How to use the Radial filter in Lightroom

Colin Smith

In this free tutorial, Colin Smith teaches you how to use the Radial tool in Lightroom.

Radial Filter. I like to call this the super vignette. You can create ovals of any size, angle and shape. If you’re using a raw image, all the raw adjustments will be available inside or outside the oval. This enables spot color correction and a tone more. Imagine a vignette where you can use any time of adjustment? You can invert the selection or feather it, from a hard edge, to a very soft edge. You it for an off center spotlight and a whole ton more. One of the most fun tools in the toolset.
