I have been editing a lot using the new masking feature but was often confused with the intersect function. This video of Anthony's along with others helped me greatly. When new features come out in Lightroom, I look at many videos to learn something new, but I always choose Anthony Morganti every time for a clear explanation.
One thing I find confusing about masks in Lightroom is that they represent the exact opposite of what a mask used to do. In the darkroom a red mask, masked out the light so that there was no effect under the mask (dodging). Even in Photoshop, a quick mask, masks out that part of the image, which is then not affected by an edit. Masks in Lightroom are really selections - whatever is "masked" is where the effect occurs.
You can use intersect with only one selection; you don't need two selections. For example, select subject, then select intersect with. You have your choice. So you can control a section within your selection.
I don't recollect ever needing to use an intersected mask. But I reckon some folks use it. Thanks for making it a lot clearer Anthony! Have a great weekend!
On Lr mobile, we don't have Intersect button yet. But we can do this : Mask A intersect with mask B = Subtract the [inverted version of mask B] from mask A, vice versa. For example in the video, after create object mask, choose subtract -> color range -> select paint on her face -> invert the color range mask. Or you can create a color range mask first, then subtract the inverted object mask.
The depth information is available in the newest iPad pro cameras (and iPhone 13 Pri, I think) and is a LIDAR camera, so it will appearently produce a grayscale 3D depth image that will be stacked with the color image of the normal camera. It can be used for a lot of things, one of which is to simulate shallow depth of field in images to make a cellphone image look a lot more like a 35mm image with a fast lens. It can also be used to produce 3D mapping information for space mapping and other 3D modelling uses (mostly through video applications or through a similar stereo paralax computational approach), so it is really powerful stuff. I think this is what people are talking about when they discuss computational enhanced photography.
That depth masking is pretty interesting ... can't see why in the future camera manufactures would not start adding that info ... seems like that's another excellent way to select / isolate objects in an image; thanks for the video ...!
You have to use intersect to have masks work like they did prior to the update. As an example, you used to be able to easily limit the selection of a gradient based on luminensce. It used to be straightforward. Now you have to use intersect to accomplish the same thing. You used to be able to apply a preset to the selected gradient. This feature seems to lost. Where is it now?
I found depth map only worked for me with pictures taken with Lightroom on my iPhone 12 max pro. The iPhone camera pics didn’t have any depth info so Lr depth mask was greyed out.
I like your delivery style, deliberate, properly paced and devoid of hype; and I wonder (for my own benefit) whether I can find an alphabetical list of topics - and subtopics ( i.e. Importing, Collections, Keywording, Masking, etc.) paired with the corresponding tutorial numbers - or titles, and dates. And ... do you delete tutorials so obsolete that they could be misleading? Thanks a lot for the quality of your tutorials.
Thank you for the video. In your intersect example with the paint, you showed the first selection, but what is the second selection (if the intersection is just the paint)?Still not clear on what intersection means. TY
Thanks for the clarification, but i noticed that when duplicating a radial gradient both duplicates are selected and work simultaneously ie can not select and adjust separately! Unlike the previous versions where every duplicated tool works individually as selected..
What annoys me and is slowing me down, is that when I use radial filters and then want to work on the skin only, before I could eyedrop the skin and make adjustments and it was done. Now you cannot do that and instead it selects the whole area and you then have to subtract areas you don't want affected, which is not 100% accurate and takes up more time. Is there a better way? (this would be to soften and smoothen the skin on the face only)
I can't seem to get that red overlay to work in Lightroom. I press "O" but nothing. Is there some sort of a default or something I need to do before using it?
The two circles intersecting graphic explains it perfectly. Notice in his example that when he picked the yellow, it didn't also mask the yellow background. However in reality it DID select that background too, but you don't see it in the mask because the only thinks that shows up is what's in the intersection.
Hello Anthony. I have many of my Advanced National Park Service students following your tutorials. We have been using luminous and color range maps for sometime in our workflow for landscape art. While in general we like the new masking system we have found that making luminance mask selections it's not as straightforward as it was in the old system correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like moving me sliders to adjust the area is not nearly as precise and in some respects I feel like I'm working with blend if Sliders in Photoshop. It's elections we're getting our quite muddy and very poorly executed. Do you know something that we're missing that can help us and perhaps you can do it tutorial on how to use luminous and Colour range mask accurately in the new version. Thank you kindly
When I add a mask and double click on a slider to reset it, the red mask box gets checked, do you know of a way to stop this happening. Thanks for the video.
Hi Anthony, with the update I have lost the Library, Develop, Map etc along the top right tool bar? I need to click on Window on the very top left tool bar to access these menus? I have done something to make the Library Develop tabs disappear?
It's funny, because if you work in 3D and perform a lot of Boolean operations this all makes perfect sense with lightroom masking. But I can imagine that it's not easy to get your head around if you don't have knowledge about what to expect when you do things.
are you sure that you're intersecting with this example Anthony? aren't you just subtracting from a mask? Have you tried using subtract colour range by adding the colour range picker on various shades of paint as you did in the video? Have you thought about demonstrating intersecting using two circles of different colours which overlap? Hope this doesn't sound too negative. It's not meant to be.
Surely for most people if they have LR theyve also got PS..it wouldnt occur to me to do this in LR in the first place, its the last app i'd think of....In PS its a few seconds to select and mask the yellow...sometimes i just dont get it...i understand the question but for me its moot in the first place...oh well
The key word is "most" not all LR users use PS and therefore it gives them a tool that they did not have access to. PS can be daunting to many people and therefore they only use LR. Nothing wrong with what you posted as I have to remind myself constantly that just because i would not or i have something that other people dont and it is useful to them.
I am super bummed about the fact that you can not apply these masks in batch processing. It is virtually useless to me because of that. If PS can automate it why can LR not do it. An fine tuning mask is not possible. At least that I have found. The edge is super sharp. Again Adobe is catering to hobbyist vs professional.
I want to first start out by saying how much I enjoy and learn from your videos. I thoroughly enjoy your easy-to-follow style and explanations. I was happy to discover you many months ago. Now for the less-happy part... Would you please discontinue using images of women that objectify and/or sexualize them? The woman with the yellow paint in this video is a prime example. It's a very degrading image and it's upsetting to see. It's one of many examples that I see in your videos, and even in some of the stock images that you choose. I would be very relieved and grateful if you would be more aware of the images you use, and avoid any that have women in provocative and degrading poses. Things like this are too common in photography, and if you could help to stop normalizing this type of portrayal of women you'd be doing a great thing. Thank you!

