Pulling Detail out of the Shadows with Adobe Lightroom

The other day I posted a before and after photo that I had processed in Lightroom.  The really impressive thing about the process is the amount of detail contained in a RAW image.  That and Lightroom’s ability to pull out that detail while protecting some of the highlights.  Several of you wrote in asking to see just how I processed the image to get to that final image.  So without further delay, here is a short video showing just how I processed the image.

By the way, several of you commented that you preferred the before image more than the after.  Truth be told, I do to for this particular image.  The point here though isn’t which image is better, rather just how far you can take a RAW image in Lightroom.

See you Wednesday.
