ACR/Lightroom Changes and Adjustment Tips

In this lesson, I cover some new features that were recently added to Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom (guided transformations and smart preview defaults). I then talk about tips related to applying adjustments to isolated areas of an image using the adjustment brush, graduated filter or radial filter. I finish with an advanced tip on how to try to extract the mask that you might create in Lightroom and use it within Photoshop.

Note: At least one of the downloadable practice images is compressed using ZIP. Double-click to expand before attempting to use.

Note: This lesson does not have a PDF companion guide available. We include PDFs with all new lessons and will add them to lessons in our archive as time permits.