Great video, as was the previous one on Deep Dive into masking. Clear, concise, and easy to understand. Thank you!
Very well explained in a calm and clear voice. Keep up the good work. 👍
Tak!
Thank you Niels!
That damn fly out mask menu is a pain in the ass. Especially when working on a lap top with small screen.
Then just drag it over and dock it in the regular menu. It will stay docked until YOU decide to undock it.
Great piece of information! Nicely done!
Thanks!
Thank you Mitch!

4:20 her whole skin tone is changing at the same time. Local selections > Color range.

Excellent ! right to the point explanation. Thank you
Thanks ..
Thanks. I haven't updated to this yet, but it looks far more substantial than any update I've ever seen (using it more tan 10 years now).
Great! Every bit of good information is very valuable at this point on the learning curve.

I think this is what people are talking about when they discuss computational enhanced photography.
THANK YOU. I was going crazy trying to figure out how to do color/luminance masks within a selection.
This is how I select the skin in a photo. Good stuff
Excellent video content.

Good explaination on the paint and Intersection. Seems to have been taken from PS and Color Range.
Yeah, why use LR for this in the first place even ?
Is there a way to use the Neural Filter in Photoshop to create the depth map and then add it to the file and use that in this Lightroom masking tool?
hi tx for your info's ..; but i have a nikon Z6 camera and for .NEF "dept Range" is not selectable....
I love the new tools, it took me a minute to figure them out but the more I work with them the better I like them
Thank you for the video. In your intersect example with the paint, you showed the first selection, but what is the second selection (if the intersection is just the paint)?Still not clear on what intersection means. TY
color range

Wonder if this will work for fall colors?
I can't seem to get that red overlay to work in Lightroom. I press "O" but nothing. Is there some sort of a default or something I need to do before using it?
How would you compare LR / ACR masking vs PS masking?
Anthony...can you do a more in-depth video on the Intersect feature? Kinda confusing to say the least as to when to use it, when to you invert etc.
The two circles intersecting graphic explains it perfectly. Notice in his example that when he picked the yellow, it didn't also mask the yellow background. However in reality it DID select that background too, but you don't see it in the mask because the only thinks that shows up is what's in the intersection.

Doesn't Canon Dual Pixel Raw incorporate depth information? I guess DPP can read and use it, but can other processors (e.g. lightroom/ photoshop)?
Using your sunflower image, how can you use the masking options to colorize each flower a different color?
Use Capture One. You can edit and select individual colors and tweak them to any other color easily.
When I add a mask and double click on a slider to reset it, the red mask box gets checked, do you know of a way to stop this happening. Thanks for the video.

Subtract + invert and you get the same result (the way to do it in Lr)

@@jlopez7596 I have both but very rarely use ps because it is 🤯

Leave it to Adobe to make it harder than it needs to be. Capture One is still better.
