Lightroom 5 Essentials - 03: Develop Module Basics with Chris Orwig


Number 3 in a series of 6 courses.





This installment of Lightroom 5 Essentials shows how to boost the quality of your images—their
color, tone, saturation, and brightness—and restore seemingly "lost" detail using the powerful
Develop module in Adobe Lightroom. Beginning with a review of the module's tools and features,
author Chris Orwig guides you, step by step, through detailed adjustments such as changing color
temperature, correcting white balance, and fixing under- and overexposure problems. Find out how
to improve images through clarity adjustments, as well as how to convert color images into black
and white. Lastly, see how to save time by synchronizing your adjustments across multiple images,
setting up and using custom presets, and working with virtual copies.
