EDITING SKILLS: LIGHTROOM

Dig deeper with Tone Curve in Lightroom

Apply targeted detail recovery using the Parametric Tone Curve

LIGHTROOM TUTORIAL

The Shadows and Highlights sliders are fantastic controls for recovering detail in Lightroom, but they can sometimes be a blunt instrument when dealing with high-contrast images. But when combined with the Point Curve and Parametric Tone Curve, your ability to target detail recovery to specific tonal ranges is greatly increased. It’s safe to say that there’s more to the Tone Curve than meets the eye.

SHOT OF THE MONTH
About the shot: “Newhaven never disappoints when there are strong winds. The ideal conditions are high tide and a strong easterly or westerly wind – and on this day, I was not disappointed. The west side of the harbour offers good perspectives by including the curving harbour wall. The wind made it difficult to stand still whilst composing the shot, however, once I had my position sorted, it was just a question of waiting for the right wave.”
