Each device operates within a specific color space, which simply describes a range, or gamut, of colors that the device can record, store, edit, or output. Some color spaces are bigger than others. For example, the CIE Lab space is large; the sRGB space, used by many web browsers, is relatively small.
138 Workspace A Profiles describe the color spaces of the camera and the image. B Using the profiles, the color management system identifies the image's actual colors. C The monitor's profile tells the color management system how to translate the image's colors to the monitor's color space. D Using the printer profile, the color management system translates the image's colors to the printer's color space, so the colors appear correctly in print.
139 Workspace A Image is edited in the Develop module. B Image's color values are translated to the color space of chosen print conditions C Lightroom displays proof profile's interpretation of the image's color values. When you export or print photos from Lightroom, you can choose a profile or a color space to determine how the colors you see in Lightroom will appear on the device you’re sending the photo to. For example, you can export using sRGB if you’re going to share photos online.
140 Workspace Install a color profile Color profiles are often installed when a device is added to your system. The accuracy of these profiles (often called generic profiles or canned profiles) varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. You can also obtain profiles from a custom profile service, download profiles from the web, or create custom profiles using professional profiling equipment. 1.

157 Chapter 8: Managing catalogs and folders Lightroom catalog FAQ What is a catalog? A catalog is a database that tracks the location of your photos and information about them. When you edit photos, rate them, add keywords to them, or do other things to photos in Lightroom, all those changes are stored in the catalog. The photo files themselves are not touched. Note: Catalogs are different from collections. Collections are an organizational tool within a catalog. See Photo collections .
158 Managing catalogs and folders How do I open my old catalog in my new version of Lightroom? When you upgrade to a new version of Lightroom and open a catalog from an older version, Lightroom upgrades the catalog automatically. The old catalog remains untouched. The new, updated catalog contains all of the metadata associated with the previous catalog and photos. 1 Start the new version of Lightroom for the first time, or open the new version of Lightroom and choose File > Open Catalog.
159 Managing catalogs and folders • Preference and other file locations | Lightroom 1.x If you've moved your catalog and can't remember where it is, search for "lrcat" in the Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac OS). Can I store a catalog on a network? No, you can't store catalogs on a network but you can store your photos on a network.
160 Managing catalogs and folders How do I back up a catalog? You can back up your catalog automatically when you quit Lightroom. 1 Tell Lightroom how often to back up: choose Edit > Catalog Settings (Windows) or Lightroom > Catalog Settings (Mac OS) and specify a frequency in the Back Up Catalog option in the General panel. 2 Quit Lightroom at the designated time.

162 Managing catalogs and folders 3 Navigate to your renamed or moved catalog, select it, and click Choose. 4 In the Select Catalog dialog box, your renamed catalog is probably the first catalog in the list. Select it and click Open. My catalog can't find my photos. How do I find them? If you move image files in the Finder (Mac OS) or Explorer (Windows), the Lightroom catalog could lose track of them.
163 Managing catalogs and folders The Lightroom catalog versus a file browser The way Lightroom works is different from a file browser such as Adobe Bridge. File browsers need direct, physical access to the files they display. Files must actually be on your hard drive, or your computer must be connected to a storage media that contains the files, for Adobe Bridge to show them.
164 Managing catalogs and folders More Help topics Creating and using catalogs Lightroom catalog FAQ Manage photos Create and manage catalogs Create a catalog When you create a catalog, you create a folder for it, too. The name of the folder is the same as the name of the catalog, without the catalog suffix. For example, if you name the folder “Wedding Photos,” the catalog file will be “Wedding Photos.lrcat”.
165 Managing catalogs and folders 4 (Optional) In the Lightroom Catalog Upgrade dialog box, change the destination for the upgraded catalog. 5 Click Upgrade. Important: When you upgrade a catalog, Lightroom leaves the old catalog untouched, makes a copy of the old catalog, and renames its previews file.

221 Chapter 11: Processing and developing photos Develop module tools The Develop module contains two sets of panels and a toolbar for viewing and editing a photo. On the left are the Navigator, Presets, Snapshots, History, and Collections panels for previewing, saving, and selecting changes you’ve made to a photo. On the right are the tools and panels for making global and local adjustments to a photo.
