Decoding Lightroom: How to Use the Transform Panel (Sample Video Lesson)

This video comes straight from our Decoding Lightroom video course 🙌
The Transform Panel can help correct lines and other geometric properties of your images. If you shoot architecture or landscape photos, this is a must-watch video.
If you're interested in learning all the ins and outs of Lightroom Classic, this video course will walk you through everything there is to know to master the software. From importing, exporting, and organizing your images, to developing them using adjustment sliders, the tone curve, local adjustment tools, brushes, presets, and profiles. It will even show you a ton of lesser-known tricks, shortcuts, and techniques to really make your Lightroom experience your own.

Very nice of you to bring a4X5 camera that's is real photography I remember have a calumet and the control you have was incredible now as you explain is easier to fix a photo if you now more of edition than the techniques as a real photographer God bless you.

Excellent "quick reference" tutorial. Thank you.

Even though I use Lightroom every day, I'd never used the transform panel before. I guess I didn't quite know what to do with it. I will definitely be giving it a try, to correct some of the lines that bugged me before but thought I couldn't do anything about. Thank you!

I have Lightroom 5.7 dos it work?

[@Contrastly]

For the most part, yes. The Transform settings are in the Lens Corrections panel in the Develop module in LR 5.7 (in later versions Transform gets its own panel).

I am 65 and use to the negative but I am afraid to do something wrong.

[@Contrastly]

@@josea.justiniano3329 Don't be! You can always revert/undo any changes you make in Lightroom :)

[@josea.justiniano3329]

@@Contrastly I promise I gonna do my best to get out of this thanks for your kindness for take of you time to answer me God bless you.

Good thing this video is about LR and not about large format camera adjustments. Your description of the effect of front tilt to control perspective is simply wrong. The plane of the back controls perspective. Front tilt or pivot controls the plane of focus. Please read Ansel's book The Camera or see the Linhof web site and correct your video.

You can always tell when a photographer came to the medium in the digital era. They get so much wrong, and yet they will fight tooth and nail that they know better. Thanks for pointing this mistake out.
