Smart Collection Sync ensures that your cloud-based Lr CC catalog is kept in sync with your desktop-based Lr Classic catalog, with virtually no manual action necessary (you just need to click a Sync button every now and then, but that’s it!) Smart Collection Syncīy far my favourite free Lightroom plugin available is this one by Jeffrey Friedl, which enables the use of smart collections with Lightroom CC. Like all of Jeffrey’s Lightroom plugins, Timelapse Support is donation-ware – free to use for a while but if you like it a donation is requested later on. It allows you to gradually change (ramp) the settings over a series of photos.Īll you have to do is choose the first and last photo, run the plugin, and then watch the magic happen. If you’re looking for a free Adobe Lightroom time lapse plugin, Timelapse Support might do the trick. For all that it offers, it’s excellent value!įor more information about Luminar 4, check out our in-depth review here. If you buy it through Shotkit using the button above, right now you get a discount making it less than US$70. Luminar comes both as a standalone and as a plugin for Lightroom and Photoshop. Luminar’s Looks are also much easier to adjust than Lightroom presets.Īll of Luminar’s filters can be adjusted with layers and layer masks, and there’s even a fancy sky replacement tool for those who like compositing.
It also comes with numerous presets (called Looks) and more that you can download (both free and paid).
It’s designed to streamline your editing, especially when it comes to tone and color correction. While Luminar 4 has everything a pro needs for image adjustment, the best part is that you don’t need to be a pro to do pro-level edits with it. It does just about everything you could want in the world of photo enhancement, with many of its filters using artificial intelligence to analyze and adjust photos. See the main LRHazeFilters page for comments about the versions of Lightroom that the plug-in works on.Luminar is by far our favorite Lightroom plugin available in 2021.
Thanks Arthur.ĭownload the latest version LRHazeFilters – containing adjustments for global dehaze and filters or see a full version history I have updated the plug-in so only the final change to the dehaze value appears in Lightroom history. I have also updated the plug-in to automatically switch to the develop module if another module is active when the plug-in is run. I have updated the plug-in to add checks of the Lightroom version and Process version of the selected photo to avoid confusion in cases where Dehaze may not be available. You may find the first click on the dehaze window is lost – just click it again. Click OK to close the Dehaze window and resume normal Lightroom editing, or Cancel to discard changes just made to the dehaze value. Change the slider and observe the effect on the current image. You can move the Dehaze window to a place on the screen where it is not in the way, and it will remember this location. Please see these notes about adjusting settings. You can only use it while in the Develop module. When selected, a window with a dehaze slider opens:
Help – Plug-In Extras – LRHazeFilters – Dehaze Control When the LRHazeFilters plug-in is installed it adds a menu item Installation instructions are here if you have not installed a plug-in before. However after some research I found that it was quite possible to create a plug-in that provided control of the Dehaze setting that was included in the CC version.
When the Lightroom 6.1 update came out with just “bug fixes” and none of the new features of Lightroom CC (now called Lightroom Classic CC) I was not happy. The Dehaze Control described here provides a way to adjust the Dehaze setting that applies to the whole photo.
This page is an overview of the Dehaze Control that was first released as the LRHaze plug-in then later became one part of LRHazeFilter when I worked out how to control settings on filters.
