Chapter 8: Developing photos
The Develop module in Adobe®
Photoshop®
Lightroom® includes controls for adjusting the color and tonal scale of
your photos. You can apply adjustments both globally (to the entire photo) and locally (to selected areas of a photo).
All adjustments are nondestructive, which means Lightroom never degrades the original image data. You can also
easily apply global adjustments made on one photo to many others, making quick work of correcting multiple photos
from a shoot or event.

Develop module panels and tools
The Develop module contains two sets of panels and a toolbar for viewing and editing a photo. On the left are the
Navigator, Presets, Snapshots, and History panels for previewing, saving, and selecting changes you’ve made to a
photo. On the right are the tools and panels for making global and local adjustments to a photo. The toolbar contains
controls for tasks such changing between Before and After views, playing an impromptu slide show, and zooming.
