Start with an auto adjustment and fine tune your edits with changes to the brightness, contrast, and color in a photo.
🎨 4. Enhance Photos with Presets in Lightroom on the Web
Take advantage of presets to jumpstart your image editing or explore new creative styles.
📁 5. Organize and Share Your Photos Using Lightroom on the Web
Use albums and folders to organize your photos and create a link to share an album as an online web gallery.
