Advanced Lightroom - Powerful Masking Tools

Learn about Masking in Lightroom, from the basic to the complex. This class will focus entirely on using the Masking tool. Masking gives you the ability to selectively adjust large or small parts of a photo. You can make changes that are subtle or dramatic.

You’ll have hands on practice adding masks to different types of photos. Time permitting, you can also bring your own photos to work on.

This class is not appropriate for someone new to Lightroom. Students are expected to be familiar with Lightroom and the tools for adjusting your photos.

Learn about:

Types of masking:

• Targeting specific features of a person’s face or body
• Adjusting only the sky
• Selecting an individual subject or object for masking
• Using the brush for fine tuning a mask
• Linear Gradient masks
• Radial Gradient masks
• Color Range and Luminance Range masks

Masking techniques:

• Inverting
• Duplicating
• Adding or Subtracting from a mask
• Using multiple masks
• Managing the Masks panel

Note: For the class you'll bring your own laptop (desktops are fine too) with Lightroom installed. You can use either version of Lightroom; Lightroom Classic or the plain version of Lightroom.
