Most photographers understand why shooting in Raw provides maximum image detail and other key attributes that contribute to ultimate image quality. Another benefit of using this format is that it delivers far more control during the image-editing process.

Have you ever captured a great image, edited it perfectly, uploaded it to the web or made a print, and then said to yourself "that's not how I remember this photo looking after post processing?" If so, it's possible that the Lightroom Export settings were incorrect for the way you intended to share the shot.

Whenever Adobe updates their software  it seems like one or two features grab all the headlines, like Photoshop's recent Lens Blur capabilities. At the same time, other powerful tools tend to be overlooked as you'll see in this tutorial from our friends at PiXimperfect .

We all strive to capture photos in which the primary subject of a scene is full of detail and properly exposed. Today, however, you'll learn a different approach whereby the subject is shy on detail but full of drama and impact.
