Selective edit controls in the Edit panel allow you to make corrections to a specific area of a photo. For example, you may want to lighten a face to make it stand out in a portrait. To make local corrections, you can apply adjustments using the Brush Selection tool, Radial Selection tool, and the Linear Selection tool.
- The Brush Selection tool lets you select specific parts of an image by brushing over them and apply adjustments such as Exposure, Clarity, Brightness, and other to the selected region of the photo.
- The Radial Selection tool lets you selectively apply adjustments such as Exposure, Clarity, Brightness, and other to a particular region of photos. You can control the shape and dimension of that region.
- The Linear Selection tool lets you apply these adjustments gradually across a region of a photo. You can make the region as wide or as narrow as you like.
Selective edits are nondestructive and are not permanently applied to the photo.

Basic:
This profile group is available for non-raw photos only and provides two profile options - Color and Monochrome.
Profiles for raw photos
The following profile groups appear when you are editing a raw photo.
Adobe Raw: Adobe Raw profiles significantly improve color rendering and provide a good starting point for editing your raw images. Adobe Color profile─which is designed to provide a good color/tone balance for any
image─is applied by default to the raw photos that you import in Lightroom.Camera Matching: Displays profiles based on the camera make/model of your raw photo. Use Camera Matching profiles if you prefer the color rendering in your raw files to match what you see on your camera’s display screen.
Legacy: Displays legacy profiles that were also provided in the earlier versions of the Lightroom app.
Creative profiles for raw and non-raw photos
Creative profiles work on any file type including raw photos, JPEGs, and TIFFs. These profiles are designed to create a certain style or effect in your photo.
Artistic: Use these profiles if you want the color rendering in your photo to be more edgy, with stronger color shifts.
B&W: Use these profiles to get optimal tone shifts required for black and white work.
Modern: Use these profiles to create unique effects that fit in with the modern photography styles.
Vintage: Use these profiles to replicate the effects of vintage photos.
Note:
When you apply any of the Artistic, B&W, Modern, and Vintage profiles, Lightroom for mobile provides an additional Amount slider that allows you to control profile intensity.
To add a profile to your Favorites profile group, press-and-hold the profile's thumbnail. If the profile is currently selected, you can also tap the gray star icon appearing at the upper-right corner of the profile thumbnail.

- Tap Grading
to adjust the colors of midtones, shadows, and highlights using the Color Grading sliders. There is also a Global slider with which you can adjust the overall colors in the photo without affecting the settings of midtones, shadows, and highlights. Furthermore, you can adjust the Luminance, Blending, and Balance of the colors for midtones, shadows, and highlights using their respective sliders.

Note:
Color Grading replaces Split Tone. Set the blending slider to 100 to achieve the same effect as the pre-existing Split Tone feature.
-
Texture
Smoothens or accentuates 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
Adds depth to an image by increasing local contrast. To maximize the effect, increase the setting until you see halos near the edge details of the image, and then reduce the setting slightly.
When using this setting, it is best to zoom in to 100% or greater. To zoom in, double-tap the photo or use the outward spread gesture.
Dehaze
Controls the amount of haze in a photograph. Drag to the right to remove haze; drag to the left to add haze.
Vignette Amount

