Hi ... Why did you create a duplicate of the Bird when you could have applied the gradient effect directly .?.. great video ... Thanks
Just a habit I have in masking. I know it is repetitive. It is not necessary. You can combine tasks. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you .. your way and method of teaching is very clear .... subscribed
Thanks so much. I am working on a newer video right now explaining further uses of Intersections. Should be out in a few days. Thanks for the comment.
Your clear explanation of the approach at each step is very helpful. I hadn’t imagined such a fine photograph would result after starting with this unprocessed photo at the beginning of the video. Thank you!
It still surprises me what a so so photograph can turn into with the right processing. Thanks for the comment.
These tips are indeed very useful and clearly explained. Appreciated very much!

Thanks for sharing this wonderful technique. You explain very well even I understand. I have to learn more from you and then try it myself.
Glad you enjoyed the video. I use this effect on a lot of my photos. Quite effective once you learn the technique. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment.

An early Christmas gift for your viewers! I learned some new tips, and you reminded me of a few I had forgotten. Another helpful video, Mickey. Thank you!
Glad you found the tips useful! I am like you, I will always watch these "tips" videos. They are a great reminder and it is always a bonus when I see a new technique. Hope you and your family have a great holiday season!
Great video! Loved the one about the sky and reflection! Had never seen it done before!
Thanks for the comment. I have been using it for a couple of months, but it is just recently becoming more widely known.
Very helpful - many thanks.
So glad I could help. Thanks for the comment.
Some really good ideas here! For the reflection, I wonder if you can choose the sky, transform/flip and then "add sky" to the existing mask. It would simplify the edits, because you'd be applying the same edits to both at the same time.... I'll have to play with that.
I'm glad you enjoyed the tips and great idea to apply the same edit to both. Let me know if you find a good workflow for that!
Thanks for this, i do like how you do everything step by step it's just how i need things.
Great to hear. I try to make processes like this easy to follow and complete. Thanks for the comment,
Some of your tips work perfectly well with Camera RAW aswel. Thank you!
Great to hear! I don’t really use camera raw that often. But I should probably test my tips out there too. Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks Micky. Nice to put a face with a voice.
Yep…decided it was time to stop hiding. I am hoping to do more content with video. We’ll have to see how it works out. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you again Micky
You are so welcome. Thanks for the comment!
Just a little confused about the overlay works, sometimes you turn it off and other times its turned on. Could please suggest a video that might explain it in simple terms. Other than that, you teach great videos, I sometimes I have to watch over a couple to get it, not much into software but having to learn. Thanks Mickey.
Let me see if I can put together a little guide that explains it. Give me a couple days and I will get back to you.
Great demo thanks😊
Thank you. Glad I could help out. Thanks for the comment
Thanks! Since then, curves in masks have appeared in the Lightroom. The tool is really strong. But I learned about the difference in the operation of the object adding tool between Lightroom and ACR for the first time. Live and learn forever.
Yep…learning is a never ending task. Sometime good…sometimes a pain
Thank you very much! I learned new nuances of cleaning the mask. Before watching your lessons, I thought I knew Lightroom well. Now, after almost every video, I learn a lot of new things and realize that I know very little about Lightroom. I will continue to look at the old lessons with great interest and wait for new ones.
So glad it helps out keeping your lightroom knowledge growing. I was at a Lightroom meeting last week and I enjoyed learning a few new things! Thanks for your support and comments!
Thank you for the very good tutorial. I have overlooked a very useful tool in LrC for too long.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. It is literally the tool I use the most know. Thanks for the comments.
Thanks a lot for the helpful tips. I was very pleased with the way the adjustment panel was expanded. I had no idea about this. It is a pity that this technique does not concern the small curve adjustment window in any way. It remains small. Listening to you through the translator, I couldn't hear which key you pressed when you created repeated gradient masks. The translator called the key the word "end". I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Maybe you can write a letter? About noise suppression. Do you think that if I first apply manual noise suppression only to dark places using a brightness mask, and then use intelligent noise suppression, will artificial intelligence take into account or not that noise has already been partially eliminated in the image? Or will it process the original file anyway? Then two noise cancellations will make an even worse result? Shouldn't they be combined? I have understood your method and will try to master it.
The ‘N’ key causes LR to bring up the last masking type used. As far as your theory / process on noise reduction…not really sure. Honestly I use Topaz for noise reduction due to its masking capabilities.
@@easternshorephotoinstruction Thank you! In Topaz, do you suppress noise in raw RAW files? Or later at tiff, jreg?
Master, thank you very much! I learned a lot of new things from this video. Can you tell me how, while working with masks, you increase and decrease the size of the image? I can't find a keyboard shortcut for such an operation. p.s. I'll add it. With the space bar, I can enlarge the image, but only by one fixed value. And how exactly to the value I need? Well, and reduce it too, in order to go beyond the boundaries of the canvas with a radial mask and see it?
Thanks for all your comments. I will try to hit each one individually so I don't try to cram them all into one. I hope the translations are clear and don't offer confusion. You can increase and decrease photo size by hitting CMD (CTRL on PC) with the + or - key. This will work in the Library or Development module. When you are viewing photos in the GRID mode. all you need to do is hit the. + or -. You don't need the CMD/CNTRL key combination in GRID mode. Thanks for the comments
