Still, it’s a great time-saver when you want to make a common correction to many photos, such as fixing white balance. Also, you can paste to only one image at a time, not a bunch in one action. Unlike Lightroom Classic CC, however, you don’t have the option of choosing which adjustments to apply when you paste them. Lightroom CC doesn’t include that specific command, but a variation of the feature is there: with the Healing Brush active, press the A key.Ĭopy the edits from one photo and then paste them onto another.Īll of the edit settings are copied and pasted, including linear and radial gradients, Healing brush fixes, and Brush tool strokes. In a similar vein, one great feature in Lightroom Classic CC is the ability, when using the Spot Removal tool, to turn on Visualize Spots and see an inverted, high-contrast version of your image that exposes dust spots and grime. Hold Option/Alt when applying a vignette to see a starker version of the effect that gives you a better idea of where it’s being applied.It’s great for sharpening a person’s facial features, like eyes, without exaggerating the texture of the skin on their cheeks, for instance. A higher Masking value applies the Sharpening setting to contrasting edges, but leaves larger areas alone. Also, in the Sharpening controls, hold Option/Alt while dragging the Masking slider.Similarly, holding the modifier while dragging the Radius and Detail sliders (click the exposure triangle to the right of the Sharpening slider to reveal these finer controls) previews the image as an embossed, high-pass view to see where the settings are affecting the image.In the Detail pane, hold Option/Alt when dragging the Sharpening slider to view a grayscale preview, which helps check for crispness.

When you hold the Option/Alt key and click the name of a pane, such as Light or Color, all of the pane’s sliders are reset to their default values.

When you hover the mouse pointer over a tool name, you can click to reset that tool (the name changes to indicate this, such as “Reset Exposure”).Option/Alt-dragging the Exposure slider reveals areas that have blown out to white.
