Lightroom-2-for-Android

Adobe Lightroom for Android 2.0 arrived today and offers the first end-to-end RAW mobile photography solution.

Lightroom 2.0 for Android features an in-app camera that supports DNG format capture from your device. Additionally, it adds shoot-through presets that allow you to preview your shots with presets enabled but still non-destructively edit them after capture.

The new Android version also gets Lightroom’s dehaze tool to adjust the appearance of haze and fog in images. It also gets the Targeted Adjustment Tool and Point mode in the curve tool for more precise control of your workflow. Additionally, Split Toning enhancements enable the addition of color casts to highlights and shadows.

You can download Lightroom 2.0 for Android here in the Google Play Store.

How to Fix Too Much Red on Faces Using Only Lightroom

By 3 Comments

Here’s a quick video in which I walk through a very simple technique for correcting too much red in faces using just Lightroom.

I picked this tip up from Aaron Nace’s tutorial on a similar technique in Photoshop. I generally try to avoid going to Photoshop if it is something I can deal with in Lightroom. It’s just faster and a preferred piece of software for me.

If you need to do this in Photoshop, check out this Phlearn video for an explanation of how to accomplish this inside Photoshop, where you’ll have much more control in isolating colors.
