[@Lowprofileshutter]

What a Legend

[@damienu.2668]

Great job I like it 👍

[@esadnezirovic740]

❤❤❤Fantastic ❤❤❤

[@eltiburon1983]

you dont have to intersect with subject and invert the mask. Just click on "substract subject" and its the same result 1 click faster. So basically what i do is. Use [M]-key to create a linear mask. Click on the mask click on "substract subject" - done :) Same with radial mask [SHIFT]+[M]

[@realthoprivate]

Furthermore, as the mask is not inverted, you don’t need to remember to do everything opposite when adding or removing from the mask (ie on an inverted mask you’d add a brush is you want to subtract)

[@Arda.D]

Is it possible on Lightroom mobile iOS version?

[@vincentnavea6999]

I really do not understand intersect vs subtract

[@FrenchWorldLovers]

Great video ! Thank you ✌

[@amansaroa]

Grt tutorial... 👍👍👍

[@malaranu6883]

[@aranasfilm]

[@MarkMcGeePhotos]

Glad to hear it! Thank you!

[@bjorn7798]

Hey, very nice Video! But I have a question. Can you also synchronize the Masks in another Picture on the IPad Version for Lightroom?

[@serhii.semenovych]

Hi Mark! please tell me, do you always use your own photos when creating presets, are there any resources where I can take photos in raw, use them when creating a preset and use them for a preview of a preset pack, without violating copyright and other things? Thank you!

[@Jessebloom143]

I love you g ❤❤❤

[@KrooksPhoto]

I loved this! Very keen to know if it's possible to do the same in Luminar Neo? I picked it up for what seems to be great price during black friday this year. Not a huge fan of Adobe's subscription plans.

[@framelessimage6045]

Honestly, I miss the "play tape" intro….but yet another smashing video!!

[@ramubeckham]

Love the video . Can you please do a similar edit video for capture one ?

[@longingbydesign]

Quickest butcher in town, definitely

[@koenbroeren7897]

I love your workshops Mark and work, butt can you make this also butt theb using onley photoshop?

[@LetFreedomSPK]

Ive got a question for those who are advanced in editing, if or when editing a subject like frequency separation, dodge and burn etc. Do you first do these in photoshop then color grade in lightroom. or can you color grade first in light room then finish the skin retouch in photoshop?

[@jenniferrichardson8467]

Wow! New subscriber here :)

[@thegroove2000]

Man your good. I now need to purchase high resolution wide zoom lens.

[@thegroove2000]

You make it look so easy.

[@madmax-mc9ce]

What version of lightroom cc u use

[@skolforce]

Nice

[@maxetchells]

🙌🙌

[@renaldoaggrey7060]

I can't wait for the update to come to mobile

[@user-ob2ss9wr4r]

i like your video

[@DutchDiederik]

Interesting techniques. Too heavy-handed for my personal taste, but it really shows what you can do with these masks. Thanks for this.

[@leniehulse1621]

👏👏👏👏

[@Finda5]

I followed all of these methods along but sadly none of these worked for my picture. still really good tutorial and I will continue looking for a matching tutorial for my picture

[@nethwindugunathilaka901]

I like your tips so much and learn so much from you.. but the thing is i dont like it how you apply the linear masks..its some times too much..i know.. maybe its just me.. but just maybe consider giving a try of not going too much under exposed or those kind of things when handling the masks...thankyou..please keepon doing what you're doing your best at..we love your work..stay safe ...thankyouuuu......

[@kenloyd]

Ditto to Dermott Renner, couldn't agree more. Here's my "boomer" question. Last year it was all about orange & teal, now it's all about dark & moody. Will these "treatments" pass the test of time or will they "date" an image? I'm "old school" OG B&W film in the darkroom on paper, but transitioning into digital -- and I love it. But still curious about a long haul view and vision. Thoughts?

[@anupammahato1]

Could you do this in final cut pro? Thanks

[@carlosqueiros1]

This is editing is good for dogs, to see the world in two colours.

[@missmeikecomedy]

What if none of the colors add color to the subject? I have a photo of a little furnace and none of the sliders adds color to it. do you combine several until it shows up? by doing so it also adds color to the background

[@iamkamsai]

Do lightroom presets work in luminar neo?

[@amansaroa]

Can you plz make video on blur effect with mobile Lightroom

[@Daniel.Potter]

does your website convert purchase with preset pack. didnt see a usd option

[@recyclebin9689]

I enjoyed your previous dark tones video which was very detailed and relaxed while this felt a bit rushed. This could have a lot better if you were focused on one or just two images and went in to details and fine edits.

[@billx4266]

Can you do this in capture one? Because im a hobbyist and dont want to pay for a subscription

[@RawloftheDead]

Not sure I like the dehaze on the trees in the first car pic. It's a bit distracting but love the tones you're showing

[@TobiAfijeare]

Please make a video of how to do this editing using Lightroom mobile

[@julesselmes]

‘What’s happening team!’ Next you will be wearing your baseball cap back to front! Your content is good so why be like every other American KZbinr?
