If you haven’t already, play around with them a bit, I think you will really like what they can do for you!Īnd just like you can make a preset for importing your photos, you can also make a preset for when you are exporting. If you need to reduce yellows without changing the temperature of the entire photo, color sliders work great. The color option is really powerful and I find myself using it often!! If you have some weird color casts going on in the room (or with grass) you can use the color sliders to reduce those unwanted colors in just the right spots. Be careful though because if you go too far their lips will turn peach and that just never looks right! Works like a charm every time! Another common example is if someone is cold and has really red nose or cheeks sometimes you can use this to reduce the intensity of the red in their skin. I can choose the color option, pick blue and then reduce the blues until I feel the color of the suit is more accurate. Using the COLOR option in the Develop module allows you to 1) reduce certain color casts 2) make certain colors in your photos saturated or less saturated 3) change the actual hue of the color.Ī common example when I use the color option is when I’m editing a black tux or suit from a wedding that is reflecting the blue of the sky so it ends up looking more blue than black. All you need to do is house your LR Catalog in something like dropbox (that is connected to both computers) and then as long as the catalog is synced fully and you have smart previews built, you will be able to edit from both computers! Pro tip! If you want to use two different computers to edit the same photos, LR smart previews will allow you to do this.
All you need to do is select Library from the LR menu>Previews>Build Smart Previews. If you didn’t create smart previews upon import however, you can still use them. LR will create the smart previews upon import and then you are free to unplug the actual raw images from the computer and still work on editing the images. When you import photos into your LR catalog, all you need to do is make sure “create smart previews” is selected in the right hand panel. So if you work on a laptop where you don’t want to keep the photos on the hard drive of the laptop itself, and/or you don’t want to have an external hard drive connected to the laptop (editing while on the couch, can I get an amen!) then smart previews are for you!! Smart previews give you the ability to work on your photos when they are not actually connected to the computer you are working on. I could probably talk about smart previews and how great they are all day.
