Effortless Edits, Stunning Results.

For our final lesson in the 30 Days of Lightroom series, we’re diving into a bonus segment: exploring Lightroom’s AI features and how they simplify complex edits. Let’s see how artificial intelligence is transforming photo editing.

AI Preset Application

Begin by importing your image and navigating to the Develop module. Expand the Presets panel and explore the Adaptive Presets, which use AI to identify and edit specific elements like sky, subjects, or backgrounds. Select a preset, such as “Adaptive: Sky,” and click through the options to see how they alter your image. Use the amount slider to adjust the intensity of the preset. Repeat this process with other adaptive presets like “Adaptive: Subject” or “Adaptive: Blurred Background” to quickly enhance different aspects of your photo.

Refining AI Edits

To understand the specific changes made by the AI, examine the editing tools on the right-hand side. White AI icons indicate which adjustments have been automatically applied. For example, if lens blur was used, you can fine-tune it by manually painting areas to blur or sharpen. This allows you to customize the AI’s output to your exact preferences, ensuring a polished final image.

Analyzing AI Changes

Remember that adaptive presets are a great starting point, allowing you to quickly achieve professional-looking results. Feel free to combine AI-generated edits with your own manual adjustments to create a unique style. As Lightroom continues to evolve, expect more AI-powered features to be integrated, further simplifying complex editing tasks.

As we conclude this 30-day adventure, we want to express our gratitude to everyone who joined us. We hope the resources, sample images, and step-by-step guides have provided a solid foundation for your Lightroom journey. Remember, the learning doesn’t stop here!
