Very helpful, Tony, as always. Your tutorials are greatly appreciated. Hoping your life is settling down as regards your son and the renovation to your home.
I have been using the masking feature in Lightroom, inverting the subject and then darkening the exposure to get a similar effect. With the exposure slider you get to pick your degree of background darkness. Love all your videos. So incredibly information.
