My name is Simon d'Entremont and I'm a professional wildlife and nature photographer from Eastern Canada. This video will show you how to use the new AI subject, sky, background and object masks in Lightroom to step up your photo processing game.
I use Topaz Labs software for noise reduction, sharpening and upscaling:

Simon, I know you've heard this many times, but it's impossible not to be impressed and say it: Your content is simply amazing. Nobody teaches like you. The way you clearly explain the topic while showing practical examples and cutting right to the chase is absolutely brilliant. And on top of that, your content is always RELEVANT. It's just such a pleasure to watch your videos. It really gives me that feeling that I'm actually learning RELEVANT information. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Cheers from SoCal!

Nice. I hadn't thought about shading different sides of the subject. You should also remind those that criticize "photo manipulation" that it has been done in the film days but in the darkroom.

Never apologize for using post processing … it’s your art! At photo club meetings I often hear photographer’s proudly say “I didn’t do anything to this image it’s right out of the camera” and I think to myself “yes, and it looks like it too”! Even people who have been told they should shoot RAW say this … imagine what Ansel Adams’ images would have looked like if he had not manipulated his images in the darkroom 😢

I'm new to photography and I've been taking photos of barns and silos (the ones you find on a farm). I do this on the silos and it definitely adds more dimension. 👍
I noticed while watching this video that there is another way (which I prefer) to do one thing. instead of subtracting a part of a mask, we can by pressing the Option/Alt choose where to apply the mask and then use the tool that fits what we need Cheers
Very nicely done walkthrough, M. d'E. It's a fine line between maintaining the integrity of the image and ending up with something we often see - an inadvertent collage effect. Very much a case of 'a little goes a long way'. Cheers from the swamp.
Highly interesting and useful, as always - many thanks!
Another great video. Many thanks.
honestly this change is really a game changer, instead of drawing in everything it saves so much time
Mr Simon this is ancredible video ♥
I like your videos Simon they helps a lot! I'd like to point out a technique I use all the time: when creating a new mask for something like what you call 3D effect, instead of creating that mask from scratch, since I already masked my subjects and/or background, I just use the feature "copy" or "copy and invert", saving me a lot of time since I only need to do the fine tuning on the original mask only. "Copy" will bring the image adjustments over so you'll need to reset them, but "copy and invert" will reset them automatically.

this is an awesome video!! thank you so much!!
Outstanding tutorial!
ACDSee Photo Ultimate user here. A lot of the same features are available for those that shy away from LR (at least in 2023 and newer 2024 versions) Same techniques Simon uses here are applicable. Thank you Simon!
Very nice example, thank you!
This just saved me hours. I had one part of the image that was too bright and another that was too dark. I fixed it in minutes.
This cleared up all my questions on LR selective editing . Thanks...also a great owl pic made so much better w some smart adjustments
Absolutely love using these features. Such a game changer and time saver as well. Love to use the Select Sky option as well for my landscape work. Another suggestion to speed up your editing would be purchasing a pen drawing tablet. I picked up the X-Pen Deco L and it has helped reduce my editing time as well as improved my editing accuracy - especially when using brushes.
Seriously an amazing teacher!
I run a Facebook group Ohio Photography definitely shared it there. Love your vids very informative. I knew about these masks and almost skipped this vid. Glad I didn’t still learned a lot 🙏
I was trying to figure out how to do only part of an image to change highlights. You did it again. Thanks for your wonderful videos on Lightroom. So helpful to me!!!
Glad to find a teacher here in YT. One we can say that really helps newbies and pro alike.
Hello from Winnipeg. I’m slowly getting into photography, and really appreciate your videos, and presentation style. Excellent educator. Merci!
A big thank you Simon 👍
Again, another succinct, and to the point, informative video. (I hope that made sense) Definitely looking forward to the next ones!! Thanks for being such an awesome educator. Cheers! 😎👍🏻📸
Thank you for this am going to give it a try!
I don't use LR but PS has come a long way with masking options, as well. It's a far cry from when I began back in the days of PS7... Always a pleasure seeing how others utilize these tools for I often glean new ideas to try in my post-processing.
Simon this is killer!!!!!

I watch all of your videos several times because your approach to post processing is so different from all the others, The videos are never too long and you explain every part of your process carefully. It has definitely changed my approach to post processing. I’ll make use of these tips on my next batch of photos. Thanks Simon, keep them coming!

These features are great and this video is very "inexperienced-friendly". I would add that, instead of using a brush with feather for making that 3D effect on selected parts of the photo, it is better to choose "Intersect mask with" and choose a linear gradient filter from left to right or vice versa. It gives you more control of the feather effect. You love bonus tips, so here it is: If you hold shift as you deploy the linear gradient, it straightens it up (either vertically or horizontally)!

I love so many of your videos but I think I could actually make a suggestion for once. While making your mask I notice when you were making certain ones a second time, you did them manually. Where in my mind I would have just duplicated the owl mask and the post mask I already had, rather than having to make them again to speed up my workflow. Thanks for the wonderful video as usual! I’m sure you did this specifically for learning purposes in the video though anyway and probably would just duplicate in your normal workflow. Can’t wait for the next video!!
I cant thank you enough Simon for these videos. Ive been binge watching and learning and taking notes on these. Thank you so much!

Selective masks were a GAME CHANGER for me, especially as I try to avoid photoshop unless I really need it. And the presets they have that preset selective adjustments like detailed hair, textured clothes, teeth whitening. It’s amazing
