Follow along with any project to learn how to apply effects.

On the Lightroom on the web homepage, select Photos > All Photos.

Select an image to open it in detail view, and then select Edit .

Within the Effects dropdown, adjust the following sliders:

Different slider options like texture, clarity, dehaze, vignette, grain, and glow is displayed.
Adjust detail, contrast, haze, edges, grain, and glow with the Effects panel sliders.

  • Texture: Smooth or accentuate textured details in your photo. Move the slider to the left to smoothen details; move it to the right to accentuate details. When you adjust the Texture slider, the color or tonality does not change.
  • Clarity: Change the contrast around the edges of objects in your photo. Move the slider to the left to soften edges; move it to the right to increase edge contrast.
  • Dehaze: Reduce or remove the haze or fog in an image, revealing more detail and clarity. Move the slider to the left to add simulated haze; move it to the right to remove haze.
  • Vignette: Make the outer edges of the photo lighter or darker. Move the slider left and right to adjust the Vignette sliders:
    • Feather: Lower values reduce softening between the vignette and the vignette’s surrounding pixels. Higher values increase the softening.
    • Midpoint: Lower values apply the Amount adjustment to a larger area away from the corners. Higher values restrict the adjustment to an area closer to the corners.
    • Roundness: Lower values make the vignette effect more oval. Higher values make the vignette effect more circular.
    • Highlights: Lower values reduce highlight contrast preservation when the Amount is negative, while higher values enhance it, ideal for photos with small highlights like candles and lamps.
  • Grain: Control the amount, size, and roughness of the grain effect of an image.
    • Size: Allows you to adjust the overall intensity of the grain effect.
    • Roughness: Allows the sharpness or definition of the grain particles.
  • Glow: Add a soft, luminous look to your photos by diffusing highlights and blooming light sources for a dreamy, atmospheric, or nostalgic feel. Drag the Glow slider to the right to increase the effect. As you raise the value, light blooms outward from the highlights in your photo.
    • Style: Select a look from the Style dropdown menu.
      • Diffusion: Softens the whole image with a hazy, film-like finish. Works well for dreamy landscapes and sunsets.
      • Bloom: Spreads an even, gentle glow across highlights. Suits ethereal scenes such as waterfalls and mist.
      • Halation: Adds a colored warm red or orange glow around bright edges and light sources, like film halation. Ideal for neon signs, night scenes, and vintage looks.
      • Motion: Trails light in a directional blur to add a sense of movement. Great for city lights and action shots.
      • Streak: Stretches bright highlights into long streaks of light. Great when working with headlights, street lamps, and cinematic night scenes.
    • Fine-tune: Use the sliders to fine-tune the Glow adjustments:
      • Range: Select which tones the Glow affects, from the brightest highlights to a broader tonal range.
      • Spread: Set how far the Glow extends from bright areas. Higher values create a wider, softer effect.
      • Warmth: Make the highlights warmer or cooler to match the lighting in your scene. 
      • Direction: Set the angle of the light trails.
      • Softness: Control how soft or sharp the light trails look.

The Direction and Softness sliders are available only when you select the Motion and Streak style.

Select Save.

Sfat

Select a Glow amount that suits your photo without hiding important details. The highest amount isn’t always the best result.

To apply Glow to part of a photo, select Masking  , then create a mask. Select Effects > Glow, and adjust the Glow amount for the masked area. As with Grain, the style and other Glow settings are shared with the global Glow adjustment.
