Master the Powerful and Precise Masking of Lightroom!

Master the Powerful and Precise Masking of Lightroom!

When Adobe announced the new masking tools for Photoshop Camera Raw and Lightroom, we all celebrated. With the most recent updates, these new tools have become more powerful at creating masks for local adjustments and a great enhancement to what was available in previous software versions. However, these masking tools can be a bit tricky to master and that’s where this workshop comes in! 

In our 3 hours together, we will help de-mystify the tools and set you on the path of creative mastery. We will set the stage for a simple workflow, starting with the fundamentals of masking using the brush, radial and linear gradients, luminance  and color range masks and the A.I. driven select subject, sky and background tools. We will then dive into the nuances of each tool including combining methods and intersecting masks. We will end the evening working with the new people masking option, so you can take your portrait enhancement skills to the next level.

Due to the “hands on” nature of this workshop we will need to limit the class size to 12 students and all participants should have a solid foundation in using Adobe’s Lightroom Classic. Bring your computer. Class taught by Randy Collier.
