This week we head into the editing suite and sit down for a classical editing session like some of my first videos I ever did. It's been awhile and the winter months tend to mean I spend a bit more time editing my images than taking them.
This video encompases everything you could want to know about masking in Lightroom in 2024. This will work in both lightroom classic and lightroom mobile. Once you really understand these tools, it will open new doors in your editing capabilities within your images. At first it might seem daunting but once you start using the masks in Lightroom, you'll never be able to edit without them. Personally I think this is the strongest and most important tool within Lightroom but I'd love to hear what you think about your experience with Masking.

I'd love to know what you learned in this video! Hearing from you is wonderful, but only when you're nice
Fantastic tutorial! Fast paced, quick, and to the point. No rambling. I love that. Definitely learned some new techniques for my wildlife images. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you. Cheers mate!
I’ve played with masks for quite a while but I can already see it was just that-playing. Another awesome guide as usual, Alex.
(P.S. sorry I haven’t been commenting. Still watching! Just life has thrown me some curveballs lately. It’s been nice to see you’re doing well.)
Ahhh I've been wondering where you were Andrew! hope you're well
Wonderful tutorial Alex!
Ah no way you sat through this Christian, don't lie to me! :P
great video Alex!!!
Great tutorial. I would be interested in seeing similar videos for other tools in lightroom as well!
Thank you :) Might be doing more this winter
Phew, great tutorial. I do find that basic masks are great but using the add, subtract, and intersect functions I tend to lose what I'm actually trying to achieve in the first place. This video helped me better understand. Practice makes perfect thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
That's a great post, Alex. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the video. I learned I know a lot less about editing and photography than I thought.
Ooooooo can’t wait to sit down for this one! I’ve just recently been clumsily dipping my toes into this on my own.
Good morning Alex 🌈 What I learned is a crappy photo can be made to look great with editing.
HEY WHAT DO YOU MEAN CRAPPY PHOTO?! :) Hehehehe
@@AlexArmitage 😇
Great video explaining all the different options you have for masking. Not sure if you know, I haven't seen anyone use it, but if you have a mask active you can hold Alt to show a Intersect button. Easier in my opinion then fiddling with the ellipsis button 😊
And I've been using your Companion for over a year or so. I really like it because it helps me tremendously to keep the same flow during editing and because of that I'm more consistent in my style of editing across images. I've made some tweaks to some of the presets so they apply my personal preferences.
I did indeed know that! I just left it out so people could know where it was without requiring a shortcut.
This is great feedback. It's wonderful to read such kind words
Excellent video. I have used masks for a couple of years, and I did learn a couple tricks I did not know.
Thanks a lot David
thank you teacher, alex :)
You are welcome!
It'd be cool if we could get a dng to follow along.
I was cynical about this video in that I've been using LR for many years and believed that I had mastered it. Yes, I learned about intersecting masks as well as some of the tools to feather that I didn't know about. Very good job.... OBTW with the mustache and glasses, you look very believable. You would do well as a professor or an expert witness in court.😏
Haha thanks for the kind words and glad you learned something!
How much of the same things are available in Photoshop (I really dislike LR)? I probably don't use masks as much as I should.
Are we talking camera raw or just photoshop?
@@AlexArmitage whichever, like I said I don’t utilize this the way I probably should, and want to add some new methods to my tool belt to improve my editing.
