In particular I have been really looking hard at some of the features of Adobe Lightroom which have until now remained largely ignored. Mostly this year I have avoided the temptation to do any heavy editing of photos, but over the last few days, I have been staring at a few photos taken last year and wondering if I could have made better use of what came out after I&#8217;d pressed the shutter.<\/p>\n<p>As such, I have been experimenting, and if I am honest, I am pretty pleased with the results.<\/p>\n<p>The shots below are in pairs, the first is exactly what came out of the camera, the second is the end result of editing and cropping using just Lightroom<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll leave it up to you to decide which you
