these videos (this one and others) convey is truly interesting. They go deep to the real substance.
I watch various channels that deal with these topics, but this, without a shadow of a doubt, seems to me to be one of the best. Thank you

That's very generous of you to say, thank you! My goal is to explain the WHY along with the HOW, so I'm happy to hear this resonated with you. :)

Hi Christopher, this is such a great tutorial. Works just the same in Adobe Camera Raw, as you probably already know. Subscribed.

[@christopherodonnell]

Makes it very handy to jump into Photoshop from Lightroom! Thanks for the nice comment, glad to have you here :)

Thank you Maria! I’m glad you liked it :)

[@RichardSandilands-sv6te]

How about the highlight and shadow sliders?

[@christopherodonnell]

Hi Richard - You can use highlights and shadows for fine tuning at the end, but typically aren't needed for contrast adjustments.
