Lesson overview
The adjustments you learned about in the previous lesson are global—they affect the entire photo. To accentuate a certain area, you can perform local adjustments. Lightroom includes an impressive array of tools for this purpose. By mastering and maximizing these techniques in Lightroom, you’ll spend less time in Photoshop.
In this lesson you’ll learn how to:
Adjust skies and foregrounds using the Graduated Filter.
Create custom vignettes using the Radial Filter.
Use the Adjustment Brush and Range Mask tools to apply targeted adjustments.
Remove distractions with the Spot Removal tool.
Convert a color photo to black and white, and apply effects like split-toning, vignettes, and grain.
