Optimizing in Lightroom Classic on “Happiness Hour”

I recently gave an online presentation focused on optimizing photos in Lightroom Classic as part of “The Happiness Hour” series hosted by Linda Nickell (https://lindanickell.com/schedule).

My focus for this presentation was on exercising maximum control over your images, with an emphasis on targeted adjustments using the recently updated masking features in Lightroom Classic 12. The full presentation was recorded, and you can view that recording on the “Tim Grey TV” channel on YouTube here:
