the NEW Lightroom Feature No One's Talking About!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

🌟QUICK QUESTION: What do you use to Edit your Photos?

[@thesouringgentleman]

I just make super basic edits for exposure, shadows, highlights, and a starting point for color, the rare times I use color. After that, I bounce it out to photoshop for finer work. But I'm mostly posting to instagram on my black and white account, and much of that is documentary-style photography with minimal edits.

[@davehallock3102]

Mostly Lightroom Classic, with a little PS mixed in for object removal.

[@GunslingerMediaCo]

A mix, Capture one, but I also have Lightroom and Photoshop.

[@danmckee4988]

Color Range in LightRoom

[@bkc1965]

I mostly use Adobe Camera Raw, and Lightroom second. And of course, Photoshop. I thought about saying that I print my photos and then edit them on the paper with whiteout and crayons. 🤣🤣

[@s.cottrill]

I wish I knew I could have used the dropper tool to remove some of a mask the other week. I spent over 8 hours removing parts of a background from a mask on a bridge I photographed. That would have saved so much time and frustration going over it numerous times trying to get perfect lines.Yep just went back to the photo and copied the original to re edit and 3 clicks instead of 8hours of brush tool so much easier.

[@seanthompson258]

Yip works great thanks you can also select subtract sky also works well

[@ralphpayne6259]

I fully agree about the object selection tool. However, I had not thought that subtract colour range could be so effective. Thank you.

[@chriskay3058]

My jaw hit the floor when you did the sailboat mask and removed the sky using color range. Shooting a lot of aerial photography, that is a game changer for me. Thanks!

[@danmckee4988]

I agree, 1000% these LightRoom masking tools are real gamechangers! My “go to” masking tool is Color Range for a large area in a landscape photo. If it selects too much color range, I simple use the “Amount” slider to reduce the range and if that’s not enough, I’ll use the “Subtract” on the created mask and pick the Brush, works great on Milky Way photos!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Agreed! Pretty incredible tools

[@docwel1]

I have watched your videos for a long time and have learned quite a bit. But I think this is one of your most useful videos for everyone and not just people interested in cars. Thank you.

[@rlau68]

Thanks Mark! Awesome pointers!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Thanks so much!

[@MultiSigil]

Only recently upgraded my lightroom and soon as i found this masking tool i was like wow what pictures have i taken in the past that i can now make so much better!

[@dadasdomain]

Thank you for sharing!

[@zachanderson4798]

I've known about the object select tool but using the color range to subtract from the masking is something new for me and I'm super excited to use it! Thanks for the tip Mark!

[@mariosnicolaou8770]

Wow!! Thank you. Saves so much time and cannot reproduce such accuracy manually. Thank you so much Mark :)

[@elizabethpark4193]

You are an excellent teacher. I loved your photograph.

[@ebouwens]

I have been using the object selection tool a lot but have never subtracted using color range. Brilliant! Can't wait to use the great tips you've been putting out recently. Outstanding videos and teaching!

[@warren4261]

What a fantastic tip on cleaning up more difficult masks. I had no idea and can't wait to try it. Thanks Mark !

[@DebiSenGupta]

Thank you. I do very little landscape photography, but I always learn a lot about lightroom from your videos.

[@gavinmccue4189]

Yessss! I never thought of that! Well done. Ive been frustrated with that very flaw in the object select mask

[@Bonsainz]

Great you have just explained the masking tool bits that I did not know , Thankyou.

[@kaleightucker5479]

I did not know Lr had these. Now I need to try it out. Thank you for your videos. They are easy to understand which is awesome.

[@goanheat]

Thanks Mark for this valuable insights.

I enjoy the whole video, direct, clear and professional! Thanks...

[@kennethnielsen3864]

Thanks for sharing.

[@PeterGaunt]

I love the brush object selection. With object such as the iceberg you can often just kind of wave the brush around over the object. Brilliant!

[@thomasdamore4653]

Lightroom, and now thanks to you I feel more confident and enabled to make changes.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Love hearing this - thanks Thomas!

[@sutv6754]

[@seektheburd]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

Outstanding find. I use subject selection alot. BUT I didn't know about the color selection. Thank again for a great video.

[@rdunnuck]

Wow wow, who knew, lol. Time to go back to a few images edited last week 👏👏👏. Thanks

[@jmg5878]

Thanks for the tip Mark. I used to subtract with a brush. Game changer

[@joanneabramson2645]

Game changer! Thanks for explaining and look forward to your future use of this tool.

[@garymc8956]

The object mask is my favorite but these tips make it so much better. Thanks!

