Use Presets To Quickly Reveal The Extraordinary Possibilities Hidden In One Image

Color - Adjustment Comment

Rushing towards perfect, you might miss it. Previsualization (seeing with your mind) is a fine start, but I recommend you use Lightroom to go further and visualize (see with your eyes). After exploring your options fully, you can perfect those results.

You can level up and speed up your game by using Lightroom’s Presets.

(Note, Camera Raw offers Presets that are identical to Lightroom.)

Virtual copies are the easiest way to make side-by-side comparisons.

Presets are the easiest way to preview the many possibilities one image contains.

Presets are also a great way to create a consistent look for two or more images. Once applied, you can tweak settings to optimize individual images while still preserving a unified style.

Presets can record any Edit setting(s) (one, many, or all) and apply them to any other image. A single click can produce results as subtle or dramatic as you like.

The many presets Adobe provides are a great starting point. You can make your own presets by customizing the defaults, by applying someone else’s, or by creating your own from scratch.

How To Use Adobe’s AI Noise Reduction

Technique - Noise Comment

0 Likes

It’s a game-changer – and it will modify your workflow.

When processing image files, noise reduction used to be one of the last things I did; now, it’s the first thing I do, if I plan to use Adobe’s AI Noise Reduction.

When don’t I use it? When I’m processing files with only a little noise and Adobe’s Manual Noise Reduction has no problem getting the task done.

Whenever I encounter substantial image noise, Adobe’s AI Noise Reduction is the best solution currently available, bar none.

It’s really easy to use; that’s an understatement.

Click Denoise and in the new Enhance window set Amount.

Start at 100 and lower the value until edges look crisp and realistic texture is restored.

Applying Denoise will automatically apply Raw Details.

If, and only if, you want to upres an image (4X larger) check Super Resolution.

In many cases it’s unnecessary, but when it’s needed it’s exceptional.

Click Enhance.

The results will be saved in a new DNG file.

When you continue processing the new DNG file, Manual Noise Reduction sliders will be set to zero, but still available, though no longer needed in the vast majority of cases.

You’d think something this sophisticated would be more complicated. It’s not. Welcome to the new world of AI.
