Here we’ve got the same, old underexposed image. After one more post, we just might be done with it for good. But I felt that to really see the unique aspects of each brightening tool in Lightroom, we should work with the same image throughout. If you jumped in here…
If you’ve been following along with our tutorial about , you may no longer think this is a nice picture. You may be sick and tired of looking at it. Well… too bad! So far, we’ve looked at how the Exposure slider and the Fill Light settings can brighten an…
We’ve got a decent image here. Nice posing and facial expressions. I love the two guys clasping hands on the right-hand side. There’s just one problem. The picture is a tad dark. Sure could use a little fill light. Hey, wait a minute… doesn’t Lightroom have a setting called “Fill…
This picture is nice, but we’ve got a little problem. It’s a tad dark. Not severely underexposed, but the curtains are thoroughly blacked out and the subjects are a little underexposed – maybe one to two stops. How do we fix it? The first tool we’ll look at is the…

Previously, I wrote about the . To briefly recap, a “stop” is a relative term describing how well-lit and well-exposed the image is. Adjusting the camera settings to increase the light by “one stop” will effectively double the amount of light in the picture (either by opening the aperture, raising…
Yesterday, I wrote about the lighting set up I used at a fashion shoot I did at Branch Brook park. I included an example of a picture where the key light didn’t fire; the flash hadn’t recycled yet. What I didn’t do was show you the original image. Here it…
Here’s a quick technique you can use in Lightroom to create a subtle effect that enhances the focus on your subject. What we’ve got here is a decent outdoor portrait on a sunny day. The model, Joel, was lit from camera right, but it can be hard to get just…
