Newly discovered LR editing tweak!
Hi guys, I've been using LR for a while and was playing around and just discovered this cool a additional way to tweak so thought I'd share for those who don't know it:-) If you hover your mouse over the histogram (I'm using LR 4 on Mac) and move it from L to R you will see a highlighted area show up in the histogram. one for darks, shadows, highlights and lights. If you then click on that area and drag left or right it will change just that bracketed selected area for you and you don't have to touch any of the sliders:-) I like it much better than using the sliders. Curious to know how many already know about this. Jul 07 13 10:48 am Link You have reached level two, Padawan.   Jul 07 13 10:49 am Link Same as when you hover over the sliders themselves I believe. Jul 07 13 11:13 am Link Yep! Jul 07 13 11:17 am Link Robert Jewett wrote: lever three is to discover that you can do same thing by hover your mouse over the image itself.

In that order across the histogram from Left to right. If you look when you hover over each section those names also appear under the histogram and the slider bars and names highlight and move when you move the histogram the slider bar moves too.
