Local Adjustments

Discover how to take your photographs to the next level by enhancing selective areas of a photograph. In this video, Julieanne Kost shares tips, tricks, and techniques for making the most out of Adobe Camera Raw’s new masking tools including automated selections based on Adobe Sensei (Select Subject, Object, Sky, People, and Background), manual painting tools (brush, eraser, linear and radial gradients), and Range Masking (color, luminance, and depth). She also walks through Syncing, Copy/Paste, and using Adaptive Presets – all guaranteed to make your workflow more efficient.

Because Texture, Clarity, and Dehaze can all be used to increase or decrease contrast (including edge contrast) in an image, it’s important to understand the subtle differences between the features in order to combine the enhancements to achieve the results that you’re after.

If you weren’t able to watch Adobe MAX in real time, you can still view many of the sessions and labs on-demand. Below are the links to the two presentations that I made, but be sure to check out all of the other free training and inspirational content on the site! 

I’m pleased to announce that Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) v12.3 has a new, modernized interface,  ISO Adaptive Presets, Local Hue editing and more. 

If you weren’t able to attend Adobe MAX in person, you can still view my Lightroom session “Increase a Photograph’s Impact: Lightroom Classic Advanced Tips and Tricks” on YouTube. 
In this session, you’ll discover how to make your photographs more powerful than ever before by mastering the tools needed to enhance, refine, and add creative effects to your images.
