Renaming folders is one of those tedious tasks that is often a source of self-inflicted injury to many Lightroom Classic (LrC) users. The process is simple in LrC, and yes, there is a way to do it outside of LrC (but it is even more tedious).

On a Mac, that path starts with the volume name and on Windows the path starts with the drive letter, but in both cases the path goes on to include every folder and subfolder down to the actual filename of...

Last Tuesday, (in Part 2), we talked about one of the biggest reasons that I jump over to Photoshop from Lightroom in the first place, which is to remove unwanted “stuff” in my photo, and we went over the Healing Brush and Patch tools.

It’s the Clone Stamp tool, and it’s awesome for removing stuff you don’t want by covering it with something that’s similar nearby. When you use the Clone Stamp tool in conjunction with the tools we learned the last issue, there’s just about nothing you can’t...
