Controlling Tone & Dynamic Range with Lightroom: VIDEO

by Gavin Seim: It’s amazing how much information is in files coming from today’s cameras. I do a lot of HDR photography, but I’ve also been working to bring out dynamic range on single files. I can actually pull out more tones using LR than I can in Photoshop.

Today I recorded a quick video to look at brushes masking and Luminance tools to control tones. There’s an HQ download version on Seim Effects. I’ll also be speaking on LR at the PPW Fall Conference so if you’re in the region stop by. Why am I still typing? The video explains it all.

  1. Great post! This certainly address some of the issues for which I would bring an image into photoshop. Hopefully, I can stay in LR more often now.

  2. Gavin, this is a fantastic post and as you do on Pro Photo Show, your explanation is well structured. Thanks for the Vid. I’m only just beginning to enjoy Lightroom after so many years of photoshop.
