Lightroom (Classic) is one of the most popular Raw developers What is Photoshop? In this article, I will show the main differences between these two software packages from Adobe, what they are used for and what you can do in Photoshop that you cannot in Lightroom. Once you've applied your filter, you can adjust the light levels, saturation, and sharpness (among other tools) of that highlighted section.One question that keeps coming from our readers all the time is about Lightroom vs Photoshop – many beginners do not know the differences between Lightroom and Photoshop and have a hard time choosing which one to use. The radial filter does the same thing only in a circular gradient - you can find this under the Masking panel, or next to the graduated filter if you're using an older version of Lightroom. In the image below, the red mask shows which part of the image is affected by the filter, and you can see the adjustments being made in real-time in the thumbnail on the left. If you're using an older version of Lightroom, you can also use the linear/graduated filter for this. To correct this, you can use the Select Sky tool in the Masking panel and Lightroom will find and mask the sky in your image where you can make adjustments as necessary. You can see we lost some of the detail in the highlights in the sky due to brightening the exposure of the whole image. Now that all your global adjustments are done, you can move on to editing specific parts of your image individually. Sharpening (Image credit: Kimberley Lane) Editing individual elements The S-curve darkens the shadows and brightens the highlights, which adds contrast to the image. Different images need different adjustments, however, a gentle S-curve is a great place to start. Experiment with the tone curve and see what results you get. The tone curve tool gives you much more control over the light levels than the sliders. You can also add/subtract from a mask, so if you only want to adjust the tones in a select part of your image, you can brush out the highlighted areas you don't want the mask to affect. Here you can use sliders to select specific tones in your image to give yourself more control over the light levels. For a more visual view of which tones you want to adjust, try out the luminance range tool in the Masking section. You can see the background of the tone curve box mimics the shape of the histogram.
Like the histogram, the left part of the tone curve represents the shadows and darker parts of the image, and the right side represents the lighter tones. Light Exposure (Image credit: Kimberley Lane)Īnother way to adjust the light levels in your image is by using the Tone Curve.
