The new Masking Section added into Lightroom was a BIG DEAL! But...did you know there's a Hidden Button that makes it EVEN BETTER by giving way more control? In this video I show ow we can use this hidden function to realistically add drama to skies, add Special Effects, light a Macro Shot AND add Highlights to a Portrait!

Missed it. Next time I hope.
Hi Glyn, Great video above thanks for that. I missed the opening to your lightroom virtual summit 2022. Is there anyway to view that now? or do I have to wait for it to open up again. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks Dana
S🎉i😊j😮
I ended up learning about the intersect function by just trying things out and your video educated me more about it. Lightroom is so useful that I only go into Photoshop when I need to do some really deep or detailed editing that isn’t available in Lightroom, such as liquify and other filters.
Yeah totally with you there Domonic; Lightroom continues to get better and better
Yes, this changes everything. No more haloing, spillover, etc. Thanks Glyn
So useful and such a great time saver 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing this tip - I was using the intersect tool for basic edits like adding a colored spotlight behind the subject in a portrait, but you shared some great new ways to use the tool! Love learning new techniques that can be applied immediately to my workflow.
Cheers John...glad it's useful
One of the best LRC video's I have seen in a long time! Thanx for sharing this content!
I've not used Lightroom for over a year now but after seeing this I'm keen to see what other great options I've missed.
Thanks as always Glyn for keeping us up to date with new developments, this is indeed a game changer. 👍🙏👍
Thanks for that Stephen 👍🏻
Very powerful and great use of the masking tools. I had not thought of using intersection for some of those cases. You have a great ability to keep it simple. Keep those videos coming.
Thanks so much Paul
It's almost like creating a controlled selection layer mask in Photoshop, without having to do all the detailed selection work! Brilliant Glyn! This is going to save me a whole lot of work! THANKS!!
Glad you like it Rich and yeah such a great time saver and works a treat 👍🏻
Great class Glyn! I'm finding the Intersect funtion easier to understand the more use it. Impressive!
Lightroom was transformed with the refinements to select subject and masking, and each update adds functionality. I have not opened Photoshop in months with my portrait work. Thanks for more information in intersect. I tried using it for dodging and burning on faces and with a little experimenting, it worked great and 3 times faster than with PS.
That's great to hear...cheers Stan
As a user of the mobile version I’ve been achieving the process using masks and adding/subtracting and inverting. A dedicated button would be great, but you can still get there in LRm thankfully! It’s certainly a very powerful tool, just wish there was some control added to the select subject process as it sometimes misses bits...
With it all being very new to Lightroom what we have at the moment is certainly very impressive, and is only going to get better and better 👍🏻
Absolutely brilliant! I'm glad I stumbled across this video/channel. Thank you for sharing.
Wow! Thank you so much for teaching me something new. I just discovered your channel and looking forward to viewing (learning) more of your content.
Hi Glyn, thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, just like all other videos you have contributed! The details included were clear and adequate, the explanations were precise, especially, you always included the options for both Mac and Windows users, very thoughtful! Again, thank you for your time and efforts for making our digital life better!
So good to hear that Edwards; thank you for commenting
@Edward Li : I couldn't agree more
Interestingly the application of intersect shows as “subtract” in the history panel, which it is not. If you have an larger area masked then choose “subtract” (perhaps a brush), the masked (affected) area is, as you would expect, the larger area except the part you have just brushed out. If, however, you choose “intersect” and use the brush, the only area masked (affected) is the area covered by both the original mask and the brushed area (which now brushes in the effect instead of brushing it out). In both cases, however, the history panel records the application of the brush as “subtract”, even though the effect of one is precisely the opposite of the other. The Adobe engineers need to update how this is recorded in the history panel to show a more accurate representation of what has been done.
Don’t worry, Adobe will fix this in a few years 😋
I guess you 'could' think of it that...you apply the first mask then use intersect to reveal it where you want; by revealing it in some areas you are 'subtracting' in others 🤪 Maybe that's how they were thinking...who knows, but yeah the word subtract can take some figuring out as to why 😃
I think the reason why is that Intersect is just an inverted subtract mask. There's nothing special going on with intersect other than the invert.
@@eartho Disagree. Invert does just that…invert. Intersect allows you to reveal the properties of a primary mask using the properties of a secondary mask.
@@glyndewis Intersect is the same as adding a subtract mask to your main mask and inverting it. The intersect button is simply a shortcut for those 2 steps. This is evident in the masking panel by Invert being selected after an intersect mask is added and why Subtract is added to the History step...
I do theatre photography - single performance, dark but often high contrast lighting - and the subject selection and painting with a brush intersect is GENIUS.
Nice one.
That’s so good to hear Andrew; great that this function is useful
Brilliant Glyn. Keep them coming we appreciate all you do!
