Coming to you from Teppo Haapoja, this excellent video will show you five tricks to improve your images and make your workflow a bit quicker in Lightroom. One trick I use in almost every photo is the radial filter. I like to add a bit of vignette to almost all my images to draw attention to the subject, but the problem with doing this from the effects tab is that the vignette will always be dead center. On the other hand, it's pretty rare that my subject is located right in the middle of a shot. By using the radial filter, I can place the vignette wherever I want and control its size and intensity as well. It's a great way to help guide your viewer's eye. Just be sure to feather the adjustment so it blends seamlessly into the rest of the photo.
