This Lightroom slider doesn’t imply that there’s a special secret to finding it, but it’s in a place you probably wouldn’t think to look for. This great video tutorial will show you how to make use of it to make your photos pop quickly and easily.
Coming to you from Anthony MorgantiThis awesome video tutorial will show you where to find the hidden midtones slider in Lightroom and how to use it. The reason this slider isn’t in the general tone control panel is because it’s actually designed for color grading, but it works well for adjusting the brightness of mids. Morganti makes a great point: the general tone control panel contains only sliders to target the edges of the histogram, not the center, and as such, if you have an image that is mainly composed of tones medium that you want to enhance a bit, you will need to use the curves tool, which will certainly work, but may not be as easy or effective. However, for all editing, there is no one correct way to do things, only what you like and what gives you the results you want. Check out the video above for a complete summary of Morganti.
