As you can see in the images the clarity slider in Lightroom darkens contrasty image areas, reduces the color saturation and slightly bleeds over the edges. The Texture slider improves the contrast in an area and doesn’t affect surrounding areas. Now the original image vs. the image with Clarity set to -100.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

You asked, should you use clarity<\/strong> in Lightroom<\/strong>? Clarity<\/strong> takes the mid-tones of an image and enhances them, bringing sharpness to a photo and increasing the texture found there. It is great to use as a spot tool and can be the perfect way to enhance your images in Lightroom.<\/p>\n

Beside above, what is the difference between clarity and sharpness? Compared to contrast, clarity<\/strong> is a finer paintbrush, shifting only the contrast between mid-tones. Sharpness is the finest paintbrush of all three, precisely adjusting contrast between each pixel. Sharpness is a great tool to use if you want to add texture to your image.<\/p>\n