[@stefankuhn6887]

I agree with you - object is also my favourite tool. But I should get used to the colour picker, that’s my learning from today’s video. 👍🏼

[@keithw8646]

This is a huge help. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Great channel!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Thanks Keith!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Thanks Tony!

[@christianpatton1852]

Cool feature!

[@melissahall7009]

Thank you!

Another great video Mark. The use of the colour picker to modify the mask is an absolute game changer, thanks for that invaluable tip. Fantastic

[@danielbrehmer4912]

Really good and helpful advise!!!

[@JennaCee]

Awesome tools to consider to enhance out pictures for sure - Thank you Mark for making this video.

[@brunopatrel8850]

fantastic !!- Thank you Mark -I'm always learning something about lightroom with your videos! Adiitional question : have you done one on luminance mask ? I rarely using it and don't know very well how to use it

[@vincentlim1003]

Thanks Mark for your sharing. Otherwise, I will still be struggling to use the pain brush for a situation like this. Have a good day! Vincent, from Singapore.

[@SPSingh-gb3kq]

Very informative video as always. It is educative to attend videos presentations by Mark. These make complex tools look easy.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Another great video, very well explained and presented, bravo. Thank you very much for also providing the brilliant Colour Calibration video gratis. A topic rarely covered which makes a huge difference to a global editing workflow. Please keep on with the videos they are really good.👍

[@eskay2250]

Brilliant and thanks for this video Mark! Wish I knew this yesterday when I was editing some fiddly subjects. Still finding my way around Lightroom so it was very instructive 😊

[@colinmelhuish1254]

Amazing result.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Thanks Colin!

[@marcelleenhendriks]

Hi Mark. Thanks for your lessons in LRC. I learned a lot.

Glad to do it!

[@ssdronography]

Yet another great video. You are by far my favorite subscription that I have in KZbin. So much great information and tips.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

That means a lot - thank you!

[@ssdronography]

@@MarkDenneyPhoto have you been to the Red River Gorge in Kentucky? That’s where I’m from.

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Thanks for this. I’ve used object selection but never considered using color or luminance as a refinement tool.

[@9H1RA]

amazing thanks

[@petergordon4666]

Thank you. Subscribed

[@bkc1965]

Very informative video as usual. Thanks for sharing with us Mark.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Thanks so much!

[@GregoryBell-v2b]

Great as usual Mark I have learned so much from you over the years. Thank you

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Love hearing this - thanks for letting me know!

[@leewolfe]

Great overview of object selection Mark and thank you as always. A thought about the iceberg, in particular, in this example, but it can apply to LR's object selection in general. The outer edge of the iceberg, where it touches the sky or water around it, ends up being a little too sharp/crunchy in terms of a transition, because the object selection is so precise; almost too precise. Especially when the subject is backlit or side-lit like this one, the light will naturally kind of "wrap around" the edge of the object, and that makes those sharp transitions at the edges a little strange. One way around it (literally) is to subtract with a high-feather brush at maybe 50% flow and just gently remove the sharp edge of the object mask so that there is a slightly more gradual transition between the edge of the object and the background.

[@irajnaghash]

Thank you very much

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Gladly!

[@mikebartow9415]

Thank you. I find the idea of using the color range in subtraction a very useful tool.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Same!

[@jamesss1953]

Amazing! Just what I need for a photograph I've taken of an oil platform in the Cromarty Firth (Scotland) > taken from the shore in Cromarty. Thank you for sharing....

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Thanks so much!

[@sureshmiraclesphotography4556]

WELL SAID

[@FlorianCortese]

Thanks Mark. This is a huge bit of info.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Glad to hear!

[@gashead2]

Great video thanks

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Glad you think so!

[@jonjonckheer5063]

Subscription to this channel is worth it just for the lightroom tips 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@tcteam9661]

Thank you!!! Great info.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Glad to do it!

[@newdayinspirations5792]

Great masking tips. This will save me so much time. I currently use the Add and Subtract feature to refine masks. I hope I can get it to work as quick and easy as you did.

[@willsimpsonphoto]

Love this feature! Ive been using those tools for a while now and its so good for really fine tuning the selections. You can use the object selection and color range tool for so many different uses.

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Same!

[@IanMSpencer]

The best thing is combinations are not one trick ponies. Colour range might suit one picture, luminance another. Then a linear gradient placed in the right place can add shape - say on a windmill photographed on a day with flat light. It's only a couple of years ago the only shapes we had were radial and linear gradients!

[@BabyBoomerChannel]

Wow - I’ve been using these masks for a while. This tip takes it to “11”. Thx
