RAW Processing
Shooting in RAW will yield the complete, uncompressed data captured by your camera’s sensor. This gives you a ton of flexibility and control in post-production. You’ll be amazed at how much information your camera can actually capture and how easily it can be manipulated to create the exact look and tone you want in your images.
Local Editing
If you’re looking for a tool that’s as versatile as it is precise, the tone curve in Lightroom should be one of your go-to editing staples. From adjusting the luminosity of specific color channels, to adding a vintage fade effect to your shadows and highlights, the tone curve handles it all with ease.
Global Editing
Global edits will affect your entire image. You’ll want to edit globally when you need to adjust things like exposure, highlights and shadows, and the color of your photograph. We’ll walk you through all of the tools in the Develop Module which provide a great foundation when starting your edits.
