This Week on The Grid: Smarter Editing in Lightroom & Photoshop

This week’s episode of The Grid is packed with editing techniques you can put to work right away. Scott Kelby and Erik Kuna cover everything from processing fireworks photos in Lightroom to putting the new Platypod Bracket & Bounce through a real-world lighting test for better portraits.

Scott also takes a close look at the latest Lightroom and Camera Raw updates, making the case that the most underrated new feature isn’t duplicate detection—it’s the dramatically improved Select Subject masking. The enhanced masking tools make it faster and easier to create accurate selections, whether you’re refining portraits, replacing backgrounds, or making targeted adjustments.

The episode also includes a walkthrough of Scott’s fireworks editing workflow, plus Erik’s demonstration of how an affordable star tracker can help produce cleaner, more detailed Milky Way images.

Whether you’re looking to improve your editing workflow or pick up a few new shooting techniques, there’s plenty here to inspire your next project. Watch the replay below.
