The examples I’ve shown so far of the new masking tools in Lightroom Classic were interesting enough (check the previous blog posts if you missed them), but they still fell in the category of regular image editing. But the new masks are so powerful, that you can also use them to go beyond ‘corrective’ editing and move into ‘creative editing’, something that would normally require Photoshop. In the video below, I’ll add a spotlight effect behind the model.

In the previous blog post, you saw me brighten only the face in a portrait without ever having to resort to complex brushing. Such is the power of the new masking tools in Lightroom Classic, especially when you start to combine them using the Invert, Add, Subtract and Intersect options. In this new video, I show you how you can apply exactly the same technique to other types of photography, like wildlife.

If you follow this blog, you probably know one of my favourite plug-ins for Lightroom is Luminar AI. And one of the reasons that it’s one of my favourites, is the Face Light tool, that lets you automatically brighten faces in images, without having to make a single selection, let alone paint anything.
With the new masks in Lightroom Classic, you can do something similar, straight within Lightroom. It’s not 100% automated as in Luminar AI, but the two simple steps it takes are easily performed in the time it would otherwise take you to open the image in Luminar AI. Let me show you how in the vi ..read more

What do you do when lockdowns and strict travel restrictions are wreaking havoc on your travel and photography plans? Well, one thing you can do is to take a trip through your photo archive and re-edit your old photos with the latest tools and knowledge that you've acquired over the past years.
In this video, I re-edit a 12 year old black and white conversion. In my new edit, I make ample use of the new local adjustments that were introduced in Lightroom Classic at the end of 2021.

I was lucky enough to be able to play with the new Masking feature that is coming to the next update of Lightroom Classic, Lightroom and Camera Raw. I don’t like to use the word ‘game-changer’ because it’s heavily overused, but this update really is… a game-changer. Find out why in the video below ..read more
