Lightroom CC
Workflow Example
All users of Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography Plan get Photoshop
CC, Lightroom Classic CC and the latest Lightroom CC in their monthly
subscription. Let’s take a more detailed look at the mobile focused
version and show you what it’s capable of.
1
Start the process by opening Lightroom CC and, if you
haven't already imported the photos you want to work
with, begin to add new images by clicking the plus symbol
in the top left corner and then clicking on Browse. For our
processing workflow example, we browsed to a Raw file of a
rocky seascape and double-clicked it to continue.3
Ranged down the right side of the screen are the all the
main tools for processing your photos. Click on the Edit
icon (E) to open the image editing tools. The Profile panel
allows you to add a number of preset colour and filter effects
to your image. These effects can be added on top of any
processing adjustments you may have made yourself.2
The ‘rocks.NEF’ file will be imported to Lightroom CC. In
the top right corner of your workspace, click on the Add
1 Photo button to add the image to your current library. You
have the option of importing to any named libraries you may
have created if you want. You can view your most recently
added images under the Recently Added tab.(^4)
Beneath Profile you will find the Light panel. This panel
contains all of the main Exposure and Contrast sliders
for making basic adjustments to your image. We adjusted the
image to brighten it but retained detail in both highlight areas
and shadows. You can adjust all the sliders to get the image
looking precisely how you want it.
