Technique LIGHTROOM UPDATES

NEW LIGHTROOM UPDATES: SIX OF THE BEST

The Texture slider

This new slider in Lightroom Classic and CC

affects mid-range detail in an image, letting

you either enhance textures and surfaces or

smooth them out with a negative setting. As

well as the option to apply Texture universally,

you can use it in combination with the local

adjustment tools.

New Home on mobile

Lightroom for IOS/Android has a new home

screen. Alongside your recently added photos

you will fi nd an array of tutorials and image

inspiration – with advice on how each image

was edited, step by step. The home screen

will soon appear in the desktop version of

Lightroom CC too.

Defringe in CC

New to the cloud-based Lightroom CC

desktop app, the Defringe command helps

remove colour fringing. Found under the

Optics tab, it offers more control than ‘Remove

Chromatic Aberration’, with a ‘Fringe Selector’

that allows you to sample a colour from the

fringing you would like to remove.
