Software How To

There’s a vast array of plugins from third-party vendors for augmenting the capabilities of whatever image-editing software you use. In the tutorial below you’ll discover what one expert calls “the best” choice for both Lightroom and Photoshop.

Earlier this week we featured an easy five-minute fix for poorly exposed photos using Layer Masks in Lightroom. But that simple task provided just a taste of what these powerful tools can do.

Photographing our feathered friends can be difficult for those new to the game, and editing the results can be equally challenging if you’re not confident about your post-processing skills. If your past results are disappointing, the tutorial below will be a big help.

Lightroom masks are very effective for quickly fixing photos that are improperly exposed, like when some areas in the scene are too dark or too bright, or perhaps even both when shooting in mixed light.

If you’re looking for a free high-quality photo editor because you can’t afford costly software like Photoshop or Lightroom you’ve come to the right place. In barely eight minutes you'll learn about the best currently available options in the quick video below.
