Adobe Camera Raw 18.6 added a new effects tool called Glow, and it's good enough that I went back through my own catalog and re-edited photos I'd already published. In this video I break down all three Glow styles, Diffusion, Bloom, and Halation, how the sliders work, and how to control glow globally and locally with masking. I also cover the other two additions in this release: Trim and the new metadata panel.
Chapters:
00:00 - This is a BIG Camera Raw update!
00:51 - Trim your photos in 1 click
04:02 - New metadata panel
04:41 - Glow is here!
05:40 - A closer look at Glow: Diffusion
08:53 - Using Glow with Masking
11:48 - A closer look at Glow: Bloom
15:03 - A closer look at Glow: Halation
18:32 - Let us know what you think of Glow
