How I Sharpen & Reduce Noise in Lightroom

[@petergottschling2597]

Anthony, you are the most patient and kind sounding instructor I have listened to for Lightroom. Thanks

[@boatman222345]

Maybe Anthony didn't invent this technique but he sure 'n hell is the first one to tell me about it! One of those "obvious" techniques once you see it, but not one that occurs to you until somebody like Anthony points it out. Great tip! and as always very well explained and demonstrated. Thanks! Simply put this is one of the best photography sites I've ever encountered!

[@billmerritt7199]

No one explains it better that Mr. Morganti. He is the Yoda of LR. My genuine appreciation for his talent and presentation(s).

[@Krateez]

I've been watching your videos for quite a while, and in my opinion you are by far the best explicator of lightroom techniques. Thank you very much and keep up the good work!

[@silentdrive3243]

Even though we now have the new masking options, I cannot stress enough how important it is to still understand how the "Old" way works. Thank you for all the videos. I'm on a new working journey as an editor now. 99% from all of your videos. Thank you!

[@russellschundler6559]

That was by far the best coverage of noise management I have seen to date. Previously, I did not differentiate between color noise and luminance noise. I also never caught the concept of duplicating a mask. A BIG thanks to you!

[@dilip24383]

Valuable content for Adobe Lightroom beginner to learn how to reduce noise. Thank You for making such easy to follow video.

[@hurleygreen927]

Thanks for clearing up differences between Clarity and Texture sliders! I find myself preferring Texture most of the time: THANKS!

[@alexandriadodson4189]

Some of these tutorials are hard to follow along with, but you have a great way of explaining that is easy to comprehend. You're great! Thanks!

[@edgarcorrea]

Great video Anthony. Thanks.

You are one of the few I can understand and learn from. Would like to see editing techniques for Milky way shots.

[@leniehulse1621]

Great video as usual! I learnt something new today - I always did these two steps globally before!!

[@bobtpapa]

Great video again. Your instruction is clear and easy to follow. Your repetition is excellent for helping remember the process...

[@D9everything]

Once again showing me why I subbed. You're invaluable - you really know how to explain without confusing and losing track of your subject matter unlike so many in this field.

[@jimmiemarchio]

Another great job Anthony!!! Most of my lightroom capabilities have come from you. THANK YOU!!

[@ttk0139]

excellent tutorial!

[@donnamelsness276]

Wonderful video! Thank you Anthony.

[@Kalohe56]

Thank you, great video Anthony I love the simplicity and clarity of how you teach.

[@souvikroychoudhury1361]

Man... seems you have answers to the questions I was seeking response for a long time!!! THANK YOU

[@yunishmagar4268]

I learned lightroom from you thank you 🥰☺️

[@footsy420]

I found this works great for prints and for noise but if you share your image on social media a lot of that sharpening gets lost or can turn into ghosting artifacts from down sizing. Now I've learned that it's important to sharpen at the resolution that you plan to use the photo at. Unfortunately this can mean sharpening multiple times for one image but the results for me are much better.

[@carol5155]

This was brilliant... thank you. xx

[@sajadrika1503]

Thanks so much for such an amazing content, I learned heaps.

[@leslielanderkin8301]

[@mako261b]

great video. one question:how did you get that spot zoom?

[@charlesmolt7706]

thanks for such awesome teaching. i

[@bt10ant]

Great explanation....really helps me. Thanks. I agree with "oregon" below for editing night sky or Milky Way shots. A lot of us do them....

[@WondersOfNature_Anuj]

I absolutely loved this technique. Thank you so much for being an awesome teacher :)

[@markattardo]

Great info!

[@harveyarber8679]

i think i just learned a new trick thank you

[@marcelahinnant9809]

Thanks, great video.

[@ZOly62]

Hi Anthony, great video like always but I have one suggestion. Lightroom CC has a new fetures called Texture. Maybe you should make a video about that. When to use (and how) Texture, Clarity and Sharpnes - Globally and Localy, on some examples? I think it could be very interesting for many users of Lightroom because new sliders and features are sometimes confusing because it overalps some funcitions. Keep going, big support!

[@thelberg62]

Excellent! Thank you for sharing. This was well explained, and very usefull!

[@cristianogiani702]

OK Anthony, thanks...

[@tobywoolgar9517]

Thanks AM 👍👍👍👍👍

[@artmaltman]

Excellent. Thanks!

[@bowerdw]

I am adding reduction of sharpness, clarity and the new texture slider (reducing that slider) to my noise reduction. This in conjunction with the noise slider are offering significant noise reduction. However, they also increase the blurring of the background. To date, that increase in blur hasn't mattered. I am sure that the blur can be adjusted with different levels of the sliders involved.

[@Budfrog23]

Great Vid - Thanks - the gorilla kinda reminds me of a few people

[@sveneezy2059]

So instead of using the buttons you apply manually?

[@dhedc]

Very helpful. Do you think it would be better to do this level of work in Photoshop?

[@EastwoodFabrication]

Are you using these steps before you begin your processing or after? Thank you!

[@209lapko]

Thank you sir! your Brilliant...

[@aaz148a]

That duplicate thing is ingenious!!!

[@kennethtwist8662]

Excellent, presented with your usual perfection. thanks

[@Noealz]

I try to keep my sharpening and noise reduction mostly to lightroom

[@ryanasak]

Thank you.

[@carmengeorgeweddings3906]

I can't find these things in my version of lightroom

[@dougdavies1089]

excellent

Hello Anthony. First, I love watching your videos. Thank you. Question: Now that Lr added a Texture slider would you use sharpening differently? Maybe use Texture instead of Sharpening?

[@footsy420]

I like texture for making the parts that are a little out of focus sharper. For instance the far eye on the first gorilla would get a texture brush from me. You can also use it to make out of focus areas softer. It eliminates noise very well. I usually use a brush with a bit of texture and sharpening mixed.

[@BobG-eh5fc]

You talk about only turning overlay on when you are close to edges, but you never say why. Great video as usual, thanks.

[@jeffellis6544]

Thats so you can see when you spill over into the area you don't want selected. And fix it.

[@AndyDay]

"Stay away from the gorilla." Yup.

[@jimw136]

P L E A S E. I am completely befuddled by the new masking. I liked the previous version. I get "select sky" and select Subject", but I don't get erasing what I don't want. But if I just want to manipulate that rock or tree, I can't get it. If I happen to go outside the lines on that milk can with a brush, I cannot erase the excess. Used to be able to color choose and LR would erase the excess. I am sure that I am the problem, but I am frustrated. And no one has a book out to help. Love your videos, but I can't "walk and chew gum". Thank you in advance.

[@Makta972]

Quite noisy @ iso 1800 for a full frame camera..

[@mswhite1532]

Makta972 I believe he stated he was using a Nikon D500 which is a crop sensor camera.

[@janiejohnsonlawson8452]

Why do you not just leave the auto mask on?

[@charlesmolt7706]

looks like my mother-in-law. on second thought that would be an insult to the gorilla

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Sorry, later on in the video you talk about auto mask on/off
