Adding That Extra “Oomph” with Perfect Exposure
Being in the midwest, I have to deal with a lot of ugly, grey skies. In Lightroom, I've learned to take advantage of the gradient filter tool to add subtle hints of blue in the skies of my images. And while this helps with the color of the sky, it doesn't help with the flatness of the rest of the image. Recently I discovered Perfect Exposure, part of the Perfectly Clear suite of products, and was blown away. I decided to take a look back into my archives, and I soon realized that by using Perfect Exposure, I added some "oomph" to my image … [Read more...] about Adding That Extra “Oomph” with Perfect Exposure

Dark Circle Quick Fix with Perfectly Clear
Can I vent for a second about how frustrating it can be to retouch dark circles under the eyes? While I don't claim to be a master retoucher, I do think I can hold my own, except when it comes to those under eye circles. Matching tonality and texture has always been a difficult task for me. Remove too much and it looks super fake. Don't do it enough and it looks like a shoddy job. So usually I just end up leaving them. Enter: Perfectly Clear.
