We're at Lake Atitlan outside Antigua, Guatemala with our first ever tutorial style video (so bare with us) and 3 Basic Lightroom Editing Tips!!

These are really quick and easy tricks for basic editing in Lightroom. The Graduated Filter is a huge one mostly because actually purchasing the filters can get really expensive (even though I do advise it for keen photographers) and having the digital option in lightroom can save a lot of money. It is also handy when using multiple filter effects to really balance out the light in your image. 

The Spot Removal is especially good for dust spots on the sensor or small objects in the frame that are obtrusive and would be better removed. This is a quick and easy solution and works almost 90% of the time. 

The final tip is simply copying and pasting your develop settings. This is especially useful when editing a batch of very similar images to save a TON of time and energy. It is a handy trick and once you get the hang of it, you'll use it all the time. 

Anyway, these are simple and easy tricks and tips and we hope you like them and can use them also. 

Nellie wrote a blog article to back up this video with written info. Check that out here for more details on these tips. http://snellmedia.com/blog/3-basic-lightroom-editing-tips/
