Adobe Lightroom Print Module

To facilitate making quick adjustments to individual and groups of Images while in the Library Module of Adobe Lightroom the following tools are available in the Quick Develop Panel.

The Preset selector for Default Settings or choose from Cyanotype, Direct Positive, Flat, Grayscale Conversion, Lightroom Defaults, Tone Curve - Lightroom Defaults, Tone Curve - Linear Contrast, Tone Curve - Medium Contrast, Tone Curve - Strong Contrast, Antique Grayscale, and Sepia Tone. You may have noticed that the Custom Preset settings from the Develop Module are not available in the Quick Develop panel.

The White Balance selector for As Shot or choose from Multiple (for a group of images that were shot under different lighting conditions), Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Shade, Tungsten, Flourescent, Flash, and Custom.

Exposure can be set Auto or adjusted up or down and recentered.

Brightness can be adjusted up and down and recentered.

 


Contrast can be adjusted up and down and recentered.

Saturation can be adjusted up and down and recentered.

A check box is provided for Convert Photograph to Grayscale. The result is not bad, but I suggest either setting up a Preset that works for you in the Develop module, or using the full Grayscale Mixer in the Develop Module.

Copy Settings (made to an image) can be selected. A dialog box comes up that allows you to choose from all the Develop tools and chose those that you want to copy from the image selected.

Paste Settings can be applied to another image after settings have been copied from an image.


Synchronize allows you to synchronize the settings for a large group of images. A dialog box comes up that allows you to choose from all the Develop tools and chose those that you want to use to synchronize a group of images from the image selected.

Copy Previous is for quite simply copying the settings from the previous image to be developed, without having to first Copy Settings from the previous image.

The RESET button allows you to start over from Default Setting on an image. I find that I use this button a lot to start over from all settings, it makes it easy not to have to worry about overdoing it with any setting.

 

The last button is Continue work in the Develop module .....


P.S. Please do not get upset if your personal experience and views are different from my own. These opinions are mine exclusively and do not reflect the views or policies of any of the manufacturers mentioned in this article...... George Mann
