Coming to you from Noealz - Anime Photography, this excellent video tutorial will show you how to edit a photo using Lightroom. Most people think of Lightroom as the place for cataloging and organizing photos and Photoshop as the place for editing them, but you might be surprised by just how much you can get done in Lightroom, saving you the need to round-trip to Photoshop. In fact, I generally prefer to keep my edits in Lightroom if possible; it saves time and is generally less tedium than going back and forth between Photoshop.

Check out the video above for the full rundown.
