Hi All, I am working on some nature pictures. In these photos there is plenty of sky (as well as clear water and shores scenary. Some of those were taken when the sky was a bit hazy. Boosting up the contrast in LR helps getting rid of that haze. However, in some of the photos, it makes the rest of the image a bit too contrasty. It seems to me that if I could selectively boost up the contrast of the upper portion of the tone curve, that would do the job better. Hence my question: what are the options of conveniently (!) boosting up the contrast of a specific portion of the tone curve without affecting the rest (in LR, specifically LR 3.x, but that probably doesn't matter much)? Thank you! Igor
In Photoshop I'd go with an adjustment layer & use a layer mask to control which parts of the image got adjusted. I don't think Lightroom will do that, but I think there's something called an adjustment brush that allows you to apply an adjustment just to selected areas. Don't know if it will let you have more than one tone curve though.
