Using the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 3

Using the Adjustment Brush in Lightroom 3 from Jared Platt on Vimeo.

I try to stay out of Photoshop as much as possible. Why? Because Photoshop is like an addictive habit and once I am in there, I will spend way too much time on a photograph. So, my general rule of thumb is to only go into Photoshop when someone is paying me to do so.

So, that means that when I have an image that needs just a little bit of help, some of the localized adjustments that I used to do in Photoshop, I must do somewhere else. I can do most of them in Lightroom, without having to open Photoshop, and as a bonus, they are all sync-able from one image to the next.

In this video tutorial, I go through the process of working on an image with the adjustment brush to fix and enhance the image without ever going into photoshop.
