Why Do My Lightroom Local Adjustments Look Unnatural? Are your Lightroom local adjustments looking unnatural or out of place? In this informative video, we'll explain how to achieve more natural and seamless edits using Lightroom's local adjustment tools. We'll start by discussing common mistakes like overdoing sliders, which can create stark contrasts and make your edits stand out too much. You'll learn how to control your adjustments to keep them subtle and believable. We'll also cover how to properly blend your edits into the surrounding areas by adjusting feathering and flow settings, ensuring smooth transitions without harsh lines. Additionally, we'll explain the importance of masking correctly—making sure you're editing only the desired areas and not affecting the entire photo. You'll discover how applying image transforms before making local adjustments can prevent misalignment issues. We’ll also share tips on avoiding over-editing with multiple adjustments across different areas, helping your photo look consistent and natural.
