- [Instructor] There are some creative effects
that you can apply in Lightroom Classic.
For example, here I have a photo,
and if I go to the Develop module,
I could drag the temperature or tint slider
for an abstract color effect.
But when you're feeling creative,
the best place to take a photo is to Photoshop,
where you can apply filters, adjustments,
styles and lots more, to enhance a photo.
So let's take this photo from Lightroom Classic
over to Photoshop and see some of the ways
that we can enhance it.
I'll go up to the Photo menu
and I'll choose Edit In..., Edit in Adobe Photoshop.
I'm going to choose Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments
and click Edit.
Here in Photoshop, the first thing I'm going to do
is add an adjustment layer.
I'll go down to the bottom of the layers panel
and I'll click the create new adjustment layer icon.
And I'm going to choose this adjustment,
which you may not have used before,
the Color Lookup adjustment.
In the properties panel, I'll click this top menu,
Load 3D LUT, and here is a list
of some really interesting looks
that you can add to a photo.
Each one is kind of like a preset.
So if I go down and just pick one at random
like Crisp_Warm_look, there's the result.
I'll close the Properties panel
because I want to make sure you understand
that this is a non-destructive, flexible adjustment layer.
And that means it doesn't directly impact
the photo on the layer below.
So you could throw this away,
you could reopen by double-clicking this icon
and make some adjustments in the Properties panel,
you could use the layer mask that comes
with every adjustment layer to hide part of this adjustment
from part of the image by just painting over that area
with black on the layer mask.
So there's a lot you can do
with flexible adjustment layers in Photoshop.
Now, let's add another adjustment layer on top of this one.
I'll go back to the create new adjustment layer button
and, this time, I'll choose Photo Filter.
Photo filters are similar to the kind of filters
you may use on the front of your DSLR lens.
Each of these changes the color of the image in some way.
So I'm going to come down and choose deep red,
and that added a red tint on top of the other effects
that we already have.
By the way, leave Preserve Luminosity checked
when you apply a photo filter
and don't forget that you change the density
of the filter too, if you want to.
Let's add one more adjustment layer.
This time, I'm going to choose Gradient Map.
Now, I'm choosing Gradient Map, not Gradient.
And in the Properties panel, click the arrow
to the right of the gradient
and then click the settings icon and go down
and choose a different set of preset gradient maps.
Let's choose the Photographic Toning group
and click OK.
This group has lots of interesting options
for photographers.
So look how the image changes
as I click on these different photographic toning gradients.
(mouse clicking)
So that's just a sampling
of how you can get creative in Photoshop
by just applying things
that are built in to this amazing program.
There are also filters to explore, layer styles,
brush presets and lots more.
Now, before we save this back to Lightroom,
I can decide to turn some of these effects off
or to rearrange them.
And you can experiment, too,
to get just the look that you like.
When you're done, go to the File menu,
choose Save and then you can close this image
and return to Lightroom.
Back in Lightroom, we now have two versions of this image.
Here's the version, the tif,
that we just saved from Photoshop.
And right next to it is the original jpg.
And you can always undo that or change that
to add more on top of this image.
So you basically have two pathways to follow.
And that's just a quick look
at some of the many creative effects that you can apply
to a Lightroom Classic photo by taking it over to Photoshop.
