Preview highlight and shadow clipping
You can preview tonal clipping in a photo as you work on it. Clipping is the shifting of pixel values to the highest
highlight value or the lowest shadow value. Clipped areas are either completely white or completely black, and have
no image detail. You can preview clipped areas as you adjust the tone sliders in the Basic panel.
For a video on adjusting shadows and highlights in a photo, see www.adobe.com/go/learn_lr_video_shadow.
Highlight clipped areas
Clipping indicators are located at the top of the Histogram panel in the Develop module. The black (shadow)
clipping indicator is on the left, and the white (highlight) indicator is on the right.
• Move the Blacks slider and watch the black clipping indicator. Move the Exposure or Recovery sliders and watch
the white clipping indicator. An indicator turns white when clipping in all channels occurs. A colored clipping
indicator means one or two channels are clipped.
• To preview clipping in the photo, move the mouse over the clipping indicator. Click the indicator to keep the
preview on.
Clipped black areas in the photo become blue, and clipped white areas become red.
