Three Lightroom Tricks You Might Not Have Seen Before

Lightroom is an intricate program with a wide variety of functions, and it can be easy to overlook some of its features. This fantastic video will show you three lesser-known Lightroom tricks that are really useful in a variety of scenarios. 

Coming to you from Anthony Morganti, this excellent video will show you three Lightroom tricks you might not have seen before. One I really loved was the proportional graduated filter adjustment. I frequently use graduated filters to add multiple adjustments at the same time (such as exposure, highlights, shadows, etc.), and often, I will end up wanting to dial back the overall effect a bit. The problem is that I then have to do some quick mental math to keep the proportion between each adjustment constant. In addition to keeping track of the numbers, it can be a bit tedious, especially if you want to adjust the effect multiple times. On the other hand, the proportional adjustment trick makes it far easier and quicker to adjust the total effect. It is one of those tricks that leaves you wondering why you did not learn it years ago! Check out the video above for more great tricks.
