Yes
Hi,

I did a group portrait shoot where one image i'm really pleased with is spoiled by a blinker, the same person is fine on the previous image. Could i cut and past the head or even eyes between the 2 ?

tia,
Mike.
 
In my version of LR, most definitely not. I stand to be corrected though.
 
Mine neither (latest version). Ive done this before, but it was in PS.
 
As above, this is not something you can do in Lightroom - photoshop or similar is needed.
 
If you've got Photoshop, then right click the photo in Lightroom, click 'edit in' and choose Photoshop. Do your editing then save and it will save a copy into Lightroom next to the orginal.
 
Sadly dont have photoshop - think lightroom is ready now for a basic feature like this.

lightroom will never have this feature, it's a photoshop feature for sure- and now lightroom and photoshop are in the same CC bundle, most people who own lightroom now own photoshop too
 
Gone for a trial version of elements....see how it looks :-)

Really? You really believe that most LR owners are PS/LR CC subscribers? i would have thought that most LR users would be standalone, eschewing PS and the joys of paying for LR forever. But if you have evidence to the contrary I'd love to see it.

Light room does no pixel level edits, nor is it ever likely to.

Well, it kind of does...... Healing brush and adjustment brush do that. So do gradient adjustments to some extent. Also, red eye.

Actually, come to think of it, they have whacked a whole load of pixel editing stuff into what's supposed to be a raw processor.

Actually it doesn't do any pixel level editing. It might give the appearance of it but one of the main points of LR is that the original file is unchanged (unedited). PS on the other hand, while you can make changes by adding layers and leaving the original underneath, you can also change the original pixels.
 
Lightroom is NOT an Image Editor, it's a raw developer program.

If you need to edit bit-mapped images then you need something else - such as Photoshop.

I was a long time PS user who added Lightroom when CC came out, because I needed a new catalogue/ library program. i would have thought there are far more legacy PS users than Lightroom which is so comparatively new.

You're right. Lightroom doesn't allow you to do any editing at all. It just pretends.

Light room only makes permanent changes to files If you output to a new format or print, the original files always remains unaltered. such changes as it then does make are fairly crudely selected.
