Lightroom: Gradients
Let me just show you one other thing that we can do with these photos to make them really nice to begin with. I'm gonna go into, I have three tools up here. One is a brush tool. One is a gradient tool and one is a radio gradient tool. These tools allow us to adjust individual areas of the photograph rather than the entire photograph at the same time. So I'm gonna go into the linear gradient, click on that and I'm going to, I'm gonna reset all of these dials so that they're exactly, they're at zero and all I want to do is bring the exposure down just a little bit and I'm gonna grab, over here at the bottom left-hand corner of my screen, I'm gonna click and drag up so I'm dragging a gradient up across the corner of the photograph. Now anything that I do on these sliders on the right-hand side inside of my linear gradient tool is gonna happen at 100% down at the bottom left-hand corner and it's gonna get to 0% right here at the edge of the top of that gradient. So I can simply grab that e...
xposure and bring it down and you can see how I can kind of fix an area that's a little too bright and just bring that back under control.

I wish more people would present this way! Each step from beginning to end demonstrated in short, concise and useful actions. Every tool and technique is something that I either use, (now better) or will start using because I now understand how to use it efficiently. I highly recommend this course!

Finally, a video tutorial that taught me what I've known on basic level and truly explore how to use it properly and what everything means. I've been waiting for something like this for awhile now. Greatly improves my technique now so thank you for this!
