I’m excited to announce that Lightroom mobile now includes the ability to capture raw, high dynamic range (HDR) images! In the Lightroom mobile app, tap the camera icon and then choose HDR from the drop down at the bottom of the screen. Lightroom mobile automatically analyzes the scene to determine the appropriate spread of exposure values over three shots (most other apps only average two exposures). Then, Lightroom automatically aligns, de-ghosts, and tone maps the image, creating a 16-bit floating point DNG file which can then be edited as desired. The resulting DNG file offers a much larger dynamic range than a singe raw file while maintaining all other advantages of a raw file such as higher bit-depth per color, lack of JPEG compression, and the ability to address white balance after capture with no loss of information! Note: for iOS users, the HDR mode requires a device that can capture in DNG such as an iPhone 6, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, iPhone SE, or iPad Pro 9.7″.

When I’m teaching my Light it, Shoot it, Retouch it tour, I use Lightroom quite a bit during the day, and in one city one of the attendees came up and told me they had just bought Lightroom, and wanted my recommendations on where to go to learn Lightroom. Of course, I told him that we actually do a ton of Lightroom training, and he was like, “Really? I thought you guys just taught Photoshop.” I told him that Lightroom’s full name is “Adobe Photoshop Lightroom” and that Lightroom was part of the Photoshop family, and that we probably teach more about Lightroom than anyone on the planet. I gave him some ideas of what we do, but it really got me to thinking: If this guy at my live seminar doesn’t realize how much Lightroom training we actually offer, I wonder how many other people don’t realize all the Lightroom training we have available.

How to Make Your Portraits POP with Lightroom
The other day I wrote this Lightroom tutorial on my blog . I thought I'd share it here and see if anyone finds it helpful. I'm using a quick photo I took as an example for importing photos into Lightroom. So I didn't get the exposure right and I didn't find the best direction for the light. As a result she is a little too dark, her eye sockets have a little more shadow than they should, and there isn't quite as much pop. When editing a photo, there are a sequence of steps that I follow. In order of execution, there are four key things to adjust: White Balance Highlights (White Point) Shadows (Black Point) Mid Tones Before you do anything else, it is important to set these properly. Here's our original photo: First up: let's set the White Balance. Second thing we'll do is dial in the highlights. I'll bring down the Exposure slider slightly just until I don't see any clipped highlights. To adjust your shadows, or black point, you do the same thing but with the Black slider. OK.
