A Super Useful Post Tool: LR/ACR Local Adjustment Filters — Summary and Practice

Thomas Chu Photo

Local adjustment is the core idea of photo post-processing. In a single photo, different objects and regions — sky, vegetation, rivers — may need their color and brightness adjusted separately.

Both Lightroom (LR) and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) offer three local adjustment tools: the Graduated Filter, the Radial Filter and the Adjustment Brush.

In today's tutorial, using the photo above as an example, Thomas summarizes the differences and usage of these three tools.
