    Very interesting feature for LR, thank you for showing it to us. I wonder if the same technique can be used to balance skin tones when LED lights are used and slightly blow out skin tones, in night club images? I've done a few DJ pictures, which have been ruined by club lights. I'll feedback after this weekend as I'm shooting at my festival.

    First time on your channel. Great video that deserved a like. Even 4 months after this new Lightroom feature you showed an excellent application of curves inside a mask. Question: does the 'original' version of the 2nd model look like it has a little green tint, or is it just my monitor? After all you adjusted the color tone curve towards magenta.

  • @willsimpsonphoto

    @willsimpsonphoto

    10 ай бұрын

    It might be the monitor. On my screen it looks magenta, but it also could be that the TINT wasn't touched so could be slightly greenish.

    i need to do something like this for flooring in a home. I am a Realtor and when the windows are open you get this sheen in front of the window on the floor. But your method doesnt work for that.

  • @willsimpsonphoto

    @willsimpsonphoto

    4 ай бұрын

    correct, this method wouldnt because its for skin tones. best way to do that is to either wait until the lighting is even like early in morning or near sunset. a cloudy day might help as well.

    Question: If you are going to use the power of masks, why don't you apply this method to Face and body skin only and edit the rest of the elements (hair, cloths etc) separately. Select the face etc then intersect with luminence. Great method BTW.

  • @willsimpsonphoto

    @willsimpsonphoto

    5 ай бұрын

    You can absolutely do that. But for the highlights, to be super selective I think you’d still have to use a luminance mask. So you could intersect them.
