Hahaha me too

Found this channel 2-3 months ago and got hooked on the love of photography/outdoors. Started watching from the very first video and finally caught up today. I have been meaning to get out and use my camera for something other than family photos for a while now and this channel has definitely inspired. Planning a weekend away with the misses and already found a few hikes that should result in some decent shots (even if they don't they seem like great hikes!).

Thomas what makes your channel one of the best is your field videos with follow up videos showing how you process the images you made. It completes the process for your viewers. Learning about the range mask is great tool to learn about. Thanks

as a person that always using lightroom, I definitely need this, and just realised that it can do this kind of magic. many thanks for bringing this one up, Tom!

Videos like these once in a while are really helpful, we got to watch you set up and take the image and then learn a tip for the editing. I will remember this one. The effect on the trees is fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to explain this.

Fantastic! I updated my Lightroom last week and just hadn't had time to check out the new stuff. And I had a photo that I wasn't happy with that needed this exact thing. Thank you!!!

I remember when these changes were announced but completely forgot they existed. Thanks Thomas for the reminder and demonstrating some good examples of their usefulness. Very helpful video :)

Very helpful video. I twigged into the colour masking just after it came out. Did not understand how the luminosity masking worked. Extremely instructional and very beneficial. Thanks for taking the time to point this out.

Learn something new everyday! I had never used this feature in Lightroom before but will definitely give it a go when needed on future images.

I mostly take images of woodland in tricky lighting conditions. At dawn, during bad weather or in the middle of the night. This will save me countless of hours of editing in the future. Time is very precious commodity as a father of three. Thank you very very much for bringing it up. If your travels takes you to my neck of the woods some day in the future ( the arctic bit of Sweden) I'd shake your hand and buy you a pint of prefered beverage.

Thomas....thanks for this very useful and easy to use tip. I soooooo like your level of PP. There are just so many landscape photographers that are over processing their images.....at least to my taste. It is pretty hard to out-do mother nature and when you try using a computer it falls short. One of the main reasons that I follow your channel more than most is your level of PP. Please keep it up!

Thank you so much. I'm still learning and this tip has been more helpful than you know. I can't wait to start using the range mask feature.

My editing skills haven't always been the absolute best. This feature is a real game changer, played around with some older files and was left with a far superior image. Great video. Great tips, thanks a tonne

I've just started using the technique shown in this video on a long exposure shot. Well Lawd 'Tunderin, it was absolutely brilliant when trying to deal with exceptionally bright lights on a bridge on a very black night. Without using this Luminescence Mask, I couldn't bring out details of the dark water and sky as the lights would be completely blown out. What a difference!! Thanks for bringing this to our attention....works like a charm.

Thank you! I had no idea and have spent so much time going back and forth and trying to erase out adjustments and not make it look crazy cartoonish.

This is awesome! I've been setting my filters and going back in and erasing the areas where it wasn't needed. This will save so much time.

Thank you. Well done. Always appreciative of your info, and your presentation style.

Thank you Thomas. I didn't know how to use that tool and now I can see how powerful it can be. Thanks mate

Been using LR for years and it's now obvious I have more to learn. Excellent tutorial Thomas, thanks.

Brilliant tip Thomas. I too use this tool as its like a dodging and burning.

Wow! I love taking photo´s of mountains, so this is soooooo helpful! Thanks Thomas!

Thanks for the tip Thomas. And love the images at the end of the video! Great addition - keep it up!

Finally, thanks for sharing the info, I've heard the term, hadn't taken the time to look into it, but it might be my savor in my wildlife images

Thank you so much!!! I had no idea about this... this will 100% change the way i edit... that eliminates alot of erasing!!!

loved seeing the mountain image again as its amazing how your eye picks out some different detail. This time its the peak in the top left hand corner after you applied the range mask. To me it just seemed to pop more and accentuated the morning sun striking its side

Thanks for the tip Thomas, I already heard about it but never seen in the practice. And I love the image from the workshop with Simon, those trees are phenomenal! See you on Wednesday!

This is the best explanation I saw up to this time. Simple, direct, elegant. Thanks

A great reason to upgrade from my old Lightroom 5.7! Thanks for a brilliant LR lesson. I like the new video format with the images screened again at the end too. All good stuff. Thank you.

Oh my god that’s amazing! Thanks for sharing this tips! I spend so much time messing up with the brush previously when applying Graduated filters!

Wow, that is amazing. I have spent hours trying to achieve the same effect with the paintbrush tool. This will be a huge time saver. Thanks so much Thomas.

Great tip Thomas, I will definitely check it out. Love your channel.

I knew the range mask was in LR, but didn't know what it was for. Now I know and will give it a spin when called for. Thanks Thomas.

OMG! That woodland shot is incredible!

Brilliant! Great tool, great tutorial. Thanks, Thomas

Thanks, was aware of the feature but didn't properly understand it. That's this evening sorted having a go with some images. Thanks for the good work.

I knew you'll speak about range mask in the moment I've read the title. Great demonstration) One of the best tools ever that almost no one using.

I’d heard of it but thought it was going to be something more complicated. Thanks for demonstrating how simple it is, and how effective. Right, I can think of an image or two that now need attention

Brilliant. I've been struggling with brightening trees without effecting the sky for ages. It's a real pain trying to paint between the branches but this tool looks excellent.

Hi Thomas, I only just discovered your channel and I’m loving how much I’m learning about composition and actual photography. Congrats on a great product. Chris

This is the single most useful tip I've got off KZread LR vids. I had no idea 👍👍👍

Thank you thank you thank you! I have come up with this certain situation plenty of times and now thanks to you I have another tool in my pocket to help me deal with it!

I've used this before when darkening skies above tree lines but I've never thought of using it to lift shadows. Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely be using it more.

