- Lightroom Masking is one of the best features in Lightroom! But the auto mask feature in Lightroom is one of the biggest Lightroom Secrets a lot of people have never heard of.
Masking in Lightroom is easy. In this tutorial you're going to learn the easy way to auto mask in lightroom - Using Lightroom masking brushes to affect Lightroom masks for color, mask overlays, and doing things like recovering blown out backgrounds or getting detail back in the sky.
This Lightroom trick literally changed the way I edit forever - I had no idea how easy it was to create masks in Lightroom, and no idea how masking in Lightroom works as a photoshop replacement for MANY applications.
In this tutorial you'll learn how to create masks in step by step. We'll go through several images and create masks for a variety of reasons, and show you the easiest way to make masks in your lightroom edits.

Prior to upgrading computers, I was using a 2015 15" macbook pro with 16gb of ram - So you don't NEED the fancy new computer at all... It just speeds up my editing workflow as I'm not waiting so long for previews to load.
💻 Renewed 2015 macbook pro is about $1200 on amazon: amzn.to/3kaotB1
I'd recommend going with at least 16gb of ram and 512gb of storage.

We the people of Lightroom declare this: a killer tutorial.
bahaha this is awesome. thank you people of lightroom 😅
Absolutely agree! This is an amazing "golden tip" :)
Hands down the best useful tool
Yeah! This one definitely has saved me a lot of work!
You are hereby dubbed a Lightroom Beast👊🔥🔥! This is one of the most Dope LR tutorials I've seen bro. You Crushed It!!
I can't believe I didn't discover this feature before. You just made my editing so much better, thanks!!
Right?! Thanks so much!
From the 100 Lightroom videos I watched this takes rank number 1. 3 clicks I’m able to edit one bridal portrait. 1st click recovers the highlights 2nd click brightens the shadows and 3rd click I’m done 😃. Dude you literally changed my life. I love you!
Nice! Glad to help Mike
Thank you. I knew this new masking tool was available in light room but had to no clue how to use it. Your narration was focused, enjoyable and your voice conveys the excitement only those of us, who do this sort of stuff and need the efficiency it "magically" gives us feels about something like this!
I'll be back!
I watch many videos on Lightroom and Photoshop but this is one of the most useful I've yet to watch. I had no idea this was possible. Thank you for posting this information.
Wow - Thanks Ryan! Thats awesome!
I've probably watch at least 50 Videos on Lightroom and this is the best tip I've ever seen. It's so simple it accomplishes the complex with a single click. This really helps the workflow. Pure Genius, thanks
That's awesome Terry - Glad to hear it was number 1! Thanks for your comment :)
Editing blown out exposure of the white water in surf photos just got sorted, thank you! Saves me a round-trip to Photoshop. And I edit hundreds!
Epic Murray! Pumped its helpful for you!
This tip is FANTASTIC! I never consider to oversize the pointer!!! this is great. I don't go over the entire image, too easy to pickup wrong stuff. BUT just going a cross the board of things and having the auto-mask picking up the details is AWESOME. Thanks!
I KNOW RIGHT?! Enjoy!
so far the one of the best tutorials I have ever watched on TH-cam
WOW! Thanks!
@@SignatureEdits Thank you so much for liking! ❤❤❤
Definitely one of the most useful LR tutorials I've come across, thank you !
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much Michaela
What awesome Lightroom secrets do you have?!
Scroll wheel on the mouse to adjust mask size.
True! I normally use a track pad so I'd forgotten that one! Thanks :)
Simple one but Tab to show/hide the side modules to get a closer look at my photo.
Saved this sometime back. I recently pulled it up while looking at videos for Range Masking. It came in very handy today.
Awesome! Glad it helped
I cant believe after all these years.........i used to spend so much time masking......Thanks Ryan
I know the feeling Billy! Glad to help :) Thanks for your comment!
maaaate this is unbelievably great and comprehensible
Glad to help! Thanks Zach!
Very nice. Tried it on a complicated edit. Saved so much time. Thanks
RIGHT?! Glad it helped David!
I'm mind blown!! I've been doing it the hard way for years! Thanks so much!!!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
you can even desaturate first, and then apply the colour you want, so the van could have even become red
Great tip Daniel!
can you please elaborate on this it sounds useful.
would it be like using hsl to desaturate the colors you dont want in order to alter a specific color(s)??? then bump back the saturations to normal.
This lightroom hack is stunning!
I have started using this and it is amazing how much time it is saving me. Probably the most useful feature in LR Develop module. Thank you for this great tutorial.
Love it, glad to hear its been helpful for you Roameo!
LIFE CHANGING!!! I wish I saw this sooner!! Thanks Ryan! Stay safe!!
great tips! keep it up, man! i’ve learned so much from your videos in two days than i did watching others in three months! 👏🏼
WOW! Thats awesome K.E, thanks so much!
This will help me so much with editing cars, instead of trying to draw slowly with the adjustment brush I can just do this trick, thank you sir!
You just made my life so much easier. THANK YOU~!
Love it, you're very welcome!
dude - about to edit 400 shots from Europe. This is a lifesaver. My god, how cool. thanks so much
Thats epic! Be sure to tag us so I can see em! @signatureedit
OMG, you just saved the second half of my life.
That's a glass half full if I ever heard one ;) Glad to help!
i kid you not....i used this technique and after 16 years of photography, i am angry at myself. i always used the selective colour method to control colours...but this here...in LIGHTROOM, is just balls to the walls amazing. Thank you sir.
I refused to use the masking tool until now. Thank you! This rocks!
Haha glad to help Jeff! Thanks for the comment!
No problem Jeff!
Gave it a try...works pretty well. Include the range mask option for even better results. Thanks for posting this.
Thanks Winston! Hope it was helpful for you :) We bust out the range mask in pt 2 if you're interested :)
Best tip I've seen so far for masking. Thank you so much for saving me hours and hours of work!
Amazing, glad it was helpful Raymond!
Ryan is my hero! Love this hack!!!!
Baha, thanks Nathalie! Appreciate it, and glad to help. Check pt 2 for more applications!
Dude if I knew about this sooner it would have saved me so much time. Thank you.
RIGHT?! Haha me too. But at least we both know now!
@@SignatureEdits yip I've been using lightroom for almost 2 weeks now. I've been watching all the videos I can about lightroom and making notes on how to use the different features. I've been working on getting the kodak aerochrome preset on my own, and managed to get it where it works on some photos but not all.
I am legit floored by this! I was editing a picture of the sky and clouds a few weeks ago and masking around all the little nooks and crannies of the clouds was such a pain. I wish I saw this before that photo lol. Gave you a thumbs up and a subscribe for this awesomeness lol.
RIGHT?! Seriously unreal trick - Hence why I was so excited to share. Thanks Keith!
This is honestly the most helpful video EVER for editing. Mind BLOWN.
Wow, thanks! Glad it helped :)
This was extremely helpful and actually really enjoyable to watch and listen to! Thank you!
Thats awesome Sharon! Check out pt 2 if you're interested in applications w/ the range mask feature :)
Do you know how much time you have saved in my life because of this simple technique? amazing .! And the reason I watch these till the end is, on the way I pickup tiny little things I may have missed in lightroom
Thank you so much for this. This is a game changer for me.
Great to hear Brett! It was HUGE for me too!
This has been the best informative video about this specific subject.
Wow thanks so much Yasmani!
I can see that AutoMask could be useful in certain situations but in most of the examples shown in the video, similar results can be achieved by using Basic and Tone Curve tools, or HSL/Color adjustments.
Very true Mario. There are definitely multiple ways to solve similar problems in LR - the automask trick is most useful when you want to apply multiple effects at a time or when you want to adjust a color/contrast in a specific part of your image and not the entire thing. Hope its helpful for you!
That may be true but it’s nowhere near as fast as this method. Plus you can add other features to those areas rather than just changing the color and tone. But hey it’s definitely good to know how to do it different ways though 👌🏾
My friend ur video is one of the best and easiest to follow Lr tutorial I have seen on TH-cam to date, you rocked my world THANK YOU ur awesome!
Amazing - Glad it was helpful for you! - Appreciate the comment too!
8:51 when you realize there's no vibrance lmao

