Multi-Preset Batch Export In Lightroom
Exporting is a mainstay of our Lightroom workflows. You likely have a set of export presets you use again and again to share your work. The multi-export feature has been in Lightroom CC & Classic for a while now. And it’s very handy for certain export workflows. I’ll show you how multi-export works
Whenever you have a set of photos that need to be exported to a variety of sizes, formats, or locations, try the multi-preset options in Lightroom. I use this when preparing photos for copyright registration..

Most edits are finished long before they're truly complete. In this video, I'll show you a simple masking technique I use to bring out important details in black and white photos—the final 5% that helps guide the viewer's eye and strengthen the image.
Harsh light doesn’t have to ruin a photo—it can shape it. In this quick edit, I show how a simple radial mask turns a Denver alley into a strong, guided composition.
Flat light doesn’t have to ruin a good composition. In this new Lightroom tutorial, I show how I use masking to shape directional light, guide the eye, and create more drama from a dull scene.
Lightroom’s HDR mode has a hidden benefit even if you never edit HDR photos. In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you how Visualize HDR can help you find and target your brightest highlights for stronger SDR edits.
Masking gets a lot easier when you stop thinking about tools and start thinking about your photo in segments. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how breaking an image into objects, tones, and colors can help you build better masks faster.
A foggy morning at Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park turned into a perfect candidate for a live edit. Come along as I work through the image start to finish — shaping mood, reflections, atmosphere, and depth in real time.
HDR editing in Lightroom isn’t a default upgrade—it’s a creative choice. The best image is the one that serves the scene, whether that’s HDR or a more restrained SDR edit.
The HDR Limit slider in Lightroom is simple on the surface, but there’s more going on behind the scenes. This video explains how HDR Limit, display capability, and monitor brightness all work together so you can make better HDR editing decisions.

Lightroom may correctly find every person in a photograph and still make a mess when it tries to remove them. That’s what happened with this image from Machu Picchu—the AI rebuilt so much of the scene that walkways and structures no longer made sense.
The better approach was to keep the removals that worked, then break the difficult areas into smaller, more targeted pieces. The AI still does the heavy lifting, but you give it a more manageable problem to solve.
