Chapter 7. Developing Images

Developing images—adjusting their exposure, getting the colors just right, tweaking all the details—lies at the heart of photography. Lightroom has so many tools for doing just that, it can overwhelm even darkroom veterans. But the real joy of Lightroom, as you’ll discover in this chapter, is how all the tools offer immediate visual feedback. You make an adjustment and you can see what’s right or wrong about it. So don’t let all the sliders, expanding panels, and myriad choices faze you. Lightroom actually makes the whole process fun.
