Mimic a polarizing filter effect in Lightroom 3

Posted by: Andrei Oprinca on September 15, 2011 in Effects, Techniques, Tutorials 4 Comments

Polarizing filters are a very useful piece of glass. They help get clearer images, remove reflections, create more vivid colors and make the skies look beautiful. In this tutorial I will show you how to reproduce this effect using LightRoom 3. It’s very easy.

Reproducing this effect in Photoshop is more complicated but if you want to learn how to do it, please post a comment requesting the tutorial.

About Andrei Oprinca

Hello, my name is Andrei, I was born in 1988 and I'm a self taught graphic artist (I don't consider myself an artist though, I'll have to check for the definition of that). I write Photoshop tutorials about all the techniques I know and I also provide my brushes and also stock images and other resources. I hope you like my site.

    I would like a tutorial thanks. I’m about to go and take photos of a classic car show next week so these tips are going to help as I don’t have a polarizing filter for my wide angle lens yet.
