Mastering the Lightroom Adjustment Brush

on Mar 7th 2013 with 4 comments

Lightroom is the most powerful tool for managing archives and editing photos by the hundred. However, many photographers still prefer Photoshop for the ability to edit small, local areas of the photo. Although Lightroom doesn’t have pixel level editing powers, its adjustment brush feature lets us apply edits to selected regions of photos. Today, I’ll give you a complete course on using the adjustment brush.

    Fantastic Tutorial, it’s made a huge difference in my processing workload. I even find myself moving more and more away from HDR bracketed shots now that I have this level of control from a single raw.

    Thx for this tutorial – great usability!
    You should give the “mask” function of the adjustment brush a try. Its a great tool to highlight areas, while the neighbor areas will not be affected. it was also there in LR 3.6, but since LR 4 it works realy great.

    Great Tutorial. I never heard of that tool. It will definitively improve the way I process editing. Thank you
