I really learned a lot in this one. I've been using these masks differently, but as per usual, you have shown more in depth uses I didn't know about. You're a very good teacher and I appreciate your videos.
Hi! Anthony, I have been watching your videos from few years. You are a great teacher. Please let me know whether there is any way to improve skin tones in Lightroom , normally if I press auto key in basic tab it will make skintone look yellowish. Waiting for your reply. Thanks
Thanks Anthony. I certainly learned a few things. But don't use the healing tool to remove the bags under the eyes. These bags, wrinkles and some blemishes are just a darker tone of the skin. Select the area and lighten up the blacks (or shadows). Also in practice, I use a preset that creates all person's features masks in one go.
Couple of great new tips for me, thanx. Question, why don’t you select the person one time - select all the items you want to work on and then tick ‘make individual masks’?
@@leniehulse1621 Yes. If you are on an older/slower computer it might slow down a little bit having a lot of masks on the image at once. Working on 1 layer at a time might make Lightroom run a little smoother.
For the left over Redness in her face from the acne, I use a color range to select and continue processing... IF I don't want to use Photoshop, which has better tools.
I picked up one or two things here thatnks Anthony. I have PP 23 and find you have to be extremely judicious in its application as dometimes it can get too extreme too easily. ON1 portrait does less and is not as tedious to use. I find LRC adequate for most situations. I am wondering why when you went into MASKING you didn't select all the features on the person when you initially went to PEOPLE rather than going back and forth opening and closing MASKING.
Hi it was difficult to actually see how good or bad the removing tool worked as you didn't zoom in to see the details. But cool video anyway thanks. Also it is so frustrating and annoying when for the same photo it rescans for people... like wtf?
It doesn’t have to rescan. He just wanted to do them individually. You select people and all the masks you want and they are created. You can then select the mask you want and edit it.
There are thousands of videos on TH-cam demonstrating this in Photoshop. It is much more complicated and gets much better results. This demo didn't even get into adjusting skin tones which most serious portrait editors would do. Just search for Photoshop Frequency Separation and you will occupy your next year or so. Lightroom is the quick and dirty method.
I find it hard to believe Adobe bought a pic of someone with that number of apparent pimples; disgusting IMHO. It was good for this lesson but to pay for it with an Adobe subscription: NOPE!

Another great tutorial! SO easy to understand and implement!!!!!

Very helpful. Thank you Anthony!
Thank you, very helpful! Is there a way in LRc to remove glare from glasses? Bluelight filters on glasses makes it even worse.

How would that work with the editing? Can you edit each mask individually?
@@leniehulse1621yep. It gives you multiple masks. Edit each individually.
@@leniehulse1621 Yes. If you are on an older/slower computer it might slow down a little bit having a lot of masks on the image at once. Working on 1 layer at a time might make Lightroom run a little smoother.
@@leniehulse1621 yes you can work every mask individually
amazing video

Thank youvery much
Might it work better if you remove blemishes before adding the soften skin light mask?

Please do same in PhotoShop also.
