Happy new year! by watching your video, I realised that I haven't updated my lightroom for so long. Am I the only one who don't update their apps so often???
Awesome!! Have used the sky mask and brushes but the people and object selection is great but where the object select doesn't work and you can paint it and then the ai finds the edges is awesome!!
I use Lightroom for iPad and I must say that the new update for healing is a great addition to my workflow. I’ve even stopped swearing while removing a object!
Happy New Year to you & yours too Mark! Great tips - thanks. Looking forward to what you have for us in 2023. On a lighter note, either your wrist watch or clock on the wall are not correct - LOL. Best wishes from the UK
Great video Mark, maybe you could move the girl a bit to the right, then she would stand in the middle of the picture (-: Is that also possible in LR12 ?
The content aware tool is a game changer for me. I batch edit portraits/family Photos in lightroom. I pretty much no longer need PS unless it is really complicated
please note, the Photography subscription on Creative Cloud are Photoshop, Lightroom and Bridge bundled under one sub. not 2 unless you do them individually
Thanks for sharing this video Mark. I was aware of many of the tools but you showed me a couple of things I had missed or just didn’t know about at all.
Nice! Indeed useful both tools that you showed here for us. To add something, its nice too that Lr have organized the sliders for masking it helps my steps one by one. Thanks a lot Mark.
Dodge and burn get me all the time too. It's because we no longer think of the negative process. Also, if you did the subject selection, you can then use the add or subtract feature that lets you use the brush to fine tune it.
Great video! I like the content remove tool! Using LR also as my catalogue with 450.000 truck pictures. Works very well. Can find any photo in a matter of seconds!
Thanks Mark! I just made a huge leap from Lightroom 4.4 (pre-subscription) to the latest version. I have only been using the new version for a week, while I was starting to get a hang of the masks, this video was a big help.
Thanks. Learned so much in this video. The masking options are getting amazing. The Remove option is so much better than I what I've tried in the past.
Once again your ability to be genuine is evident as you talk about editing your own photos. It is so easy to follow along with you as you edit your own photos and talk about how even in your shots you get blurry photos ( because it happens LOL) job well done once again!
Unfortunately, we're back in the office in person and I will have to wait until after work to watch the full video. Just checked youtube for the weekly upload to like and comment hahaha!
Wow! I have loved the new masking tools and used them a LOT in LRC 12. I never figured out how to make the object selection work though. Your video here made it so obvious I feel like smacking my head against a wall for having trouble before. Thanks for this one in particular!
Hey Mark. Another great vid! TIP: I stumbled across a Brush tool feature that's super helpful when LR's AI "over-selects" the intended object/subject. Sorry if you've already discussed this but I hope you and your peeps find helpful. I use Brush "A" as my "variable" brush, but set Brush "B" as my "blow it out / aggressive" brush. With "A" I tweak the brush variables depending on the situation. With "B" I leave it set to 100% opacity and 100% flow. A simple CTRL + wheel increases or decreases the size. To Subtract I choose "Subtract using Brush", click on brush B and, Bam! I can clean up any "overflow" in a flash. If i have too add back in, I go back to brush A and play with the flow and opacity. It sure beats readjusting the brush variables all the time (if you only stay with using one brush). Hope this helps!
A excellent video that is so helpful and full of great information!! Please, some time do a video on want you use in Photoshop and how to use the tools. Thanks, Mark for all you do- so helpful!!
I've always wanted to see a Lightroom filter within photoshop, or a more advanced camera raw. Still find myself having to go backwards and forwards between the 2. But great that Lightroom is improving.
Thanks Mark. Happy New Year. My standard workflow is to start in LR, jump to PS anytime I needed to "change" the image, then finish in LR. I find with the new tools, I jump to PS much less frequently. LR AI does a much better job than I can do in PS. There are still some finishing effects that PS can apply, but overall, LR is good for 90% of what I do.
Thank you for doing this video! It’s so much easier to know how to use new features when someone demonstrates their use on a photo. I don’t have the new update yet, but I’m very excited to start using it now. Happy new year!
Mark, this is an extraordinary revelation..it will truly change much of my post. Thanks for creating this video and opening the many possibilities this object selection provides. Thanks to Adobe as well for adding this creative tool.
Thanks for this video, Mark. I really didn't appreciate either the object selection tool or the content aware eraser in LR. I'll use it a lot more now after your helpful advice
With all these new developments in LR, I’ve especially been enjoying that most of my editing can remain in the RAW dng format before having to jump over into Photoshop. It keeps the image file cleaner, longer.
Yeah Mark, I agree with you that the clone tool inside Lightroom is now waaaay better! Objects that I would've had issues with to remove cleanly, I would say is now almost 100% to my liking!
