When I’m shooting and editing Raw files, I am constantly comparing the back-of-camera preview to what I can produce in post. Post-production techniques become very important to me when I want to push past a corrective edit and pack a punch. Lightroom Classic allows me to do just that with its intuitive and very user-friendly tools. If you already use Lightroom, what more is there to learn? Or maybe you just don’t care for punchier images because it’s not in your wheelhouse.

In this article, I give you the tools to try something new and pack a punch with your images. We will dive into corrective adjustments and how to direct your viewer.

You are going to hear about color profiles a lot in Lightroom Classic, which are vital when mixed with color grading techniques.
