BRANDON SARKIS: My name is Brandon Sarkis on behalf of Expert Village. Today, I'm going
to be showing you how to use Adobe's Lightroom Software. Alright so now, we're going to go
into the loop view here. So we're going to go over here. You can hit the utility key
or you can go to the new bar and hit the cycle loop views. You're going to see--you get the
"before and after" split which is kinda cool. You can adjust this, or just hit the utility
key to toggle it off and on. You can go down here to the control bar, and you can see here,
you can switch the "after" to the "before" side, before to after side. You can use this
button to swap sides. Unfortunately, both sides look alike right now so you can't see
what I'm doing. And you can go up here and you can, of course, click on this and drag
this around and zoom-in. So if you want to see some before and after detail, you could.
We can really see good close up shot of Chango's ear at this point, which is pretty unnecessary.
We can go into here. We can see our crop settings. It's our little graph to give us an idea of
what we're lookin' at. So we can go to here, we can click on this, and we can find this
part we want to focus in on. This is also good for doing like layouts. So let's make
this a little bit bigger so we can fit his whole head inside of it. We'll move his head
to this side. We want more room. His ears are a little too big. So I have to make this
just a little bit bigger to accommodate his head and his mouth and everything here. Let's
see, we're going to click here. We're going to go--we're going to crop this out like this.
Push your return and there's our new photo all cropped out, nice close up. I'm just going
to hit command-Z and undo this real quick to get back to my original source photo. And
that was where I zoom-in on top of his head again. Down here, you're going to see the
"reduce red eye" feature. So if you had red eye, you'd click on it here, and you drag
out to the size of his eye. And then, you just hit return and you're done. It effectively
removes the red eye, and we'll undo that because there wasn't any red eye to do here in this
photo. Let's see, I'm going to scroll back down to the control bar here. And I'm going
to show you the main view there, and then, there's the split pane view. And then this
right here, this will remove spots. So if you have dust on the photo, or if you had
something on your lens, or dust on the mirror of your camera, you could click here and click
on the spot. And then--that will be the spot that you want to clone. Then, you would click
on the next spot that you want to cover. And so, although what we're doing here, basically,
is we're just giving him multiple nostrils, which looks kinda strange. So I'm just going
to undo this and that's how to use the loop view for up close editing.
