In this episode I’m sharing with you three Lightroom tools that don’t get nearly enough love (or at least not the way we normally use them!).
Whether you are new to Lightroom Classic, or like me, you’ve been using it for over a decade (!) I think there are always new ways to use the tools to perfect and polish your photos.
Inside, I’m sharing the sneaky-smart ways I use a few underrated tools to make people's portraits pop — without spending hours on them.
So if you’re ready to edit with more purpose (and way less confusion), tune in!
HERE’S THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
1️⃣ How to use the White Balance Dropper tool for three different pro-level tweaks (yep, it’s not just for finding a gray card!)
2️⃣ My no-guesswork method for setting the perfect exposure (and avoiding that “did I overdo it?” spiral)
3️⃣ Why the RGB numbers are your new best friends when it comes to skin tones
4️⃣ The tool I use to add pop, depth, and intentional color toning
5️⃣ My go-to tool for creating the perfect vignette and darkening backgrounds like a boss
