A guide to installing brushes in Lightroom + a Free Brush

July 29, 2016

It's not a secret that I love Lightroom; it's such a powerful photo editor and one of my favorite features is the fact that you can make changes locally in an image. Meaning, you can just make changes to a portion of the image instead to the whole image. The brush tool comes in super handy to apply changes in areas where you want extra detail or contrast.

I've been using this brush I call Carved to add extra sharpens and clarity, with just a hint of contrast. I love to use on my flower photography; it makes the petals extra crispy and vibrant. It's free for you to play.

Download Carved for free

Hey, but I never installed a brush before! How do I do that?

Quick Guide to installing brushes to Lightroom

Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Download your free brush Carved.
  2. Open Lightroom.
  3. Go to Edit and then click on Preferences.
  4. Click on the box that says Show Lightroom Presets Folder.
  5. Double click on Lightroom, then double click on Local Adjustments Folder.
  6. Copy or drag your free preset to this folder.
  7. Re-start Lightroom.
  8. Now, when you click on the Brush Tool, you select Carved from the menu and apply it where you want an extra sharpness and details.
