Getting Up to Speed Fast on the New Lightroom

Description

• If you understand why RAW and JPEG files look so much different from each other when they come out of your camera, then it helps to understand why they look so different when they appear in Lightroom. This is more important than it sounds (and it will you get this whole profiles thing).
• Adobe created a new default RAW profile (the first new one in 11 years, called Adobe Color, and he’s why it’s better, and how to apply it and other RAW profiles options at the start of your editing workflow.
• Here’s how to use Auto Sync to convert a whole collection (or Folder) full of images that you already had in Lightroom to this new updated Adobe Color default look for your RAW images.
• Here’s how to access the previous RAW profiles from older versions of Lightroom.
• It’s a whole new world when it comes to converting to Black and white now, thanks to these newly introduced B&W profiles, and a hidden B&W panel that only appears once you’ve converted to black and white.
• Adobe relocated Dehaze to the Basic panel, and here’s how Dehaze works on its own globally and why you sometimes might want to apply it using the Adjustment Brush instead.
• Here’s how to use the newly added Upright and Guided upright features.
• Besides the newly released features, there are some important other features added in the past few months that Scott included, including converting Folders into Collections; creating Collections from Map Pins, and using the new AI-machine-enhanced Auto feature (and how to tweak it for better results).
