froknowsphoto.com ever wonder how to use the graduated filter tool in Lightroom? With this tool you can enhance a sky, fix other blemishes or change the feeling of the entire photograph.
Working with graduated filters in Adobe Lightroom 2, from an Intermediate Lightroom seminar held in Provo, UT in March 2009. Tutorial by David Terry.
Great tutorial, Greg. Thank you.
Not bad Greg however I feel you missed one of the more important lessons on grad filters. Using them in Lightroom when you actually have a building or a person sticking up into where the grad needs to come down over; so they end up with a dark head. Paint round them, etc. Could you do a tutorial on this?
Thanks for your videos, I am learning quite a bit.
Regarding the gradient color, I notice that the gradient transition is not smooth, is it the video compression that caused that?

@rticknor All you need to do is remove the backup folders from your lightroom catalog, and you will not have duplicates. This will not delete the backups, just remove them from view.
@movania89 yes you can.
@rticknor The only thing I can think of is using stacking and I am not sure that would work either. With stacking the photos must be in the same folder on the hard drive. If I were you I would make sure all of my keywords and changes have been applied to the master set then remove the others. You want one master set of photos to make things easy, not two making yourself wonder which to work from.
In other words I never have duplicate files in my catalogs.
Greg, i have a lightroom question unrelated to the graduated filter.
How do you deal with duplicate files? I have a master copy of some files on my main computer, and a backup of everything on 2 different network drive… but light room always shows me both files.
How do i tell lightroom to treat both files as the same file?
Thanks!
@movania89 Sure, you can!
Hey Greg awesome ! Tips! I have to ask a question, can I apply multiple graduated filters at same image?
Can you guys show how to set lightroom up as you have it?
@KElson992 I agree with you 100%…thats why I preach shooting first. Although editing is still a huge part of photography, even with film. Editing with an enlarger dodging, burning, etc etc is the same thing with different tools.
@IDAlecious Is that a fat joke 😉 Lake Mead.
Lake Meat? wtf
@nvjusme i would like to know too….especially since i know it says in provo…? can i just guess at BYU or what?

Where do you teach Lightroom classes at?
To select a colour from within the image, open the colour picker, then click and drag out onto the image.
Great stuff … Thanks 🙂
By the way, THANKS for posting this. I think it’s awesome. It’s a little weird seeing and hearing myself. But you did good and I think the presentation itself came out good. So THANKS! 🙂