@@easternshorephotoinstruction Thanks! I dare ask you another question about masks. Maybe not quite into the topic of gradient masks. When we create an intelligent mask of an object or a person, is there no way to soften the edges of such a mask? There are no obvious ways. But maybe there is a trick?
I also didn't really understand why I had to go around in circles to open the processed tiff in LR. I, without logging into PS, from Adobe Bridge using ACR, process with new tools, export to tiff or psd. Then, if necessary, you can export it to LR. Or is the whole trick in the smart object and the ability to return to processing? But so far I haven't seen any difference in saving time. If you explain, I would appreciate it.
You are correct in your explanation. There are a few ways to do the same thing. I was just showing one way for people not familiar with BRIDGE. For some reason Bridge is not used very much in the USA. What ever way works best for you is the way to go. Thanks for the comment
Thanks for the lesson, Master! If I may, I will express a couple of thoughts. I am listening to your explanation with the help of an online translator and he translated poorly at the very end. Did I understand correctly that after saving to Ps, tiff or psd will return to Lr? Is it still impossible to return the frames processed with new features processed in raw format in this way? If so, it's a little sad. I will be looking forward to the LR update. I have already experimented quite a lot in ACR with the new noise reduction in different images. I liked it more than the noise reduction in Lr and DxO. Master, maybe you made a reservation that ACR creates a new DNG file after noise reduction? It doesn't work for me. Or did I misunderstand something in your explanation? And you also didn't mention the generative extension that you introduced into ACR. For example, with small perspective corrections and small canvas enlargements, very good results can be obtained directly in ACR. Now you don't have to go to Ps for this. I write with the help of an online translator. If we made mistakes with him or translated poorly, please do not judge us strictly.🙂
You are correct. When you transfer back to Lightroom the photo is no longer in a format you can send back to PS/ACR to process with the new features. This week I have been in a meeting with Julieanne Kost. She is the Adobe representative who leads Lightroom/Photoshop education and utilization. I asked her about this and she said that feature will be in Lightroom in the future. Hopefully they will make it more useful to move back and forth from Lr to Ps at that time. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you very much, Master! I learned a few new techniques for myself.
Great! Glad you are finding new ways to improve your LR skills! Thanks for the comment
Master, thank you so much for a good, clear lesson. Probably the most difficult thing in working with this dot tool is to even out the tone of the face. I repeated your actions in my picture. I have achieved decent results. I timidly assume that it is even better than in your example. But it's always easier to repeat. By the way, face detection worked very well for me. Then, with a semi-transparent brush, he slightly increased the border of the mask. I didn't know about this method myself before. I additionally subtracted eyes, eyebrows, and lips from the face mask. Although they were not marked when determining the mask, it is more reliable this way. When I removed the red spots from my face, I also tried to touch up a little with a brush with a faint orange shade. Like it. It's a pity that you can't choose a flesh color exactly according to the numbers in the tinting block, as in Ps. But you can still use it. Thanks again. See you in your other lessons. Does it look like there is no separate playlist on LR on the channel? Or did I not find it?
Try this link for the Lightroom Playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLdpGUYUJs-ByxFphA8j0NN06CeP0a7FOj.html
@@easternshorephotoinstruction Thank you! For some reason I couldn't find it myself. Inattentive. 😕
How can I start Camera Raw in Windows 10?
First, you would need lightroom, photoshop and adobe camera raw installed on your PC. Well, technically you don’t need lightroom installed, but I am assuming you are trying to reproduce the tip I gave in my last video. In any case you would need at least Photoshop and Adobe camera raw installed. If they are not installed log into your creative cloud application and select these apps for download/install. After they are installed, the easiest way to start ACR is to open PS, choose menu: File> Open and then select a RAW file you wish to process. When the RAW is opened, it will immediately launch ACR so you can process the photo. If you need further instructions, let me know what issues/ questions you have and will provide more help.
@@easternshorephotoinstruction thank you very much
I just tried this technique and am getting the message in Camera Raw that "Denoise cannot currently be applied to smart objects". Any ideas?
Typically I see this if you have created a smart object , moved it to PS and then launched Camera Raw from the menu instead of double clicking on the thumbnail in the layer panel. Also, what type of file did you create the smart object from? It must be created from a raw file in Lightroom before the denoise feature will work.
Excellent. I was wondering what was going on with those two enhancements when I went to PS
Same here. I am hoping they port them over to LRc in the next interim release. Thanks for the comment.
Brilliant! Thank you for your time & effort !! 😊

Excellent explanation especially on the Intersect mask. My challenge is kids sports photography, specifically hockey. The ice is always 'blaring' and trying to find an effective workflow to lower the luminance of just the ice surface. I look forward to tackling it again utilizing some of your techniques, subtly of course :-) Thank you
Sounds great! You might also try generative remove in Photoshop with the glare. As long as the glare is on an area which is not too complicated, it may be able to knock down some of the glare. I have used it on eye glass glare with some success. All depends on how complicated the area is. Just circle the area of glare with your lasso tool. Then select the generative ai tool as you would any gen remove action. Don’t fill anything in the dialog box. Then generate. Hope it works out for you. Thanks for the comment,
Great demonstration ! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome! Glad it helped out. Such a great tool. Especially when used in conjunction with masking. Thanks so much for your comments.
