Video that went through the choices step-by-step was marvelous. Have been so wrapped up in using Adobe Photoshop that I hadn't noticed how much improved Photos was on my Mac. This is much simpler. Thank you.

At 3:39 and the discussion following, concerning the same image; there are saturated 'highlights' around the nose and left (i. e. right as we observe it) cheek that look "bothersome" to me. Too much saturation...how to eliminate it?
John: At 3:39? Not sure what you mean. If you have highlights you want to get rid of, try lowering "Highlights" like I mentioned. Also the other lighting controls.

The more I learn about Photos (thanks Gary!) the more I'm tempted to leave Lightroom. Photos meets my needs for editing, but the organizational capability of Lightroom keeps me "straddling the fence".

Great video full of useful tips! Does the Photos app allow you to make these changes to RAW images and JPEG both?
Thank you.
