You can learn more about using Opal's Advanced Mode in this video This is so SO powerful! In just a few seconds, you can make advanced edits that used to take hours, and design amazing new preset variations with a few clicks. So now, you can independently adjust the Tones, ColorCast, ColorPalette & Details of your presets. It would be WAY too overwhelming to include every setting (or even every Lightroom panel) to Opal. So instead, I've grouped the advanced options using the 4 building blocks of Lightroom style I teach in my Lightroom Mastery course. One feature I really wanted was a way to adjust the opacity of different Lightroom settings individually, to create more complex adjustments in Lightroom. Opal works flawlessly here, even with VSCO's custom camera profile, and complex R/G/B tone curves! Here's an example of Opal adjusting the strength of a VSCO film preset (in this case, it's Portra 800+¹ ++ from VSCO 06): And work with presets that use a custom White Balance (and give you a way to choose the white balance you mix it with). This means making sure that Opal could work with Lightroom presets that use custom camera profiles (like VSCO presets, NATE presets, DVLOP presets, etc). It was important to me that Opal work well with ANY Lightroom Preset (yes, even one that I didn't design). Opal works great with ANY Lightroom Preset (yep, even that one)

Meet Opal - the crazy good Lightroom Opacity Slider for all your presets (Ok, maybe not, but still, it sucks, right?). If you have ever tried to adjust each setting by hand, I'm guessing it ended with you either giving up, or throwing your laptop against the wall in a tone-curve-induced rage. Just look at this wall of settings you'd need to go through! Why? Because Lightroom presets can have very complex settings in them.