Thank you Linda...will do 👍🏻
Glyn, thanks for this. I'd personally ignore the comments by some of the more snarky commentators. They should obviously have their own channels, and I'm certain they know their stuff. To degrade what you are presenting is essentially a sign of insecurity. There is a place for content like this that introduces the concept in an easily digestible way. There is always time to get granular later on. Sure, you can do everything and more in Photoshop, but the entire point behind Lightroom was a simplified, faster, less precise workflow than Photoshop. There's a reason why the initial alpha and beta builds had the option for an External Editor, just for those really persnickety tasks that required intensive knowledge and workflow. That said, keep up the good work! And for the record, I like a snappy headline!
Cheers Harris. Yeah no problem with the 'snarky' comments ... some need replying to as they seem to not understand the meaning of'Goodbye' 😃 For some folks as you will know, the enhancements in Lightroom has seem them use PS less and less so for them it is 'Goodbye' and over time it will be for more people as even more enhancements are introduced. To say that will 'never' happen is like many people in thr 80's saying Digital Photography will never take off 🤣
Woah buddy you must’ve been hurt
Thank you, Glyn for such a clear and concise explanation. I might even be able to use the Intersect function now!
Thanks for that Tim ... glad you like it 😉
Thanks Glyn , I always wanted to quickly edit the skin colors and maybe grass colors , pants , add exposure and contrast effect to the floor only ( always comes inspired by your quick mask explanation but using color range , or by selecting subjects and exclude the masks off of them ) its been years since I found an easy and fast way to edit my photos outside photoshop
Lightroom is certainly getting some great updates lately ... exciting times ahead and yeah maybe even less time in Phoshop
This was great! What night photographers desperately want in LR is simple layers to stack & overlay stars. Safe Travels!
Fingers crossed future updates bring that 👍🏻
You can also use the sky mask and then subtract with linear mask coming up from the middle. The real power, as you show, is on the mushroom. Isolates the adjustment within a larger mask.
👍🏻
why wouldn't you just use a brush with auto mask selected. genuine question
Best tutorial I have seen for quite some time. Thank you soooo much Glyn for sharing.
That'a very good of you to say ... thanks; glad you like it 👍🏻
I dont know how I miss this great and extremely valuable video. That`s the Glyn! 👌👌👌👌👌
Well done ! Nicely explained , I’ve found Lightroom is moving ahead with more intuitive features for the photographer, especially with the masking features , I possibly do see Photoshop moving more to the Graphic artists side , & Lightroom to the Photographer. Would be nice to see Adobe reduce the monthly fee to half for just Lightroom, would work for me . Thanks again , not a misleading video .
Thanks so much David. Yeah very exciting to see how Lightroom is developing. Good times ahead 👍🏻
honestly the best soft tutorial ive ever seen. short and straight to the point ! i love it
Thank you
Hi Glyn, What a great video, I sort of get the new LRC masking but didn't know how to use the intersect feature in the real world on my photos, so its great that you've shown 4 very different examples here. I now know where I can use this on my photos. This is the first time I`ve seen one of your videos, so I`ve now subscribed to your channel and I`m about to look at other LRC or PS videos that you've done in the past. Cheers
Steve, thanks so much for looking in and also for subscribing...that's great to hear. Glad this function in LR will be useful too...it's proving to be a great time saver 👍🏻
Brilliant Glyn! Clear simple instructions & easier to use than PS. Thank You!
You're more than welcome ... thanks for watching
Camera Raw has the exact same features for masking as Lightroom. You could do everything still in Photoshop. Your last example for highlights, you might get better results in Photoshop using BlendIf to target only the bright areas. Select your subject then use a curves/level/exposure layer clipped to the subject and then BlendIf.
But if I want to stay in Lightroom OR I only use Lightroom then it can be done this way. I know how to use blend if etc … this is showing how I can get an effect I’m happy with and still stay in Lightroom
@@glyndewis Why limit yourself to a program thats more limited than Photoshop? Use the best tools for the job when its needed.. But many photographers swear by Lightroom but than also use Photoshop keeping some of their viewers in the dark when they should be using both when needed.
@@Killswitch1411 Adobe sells a Lightroom only option, so some people on a budget might not have both. My brother picked up LR and 1TB of storage for $10 a month, I have LR+PS but only a few GBs of storage. Different tool sets for different needs.
@@manicdan481 C1, LR, PS, PtGui, Helicon, Affinity, TopazLabs, DxO. You're welcome. Nobody needs a subsript today. But PS is superior on masking.
@@n0f4ke74 I usually daily carry my iPad Pro and a DSLR. For this use case scenario, I can’t see anything coming close to LR. Not only the editing tools, but the fact that my photos are backed up instantly, and my desktop downloads them automatically from the cloud. But yeah, I don’t _need_ to use LR any more than I need to take photos.
