9 Tips for Beginners to master Lightroom Mobile

1. Dynamic Range: 

You can adjust the “Dynamic Range” using Lightroom by clicking on the Light section. Below highlights and exposure, you can see the Whites and blacks section.  Moving the slider to the left or right will assist you in adjusting the range of maximum and minimum light on your image.

2. Vignetting: 

The basic reasons to use a Vignette are to direct an eye or to address the specific style of the image. For instance, you have a drone photo to catch viewers’ attention. Pop to the Vignette by visiting effects and slide left to right to direct the viewer’s eye into the middle of the subject.

3. Gradients:

Unfortunately, the gradient tool is only available in the paid version. Using gradients, you can easily split your image while editing and specifically edit that area by adjusting colors, brightness, or other editing factors.

4. Double:

The double tap trick helps you adjust two image factors: exposure or contrast.

5. Muting Tones:

A muted tone is something that has been dulled by the mixing of any color, like gray, white, or black. Picking up one color and then working on the rest of the image is called the muting tones. It’s a way to let your photo breathe. 

You can use them to generate your identity, aesthetic, or brand. Move to the colors and then color mix to edit the reds, blues, yellows, or other colors.

6. Noise Reduction:

You will see the noise reduction in the details tab while scrolling. It starts to blend and clean up all those little pixels that pixelated part of the image. Increase the detail or wash it out to make your image nice and watercolor. As you reduce the details, you will notice how much it affects.

7. Tap and Hold: 

Tap and hold play a major role in the little edits of Lightroom mobile. For instance, while increasing exposure, editing, or tweaking the photo, you can tap and hold on to the image. You can easily check the before and after differences of the image.

8. Tone Curve:

While editing, hit the Light section to see the curve on the top. After selecting it, you can access all three colors to create a little S curve in the image. Create simple keyframes: a top for your highlights, a middle for your tones, and a bottom for your shadows. 

If you bump up the top right frame and bottom down frame, that will create S. Such edits get more extreme the more you tamper with the tone curve. You can edit the particular color saturation and hue in the color section. If you want to adjust the entire set of reds, such as in dark tones. 

9. Presets:

If you like simple edits, create a preset for the specific image. Scroll down the bottom, tap the presets section, and select user presets. Your saved presets are displayed, allowing you to quickly create whatever you want.
