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, 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.

    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.

  • @dominey

    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 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.
