Hey everyone, @benjamin_warde here, welcome back to #LightroomLessons . One way to really make your photos look their best is to sharpen them up a little (especially if you want to print the photo - does anyone besides me still do that?) But when you sharpen your photo ALL the details get brought out - the good stuff that you want, and the bad stuff that you don’t want (like camera noise). Swipe through the mini tutorial to learn the secret Lightroom trick for sharpening only the stuff you actually want to be sharpened!⁠⠀ •⁠⠀ Step 1:⁠⠀ First, make sure you’re in Edit mode.⁠⠀ •⁠⠀ Step 2:⁠⠀ Scroll the edit controls until you see Detail and tap on that.⁠⠀ •⁠⠀ Step 3:⁠⠀ To sharpen the image, drag the Sharpening slider to the right until the image looks good to you. (Bonus tip - double tap on your photo to zoom in so that you can really see the effects of the sharpening.)⁠⠀ •⁠⠀ Step 4:⁠⠀ Here’s the problem - in a big, smooth area with no fine details, there’s nothing to sharpen except noise, so when I increase the sharpening it just makes that big, beautiful sky look super gnarly. (I’ve zoomed in here so that you can see just how bad it looks.)⁠⠀ •⁠⠀ Step 5:⁠⠀ We can fix this! The Masking slider allows us to mask the image so that only part of the image is sharpened. When the Masking slider is at 0, the entire image gets sharpened. As you move the slider to the right, only the most prominent details in the photo get sharpened, and big smooth areas like our sky get left alone.⁠⠀ •⁠⠀ Step 6:⁠⠀ But there’s another problem - it can be hard to tell just how far to move that masking slider. So here’s the secret trick: use TWO fingers to move the masking slider. When you do this, it shows you the mask while you’re dragging the slider. Areas that are white will be sharpened. Areas that are black will not be sharpened. In this case, I just moved the slider up until the sky was all black, but all the details in the water were still white. (Bonus tip - if you’re using Lightroom on a computer you can show the mask by holding down the option key (Mac) or alt key (Windows) while dragging the Masking slider.)