Had to laugh as well 😆
hahahahhaha
Lmaofoam

Haha thanks Matt! Appreciate the kind words
Holy... :D as a professional photographer unaware of this... Thank you sir, you´ve saved a lot of my time, thank you for the vid. Like and subscribe pressed ;)
Amazing, thanks for the sub Martin! Glad to help - I had the same reaction when I found out about this!
Super helpful! great video, please keep 'em coming!
Thanks Bruce, glad to hear!
You could also learn to use the Range Mask as it would have been useful in most of your examples as well.
Totally! The range mask takes it to the next level - We did a breakdown of combining it in pt 2! th-cam.com/video/Ne645U6nYnY/w-d-xo.html
Thanks a lot for sharing
I am new to Lightroom. This tutorial Blew up my mind 🤯🤯
This trick is UNREAL! Stop what you're doing and WATCH!
Seriously!
stop it.. not that great
Absolutely brilliant indeed. It definitely speeds up the work flow. I don’t know whether it is a fact, I observed sharpness and clarity reduced in some pictures.
Thanks Suhail! Yes depending on the effects you apply and the accuracy of your mask you might reduce clarity or sharpness... All depends on the adjustments you're making!
Impressive!
RIGHT?!
As a long time LR user this is a brand new way to use the adjustment brush. Thanks, thanks....
Love it Leroy! It blew my mind when I saw it!

