How to Use Lightroom’s Color Mixer

Scott Kelby — Tue, 23 Jul 2019 08:16:31 +0000

It’s named the Color Mixer in Lightroom CC (the Cloud version), and simply the Color Panel in Lightroom Classic, and the video above (from Adobe’s own Michelle Wei & Josh Haftel), shows how to adjust individual colors using the panel.

NOTE: Their tutorial is using Lightroom CC (the cloud version), but the HSL / Color Panel works the same way in Lightroom Classic, but the interface looks slightly different (click directly on the word ‘Color’ in HSL / Color). Across of the top of CC’s panel are color swatches in circles; in Classic they’re rectangles. Click on one of those rectangles in Classic and you’ll see the same sliders appear that you see in the video.

Thanks Michelle and Josh.

Hope you have a better-than-average Tuesday!

Lightroom Photo Books: How to Use The New Custom-Layout Feature

Scott Kelby — Tue, 19 Feb 2019 08:16:25 +0000

Well, it’s only new because it came out so silently last summer, but it’s probably the biggest thing to happen to photo books since they were introduced. Check out Benjamin Warde’s new video above (it’s less than 60-seconds) and if you’ve ever made a Lightroom Photo Book, you’ll see why this is so awesome!

Thanks, Benjamin!

Here’s to a kick-butt Tuesday!
