There is also sharpness control tool in C1 (like unsharp mask in PS), the
clarity in lightroom is interesting but as someone mentioned, it may be just
another unsharp mask with higher radius for LCE. Be careful about LCE, I
have seen lots of excessive use, it makes the image too harsh and spoil the
soft background. If it is not absolute necessary I will avoid using it.

I mainly use WB tool to adjust color and curve for contrast if necessary. I
never found it necessary to match colour with the tools like IT8 targets for
digital images.