i have a quick question: why do you never zoom in while making and changing masks? for example at 7:50 you didn't zoom in when it could have been much easier and faster to subtract the trees and the woman's legs
Hey Mark, sounds all very useful. When I tried to use it and with and object, power pole, that was behind a tree, the challenges increased exponentially. Sure, where there are objects clearly defined as in your picture, it seems relatively straight forward. Let me know if you want me to send the picture that a friend sent to me the other day of this tree that is illuminated on the beach, an hour after sunset with the ocean and beach in the background. I would love to hear your thoughts on how you would tackle the leaves and branches crossing the power pole. Great video nonetheless. 👍
Thank you very much! Somethings in a photo can be quite annoying and even obnoxious. But at what point do you feel you crossed a line and have cheated on a photo?
Great tips Mark. To be honest I’ve seen the new items such as the object mask but I haven’t paid much attention to it. Thank you for the enlightenment. I can see that being useful going forward.
Good video, one question about the subscription you mentioned. As far as I know Adobe does not offer a Lightroom only subscription but only the Photography package that has Lightroom and Photoshop as a bundle, correct?
Both of these tools look great and I want to say thanks for showing them. I was kind of hoping that the AI mask generating function could be applied to the content aware function. I can imagine using the object selection tool to something like a sign and then instead of doing a image adjustment you would just select content aware fill and it would exactly fill where the object is. I think the new content aware tool works much better but adding that extra little bit of precision using the AI selection tool could improve it that much more.
Super helpful Mark! Thank you for the demo. Be good if you make a video each time Adobe makes an update to Lr and breakdown the details of new features to us. Cheers from Seattle!
I think Lightroom Classic and Photoshop are both good, but they really are for different purposes. It's much easier to edit/retouch a photo in LRC, but if you want to manipulate the image Photoshop is really the only way.
Waiting for the few changes you showed that haven't made it to ACR yet. It seems Adobe bounces back and forth between introducing changes in Lr or ACR and then migrating to the other a few weeks later
Thanks Mark, and happy New Year! It’s incredible what can be done in LR! I attempted download your course but ran into problems. (I was having issues with Google at the time). I will give it another go when I have more free time….your teaching skills are amazing and I think I could learn a tremendous amount from it!
Was stoked to see they added CAF. Like you said, the clone & heal wasn't the best and like you, I would end up moving back n forth to remove objects between PS & LR. It is amazing that LR is becoming so powerful. But, then again, with the subscription base revenues, maybe they have much capital now to put towards constant development. Just a thought. Either way, love seeing the constant & meaningful updates. Keep up the great work on your end. Really helps out the community IMO!
Hey Mark, I’m recently subscribed, thanks for all the content! I have an unrelated question: Where do you order your picture frames from? And is there a difference between “poster frames” and “picture frames”? Thanks
Good stuff. I've become a big convert to masking in Photoshop with he TK panel, but it's good to see Lightroom stepping-up its game. I can see using that Object selector quite a bit, and I've already been using LR's Content Aware fill a lot. CAF does a better job with sensor dust too.
Fantastic tutorial, Mark. I have the update and have played around with it, but you've shown me some things I wasn't aware of. Happy New Year to you too!
💥Happy New Year!! Have you downloaded the New Lightroom Update yet?
I know I probably should not, but I always update LR as soon as it is released.
Happy New Year, Mark! All the best to you and yours. I didn't even know there'd been this update. I shall get on it now! Cheers.
Yes but only starting to use them. A winter project.
Happy new year! I will update now that I saw your new video!
Happy new year! by watching your video, I realised that I haven't updated my lightroom for so long. Am I the only one who don't update their apps so often???
I'm a Ps guy but I enjoy seeing your Lr edits, Camera Raw for me. I enjoy seeing your edits as most transfer over. Happy New Year.
Excellent thanks and PS, think your red clock has stopped!
Happy New year Mark, to you and all those you call your own. Another interesting video and thanks for sharing.
Great update by Lightroom! Also great vid Mark.
Awesome!! Have used the sky mask and brushes but the people and object selection is great but where the object select doesn't work and you can paint it and then the ai finds the edges is awesome!!
Really helpful video! Thanks, Mark!
Thanks very much Mark; a very useful video!
Hapy New Year!! Just downloaded LR earlier today. I'm hoping to get a few nice shots, then use LR. I'm getting excited just talking about it!
I use Lightroom for iPad and I must say that the new update for healing is a great addition to my workflow. I’ve even stopped swearing while removing a object!
Happy New Year to you & yours too Mark! Great tips - thanks. Looking forward to what you have for us in 2023. On a lighter note, either your wrist watch or clock on the wall are not correct - LOL. Best wishes from the UK
Great video Mark, maybe you could move the girl a bit to the right, then she would stand in the middle of the picture

