Jeff Carlson is back to discuss an update to his Take Control of Lightroom that helps us not only understand the differences between the flavors of the program, but also talks about some of the newly added features. Lightroom is the basis for so much of the Adobe photo product line, but some of their decisions have left users confused. Jeff makes sense of it, discussing date-and-time stamping, machine learning, and what Adobe is doing with the photos you trust to their cloud-based service, if you let them. Some of the other changes Jeff addresses are the new tone curve tool, a split toning feature, and why storing photos on an external hard drive is one of the best new options.
