Lightroom Tutorial Series, Adjustment Brush to Make Images Pop

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am going to offer a video that shows the use of the Adjustment Brush - to make your images pop.
It’s 2 a.m. here in Vegas, and I have been really busy at Photoshop World, my kids birthday, and planning for a workshop that I am co-hosting tomorrow for 100 people (at PSW). Just as I was going to lay down for bed, I remembered that I needed to do a blog post for today. Well, I figured I would offer you folks a taste of what I will be teaching tomorrow, in my portion of the class. So without further adieu here is the video.
I hope you like it and learn how I like to use Lightroom. Thanks for taking time to visit my blog. Thomas Shue


Thanks for the great tips, Thomas. I was struggling with masking in LR3 this weekend, and your video answered my questions! It is so helpful to see the different Lightroom tools in use, and the videos are short enough to easily digest in one sitting. Keep up the great work.
Have you done a tutorial on adjusting and correcting white balance in Lightroom? I’d like to know the best techniques. I often shoot with Auto White Balance and find that the photos need to be adjusted in post to gain consistency.
This is a post on why you don’t use AWB.

Here is a post on white balance in lightroom.

If you look in the top right corner of the screen there is a magnifying glass, if you click it, it opens and allows you to enter a search. I typed AWB only and it came back with white balance info that I have uploaded. I hope these videos will help, if not let me know I will make a specific post to address your request.
Thanks, Tom! I appreciate the links and look forward to checking them out.