Amazing - You're very welcome!
dude this is superb! Thankyou!! :)
Thanks so much David - Glad to help!
I finally quite toggling the automask with the checkmark and just started holding down the CTRL key when I need it - allows you to paint up to contrast edges really fast too - just keep the + sign on the area you want to paint over... So many people don't know that the + allows you to click add to the masked set too - that's why it's displayed there. ALT works kind of the same as an eraser...
Great tips Lyle! Although I don't really understand - the ctrl key on my keyboard doesn't toggle automask for me. Are you on a PC?
@@SignatureEdits Yes - PC. it would be your Command key I think if you're on a mask.
Also - it's not going to flip the checkmark in the mask box if that's what you're expecting, it'll just DO IT while you hold it down and click or drag-paint... you won't need to move over and click that thing to get the checkmarked effect of masking behavior.
WOW!! this was amazing!! thank you so much for sharing. As you said it it is going to be a game changer! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
YOU'RE WELCOME REINA! Glad it was helpful for you :)
Check out pt 2 for fixing blown out skies! :) th-cam.com/video/Ne645U6nYnY/w-d-xo.html
Thank you So easy to use...was very intimidated with masking having no clue where to start....thank you again!
just wanted to note the positive impact you have easing peoples lives. God bless you good sir.
That's so kind Ahmet! Thank you for the encouraging comment :)

🎖🎖🏆🏆👏
Glad you think so! Thanks Robert!

Thanks Eva! Glad the examples were helpful --> I know it was a bit long!
Wow, this is mind blowing! Thank you!!
You're very welcome!
Have just discovered this after 10+ yeras of using Lightroom. Thanks!
RIGHT?! Haha me too. Glad to help!
Dude! Huge help! Seriously. I'm an amateur photographer and damn this saves sooo much time
Your video's are absolutely amazing!
Glad you like them! Thanks so much Jorinde
Omg!!! Thank you for this amazing tip!! My life is sooo much better! Yeah! 👍🙌
Thank you so very much for sharing this tip. I really appreciate you sharing. It is helping me a lot.
You are so welcome! Thanks Rodney!
That change of green color around castle can be easily done by choosing the green color directly . But this automask is really game changer if that color is none of those listed in lightroom.
Totally agree Stanley! Sometimes the HSL panel doesn't have the right color, OR you only want to change / remove the color from a specific area (For instance, desaturate the blue in a dress, but leave the blue sky) Thanks for your comment!!
Thank you very much for showing this very easy trick
You're very welcome - Thanks Hasnat!
You just saved my life ... al those months i try manually even at the smallest spot ....
Glad I could help! Haha I feel your pain - This trick helps me out big time.
Simple trick with a lot of impact... These always come in handy ;-) Great tutorial!
Thanks Yannick! Glad you liked it!
I've seen other videos try to explain this in a really inadequate way. You did a much better job. Thanks!
Amazing, thanks so much Kevin! Really glad to hear.
This is game changer in post processing! Absolutely amazing.
RIGHT?! Thanks Zeljko!
The comments are on point! AMAZING! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Thanks so much!
Been using LR for years, never knew this. Thanks. Cheers from England 🏴.
Right?! Me too - Hence I felt the need to share haha. Thanks so much!
Really amazing tutorial, thanks from Mexico
Thanks so much David!
I just found your channel and man, you rock! Awesome tipps. Thx a lot. Game changer....
Amazing, glad to hear it Florian! Thanks mate
you just made my day...thank you so much for understanding the pain and sharing this beautiful trick...
RIGHT?! So handy to know. Thanks Sayan!
I've been using Lightroom for years and did not know this and have never seen anyone on TH-cam mention it. Although it's not the answer to every situation, this is going to make some edits much quicker and better. I immediately went to an image I was working on yesterday with a badly blown out sky behind trees and with one click, I had a close enough to perfect mask. Thankyou for sharing.
Totally Brett! That's why I was so blown away when I heard about it: "How has nobody else told me about this feature before?!"
Its not for every edit, BUT when you need it its super handy. Thanks for the comment!
What a lifesaving hack. Thank you so much. Will surely test it soon.
Where have you been all my life??!! Thank you so much!!
I so been doing this the hard way! Wow thanks much.
Haha tell me about it John! Me too - Glad you know now though :)
Holy crap thank you! I just got into landscape photography, have been banging my head against a wall in Lightroom, and this has changed the gaaaame
Glad it helped! You're awesome :)
It worked for my 64-bit PC. Thanks a lot.
It is absolutely the best tutorial channel i’ve ever seen
Wow thanks Roberto!
Amazing!!! This just blew my mind.
thank you for your time and video, I had no clue this existed. I am obviously just a hobby photographer, and I would scrap pictures that were way off in the exposure, this made me go back and save some of them :D
Love it, glad it helped you Heribert! Check out my LR essentials course if you want a more well rounded framework than just the youtube stuff :)
@@SignatureEdits I have been surfing your whole gallery, thnx a lot :D
KILLER tutorial!
Thanks Michael!