dehaze effects.
In Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for mobile, you can sharpen your photo to enhance edge definition and bring out details in the photo.
You can reduce the image noise by removing the extraneous visible artifacts that degrade image quality. Image noise includes luminance (grayscale) noise, which makes an image look grainy, and chroma (color) noise, which is usually visible as colored artifacts in the image. Photos taken with high ISO speeds can have noticeable noise.
-
Noise reduction and sharpening control
Note:
When applying selective edits, only Noise and Sharpness controls are available in the Detail menu.
-
Adjust any of the following controls:
Sharpening controls
- Sharpening: Adjusts edge definition. Increase the slider value to increase sharpening. A value of zero (0) turns off sharpening. In general, set the slider to a lower value for cleaner images. The adjustment locates pixels that differ from surrounding pixels based on the threshold you specify and increases the pixels’ contrast by the amount you specify.
- Radius: Adjusts the size of the details that sharpening is applied to. Photos with very fine details may need a lower radius setting. Photos with larger details may be able to use a larger radius. Using too large a radius generally results in unnatural-looking results.
- Detail: Adjusts how much high-frequency information is sharpened in the image and how much the sharpening process emphasizes edges. Lower settings primarily sharpen edges to remove blurring. Higher values are useful for making the textures in the image more pronounced.
- Masking: Controls an edge mask. With a setting of zero (0), everything in the image receives the same amount of sharpening. With a setting of 100, sharpening is mostly restricted to those areas near the strongest edges.
Luminance noise reduction controls
- Noise Reduction: Increase the slider value to reduce luminance noise.
- Detail: Controls the luminance noise threshold. Useful for very noisy photos. Higher values preserve more detail but may produce noisier results. Lower values produce cleaner results but may also remove some detail.
- Contrast: Controls luminance contrast. Useful for very noisy photos. Higher values preserve contrast but may produce noisy blotches or mottling. Lower values produce smoother results but may also have less contrast.
Color noise reduction controls
- Color Noise Reduction: Increase the slider value to reduce color noise.
- Detail: Controls the color noise threshold. Higher values protect thin, detailed color edges but may result in color speckling. Lower values remove color speckles but may result in color bleeding.
- Smoothness: Controls how much smoothing to apply to the image as you reduce the color noise.
Camera lenses can exhibit different types of defects at certain focal lengths, f-stops, and focus distances. You can correct and/or minimize these issues in the selected photo using the options provided in the Optics icon in the Edit panel - Remove Chromatic Aberration and Lens Profile Corrections.
-
Lightroom for mobile includes numerous lens profiles, which can be used to correct common lens aberrations such as geometric distortion and vignetting. The profiles are based on metadata that identifies the camera and lens used to capture the photo, and then compensates accordingly.
Lens Profile Corrections:
Enable Lens Profile Corrections option in the Optics panel to automatically select a matching lens profile based on the camera model, focal length, f-stop and focus distance information in your photo's metadata.
Cameras with built-in lens profile support
Lens correction for all Micro 4/3 (MFT) lenses and cameras, including Panasonic, Olympus, and other cameras (Fuji X, Leica Q, plus many point-and-shoot models from Canon) happens automatically without your interaction. If your lens is supported automatically, Lightroom for mobile displays the message Built-in Lens Profile Applied in the Optics panel. -
(Optional) If Lightroom for mobile is unable to find a matching lens profile automatically, do the following:
- Tap Manually Select a Profile.
- In the Lens Profile panel, select a Make, Model, and Profile.
If you want to change the matching lens profile applied by Lightroom automatically, do the following:
- Tap the current lens profile name.
- In the Lens Profile panel, select a Make, Model, and Profile.
If you want to revert to the matching lens profile automatically applied by Lightroom, tap Auto Select.
The lens profiles that are available depend on whether you’re adjusting a raw or a non-raw file. For a list of supported lenses, see Supported lenses.
- Tap Manually Select a Profile.
-
You can customize the correction applied by the profile by adjusting the following sliders below lens profile:
While capturing photos, a close distance to the subject as well as certain types of lenses can distort perspective and make straight lines appear bowed, tilted or skewed in your photos. For example, shooting up at a tall building can make the building look like it's leaning away from you. You can easily fix and adjust the perspective of your photo using the Upright modes and geometry slider tools in the Geometry panel.
The Upright modes provide four automatic perspective correction options - Auto, Level, Vertical, and Full, as well as a manual Guided option. You can also refine the adjustment using the geometry sliders.
-
Select a photo with skewed geometry.
(Recommended) In the Edit panel in the Loupe view, tap the Optics icon at the bottom of the screen, enable the Lens Profile Corrections option.
A photo with skewed geometry -
Tap the Geometry icon at the bottom of the screen.
From the Upright menu, choose an option to apply the correction to the photo:
- Guided: Allows you to draw two to four guides on your photo to adjust perspective.
- Auto: Corrects both vertical and horizontal perspective while balancing the overall image, preserving as much of the visible image area as possible.
- Level: Corrects horizontal perspective, making horizontal lines parallel in the photo.
- Vertical: Corrects vertical perspective caused by tilting the camera up or down. Makes vertical lines parallel in the photo.
- Full: Combines Auto, Level, and Vertical upright modes to automatically correct perspective.
Upright modes in Lightroom for mobile (Android) -
-
Once you have drawn at least two guides, the photo transforms interactively. You can draw up to four guides on your photo in any of the following combinations:
- Two horizontal guides only or two vertical guides only
- Two horizontal guides and two vertical guides
- Two horizontal guides and one vertical guide
- Two vertical guides and one horizontal guides
- One vertical guide and one horizontal guide
For any other combination, Lightroom for mobile displays an Invalid Guide message.
-
(Optional) While correcting the perspective of your photo, you may get white areas near the image boundaries. To remove the white area, enable the Constrain Crop option, which automatically crops the photo according to the original dimension.
Note:
Some of the Upright modes may crop-off pixels in your photo to correct perspective, even when the Constrain Crop option is off. You may not be able to retrieve the cropped pixels later in the Crop mode.
-
Use the geometry sliders to fine-tune the perspective corrections - Distortion, Vertical, Horizontal, Rotate, Aspect, Scale, X Offset, Y Offset.
- Distortion: Corrects lens barrel distortion (straight lines appearing to bow outward) and pincushion distortion (straight lines appearing to bend inward). Move the slider to the right to correct barrel distortion in your photo; move the slider to the right to correct pincushion distortion.
- Vertical: Makes vertical lines in an image parallel. If the vertical lines are diverging at the bottom edge, move the slider to the left to push the pixels away from that edge; if the vertical lines are diverging at the top edge, move the slider to the right to push the pixels away from that edge.
- Horizontal: Makes horizontal lines in an image parallel. Move the slider to the left to push the pixels away from the right edge; move the slider to the right to push the pixels away from the left edge.
- Rotate: Rotates the image to correct for camera tilt. Move the slider to the left to rotate the image anti-clockwise; move the slider to the right to rotate the image clockwise.
- Aspect: Move the slider to the left to widen the perspective of the photo; move the slider to the right to narrow the perspective of the photo.
- Scale: Adjusts the photo scale up or down while maintaining the aspect ratio. Move the slider to the left to scale down; move the slider to the right to scale up.
- X Offset: Move the slider to the left to shift the image pixels toward left on the x-axis, leaving a white area at the right edge; move the slider to the right to shift the image pixels toward right on the x-axis, leaving a white area at the left edge.
- Y Offset: Move the slider to the left to shift the image pixels downward on the y-axis, leaving a white area at the top edge; move the slider to the right to shift the image pixels upward on the y-axis, leaving a white area at the bottom edge.
