Colin as usual you go in-depth on a feature we ALL need to know for our standard workflow with masks, the intersect tool is so helpful!

Nice one Collins! I usually do all my masking in Photoshop, but anything that can help before sending it to Photoshop is a real plus. Very helpful tutorial.

Great video/tutorial, many thanks Colin.

Beautifully explained. For me the video was extremely informative and helpful. Well done 👏

Your every tutorial is very useful, nicely explained.

I could have really used this tutorial last week. Thank you, this will be very useful when editing sunrises and sunsets over the mountains.

Absolutely useful, I have not went into the deep in those new features just yet, and you definitely helped getting there.

Excellent problem solving video. Thank you kindly

Very useful for solving a problem I've had in many images. Now to see if I can follow the steps! Always appreciated. I love your tutorials.

A very helpful tutorial for a subject that frustrates me. And thank you also for the write up. Cheers...

Thank you! This is very helpful for my photography. ♥

Very useful Collin. I need to fully study the new features of LRC, especially masks. Thanks

The intersecting tip with luminance range is such amaro move. Thank you!

Excellent Tutorial thank you

very cool,thanks so much for the info.

Thanks Colin!

Great way to fine tune a mask. Also I never thought of going back and forth between the mask adjustments and main adjustments.

Very Useful.. Thank You...

Once again, a very helpful tutorial Colin. I didn't realize that you could use luminosity to refine a ACR mask. That's why I'm a big fan of your tuts! 😊

Thanks Colin that’s helped a lot I was struggling a bit with luminance but this has cleared it up.

Thanks, getting rid of halos is very helpful.

U r a gem...

I'm still trying to get my head around this. But this helped.

I can still see the edges though and I am waiting for Lr to do something about it! You are doing your best anyway and thank you.

I’m still not clear on the intersect function in masking. I’ll keep trying. I’m getting there though ! Thanks .

Colin could you explained the difference between “invert” and “duplicate and invert”? This is a very helpful tutorial. Thank you!

Invert simply swaps the masked and unmasked areas - you still have only one mask. Duplicate and invert creates a new mask which is the inverse of the first, such that you end up with two masks. As a simple example of a use case, say you wanted to sharpen and increase contrast on your subject and maybe reduce noise and slightly desaturate the background. First create a subject mask and apply the sharpening and contrast increase, then use duplicate and invert to create the second mask. Select the newly created mask - which will include everything but the subject - and apply the noise reduction and desaturation.

This was helpful

Thanks! Haven't used these techniques before. Is there a way to save the mask to use outside of ACR? For something like a sky replacement or other elements?

You can't export the masks, but photoshophas a really good sky replacement that you can export

@@photoshopcafe thanks! It would be nice to create masks with the luminosity pieces!

This seems like the right answer but Lightroom doesn't seem to be responding to luminance mask changes ): Maybe my video card just isn't gonna cut it on this computer.

Quite complicated. Will watch it 3 or 4 times to make understanding secure. Useful advice, most helpful.

As far as I could see, the halos were still very much there

It only worked on the main deciduous tree left of the building. The edges of the row of the conifer trees still had large halos at their tops.

There is no save in LR, its always saved

These are helpful, but too fast. Clearly, no one in these videos is an actual teacher.
