HIGHLIGHTS

▶  “ That's the key with noise reduction, and till a few years ago, a lot of noise reduction just really blurred or softened your image. It really wasn't removing the noise where this is wiping out the noise. It's like you shot that shot at 12800 ISO and it's like you wiped it down to like 800 ISO or 400 ISO. It's like you just wiped out the noise. That's crazy stuff. ”

▶  “So what we've done for many, many years in Photoshop was we would go to Photoshop, duplicate the layer, apply a ton of sharpening and then take the paintbrush and mask out all the skin. It took forever, but we had to do it. Believe it or not, Lightroom has a feature that will do all of that for you automatically on a slider, and it's brilliant.”
