Enhancing a Formula 1 Photo in Adobe Lightroom: A Step-by-Step Tutorial

Here’s how I made this Formula 1 photo go from this to this in Adobe Lightroom. Alright, so I’m gonna raise the exposure a little bit and then raise the contrast, lower the highlights, bring up the shadows a bit, raise the whites and raise the blacks as well. And then you can copy my curve settings here and then I’m gonna set the white balance to daylight and raise the saturation a bit. I’m gonna speed through the color mixer here. You can screenshot each tab if you wanna copy it. Then I’m gonna lower the clarity and lower the dehaze slightly and then I’m gonna bring a linear mask down from the top and raise the exposure, raise the contrast and lower the dehaze. And then I’m gonna bring a linear mask from the bottom and lower the exposure and raise the contrast and then I’m gonna bring a radial mask and put it over top of the car and raise the clarity.
