How to Harness the Hidden Power of Before & After Previews in Lightroom (Shutterbug Video)

Most photographers who use Adobe’s Lightroom know that it gives you the ability to see “before and after” previews of editing effects on your images. But there’s probably a lot more to Lightroom’s Before and After tools than you know.

Scott Kelby, Shutterbug’s resident Lightroom expert, is here to explain some of the hidden power of “before and after” in the below video for us. Watch as Kelby walks you through the surprising variety of ways you can see how Lightroom’s editing tools will show you the before and after transformations of your images.

The below clip is the latest in a series of photography how-to videos Kelby has created exclusively for Shutterbug’s readers. Here are three other recent videos he's done for us:
