Light Leak Effect – Creative Lightroom Episode 1
In the first episode of Creative Lightroom, my new 10 week series, I have a great light leak technique which looks amazing on vintage and retro styled images.
Light leaks were origianlly a problem that affected film cameras and often resulted in a ruined photo. On the rare occasion a light leak would occur which actually enhanced the photo. Using Lightroom it’s very easy to choose which photos would benefit from a light leak and how big it needs to be. On the right photo light leaks will look amazing.
It’s worth mentioning that if you’re a Photoshop user rather then Lightroom user then remember EVERYTHING I show in the video is the same as Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.
Thanks Gavin, clear and concise as usual.
Thank you gavin brill as always
Hi Gavin, I’ve just installed Lightroom 5 so any tutorials are a great help! This was very clear and easy to follow. Brilliant, looking forward to the next ones. Thank you.
Excellent as always
good stuff mate keep them coming
I really appreciate your effort in share your knowledge, thank you!
Brilliant Gav as always
Thank you.
I have to be honest though, I can’t see how I would do the radial effect in RAW – but the straight line one works a treat just following your exact settings
Just need to take a photo now which lends itself to this!
Thanks again
Nice technique, thanks Gavin. A suggestion … at the end of the Lightroom videos it would be helpful to say that these techniques can be replicated in Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw with the equivalents being PS6 ACR = LR4 and PS CC ACR = LR5 just so those without Lightroom know that they can still achieve the same results.
