Dramatic Effects
With Lightroom you’re able to tweak and alter
any photo and produce an end result that’s
drastically and dramatically different to its
original. There’s a lot that can be applied to
an image in Lightroom. Of course, you need
to know where to go to apply these effects;
thankfully, we cover this too.
The Tone Curve panel is one of the most powerful tools in Lightroom’s arsenal. It
allows you to selectively alter the relative brightness of different tonal ranges within
an image, but does so smoothly, blending from one tone into another on a curve.
When combined with other effects such as Split Toning it can create some terrific
effects, as seen on this dramatic portrait shot. You can find inforamtion on the tone
curve earlier in this book.BEFOREAFTER112
