The Art of Radial Gradient Masking in Lightroom. Shortcuts and helpful tips included.

In this week’s video I start with a quick recap of the radial gradient masking tool and the artful use of the radial gradient. I then follow up with 3 demonstrations of the art of using the radial gradient utilizing addition, subtraction, intersection and cleanup with the brush tool. Shortcuts and helpful tips are included throughout the video.

You are still explaining the properties of the radial feather lines incorrectly. I mentioned this to you some time ago. From the centre of the mask to the inner line, the effect is all 100 percent. From the inner line to the outer line, the effect goes from 100% to 0%. There is no 50% line. Just watch your own video example where you move the inner line out to match the outer line, the resultant effect is 100% for the full mask. Let me know what you think. Just trying to help.

I appreciate that. I am going by what I have always learned. But your explanation makes sense. I am going to do so more reading and then post an update to this video to make sure I get the correct information out there. Thanks so much for your insight!

Thanks for listening, glad you agree because it is such an important property of the mask​ and key to understanding the effect on an image.
