A Comprehensive Guide to Lightroom

A lot of people think of Lightroom as the place for organizing photos and performing basic edits and Photoshop as the place for more involved and serious edits, and while that is true to a degree, you might be surprised by just how much you can do in Lightroom. This fantastically comprehensive tutorial will show you everything you need to know to edit photos in Lightroom. 

Coming to you from Signature Edits, this awesome video tutorial will show you everything you need to know to edit your images in Lightroom. Over the years, Lightroom has evolved into a powerful tool for editing photos, and while Photoshop is still the place for the most complex and involved post-processing, you can accomplish quite a bit in Lightroom. I generally prefer to stay in Lightroom whenever I can simply to make the process a little more straightforward. In particular, its new masking and color-editing tools are highly powerful and arguably more intuitive than Photoshop's. If you are doing a lot of intricate localized work such as editing a portrait, you will probably want to hop back over to Photoshop, but take the time to explore just how you can push Lightroom. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
