Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 D

This is yet another post in my series on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3. First of all on the left side of the screen in either the library or develop tabs is the presets. There are many of these preset s can settings for photos and often you can search for more on the internet which can be easily imported. You can also create your own and once you are finished with the settings title it and click create. On the right side of the screen are the light levels. You can select HSL which stands for Hue, Saturation & Luminosity  and these are some of the settings under this. Saturation is the intensity of colour and luminosity is the brightness and counteracts the colour intensity when at a high setting. There is a line graph to help with adjusting the light levels and a simple left click on the graph adds a control point to help adjust it. A right click brings up a menu to remove the control point but click on the control point. A right click on the area surrounding the graph brings up a menu to reset the graph. There is also the histogram a series of bar charts showing light levels. You can also adjust things like white balance along with the various colours  There is an eyedropper tool which you can click on a colour or one of the preset colours to reset neutral. You can also go from one picture to another and click on previous to apply settings applied to a previous picture to another picture. Bear in mind once these settings are updated again they change. You can also use synch to synchronize the settings on one picture with another. You can also use auto synch where you select several pictures which are continually updated as one picture is changed. As well as a HSL tab there is a color & black and white tabs on the right portion of the screen. To see what one slider does you can slide to to the end and it will show you a preview on screen. Many of the sliders do a very similar job to each other. You can reset the slider by either double clicking or control + clicking it. That's all for now.