Very useful tip!! I used to mask it manually. This would save lots of work. Many thanks!

Thanks for that Thomas. I'd seen the section in LR for it but never ventured into it. Now that you've explained it so well I can see me making good use of it.

great information Thomas, thank you. That will make life so much easier.

Thanks for the tip. I’d wondered about that feature but hadn’t used it yet. Now I will when needed.

This is one of the best LR tips I've seen. Thank you! So many hours wasted trying to manually paint masks for uneven horizons 😂

Brilliant, so simple and effective. I’ve been aware of this but avoided it. Until now. Thanks Thomas

Thank you Thomas.....gonna have to watch that one again, while I have an image on the other screen. Again, appreciate the insight.

Great Tip! It's so good to find out these little snippets of information! Thanks mate!

So far YOU taught me how to focus stack(which I use ALL the time now)...and I also now use, what I call, the "Heaton" crop (6 X 17) for my landscapes and now this! WOW! Definitely, I can see that I will be using the Range Mask!! I have the West Maui Mountains which I always have an unbalanced sky due to the sun setting behind the west side of the mountain. By the way, I think your Scotland trip was epic! Maybe your best trip? Watching your trek and what you had to deal with; well, just let me say that the images you came back with are simply BREATHTAKING! It was worth it all! Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about this at all. I appreciate the tip! Love your videos!

Oh man you're killing me! How on earth did I not know about this?! This is awesome - thanks Thomas.

Super, thank you. Didn't know about this one and certainly looks very practical.

Appreciate this video! We should never stop learning..THANKS FOR THIS INFO!

Great video Thomas. Thank you very much. I tried it on one image from yesterday’s walk and it changed it so much.

Thanks Thomas, I've had a lot of problems with graduated filters in LR as they were just a blanket fix. Now its possible for me to selectively reduce the filter where it's not needed is perfect!

Amazing i did not know of this, there have been times I've been racking my brain trying to get around things like this and now i know how its done. Thank you Thomas i will be going back to a few of my images and applying this technique.

Another nugget from Mr Heaton. Thank you...

Thank you very much for the tip Thomas!

OMG!.. I didn't know about this feature, used to do all this manually. Thank you so much, Thomas

This is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks Thomas thats a real game changer , keep out the great work

I had no idea, that this is a thing! Thank you Thomas. This could be huge for so many of my images!

Second photography is very beautiful. I like composition, trees, mountains and such a dramatic sky that gives the charm to the whole. Very informative also. Thank you so much for the video Thomas and I am already waiting for Wednesday :) Wish you all the best!

Thomas, thanks ever so much for this splendid tip. As a Landscape photographer I am so grateful to be able to add this to my toolbox~!

I've actually seen this tool in LR but never actually understood it before now - thanks heaps for the new enlightenment

this is the most valuable LR video tutorial I've seen . Thanks man!

A very powerful and underused tool is range masking and I am a great believer in going back to old images and doing a re -edit as I learn more and can apply more skills to an image, glad you have been up here in Scotland a bit recently, your workshop with Simon would have been brilliant I’m sure.

Many thanks Thomas, i wasn't aware of this great feature!

This is beyond helpful, always ran into the problem discussed leading to the feature! Thank you, great video as always :)

"I'll just increase the smoothness". - Thomas Heaton thanks for sharing this tip!

Thanks for the tip Thomas, really enjoyed the vid!

Wow!!! I never knew about this! I'm so excited to try it!!!

Thanks for the tip! I didn't know Lightroom could do this. Opens up new possibilities.

That's an excellent hint! I am extensively using Lightroom and wonder how could I overlooked it 😱

Excellent. I remember seeing a tutorial on this before, but had forgotten to use it for the reasons you demonstrated. Thanks, Thomas!

This is very life changing to some of my older photos that I couldn’t mask well

Been using and teaching LR for years and I never knew about this. Thanks Thomas!

This is an absolute game changer! How did I not know about this before!!?

Great tip! I didnt know it. I could have used this so many times on my landscape shots. Thanks!!

Thanks Thomas! This tip was really helpful and I'll be using it soon for sure! :)

My god, the amount of times I could’ve used this! Great tip!

I saw this feature but had no idea how to use it. thanks for sharing this. I'll go back through some of my shots and see where i can re-edit

Thanks, Thomas. Very helpful! I often use gradient filters in LR but always struggle when shooting mountains where the horizon is not a straight line. This will be a big help.

Very cool! Did not know this feature existed, keen to try it out! Thanks and I have now subscribed!

Thank you Mr. Heaton. Mind blown. I had no idea. Very helpful tutorial.

Well I am now thinking about the many images I can apply this to. Thanks for the tip Tom, I never even knew this was a feature of Lightroom, never heard anyone speak of it. Great video 😲

Great video Thomas! I didn't know about this feature until now, and I know it'll be really useful in my editing. Thanks!

I knew from your intro that you were going to discuss range masking. It's brilliant! I don't know if the luminosity mask works as well as Photoshop's layered process, but it's a helluva lot easier to learn. Range masks work with the brush tool, too.

Thanks Tom! Didn't know that feature existed! Awesome for quicker tuning of images!

Thanks for this. I had no idea about this mask option! Thanks, Thomas.

This tip comes at the perfect time. I need this technique for one of my current images.

Awesome tip, I didn't know about it, definitely going to give it a try.

Agree sir...fantastic tool. Tried as you were speaking and wow. Crazy...lol

That ethereal music is even in my dreams. I always remember TH when I hear this type of music.

Gracias Mr. Thomas Heaton! Just used it.

Excellent tutorial Thomas, really enjoyed that. Lovely images as usual

Hands up I did‘nt know about this thanks for sharing Thomas.

Fabulous images Thomas and like you I love the range mask filter 👍🏼
