[@AnthonyMorganti]

In this video, I demonstrate how you can use the new masking features in Lightroom to edit the background, midground, and foreground of a picture independently of one another. ** I am an affiliate for all of the companies listed EXCEPT Affinity Photo.

Still no DxO Photolab 5 review, very disappointing. Must have been out 2 months of so and appears to be outselling most others.

Thanks Anthony for demonstrating the new Lightroom masking features. I find them a lot easier to target certain areas and improve the post processing of my images.

[@bosckieselarrka32]

Oh I love LIGHTROOM just because of you. You make it so easy for us to learn. Thankyou

[@Jayling]

Thanks so much for yet another great tutorial, Anthony. I love this new masking feature in Lightroom, and you made it so much easier to understand and use. :)

[@michaelmcphee2930]

Thank you for demonstrating the scope of this tool. Amazing

[@chrishall6364]

Thank you so much for your recent videos about the new masking feature; they explain it clearly in a readily understandable way and are really useful.

[@georgecarpenter4126]

This was an especially useful video. I’m still working my way through the new masking tool upgrades, but I really like what they add to Lightroom Classic.

[@i.m.5621]

Anthony, thanks for another very useful and inspiring video. This is a really great idea with eliminating the mask using a brush in the clipping areas.

[@raymondjobin4446]

Very, very useful. So much to learn, but am enjoying experimenting with the new features.

[@christophewarnier306]

This is a great helping video. the demonstration is full of help. thank you very much

[@tommcmillan2300]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you Tom!

[@roderickmclean9927]

Thanks Anthony, you make it easy to understand.

[@rlfisher]

I am finding it to be very helpful to label the individual masks (Sky, foreground, midground) rathern than just Mask 1, 2, 3. That makes it much quicker to go back later and fine-tune.

[@markzphotoscom]

Good demonstration Anthony.

[@Drago.S]

Looking forward to an update, in the sense that you can auto-update to select subject mask when you have a batch of similar images, and you want to update the mask as you do with the other settings

[@debbieshriner1308]

Thank you for another great video!!! I am loving the new masking in Lightroom!! And this video helped out a lot, looking for word to more videos like this one

[@John-dt4bi]

Amazing. Thank you so much, Anthony. Fantastic.

[@joseotoya2102]

Another great one Anthony 👍👍

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Thanks for a great overview workflow on masking!!

[@ArnoldBerger49]

Good job explaining the masking tools!

[@sharonnahill3578]

Thanks, Again, Anthony. SO helpful. I am using all the masking tools right now. One issue I am having is that my subtract brush is not very effective. i have go over the areas again and again. It works great if I shrink down the brush to a tiny dot. What am I doing wrong. Some density slider, perhaps? You are the best!

[@r.v.niddrie9111]

Wow. Amazing

[@tonyel99]

Great lesson! Always the best!

[@sonicyouth76]

This is great tutorial!! Thank you!!

[@cliffk808]

Great video Anthony! Any chance you could do video about intersecting in a mask?

[@cliffk808]

Disregard the request. I saw your Deep Dive tutorial on Masking and it was excellently explained there! Thanks!

[@simonpetergreen]

hey nice channel mate.. calm and clear

[@tiaoat2013]

Outstanding. One area of confusion for me. When you have a landscape photo like that and you know you want to work on the sky and other areas separately do you go straight to the masking panel first without making any global tone adjustments? Seems this would be the way to go and then possible go back to the basic panel afterwards to possibly adjust the tone cure, vignettes etc. Am I reading this right? Thanks in advance for a reply.

[@johnboyaz3095]

Anthony - In the video, you mentioned that you did not like to have clipping in the highlights and you used a minus/remove brush to eliminate the additional clipping in the sky that your edits of the mask introduced. However, this still left the small bit of clipping that was originally in the photo prior to the masking. Do you think that using the spot removal tool would have been an acceptable way to remove it?

[@karenm853]

Beautiful. This is Lightroom Classic? I don’t have this version. Do I need to reinstall Lightroom Classic?

[@kesavachandran6313]

Excellent class ❤️👍👌👌

[@NakedInSeattle]

The BEST!

[@mweber2000]

Anthony, thank you for another very informative video. Am I correct that when using the masking there is a limited number of adjustments that can be made to the masked area? IE Only what shows in that one adjustment panel, no HSL or Tone Curve or Color Grading, etc? Also the Option key doesn't have the same effect on White/Black point adjustment in Masking as it does otherwise (showing the areas being clipped), do you know if its by design?

[@CiBogey]

LR just dropped another update

[@DB-wx1zs]

I find the New Masking features in LR and CR to be phenomenal, but there’s one issue I’ve noticed that I haven’t seen anyone mention, maybe it’s only me that notices this, but the issue is that when you’re making these adjustments with the masks in LR & CR, it is not using the same full Raw data it would be using if you was just editing in the basics panel, curves, HSL, camera calibration…etc. I know because I tested it by making an adjustment in the basic panel, then resetting and starting over again and created a linear gradient mask over the imagine and used the same settings I used when I edited it only in the basic panel. The first edit with the basic panel clearly looked different, it used more Raw data information than it did when I made the linear gradient mask adjustment. So It seems like when you’re editing with masks it’s editing it almost like a jpeg(but obviously better), but it isn’t using all the same raw data that it would be using if you just edited it in the basic panel. So I would like to know your thoughts on this. Thank you! P.S. i figured out a way to edit only the Raw data, and that is by opening up the image From LR or CR into PS as a smart object, then go to select > smart object > and click on > New smart object to create a second smart object layer. Now you can double click on the layer and it opens up in CR so you can edit different parts of that same full raw photo, and create masks in PS. Doing it this way uses all of the Raw data. Or that’s what it seems like to me. Anyway would love to hear your feed back! Thank you!

[@claudiaholt7306]

Very helpful. So much to learn!

[@19Photographer76]

I was surprised to see halos develope on the poles...

[@Daniel1974.]

🥇👏

[@shahg5524]

Not sure what “clipping” was or wasn’t explained. So most of the video didn’t makes sense

[@sjorsobbens]

Please stop using these clickbate thumbnails. You will be so much more respected for it. By me to begin with :-)

[@ryanasak]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Again, thank you so much Robert!

[@cuneoca]
