Lightroom Masking Techniques
Ted Koelsch
THURSDAY JANUARY 15, 9:30am-11:30pm
Clubhouse #4, Educational Classroom
To make an image come to life, most images need more than just global edits (which affect the entire image). Masking allows you to make targeted local edits, which affect only specific parts of an image.
In this class, we will explore advanced masking techniques available in Lightroom Classic, Lightroom, and Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) that can be used to select those parts of your image that, when adjusted, can make your images truly your own.
We will explore the strengths and weaknesses of AI masks used to select items such as Sky, Subject, Landscape, and People, as well as Manual masks (Brush, Linear, and Radial Gradients) and Range masks including Color, Luminance, and Depth. Moreover, modification and refinement of these basic masks through adding masks together, subtracting one mask from another and intersecting masks with each other will allow the creation of complex, targeted masks that are unique to your image and which will allow you to bring your vision to life.
