Leo Carillo Ranch, Carlsbad CA – May, 2011
My goal was to try and create a painted look with Lightroom alone. I ran into some limitations, which is good because that means I learned a few things. I wish Noise Reduction worked the same inside a targeted adjustment filterA filter is a digital effect used to modify image pixels and selections. Algorithms control modifica... More as it does in the Detail panel. That would have allowed me to stack up the effect, and in theory create a more painted look.
Regardless of the technical issues, I’m happy with the result.
