Frequently Asked Lightroom Questions

Master your editing workflow and prevent common photo mistakes.

Why do my photos look dull when I upload them to Instagram?

You exported using the ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB color space instead of sRGB. Web browsers and Instagram only support sRGB.

How do I fix orange skin without desaturating the entire photo?

Never touch the global Saturation slider. Instead, go to Color Mixer (HSL) → Orange and lower Saturation to -15 while raising Luminance to +20.

What is the fastest way to set pure black and white points?

Hold down the Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac) key while dragging the Whites and Blacks sliders in the Basic panel.