222 Processing and developing photos • The Basic panel contains the main tools for adjusting the photo’s white balance, color saturation, and tonal scale. • The Tone Curve and HSL/Color/B&W panels contain tools for fine-tuning your color and tonal adjustments. • The Split Toning panel colors monochrome images or creates special effects with color images. • The Detail panel lets you adjust sharpness and reduce noise.
223 Processing and developing photos selected, the Sync button lets you choose which of the current settings to paste from the currently selected photo onto the other selected photos. Auto Sync adjusts other selected photos automatically after each slider is moved. Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) to turn the Sync button into the Auto Sync button. Before and After views The Before And After Views button in the toolbar offers four choices.
224 Processing and developing photos 2 Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a preset in the Presets panel and choose Update With Current Settings. 3 Specify the settings you want to include in the preset and click Update.

The After view shows changes as you make them. Zooming and panning are synchronized in the two views.
226 Processing and developing photos More Help topics Manage image history and snapshots Cure red eye and pet eye effects Using the Red Eye Correction tool in Adobe Lightroom is a quick and easy way to correct red eye in your photos. Working in much the same way as red eye correction, pet eye correction in Lightroom helps you cure unnatural pet eye colors captured in photos. Follow along with the images below to learn how to touch up your photographs in just a few clicks.
227 Processing and developing photos Cure red eye and pet eye effects 1 Switch to the Develop module. 2 Click the Red Eye Correction tool icon. 3 Click Red Eye or Pet Eye. 4 Starting at the center, draw a circle over the affected eye. 5 Adjust the available settings.
228 Processing and developing photos 6 Click Done. Create panoramas Lightroom lets you easily merge photos of a landscape into a breathtaking panorama. You can see a quick preview of the panorama and make adjustments to it before the merged image is generated. 1 Select the source images in Lightroom. 2 Select Photo > Photo Merge > Panorama or press Ctrl/Control+M. 3 In the Panorama Merge Preview dialog box, choose Auto Select Projection if you want Lightroom to automatically select a layout projection.
229 Processing and developing photos ? Once you've finished making your choices, click Merge. Lightroom creates the panorama and places it in your catalog. Note: You can apply all Develop module settings to panoramas just as you would apply them to individual images. Lightroom can create vertical and multirow panoramas. The metadata and boundaries of source images are analyzed to determine if a horizontal, vertical, or multirow panorama would be appropriate for them.
230 Processing and developing photos 1 Sometimes, after the exposure-bracketed images are merged, some areas in the HDR image may appear unnaturally semi-transparent. Select one of the following deghosting option in the HDR Merge Preview dialog box to correct these anomalies: None, Low, Medium, or High. Try Low deghosting first to obtain a clean merged image. Try higher settings if necessary.
231 Processing and developing photos Set the white balance You can adjust the white balance of a photo to reflect the lighting conditions under which it was taken—daylight, tungsten, flash, and so on. You can either choose a white balance preset option or click a photo area that you want to specify as a neutral color. Lightroom adjusts the white balance setting, and then you can fine-tune it using the sliders provided. Note: White balance preset options are available only for raw and DNG photos.
232 Processing and developing photos Tint Fine-tunes the white balance to compensate for a green or magenta tint. Move the slider to the left (negative values) to add green to the photo; move it to the right (positive values) to add magenta. Tip: If you see a green or magenta color cast in the shadow areas after adjusting the temperature and tint, try removing it by adjusting the Shadows Tint slider in the Camera Calibration panel.
233 Processing and developing photos Adjust the tonal scale using the histogram About histograms A histogram is a representation of the number of pixels in a photo at each luminance percentage. A histogram that stretches from the left side of the panel to the right side indicates a photo that takes full advantage of the tonal scale. A histogram that doesn’t use the full tonal range can result in a dull image that lacks contrast.
234 Processing and developing photos Preview highlight and shadow clipping You can preview tonal clipping in a photo as you work on it. Clipping is the shifting of pixel values to the highest highlight value or the lowest shadow value. Clipped areas are either completely white or completely black, and have no image detail. You can preview clipped areas as you adjust the tone sliders in the Basic panel. Clipping indicators are located at the top of the Histogram panel in the Develop module.
