In this video I review the use and application of Lightroom Luminosity Range Masking. I also cover the powerful feature of using the intersect option with luminosity masking.
Good luck on your presentation. It seems there is a never ending way to use masks, intersections, add or subtraction. I hope your presentation is a big hit!
Your relaxed way make it so easy to follow. I have always had a bit of a problem with luminance masks but not any more. Great content and presentation.
I do not understand why you only have 280 Subscribers. I am a professional Photographer and watch Tuts as one can always learn something new. I have watched most of your tuts and have gleamed great information and Techniques from them. Keep up the great job and I look forward to your next Tutorial. Learn something new every day to stay informed and young. Thank you.
Wow, thank you! Well, I have only been posting these for a short while. I am actually surprised that many subscribers have popped up. I sure do appreciate it though. Makes me push harder to get good, basic processing info out there. Thanks for your comments!
I'm always trying to improve my post-production skills and masking has always been an intimidating aspect. Your instruction style is very good and I find it helpful. Thanks! BTW, by Eastern Shore do you mean Mid-Atlantic region? I'm Delaware based so just curious.
Great to hear! Glad I could help out. Yep, eastern shore of MD. So, we are neighbors. I live in Denton and much of the people I help are in the Easton and Chestertown areas.
excellent and informative. today i learned new way of using luminosity mask. prepare more videos. thanks again and wish you all success. god bless you dear
Great video, well explained & easy to follow. Thank you! There is a quicker way to arrive at "intersect" With your brush (or other) mask made, press & hold the alt key (option on mac) and the add / subtract icons will change to intersect. You can then select luminance range (or whatever you want) Two quick clicks instead of three.
Great tip! I knew about that one but I always seem to gravitate to the menu. I need to start using it more like you suggested to speed workflow along. Thanks!
Hahahah...yeah I get that. Some people have called me the Bob Ross of Lightroom. Believe it or not in my former life I was a state trooper in Alaska. I learned to keep my voice down and calm to help defuse tense situations. I guess that is just going to remain with me the rest of my life !?!? Thanks for watching my channel and leaving comments. I appreciate it!
No, I do not believe it does. I have tired looking everywhere and talking to several of my expert friend and unfortunately it is not a function in the LR for iPad or phones. You would need to rely on the Add or Subtract function instead. I will see if I can come up with some workaround to help out with this issue.
@@easternshorephotoinstruction Thanks for your reply, indeed the subtract function does work but not as well. hopefully intersect comes soon to LR mobile
Thanks for this thorough and detailed luminosity lesson. I consider myself somewhat accomplished in Lightroom, but I just kind of clunk my way around the luminosity mask so glad that I now know that slider is for feathering! And I learned much more. I’m looking forward to re-editing some of my images that were a challenge luminosity wise.
Sounds great. That is what I love about learning new things or refining your LR skills. You can go back through your photos and end up with a photo much nicer than your previous attempt. Good luck. Let me know if I can help at all.
Your tutorials on Lightroom/Lightroom masks are brilliant. I run a Camera Club here in UK and have advised the members to watch your content. Thank you again.
Awesome, thank you! I am glad I could help out. Maybe someday I can attend one of your meetings (ZOOM of course) and we could all chat about our common interests!
Thanks for your insistence of subtle changes. I'm finding that cumulatively subtle changes can add up to be a little too much. I do like to start with Auto Tone, and am finding that a little further decreasing the Blacks and adding some Texture, Clarity, and Dehaze may push things too far, so I'm now reducing Contrast and Saturation/Vibrance
Yeah, it is fine dance between all these settings. Just hearing how you adjust or NOT adjust confirms to me, some people just hit it too hard sometimes. I find if I put a photo away and then come back to it the next day...things appear a little more clear to me. Thanks for your comments. They really help!
Just watched this and some of your other masking videos again in preparation for presentation tonight to our local club. They are so good!
Good luck on your presentation. It seems there is a never ending way to use masks, intersections, add or subtraction. I hope your presentation is a big hit!
This is a great learning video! Thank you.
Thank you sir. Glad I could help out!

You are so welcome! I know that luminosity still confounds me at times. Glad I could assist.
Really good tutorial!
Thank you so much. I appreciate the compliments on my work.
Thanks so much. I am glad I could help you out. Thanks for the comments.

Excellent video but your voice is so hushed it is like you don't want anyone to hear the secrets you are revealing.

Thanks for this excellent explanation. Does the intersect function work on Lightroom mobile?
