What the 75 workflow tools do

The Complete Workflow edition includes 18 signature looks plus 75 targeted editing presets. Many use Lightroom’s AI masks to adjust a person, background, sky or detected feature separately, so you can refine the photograph as well as apply its color style.

• Portrait retouching · 12 tools: Soften facial and body skin texture, balance uneven skin brightness, reduce skin redness or orange casts and shine, brighten eyes, gently whiten teeth, and define hair and clothing. A combined retouch covers skin softening, eyes, teeth and hair; other controls remain separate.

• Subject, background and sky · 23 tools: Lift your subject, control highlights and shadows, brighten or darken the background, adjust its warmth, soften distracting texture, and add atmospheric depth or haze. Includes sky, ground, foliage and full-landscape enhancements.

• Color correction and washes · 10 tools: Counter blue, green or magenta casts on the subject or background, or add a creative background color wash.

• Lighting · 10 tools: Add warm or cool light spills, shape directional subject light and shadow, or refine the inner edge of the subject for separation. Adjust the supplied gradients to suit your photograph.

• Finishing · 10 tools: Refine color intensity, midtones, highlights, shadows, contrast, clarity and texture.

• Grain and vignette · 7 tools: Choose fine, medium or heavy grain, soft or strong edge darkening, or switch either effect off.

• Starting point · 3 tools: Optional Auto tone and color, Auto white balance, or the camera’s As Shot white balance.

Start with exposure and white balance, choose one Dead Poets look, then add only the tools your photo needs. The included guide explains the editing order and which tools are alternatives. The five supporting profiles are included for the looks that require them.

AI masks need a supported Lightroom version, eligible Adobe plan and compatible device. Update and inspect selections for each photo; edges or small features may need manual refinement. Skin softening does not remove blemishes, background softening is not lens blur, and highlight recovery cannot recreate detail lost at capture.

Designed for current Lightroom Classic on desktop and standard SDR editing. Full AI functionality requires an eligible paid Adobe plan. Adobe software is not included.

Desktop and mobile setup instructions are included. Mobile features vary by platform. For the full iPhone/iPad setup, use Lightroom’s cloud-based desktop app to sync presets and profiles through the same Adobe ID. Lightroom Classic alone does not sync presets. Android supports importing profiles and presets, but some AI edits may not transfer. See the included guide for compatibility details.