Glyn thank you for your time creating this most excellent tutorial. I've been playing around with it on my seascape images and it works wonders, very clever indeed. Thanks again Glyn.
That's great to hear...glad you like it and it's proving useful 👍🏻
Great demonstration of this feature! Thanks so much!
blimey ! Man, so so much to learn on this channel, huge thumbs up ! Thanks
Thanks a lot
Lovely stuff Glynn. Heading straight over to Lightroom now to work on this.
Thank you! 👍
More than welcome 👍🏻
Hi Glyn I'm quite new to post editing and find LRcc less intimidating than photo shop, and I think you come over exceptionally well with your point well done 👏
That's great to hear...thank you Peter
Brilliant for black & white high contrast street shots where you can control direction and intensity of light. Thank you for the tutorial.
Thanks for watching
100% agree with what you have eloquently shown. Having become almost an expert in Photoshop and slightly looked down on "mere" Lightroom editors, I find the various combinations of masks, including subtract and add, plus the even newer feature of being able to invert a complex combination of masks, on top of the ability to select ONLY on the basis of luminance or colour into the rich mix.... it is all really tranformative. Of course a whole raft of techniques still require Photoshop such as the ever-more-common blending of images (though Lightroom can also do some of these procedures!), content-aware fill and any canvas extensions (such as in macro when you want to crop and change the angle, leaving an emtpy triangle at the edge which you then fill. Or occasionally when the subject or sky algorithms don't pass muster (usually very impressive though).... Anyway, I am using Lightroom so so much more that I am in danger of getting out of practice with advanced Photoshop techniques! Thanks for the great and timely video...
That's so good of you to say ... thank you.
Yeah agree with everything you say ... LR is coming along at such a pace and I too am finding I don't need to go into PS for takes I always had to in the past. However, the more complex stuff...yeah PS all day long...well...for now at least 😃
Wow, that is sooooo powerful. Thanks for sharing Glyn, I had not seen this capability before
Masking in Lightroom keeps getting better and better 👍🏻
Just brilliant! Thanks for sharing Glyn
You're welcome Jason
Great!! Thank you a lot!! Changes a ton and saves a lot of time for my weddingphotography
That's great to hear Philipp 👍🏻
Thanks very much Glyn...Much appreciated (as always)

Yesss... thank you for this.
Hey you’re welcome … thanks for watching
So the real value in this to me, is using the smart select from the original mask [select subject/sky] and then brushing in the 'opposing mask' on top of it. Great tutorial
Cheers Chris 👍🏻
This is a brilliant discovery for me Glyn! I have long used the linear and radial filters but never with this kind of finesse, Thanks again Mate!
Glad it’s helpful Johnnie 👍

Cheers 👍🏻
I learned a lot from this despite thinking I knew all of the ins and outs of lightroom. Thanks!
You’re welcome
Thank you Glyn, Great tutorial
Thanks Jo 👍🏻
This masking tool is seriously going to be a game changer for my workflow... especially for skies.
Exciting thing is that it's going to be better and better 👍🏻
That looks brilliant and so useful! Thanks for sharing. All Adobe need to do now is copy the healing brush from photoshop and put into LR (in my opinion) as that's the main reason why I still use PS, for the better healing brush.
Yeah agreed Mark ... that definitely could do with improving
Big thumbs up to this tutorial. I'm an experienced LR use,r but not skilled in Photoshop, so I loathe to manipulate layer masks etc. The ability to double up (triple, quadruple?) mask effects in Lightroom opens up endless possibilities.
It sure does. Masking in LR is getting better and better 👍🏻
All you mention can also be done in Raw in PS
Great information. Thanks. I knew about it, but learned few new things. 🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful
It's so pleasing. The setuping and mastering softs amazing.
👍🏻
Thanks for this brilliant Tute, mate!

Glad it helped
This was helpful. Thanks for showing all the steps.
You're welcome...thanks for taking a look
Glyn, always appreciate your knowledge and sharing. Do you know if there is a way to create a virtual copy of an image with only the selected masked item? I often do composites and it would be a time saver if I am able to select subject, make my adjustments and save only the subject(masked) as a virtual copy. I wouldn’t need to open the file and remask in PS.
Thank you
Thanks so much for this!
You're welcome ... thanks for taking a look
Thank you man for sharing this stuff
Hey no worries … thanks for watching
One massive use for this is headshots. I had a job with terrible background and no time to set anything up. I went into photoshop, replaced background with a white fill and back to LR. (That worked better than doing in LR). I then selected subject, inverted, reduced exposure of BG and added small amount of vignette and reduced saturation to zero. I then added radial mask, raised exposure and then -intersect>subject and radial effect looked like a light on the wall behind. Very convincing and kept all pics professional and consistent. Brilliant tool.
Great use of it there Andrew 👍🏻
