I’m so glad I discovered your channel. Your methods of using Lightroom masks have opened my eyes to a whole new and effective way to edit my photos. Thank you so much.
Thank you! Every single time you want to add a spot of light, you substract the whole subject, again and again. Why don't you just substract the small part of the subject that you don't want to be affected ? Thank you !
That would be another way to go at it. But then you limit what you could do with the intersecting mask. By masking the entire subject you are left with the possibility of moving your light to any area of your subject as the mood strikes you. I have to admit though. I have at times done just as you suggested when I know exactly where I want the light to hit. Thanks so much for your comments. I really appreciate you thoughts!
Thank u for ur tutorials. I’ve been using and applying masks but not so precisely than u do. Going to use this tutorial for one picture I wasn’t completely satisfied with.
I guess you could use subtract. But it would have to be subtract BACKGROUND. If we subtracted (instead of intersect) subject (Object being the person) then none of the light from the radial gradient would light up the subject. Using the subtract background would work the same as intersect (light up only the subject) but using subtract background is a lot more work and would not be as precise as intersect with object. But it is something to keep in the toolkit. You never know, it might come in helpful with certain photos. Good question!
It has its place. And honestly there are any number of ways to do this effect in all different sorts of applications. But some people don't want to or can't afford to fork over more money for a subscription to software they may not use to its potential. That is one of the things I try to do here. Show what you can do with Lightroom if that is all you have available. Thanks for your the note. Any Luminar users out there that weren't aware of this method can now start experimenting in that application.
This channel should have way more subscribers. Useful and effective techniques explained and demonstrated so anyone can understand. Creating simple workflows for approaches that really enhance your images.
Excellent video..Thank you so much

Great to hear! So glad I could help out. It takes a village to get out all the ways to use Lightroom. Glad to have you onboard!
Very informative and helpful using the object tool. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I still think the object tool is WAAAY under utilized.

In your first example, why did you use Intersect? Would Subtract the object do the same thing?

Using the subtract background would work the same as intersect (light up only the subject) but using subtract background is a lot more work and would not be as precise as intersect with object.

Yes but Luminar neo isn't lightroom 😉
