Version 13.5 brings improved stability and faster image transfer rates for supported Nikon, Canon, and Sony cameras.
Beyond the basics, these advanced tools will add artistry to your images. 79. Point Color is a game-changer for creative grading. Open the Color Mixer, select Point Color, and click on a color. The entire range of that color is displayed, and you can edit its Hue, Saturation, or Luminance across the whole image with a single control. 80. Color Grading: Use the color wheels to add a split-tone effect or a cinematic mood. Adjust the Blend slider to control how much the colors overlap and the Balance slider to offset the effect towards shadows or highlights. 81. Masking + Point Color: Combine these! Create a mask (e.g., just the sky) and then use Point Color within that mask to change the sky's color while leaving the rest of the photo untouched. 82. Masking + Color Grading: Use a luminance range mask to color grade only the shadows or only the highlights for a more nuanced effect. 83. For landscape photos, use a Linear Gradient mask on the sky and decrease Highlights/Whites while increasing Dehaze to add drama. 84. Use a Radial Gradient to create a subtle vignette that darkens the edges but also draws the eye into the subject. 85. The new Lens Blur tool is also a creative powerhouse. Add it in stages: apply a subtle blur to the midground and a stronger blur to the background by layering masks. 86. Don't forget the Effects panel! Post-Crop Vignetting is an excellent way to add the final touch to a subject. adobe lightroom classic 2024 135 best
