#Lightroom Quick Tips - Episode 14: Quick & Easy White & Black Points

This is the fourteenth episode of Lightroom Quick Tips where I give a single, quick Lightroom tip.

In my video series, "Learn Lightroom 5", I demonstrated two different ways to set the white and black points -- one method involved holding in the Alt/Option key to find the points and the other involved using the clipping points of the histogram. In this video, I demonstrate a third way -- the easiest way to set the white and black points.

Fabulous tip: who knew?!  And great explanation of exposure in camera vis a vis exposure slider.  Thanks as always for your clear, concise videos, and your really nice manner.  Your videos are the best, just catching up with a few I missed.

Wow, so much simpler, thank you very much! I always used the first method by holding ALT. This way is so much faster :)

[DestoDelta]

just found your channel. subbed and all! very very useful thank you!!! I haven't checked but is there anyway to blacken out or whiten out completely a background like in portraits at the beginning of your series?
