How To Improve Backlit Portraits In Lightroom

This short tutorial from the lightroomzen give some good tips for editing an image with some pretty strong backlight. The main problem with strong backlit images is that the contrast is too low so you will need to bring it up (in many cases – like in the image in the example above – quite a bit up). There are some other useful tips later on in the video so make sure to check it out.
