Learn how to use AI-powered detection to automatically select and enhance specific parts of your photos.
Use Quick actions to quickly isolate and edit specific parts of a photo without creating masks.
Select the AI-powered features Lightroom suggests: Subject, Background, or Sky.
Select a preset, and then adjust the following sliders to apply instant adjustments:
- Amount: Adjust the slider to control the intensity of the selected preset effect applied to the image.
- Exposure: Adjust the slider to control the overall brightness of the image by increasing or decreasing the light across the selected area.
- Saturation: Adjust the slider to control the intensity of colors, making them more vibrant or more muted.
- Dehaze: Adjust the slider to reduce or enhance atmospheric haze by adding clarity or creating a softer, hazy effect.
Note
When you select Subject, Sky, or Background, the sliders are displayed accordingly.
