James Paterson explains how to expertly edit your images in Lightroom and get the most out of its profiles

A recent update to Lightroom saw the introduction of a new feature that has the potential to change the way you edit your photos for good.

Profiles allow you to kick-start your image editing by offering a series of tonal starting points that can be applied with a single click. Some, like the ‘Adobe Raw’ profiles, are optimized to suit different types of Raw photos like landscapes or portraits. Others, like the rather cool Vintage profile we used on our image here, act more like Instagram filters and retro toning treatments.
