Welcome to your last FREE Lightroom Classic lesson!

Thanks for joining me for another lesson here…I’ve save the best for last!

This lesson is really special as it covers the adjustment brush – a time-saving tool that can make incredible improvements to your image.

It’s hands down the most frequently used tool I have in my Lightroom workflow.

However, the adjustment brush can be a little tricky to master since there are quite a few settings that control how your brush performs.

Brush size, flow, feather, density…all work together to create specialized brush effects.

But like any tool, if you don’t know how to use them or know what they do, they’re pretty useless.

Here’ what we’ll cover in this comprehensive lesson:

  • How the adjustment brush gives you the power to apply the basic panel locally.
  • The difference between size, feather, flow, and density….and the practical use of these settings to control the quality of your brushwork.
  • How the brush overlay works to guide your brush application.
  • Refining your brushwork with the eraser tool.
  • Layering your brush applications for greater control over your adjustments.
  • Advanced adjustment brush tips and strategies to improve your workflow and brush quality.
