When Capture One released its 15.2.0 update earlier this month, one of the outlined features was an updated Keystone tool. I was excited to try it out, as I found the old version to be somewhat cumbersome, especially when using keystone guides to make adjustments. After spending some time with
One of my favorite features within Lightroom is the Straightening Tool. I have the exceptional ability to consistently produce images with slightly crooked horizons; my theory is that I am somehow 5 degrees off kilter to the planet.

Additionally, you can perform color correction by manually identifying a white point and black point in the image. Nearly every image can benefit from making a Levels adjustment.

When working with the Levels adjustment layer, you may have noticed the Auto button. This command button triggers an analysis of the histogram data by Photoshop that is then used to modify the individual controls of the Levels adjustment. In many cases this results in an image that is properly
