I Didn’t Expect This Lightroom Update to Be So Good

Adobe just dropped a sneaky new feature into Lightroom: Adaptive Color Profiles. But what do they actually do — and should you use them in your editing? In this video, I’ll show you how these new profiles subtly enhance your images without destroying the natural feel — and how they can help speed up your workflow, especially if you shoot portraits, lifestyle, or surf like I do. What we’ll cover: - Where to find the new Adaptive Color Profiles - What they do differently from standard presets - How to use them in a way that actually improves your edits - A few creative ideas to get you started These profiles are surprisingly smart — but like all good tools, they’re only as good as the photographer using them. So let’s dive in, and I’ll show you how to get the most out of them. If you want to level up your editing and your confidence behind the camera, check out my online photography programs.
