Use the Quick Develop panel

• Choose a Develop preset from the Saved Preset pop-up menu. The menu automatically changes to Custom whenever you adjust other settings in the Quick Develop panel. By choosing the Default Settings preset, photos are automatically reset to Lightroom Classic default import settings.

  Tip: To quickly navigate the Saved Preset list, type a letter to go to that part of the list. For example, type S to go to the Sharpening preset.

• Crop photos by choosing a new crop ratio from the pop-up menu. To add more choices to the list, select Enter Custom, type new crop dimensions for the width and height in the Aspect Ratio boxes, and click OK.

• Change photos to grayscale by selecting Grayscale from the Treatment menu.

• Apply a white balance preset by choosing it from the White Balance pop-up menu.

• Fine-tune the white balance by adjusting the Temperature and Tint settings. Click the arrow buttons to incrementally increase or decrease the Kelvin temperature, green tint, or magenta tint.

• Adjust individual tone settings by clicking their arrow buttons. For example, adjust overall image brightness by clicking the Exposure buttons. Each click adjusts the exposure in increments of a third of an f-stop or one full stop.

• Click the Auto Tone button to apply automatic Lightroom Classic settings for Exposure, Blacks, Brightness, and Contrast.

  Tip: To adjust the tone automatically in photos, select the Apply Auto Tone Adjustments option in Presets preferences.

• Adjust the Clarity setting to enhance the mid-tones of your image.
• Adjust the Vibrance setting to change the saturation of all lower-saturated colors with less effect on the higher-saturated colors.
• Press Alt (Windows)/Option (macOS) to reveal the Sharpening and Saturation settings. Use these settings to change the sharpness and depth of colors in your image.

The single-arrow buttons adjust the settings in smaller increments than the double-arrow buttons.
