Luminosity Masks in Lightroom / An Adobe Lightroom Classic 2020 Tutorial
Luminosity masks are a popular technique for editing landscape photos in Adobe Photoshop. But what about Lightroom? Does it support luminosity masks? Yes, indeed! While not exactly the same as Photoshop, the technique demonstrated in this video will show you how to target specific areas of your photos using luminosity values in Adobe Lightroom.

Hi Todd, I highly appreciate your way of explaining complex things in an understandable and straight-forward way. Compliments and THANKS

Excellent .. I appreciate how thorough and detailed you were in explaining this information. Thank you!!
Thanks a lot Ted. I really appreciated your video. Fantastic luminosity masks!
So good. It’s been there for me and I never knew. So many images spring to mind where I can use this technique. Thanks buckets!

Todd thank you so much for this video. I didn't know this existed and it will be a huge time saver for me. Thank you bud!
Thank you for sharing this knowledge, this is very useful
WOW! This is gonna seriously UP my post processing game! I prefer to use Lightroom over Photoshop for the exact reasons you said. However, I went to Photoshop for the masks because I didn't know Lightroom had these capabilities. So slick. Thank you!! (Liked and Subscribed today. Fan for life!)
Very cool technique, new stuff to add to my toolbox. Thanks!!
Excellent tutorial. I've heard some of this before, but I think I understand it now.
Gracias, Todd!!.. Excellent!!
Wish I had found you sooner! Thanks for the clear and concise info 👍
Brilliant tutorial! That really helps. Thanks!
Hi Todd it was a very clear explanation of luminosity! It was great well done!😎
Thanks my friend! I watched the whole video (including the ads). First time on your channel, I will go over some other of your videos 👍
Very good explanation. I think I finally understand this feature.
Great video Todd. Never knew LR has this feature!
I had heard about luminosity masks but your explanation is easy to understand!!
Cool! Good work explaining. Thanks.
Excellent tutorial, similar like luma range in capture one.
Clear directions and well presented.
Thanks so much. Very informational!
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks!
Bien expliqué et bien utile. Je vous en remercie beaucoup.
Thanks Todd. I learned a lot.
Thnx for making Lightroom great again!
Very useful - been using the graduated filter with brush, this is a lot more efficient
Excellent demonstration. You have a new subscriber!
Thank you, Todd. Your presentation was wonderful.
Great, very useful info, thanks a lot!!
I like that you stay in the lane of what you want to teach in a very understandable way. Would have loved to see a full edit with the "luminosity mask"
Excellent video. Never knew this feature existed before.
great job! cool style of video!
Wow just wow 🤩 never knew lightroom could do that.
Great video, your explanation and demo were easy to comprehend. Any plans to discuss the new color grading tool?
Superb and many thanks. Lovely fireside chat style BTW! I can think of two lovely photosd I tok on a trip “up north” recently I will try this on. I’ll also “mess aound” with LR Mobile and wee hiw much I can try there.
I had no idea you could do this with Lightroom. Great tutorial.
My mind is officially blown. The tools were there all time -- I used them but this opens up some additional options. Very nicely done. Also -- the presentation was well paced and a lot of the BS was absent... which torpedoes so many otherwise good tutorials. Thanks for the insight.
Thank you, I have just learnt something new and saved a photo i thought was useless.
Hi Todd, great video/tutorial on Lightroom Luminosity Masks. I've only recently started looking at masks to fine-tune parts of my images. I've watched your video about 4 times now and I've found it very helpful. I applied the filter mask to images I took this weekend and was pleasantly surprised as I was able to pull back some finer cloud details in the sky. Clouds figure a lot in my images. Thanks Todd.

Great!!!
Thanks Todd. Good workround but lets hope that Adobe realise the importance of luminosity masks in pp and add this function to a subsequent version in the near future.
Very good video please do more videos 👍
Thank you for sharing valuable content in such an impressive style!
Brill 👍🏻
Great¡¡¡
I really appreciate the pace at which you explain things. I also really appreciate that you don't use a lot of hotkeys.
does this create banding because wen i do this in photoshop there is are visible sings of banding
in the new updates how do i check the luminosity range exactly at my mask ? it does not show anymore . for the luminosity range i have to check all the photo . i don t like it
You refer to "turning off the mask". How did you do that? Is there a keyboard shortcut?
How would you fix white edges and still keep it in Lightroom?
Thanks Todd. Wonderful explanation. Had no idea. I have only seen Photoshop explanations. The next step is to ask, is there any way to take that mast and apply other edits, ie tone curve, details, etc? I was using Luminar and able to apply any edit type to a luminosity mask and they removed the capability from the newest version! Dumb.

Thanks James. Don't believe Tone Curve edits are possible, but you could apply Dehaze or Clarity to the same mask. Or if you'd rather not do everything together, you could right-click on the local adjustment (the bubble on your image), duplicate it, then move a little so they don't overlap. Then you could apply edits to that. Hope that makes sense.

@@dominey ThanksTodd but I was using luminosity masks for some other edits, ie filters, colors, softening, etc. in Luminar 4 before they deleted it from the new AI version. Not sure I understand why in Lightroom, once you create any mask, you dont have access to all edit types. Doesnt seem to me to be that complicated and the functionality is amazing. Luminar's ambassador says Skylum thought luminosity masks were too complex for users and it wasn't used that much. Not sure how they know that.
I had trouble seeing where you turned on the mask.
Quite high chances
Great video but you lost me on the duplication and the filter on the dark areas? I couldn't see how you maintain the first filter on the light areas, and not affect it, when using the second one? I just got lost, and maybe need to go to a more basic tutorial?
At one point you mentioned duplicating the mask. I didn't catch how you did that.
I guess you can't edit the mask tough after the initial selection, only pull the slider to change what it grabs. I wish you could go in with an eraser and make changes to it after the initial selection was made.

Please add some arrow overlays to the control panels and slow down when you are making changes to the image. We the viewers can’t look at the changes you are making at the same time we see what you are doing in the panel. Maybe that should be 2 shots. Also, adding the mask was offscreen. Your script is clear and I’m grateful you don’t ramble.
The inserted adds are really annoying but video is very good and helpful
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for this extremely helpful video! Sub for me!
Far too long-winded. Stop repeating yourself for goodness sake!
