So now let's switch to a different photograph. But you can see we've madeĪ dramatic difference in this image. Then I could always go to the Edit menuĪnd choose Undo or use the keyboard shortcut of Command Z on a Mac,Ĭontrol Z in Windows, to get us back to where we are. I'll press that, and let's see what we started with. If you want to get back to the original pictureįor any reason, in the lower right is a reset button. So I'm going to take the highlight sliderĪnd move it to the left and see if I can get a little bit more detail If they're going to control brightness, moving them to the right will brightenĪnd moving them to the left will darken. So out of those three sliders we just talked about, I'm going use the Highlight slider. The top portion of the image that I don't like and that's one of the brightest areas. So if I look at this particular image, after hitting the Auto button, it's mainly In the bright areas of your picture and Shadows will work on the dark. Exposure will adjust the entire picture, making the entire picture brighter or darker. There are three primary slidersįor controlling how bright the image is. And over time as we work with more images, you'll get more and more comfortable The end result by moving the various sliders that are found It doesn't know which areas are importantĪnd which areas are not. And what it did when I clicked Auto is it moved these various adjustment sliders that are found on the right side of my screen to try to figure out what it thought And in this case, it's a dramatic difference. And I could simply click thatĪnd see if it's able to help the image. On the right side of my screen when I'm in the Develop module. And now if I look at the image as a whole, well it's relatively obvious what's wrong with it. If I want to make my image take up more space, I'm going to collapse it down by clicking on the little triangle
Happens on the right side of your screen. In the Develop module, most of the action I'm going to go to the top of my screen and switch from the Library module which is where we organize our images to the Develop module Here I'm in a Library where I'm going to switchīetween my images and here's one that doesn't look very goodĪt least in the small version here, the little thumbnail. On a fancy camera or just on your mobile phone, Lightroom can adjust them all.
