Want a safe, no-fail studio setup?
ISO 100, f/11, and 1/125s will keep your flash in sync and your shots sharp.
Need sharp eyes without crunchy skin?
Hold Alt/Option on the Sharpening Masking slider so Lightroom sharpens details but leaves skin smooth.
Think you need four lights to look pro?
Nope—one light can give you beautiful shadows, depth, and drama.
Want an easy way to brighten eyes without overdoing it?
Use the Iris & Pupil mask to lift detail, then add a tiny catchlight brush stroke.
Need a pro trick to smooth skin tones?
Apply the built-in Soften Skin preset lightly to even out gradations without losing texture.
Did you know you can fake a background light in Lightroom?
Drop in a radial gradient, subtract the subject, and boom—you’ve got a backlight.
Seeing a black bar with flash?
That's easy. You’re out of sync; keep shutter at the safe ~1/125s range to avoid it.
Think sharpening always makes skin look rough?
Use the Masking slider in Sharpening with Alt/Option—Lightroom sharpens hair, eyes, and details, but skips the skin.
