I hope this helped you understand contrast, and the various ways it can be adjusted within Lightroom. Also! This is the final week to enter the 5000 subscriber Q&A Giveaway, so make sure you check out the description for that video!

I am so thrilled to learn this no-one-would-ever-teach contrast lesson. Really get me out of confusion over texture, clarity, and dehaze !

[hurleygreen]

LOVE this information! I use Texture most, and Clarity causes more of a gritty look...and they BOTH have their uses...Thanks for this video

[binnghiem]

thank you for your tip. texture for smail, crality for medium, dehaze for large. i alway use dehaze instead of contrast. but dahaze will
push colors more satruation.
in some cases i need to use color in color mixer to
Reduce the satruation

I just upgraded to LrC CC from Lr Version 3.0 (!!) and thus only knew Clarity so far, but Texture and Dehaze where completely new to me, but you just explained it so perfectly in under 10 Minutes that it even made me understand much more about Clarity now, which I thought I knew and understood for many years – THANK YOU SO MUCH!!🤗

[TNTchicken]

I love your videos, as you break down the finer details about how the different sliders actually work. Please make more amazing content like this!!!

[RobBrens]

I don't think there's been a single video from this channel that hasn't been incredibly helpful. Great work!

[geronimoflyingfree]

Loved this tutorial Anthony! Straightforward and practical! 😊 Wanted to point out though, that clarity and dehaze affect the colors as well. Not a problem at all, but I feel like it's something one wants to keep in mind... 😊

[FelipeGamesd]

Man, that video gave me a New perspective to edit my photos, i learned a New thint, thanks a lot

[woodygreen]

I wasn't clear about the texture adjustment, and this cleared it up. Thanks.

[jitomingo]

This is by far the best explanation on this

[Agneaustick]

I wish I could know this when I started Lr. Thank you so much!

[matlynwood]

Great video Anthony, you have made a subscriber to your chanell. thanks for your content I am originally from the GTA born and raised in Brampton. I now live in Edmonton you the new capital of smoke, as the fires get bad it is so hard to get out and shoot anything and especially Landscape photos as our blue Skies have gone from beautiful Blue to different shadesof grey on a daily basis and be told to stay home. I hope you have a great May 24 a d keep up the great work.

[Spykyportable]

[ChitraArtStudio]

Another great video Anthony (you`v got 250-th like from me, grats), everyone could easily understand using of this three powerfull sliders in Lr. I have one suggestion for you for some next tutorials according to this exellent tutorial, to go deeply here in some tonal issues. You could compare or give some recommendation or direction when to use some tools - curves, when contrast slider or black & white slider, or how to use combination, etc. I am not a beginner in Lr and Ps, far from it, but I I'm not sure that I understand all the way why one tool in Lr is better than another (I know that depends and could be different for every image) in the postprocessing. For some tools I know exactly why i need it but sometimes I am not sure. I notice that many Lr users use the exposure, and others do not even touch it, some use the contrast slider, but others avoid it and try to achieve the right contrast using higlights & shadows, white & black sliders and curves avoiding the contrast slider. I know that you can get some results in Lr in diverse ways like in Ps, and I know that editing is like cooking! Different chefs have their own recipes, but I its good to know some principles about that isuess like in this video (about texture, clarity and dehaze), but it could be very hard to find that on the Internet. It would be nice to cover this topics through examples, like here, on your channel. Cheers and keep going! 🏆🏆🏆
