What are Scott Kivowitz's signature techniques for photography processing in Lightroom?

Hi there!

From what I share publicly, a few Lightroom processing habits stand out as “signature” in how I work and teach:

• Building and using process presets so you can apply a consistent look quickly, then fine‑tune per image
• Starting with lens corrections and basic exposure/white balance before anything stylized
• Using HSL and local tools (radial/linear gradients and brush) to guide the eye with subtle dodging and burning
• Keeping presets modular: separate presets for base tone, color style, grain, vignettes, and even export looks (like LUT-style conversions), so they stack cleanly

If you tell me what you like to shoot (portraits, landscapes, street, etc.), I can map these ideas into a simple step‑by‑step workflow for you.
