What a great explanation ! Thank you very much.

Thanks Christian. I get more out of your tutorials than I do from other photographers. I consider myself an advanced photographer, and I always learn something from you. Thanks and keep up the great work.

I keep learning more skills in LR from your videos, Thanks for sharing.

[@leemathieson1872]

Great tutorial. Really helping me to get a deeper understanding of masking in LR.

[@philpetrie]

Brilliant

[@DigitalPhotoGuru]

When you use the brush tool, you can change the size of the brush as you add points. For example, if you have an area that's kind of triangular, you can start with a large size brush, then decrease the brush size when you add another point.

Great tip, thanks for mentioning it!

Very helpful indeed - thanks for posting this

[@JohnDoranski]

Thanks. Very helpful. I took a bunch of pics of the solar eclipse back in March 2024 as it was straight overhead of me in Texas. I have struggled since then learning LR and PS. With this video, I went in and played with several and your technique really helped with the sky and the flare of the sun behind the moon. Great video.

Me gustó muchísimo. Gracias.

[@DAILYTECHLIFE]

Your tutorial videos are simply amazing and I love watching them more because you try to keep your workflow so simple! Just one request if possible would you mind adding the camera equipment info at the start of the video for each image please?

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Thank you so much! Let me put this on my to-do list for future changes :-)

[@dariuszpeka7548]

Super, thanks

[@SenorGancho]

Thanks so much Christian. After watching how you used the Tone Curves, I got to wondering if it would work as well on hockey ice surfaces. I do a lot sports photography of my granddaughters hockey team and the brightness of the ice compared to the players is always a challenge. I've tried highlights, luminance masking but it always seems to fall short. Your thoughts please on using tone curves to get the balance. Thanks so much

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Hey, thanks for commenting! You could try selecting the ice with a color or luminance range mask and then bring down the highlights slighty. I guess it would also work with the tone curve bringing down the highlights (I'm just more used to the tonal sliders)! I hope this will help with your team images!

I am seeing some sensor dust... Hehe, its so hard to avoid 😄 nice work

[@jimthomson9044]

Again, another well organized video. After viewing many of yours, one suggestion: at the beginning, take 10-15 seconds to explain what you intend to accomplish before you start editing. Would help if the viewer knows where you are heading as you explain the specific actions.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Hey, thanks for the comment! I will try to do this for future videos, thanks for the tip :-)

[@vonkske53]

Mask Master !

[@florianw4155]

Nicely done! As always, the question how to do the white border around the completed picture.... also, for the vignetting effect in the bottom right corner- instead of decreasing the exposure, one could also increase the contrast. What do you think of this approach? I think it preserves the colors better.

[@ThePhlogPhotography]

Hey, thanks for the comment! The white border is something that I add in Premiere when cutting the video ( usually my photos dont have these borders, its just something I do for the video with an effect called radial shadow) You could indeed also raise contrast to add the vignetting, that is up to your personal preference!

[@oneloveRudy]

Anyone wondering curves panels not available in masks for Lightroom mobile😢

[@joelwexler]

When I use the color grading tool I usually make things worse.
