Lightroom is a very interesting complement to make high-quality photo retouching. I don't know if you remember that some time ago we did a kind of mini-course on this with an analysis of the application and an implementation of all the elements and tools that it offers us.
In today's article, within our selection of 100 essential video tutorials, we are going to review this course and also remember some interesting effects for Adobe Photoshop. Remember that you can subscribe to our channel from the following link

In the next video tutorial we will make a short introduction to the famous plugin for Adobe Photoshop known as LightRoom. Although in successive videos we will delve into its functionalities and explain its possibilities to make the most of its performance, we will inaugurate this series of videos with this simple edition.

Starting the Lightroom course completely from scratch to be able to take advantage of all the functionalities that the application provides us. In this first lesson we will see how the work environment works and we will focus on the Library module and on importing files (something that is vitally important to start working, this is the first step to make any adjustments).

In this second lesson we will discuss Development module in LightRoom. Perhaps this is the most important module since this is in some way the operating room and the place where we apply and directly manage our adjustments and effects on the photographs.

On this occasion we are going to review the operation and the possibilities offered by the tone curve adjustment. This option can be very useful to work on the chromatic and light information of our compositions. It is important that we bear in mind that it is strictly related to the histogram module since they both share the same graph and give us similar information about our photographs. This can be very useful because it helps us to work in a more visual or "manual" way with our photographs and to influence the aspects we want in a relatively simple way.

This fantastic application offers us the possibility to exert our influence on the color information in our compositions from different ways. In previous lessons we made reference to the basic adjustments and also to the adjustments through the tone curves (from channels and with classic curves). In the lesson we will discover some more tools to be able to alter and play at another level.

This time we are going to focus on the effect to be adjusted in Detail of the development module. It is an effect widely used and needed above all by professionals in the world of photography, since it can provide us with very good results and mark a before and after in our compositions. Surely you have used some other method to sharpen your photos through applications such as Photoshop, but Do you really know what each parameter means and how it alters the final result?

The lens of our cameras becomes an important element for the final aesthetics of our compositions. In all photographs we use or take we are subject to the optical lens construction that we have used. These lenses usually come with distortion, chromatic aberration and other characteristics that we can correct later in our software. Lighrtoom offers us the possibility by adjusting the lens corrections of the development module. In addition, in this latest version we are allowed to make a correction of the perspective of the shot and it will be very useful for all those who love symmetries.

Are you drawn to the aesthetics of classic horror movies from the 20,30s, 40s and XNUMXs? In the next video tutorial we will see in a very simple way how to create posters with texture and typography of the time, a quite attractive classic film effect.

The Effective Harris Shutter is a 3D effect that you have surely seen more than once. It is a very aesthetic effect that can look great in surreal, futuristic, and psychedelic compositions. We can obtain it either through our Photoshop application or directly through our camera. To do it manually, we will only have to get hold of three color filters. A red filter, another blue filter, and another green filter. We will place the filters at the end of our lens and we will be able to shoot with total freedom. In this video obviously We will see the procedure to follow to achieve the effect through photo manipulation.
