@@TKNORTH Thanks! As someone who has only ever been video shooter, I’ve just been getting into the photo world a bit and I think I’m going to binge your videos for the rest of the night haha I saw you have a "weddings" folder. Is that available for sale?

[@ryoko4220]

Nice video mate! I hope you get more exposure.

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks Ryoko!!! Really appreciate that

[@kalyanikunjuraman604]

Nice brother

[@TKNORTH]

Thanks dude!!!

[@jjaylad]

Great video Tim. The exposure trick to help it do better selections is dope! Please picture yourself having shot with crop sensor cameras needing more DOF and bokeh. You did soften elements and that's good. The issue is they didn't group the edits made to the subject, with the subject mask. Same for sky. Any selection additions and subtraction you make on those, have to be repeated on each new gradient or other adjustment mask. To me this is just a make work process. The subject and all additions and subtraction on it, should be GROUPED so that the group of them can be subtracted, added copied and inverted etc. Wouldn't that make more sense?

[@henryyuan9447]

Hi TK: I wonder if you could tell me where's the filter function go in Lightoom 2022? I can't find it after upgrade. thank you.

[@lauriewahlig2819]

Have you added new things to loupedeck ct to help with masking? Did you share your setup?

[@jimstueck8428]

The best short and concises use of LRcc new making tools.tutorals. I have watched many some, 1/2 hour long and still not understanding. I have used LRcc for years and think about all the pic's rejected since new masks not available. Useing select subject on top of the radail mask was really interesting. Is it simiral to interceting masks? I really haven't used that or lumiance mask. Maybe you will do or have done? First time here, subscried, rang the bell and thinking about unsubscribing from some others! Ha!

[@tiarrynaldi6976]

How do we merge 3 mask into a 1 mask? Im just a newbie and start with 2023 😅

[@travelbug_usa]

👍👍

[@chukolna]

What version of LR classic this masking comes with?

[@TKNORTH]

I believe we are up to v11 now!

[@kerria756]

My auto masking isn't working all. I've tried so many pictures 😕

[@MrDonuts10]

It seems ever since Peter McCannon did a video on this everyone is hopping on the train to do a video on it as well. Lol. Just an observation. Overall it’s appreciated.

[@TKNORTH]

Hmm I’m with you that there’s probably heaps of videos on it, it’s a massive update with plenty of interest. But I personally don’t think that has anything to do with McKinnon haha just a very popular topic. The only other ones I’ve seen pop up (including my own) were all posted before he shared his. Stiff competition once he shares something 😅

[@ziahassan6972]

It's not showing in lightroom LR

[@TKNORTH]

Masks in general not showing up? They are all available and work in LR even on mobile. Layout is just a bit different compared to LrC
