Tell Adobe to Add Local Tone Curves to Lightroom

If you’ve taken one of my workshops, you’ve seen how valuable tone curves are in Photoshop. So why can’t you do the same thing in Lightroom? Because not enough people have requested it!

If you’d like to see this feature added to Lightroom, click here and tell them!

Lots of other programs from other vendors allow local tone curves, like On1 and Affinity Photo, so it’s time Adobe adds this. Until then, you have to use Photoshop or switch vendors to get it. But I’ll let you in on a secret. Photoshop isn’t as hard as people make it out to be, and once you spend the time to learn it, it’s faster and offers more control than Lightroom. So either bark at Adobe to add it, learn Photoshop, or switch applications…those are your options for now if you want local tone curves.

Canon, how about a PDF manual?

Frustration this morning that the manual for the Canon Pro-100 printer is their proprietary document application that will stop working with future versions of the Mac OS. Imaging if there was a Portable Document Format (you could name it PDF for short) that would let you put the manual into a format that could be read on any platform like every other manufacturer does. Canon isn’t the only one that does this but it gets my ire today, and earns a spot on my gripe list. I get that no company is perfect, but this should be so obvious at this point.
