Command + Option (Mac) | Control + Alt (Win)-drag will duplicate local adjustments made with the Radial Filter, Gradient Filter and the Adjustment brush. Note: since local adjustment pins made with the Adjustment Brush cannot be moved, the dragging gesture is treated the same as clicking, which means both gestures (dragging or clicking) will duplicate the selected correction in place.
In this episode of The Complete Picture (The Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush), discover the power of making selective adjustments like dodging and burning, color corrections and noise removal using the Graduated Filter and Adjustment Brush. Note: although this video was recorded in Lightroom, the same techniques are available in Adobe Camera Raw in Photoshop CS6.
Here are a few shortcuts for the Graduated Filter tool:
• Option (Mac) / Alt (Win) + ‘ (apostrophe) changes the direction of the Graduated Filter (after drawing it).
• Option (Mac) / Alt (Win) +-drag the Graduated Filter to scale the graduated area from the center. In other words, the graduated area will be drawn outwards – in both directions, from the initial click point.
• Shift -drag constrains Graduated Filter to a straight line (90 degrees horizontal or vertical).
• “H” Hide/Show Pins.
In this video tutorial (Create Stunning Images in Lightroom 3), Julieanne will show you the best way to make global and local color and tonal corrections to your images and take advantage of new world-class noise reduction capabilities.
Note: This tutorial is part of the Lightroom 3 Getting Started Series.
When using the Graduated filter Shift -dragging constrains the Graduated Filter to 15 degree angles. When finished refining the controls for one graduated Filter, tapping “N” commits the current Graduated Filter adjustment and targets the New option (as oppose to Editing the current adjustment). The “N” key also works with the Adjustment Brush.
