Lightroom Adjustments


Lightroom Adjustments 




These are some of my favorite Lightroom adjustments in addition to the Basic panel. Lightroom, like Photoshop, offers so much variety and flexibility when working with your images. The best thing is it’s totally non-destructive. If you don’t like the way it looks at any point just check the reset button!

Graduated Filter – works by creating a gradated tonal blend between two points in your image. The graduated filter gives you complete control over the changes you want to make. It’s an effective tool for enhancing the sky in your images.

Clarity Slider – helps bring out texture and brings out midtone contrast.

HSL Panel – Adjust color sliders in this panel as needed; decrease the aqua and blue sliders to make a blue sky bluer.

Angle Tool – found under “Crop and Straighten” and straightens the entire image.

Dehaze Slider – increases contrast and brings out tones in an image

Flip – flip horizontal to change the perspective of an image.

Blue Primary Slider – adds warmth and evens out skin tones. Also, decreasing Blue Luminance in the HSL Panel adds warmth.

Distortion Slider – gives a Fisheye appearance to an image and creates a rounded horizon.

Temperature – decreasing the temperature cools the image; increasing decreasing the temperature warms the image

Lens Correction – I always check the enable lens profile corrections box to remove any lens distortion. You might need to set a lens profile if you’ve not done so previously.

Travel Adventures 2023

Travel Adventures 2023 – So many places to go!   This year my husband and I traveled to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park. I took lots of pictures but could only choose a few for this blog. I’ve included a little information about each location we visited, along with a few pictures. Enjoy! Reno is a city in the northwest section of the U.S. state of Nevada, along the Nevada-California border, about 22 miles (35 km) north from Lake Tahoe, known as "The Biggest Little City in the World". Known for its casino and tourism industry. We stayed at the Nugget Casino & Resort...and no, I did not put any money in the slot machines!!! :-) What's a vacation with shopping - the  Outlets at Legends  proved to be more than shopping. Then off to  Virginia City.   Lake Tahoe is located on the border of California and Nevada. About two-thirds of the lake is in California, with about one-third extending into Nevada at the north and south ends of the lake, and the entire

Happy Labor Day!

  Labor Day is an annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers. It is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. The holidays stem from the late 1800s when labor activists wanted a federal holiday to recognize workers' contributions to the country.   The first U.S. Labor Day was celebrated on Tuesday, September 5, 1882 in New York City, planned by the Central Labor Union.  The Labor Day parade of about 10,000 workers took unpaid leave and marched from City Hall past Union Square uptown to 42nd street and ended in Wendel’s Elm Park at 92nd Street and 9th Avenue for a concert, speeches, and a picnic. Oregon was the first to declare Labor Day an official holiday in 1887. Labor Day is considered the 'unofficial NFL season kickoff.' 99.44 percent of the ti
