Lightroom Tricks and Tips

https://petapixel.com/2018/11/10/10-lightroom-tips-every-photographer-should-know/ This article goes over a few tips for beginners on lightroom. I thought it might be helpful. Auto tone in lightroom: a good way to start. You can adjust from there but it gives you a starting point on the tone. Angle Tool: The angle tool helps straighten photos according to the horizon line. Crop Overlays: You can look at all of the crop options at once to decide what you want. Radial Brush: adds focus to what you want and blurs out the rest. Resets: Click the name of any tool with a slider and it will reset to 0. Luminance: affects certain colors Drawing Straight lines: hold shift when drawing lines and it will make straight lines Virtual copies: make it so you can edit multiple copies without taking up room on your hard drive. Lights out: hit L and everything will be blacked out so you can see just your photos without any clutter.
