Introducing the tools to lightroom mobile


For those of you who are using the Lightroom mobile application for the first time, of course, you must know the tools that are in the application. I will not explain all the tools available in lightroom mobile, only some of the tools that are often used, such as Crop, Light, Color, Effects and Detail. The following is a more detailed explanation of these five tools.

1. Crop
Crop is used to crop images or adjust the image size according to our wishes. In this tool, several tools will appear, including:


Original: used to adjust the photo size, there are several photo size options that you can use or can customize the photo size yourself.]
Locked: when we use the locked feature, when changing the size of the photo, it will adjust itself to the right, left, top and bottom of the photo.
Unlocked: the opposite of the locked feature, when you set the size of the photo the other parts will not change, only the direction of the photo you choose.
Straighten: used to adjust the position of the photo in the middle.
Rotate Left: rotates the photo to the left.
Rotate Right: rotate the photo to the right.
Flip H: Flip the photo horizontally.
Flip V: Flip the photo vertically.

2. Profiles
In this menu you can find various default presets that have been provided by the lightroom mobile application. By utilizing the profiles menu, you can use a variety of default colors that can be combined with the lightroom settings that you will create later.

3. Auto
The auto menu will automatically adjust the effect based on the photo. But I suggest you don't have to use the Auto menu because it will damage the lightroom settings you made earlier.

4. Light
Then enter the Light menu, here you can adjust the photo lighting as desired. The following is a more detailed explanation of the Light menu:


Exposure is used to adjust the brightness level of the photo. The to the left (-) the photo will be darker and the to the right (+) the photo will look brighter.
Contrast is used to adjust the sharpness of the photo. The farther the left (-) the photo becomes blurry or there is a white effect and the hanger to the right (+) the photo gets sharper.
Shadows is used to adjust the shadow of the photo. The to the left (-) the shadow will be darker and the to the right (+) the shadow will appear lighter.
Whites have the same features as exposure, although the effect is not as strong as exposure.
Blacks have the opposite feature from whites. If you want to adjust the photo effect to make it look darker, you can use the Blacks feature.
Curve is a diagram for adjusting the brightness and effect of the photo. There are 4 colors that you can use to adjust curves, including: White, Red, Green and Blue.

4. Color
Now in this menu, you can adjust the photo color as you wish. A detailed explanation of the color menu below:


Temp set the atmosphere of the photo whether you want to look warm or cold. If you set the temp setting to the left (-) the photo will look cooler. If you set the temp setting to the right (+) the photo will look warmer.
Tint is used to adjust the green or mangenta color according to the color in the setting bar. You can mix temp and tint to get a new color effect.
Vibrance is used to enhance the color of the photo, but only in certain parts.
Saturation is used to adjust the entire color of the photo, the to the left the photo will look off and the to the right the photo will look more colorful or vibrant.
B&W is used to create a black and white effect automatically.

In MIX, there are 3 menus that you can use, including:

Hue is used to change the primary color which is still 1 type with that color.
Saturation is used to adjust the color of the photo whether you want to look on or off.
Luminance is used to adjust the lighting effect.

4. Effect
In the effect there are various cool features that you can try, for a more detailed explanation you can read below:


Texture is used to sharpen photos.
Clarity has the same function as texture, namely sharpening photos
Dehaze gives a fade effect to the photo.
Vignatte is used to give a dark / light effect on the edge of the photo. You can customize the Vignette effect by adjusting the Midpoint, Feather and Roundness menus.
Highlights are used to adjust the lighting effect in the photo
Grain is used to give a grainy effect to the photo. You can customize the grain effect by adjusting the Size and Roughness.

5. Details
Additional effects that you can use are on the Details menu, here are the tools you can use in the Details menu:
Sharpening is used to sharpen photos.
Noise Reduction is used to reduce the effect of the photo noise.
Color Noise Reduction Redution is used to reduce the effect of noise on the color of the photo.

6. Optics
For the optics menu, I have never used it, so I cannot explain the function.

7.Presets
Now for the Presets menu, you can see the various presets that you have previously saved. I will explain how to save the preset that you have made in the next point.

8. Previous
This menu is used to view photos before you adjust the lightroom settings.

9. Reset
In the reset menu it is used to reset all lightroom settings to the beginning again. So be careful when using this reset menu.


Cheap Lightroom Photo Editing Services
Now you can access the above tools for free in the lightroom. However, there are 3 features that cannot be accessed for free users, including:

1. Selective
In this selective menu you can combine several tones / colors at once. For users of the free version of course this version will be locked. In order to use it, you have to subscribe to the premium version, this selective feature is very interesting to use because you can combine several colors at once

In addition, you can add lighting to certain parts. This is not possible for users of the free version.

2. Healing Brush
This menu is used to remove or duplicate photo objects.

3. Geometry
You can use the geometry feature to adjust the photo perspective horizontally or vertically.

After knowing the tools available in the Lightroom application, it is certainly not right if you don't make Lightroom presets as learning materials.
