Discover the new "Light" Adjustment Layer in Photoshop Beta, which brings Camera Raw controls as super convenient adjustment layers!
🚀 Join PiXimperfect Pro - The Ultimate Photoshop Training Course: https://pix.live/pro
In this tutorial, we will not only learn how to master the Light Adjustment layer in Photoshop Beta version 27.9, but also look at how to best use Exposure, Highlights, Contrast, and Shadow controls to bring the best out of the image. We will also learn how to combine this new tool other adjustment layers derived from Camera Raw to create incredible results. Using the Light Adjustment Layer with a combination of advanced masking, blending, clarity, and color, we will learn editing through several examples. We will also discuss the shortcomings of this new feature and the pausing preview that you must be aware of. Also, we will explore when this can be better than Camera Raw filter. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