235 Processing and developing photos If a point on the curve moves up, it becomes a lighter tone; if it moves down, it becomes darker. A straight, 45-degree line indicates no changes to the tonal scale: The original input values exactly match the output values. You may see a tone curve that isn’t straight when you first view a photo that you haven’t adjusted. This initial curve reflects default adjustments that Lightroom applied to your photo during import.
236 Processing and developing photos To make adjustments to individual points on the tone curve, choose an option from the Point Curve menu, click the Edit Point Curve button , and do any of the following: • Choose an option from the Channel pop-up menu. You can edit all three channels at once, or choose to edit the Red, Green, or Blue channel individually. • Click to add a point. • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) and choose Delete Control Point to remove a point.
237 Processing and developing photos You can adjust how Lightroom interprets the color from your camera by using the controls in the Camera Calibration panel and saving the changes as a preset. You may find it useful to photograph a standard color target under the lighting you want to calibrate. 1 Select a photo, and then set options in the Camera Calibration panel. Profile Sets the profile to use for your camera. ACR [version]These profiles are compatible with older versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom.
238 Processing and developing photos Convert a photo to gray tones Black & White Mix in the B&W panel converts color images to monochrome grayscale images, providing control over how individual colors convert to gray tones. 1 Convert the photo to grayscale by selecting Black & White in the Treatment area of the Basic panel or by pressing V. 2 Adjust the photo’s tonal range using the settings in the Basic and Tone Curve panels.
239 Processing and developing photos The Adjustment Brush tool lets you selectively apply Exposure, Clarity, Brightness, and other adjustments to photos by “painting” them onto the photo. The Graduated Filter tool lets you apply Exposure, Clarity, and other tonal adjustments gradually across a region of a photo. You can make the region as wide or as narrow as you like.
240 Processing and developing photos 4 Drag the individual effect sliders to increase or decrease the values. 5 (Adjustment Brush tool only) Specify options for Adjustment Brush A: Size Specifies the diameter of the brush tip in pixels. Feather Creates a soft-edged transition between the brushed area and the surrounding pixels. When you use the brush, the distance between the inner and outer circle represents the feather amount. Flow Controls the rate of application of the adjustment.
241 Processing and developing photos Edit an Adjustment Brush or Graduated Filter/Radial Filter effect To edit an Adjustment Brush or Graduated Filter effect, you can do any of the following: • Press H to hide or show the pin and Graduated Filter guides, or choose a display mode from the Show Edit Pins menu in the toolbar. • Press O to hide or show a mask overlay of the Adjustment Brush tool effect, or use the Show Selected Mask Overlay option in the toolbar.
242 Processing and developing photos Retouch photos Adjust crop and rotation The Develop module contains tools and controls for cropping and straightening photos. Lightroom crop and straighten controls work by first setting a crop boundary, and then moving and rotating the image in relation to the crop boundary. Or, you can use more traditional crop and straighten tools and drag directly in the photo.
243 Processing and developing photos Switch crop orientation 1 Select the Crop Overlay tool in the tool strip. 2 Drag in the photo to set the crop boundary. 3 Press X to change the orientation from landscape to portrait or portrait to landscape. Straighten a photo ? Select the Crop Overlay tool in the tool strip, and do one of the following: • Rotate the photo using the Angle slider.
244 Processing and developing photos Radius Adjusts the size of the details that sharpening is applied to. Photos with very fine details may need a lower radius setting. Photos with larger details may be able to use a larger radius. Using too large a radius generally results in unnatural-looking results. Detail Adjusts how much high-frequency information is sharpened in the image and how much the sharpening process emphasizes edges. Lower settings primarily sharpen edges to remove blurring.
245 Processing and developing photos Contrast Controls luminance contrast. Useful for very noisy photos. Higher values preserve contrast but may produce noisy blotches or mottling. Lower values produce smoother results but may also have less contrast. Color Reduces color noise. Detail Controls the color noise threshold. Higher values protect thin, detailed color edges but may result in color speckling. Lower values remove color speckles but may result in color bleeding.
246 Processing and developing photos Video tutorial: Lens correction in Lightroom Learn about the Lens Correction feature in Lightroom 5. This feature can make a photo taken with an inexpensive lens look fantastic. The Profile options in the Lens Corrections panel of the Develop module correct distortions in common camera lenses.
