Anthony, these weren't stupid at all. They were SWEET.
Short and Sweet. Way to go.

[papalazarou]

Not stupid at all, learned 3 new techniques. Thank you 😀

Tip #2 is totally non-intuitive, yet it works. Like you, Anthony, I don't know why it works but it does. Keep the "Stupid Tips" series going forward. The name alone is a winner. Thanks Anthony.

I do the radial gradient differently. I subtract the subject, but your way may be better. I'll try it out. I learned something new about the background color. I've been limiting myself to changing temp, tint and hue. Thanks for that tip !!!

Making the exposure panel larger is a game changer!

Anthony - on a PC, using LR Classic v13.4, holding the ALT key does not enable making the panel wider - tried in both Library and Develop modules - it stops where it always has - at about 20% or the screen.

Brilliant! All tips were amazingly simple and very useful. Thank you.

I did not know numbers 2 and 3. They will be a great help. Thanks so much Anthony!!

I tried your technique of a spot light behind the subject. Shot outdoors with foliage as my subject in the foreground. Created a radial mask. Inverted, but instead of sky I used background to intersect. Sky was not an option. Background was more foliage, but it still worked great!

[eddyhate]

with the background spot light do it simpler, do your gradient and after go in the menu and subtract subject or person and it will only be on the background

This is super helpful. Please do some more. Thanks as always.