Excellent! You pointed out a few things I was not aware of when using content aware. This is a big help to me.
Fantastic video, well done sir!
The content aware tool is a game changer for me. I batch edit portraits/family
Photos in lightroom. I pretty much no longer need PS unless it is really complicated
Happy New Year Mark and thanks for another great vid.
Happy New Year!!

Thank you Mark. This was an incredibly useful video. I learned a lot.
Lightroom keeps getting better and better.
Agreed!!
This is your best LR Edit video yet! Of course it just might be related to the new power of LR masks. :). Thanks a million!
Wow, thanks Chris!!
Thanks for sharing this video Mark. I was aware of many of the tools but you showed me a couple of things I had missed or just didn’t know about at all.
Glad to do it and thanks for checking out the video Jim!
Nice! Indeed useful both tools that you showed here for us. To add something, its nice too that Lr have organized the sliders for masking it helps my steps one by one. Thanks a lot Mark.

Also, if you did the subject selection, you can then use the add or subtract feature that lets you use the brush to fine tune it.
As a local, this spot is full of photographers during the fall. It’s one of the go to spots for most landscape photographers.
So helpful - thank you, Mark !!
Glad you think so Phillip!
Great video! I like the content remove tool! Using LR also as my catalogue with 450.000 truck pictures. Works very well. Can find any photo in a matter of seconds!
Super useful!
Good to be your subscriber.
Thanks for useful update.
I won't be able to figure out these things without watching this video.
Thanks so much!

Thank you for this and all of your other very informative and helpful videos. Happy New Year.
Thanks. Learned so much in this video. The masking options are getting amazing. The Remove option is so much better than I what I've tried in the past.
Great Video Mark- I like the explanation on both items and you made it much clearer to me
Once again your ability to be genuine is evident as you talk about editing your own photos. It is so easy to follow along with you as you edit your own photos and talk about how even in your shots you get blurry photos ( because it happens LOL) job well done once again!
Thanks Mark. Your tips are always great and so helpful in getting up to speed on new LR features. Happy New Year
Really helpful info on the content aware tool Mark, thanks very much
Glad to hear it Ross!
Thanks for the tuition. I never noticed these extra improvements but I’m going to try them now.
Great tips Mark. The LR program has become much, much more useful. Thanks for the clear explanations and have a great New Year.
Unfortunately, we're back in the office in person and I will have to wait until after work to watch the full video. Just checked youtube for the weekly upload to like and comment hahaha!
The "Person" mask is looking for faces. That's why it didn't work in this picture. Nice video :)
Any way that you can produce a mobile best practices video? For tablet specifically?
Your videos are so clear & helpful, thank you! I learn a new trick / hidden feature every time 👏🏻
Great job Mark, thank you for breaking it down for this guy.
Of course - glad to do it Rich!
Every video of yours that I watch I learn something new every time ☺ I just need to remember what to do 🤣
Wow! I have loved the new masking tools and used them a LOT in LRC 12. I never figured out how to make the object selection work though. Your video here made it so obvious I feel like smacking my head against a wall for having trouble before. Thanks for this one in particular!

Mark - When you use the mask tool how do you get Lightroom to accept the changes you have made ???
You never cease to identify and simplify important editing techniques. Thanks again Mark. Love your work!
Thank you, from a hobbyists ,lightroom is great for me, you always give good advice.
Thanks Bradley!
A excellent video that is so helpful and full of great information!! Please, some time do a video on want you use in Photoshop and how to use the tools. Thanks, Mark for all you do- so helpful!!
Fantastic training video! Clear, concise and easy to absorb. Thanks very much. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
As usual - I have used the new tools already, but I learn how to fully utilize them with your help. Thanks!
Great to hear!

Man I love your work/content. Improves my skillset everytime I watch a video of yours! Thank you so much.
Yeah Mark, I agree with you that the clone tool inside Lightroom is now waaaay better! Objects that I would've had issues with to remove cleanly, I would say is now almost 100% to my liking!
Wow! Love the content awareness tool! Thanks so much, Mark! Always pick up amazing tidbits from watching each of your videos. Thanks so much!
Just excellent Mark - great tutorials. I've learned more from you than any other source.
Great video to start 2023. These are definitely tools that add to the power of Lightroom. Thanks for demonstrating them so effectively.
Thanks Michael!
I found the selection tools by accident and absolutely love to be able to paint and or select what to mask. Thanks! #Adorama #CreateNoMatterWhat
Thanks for the good and clear update. As a new subscriber it is pleasure to watch your great education videos
i have a quick question: why do you never zoom in while making and changing masks? for example at 7:50 you didn't zoom in when it could have been much easier and faster to subtract the trees and the woman's legs
Fantastic clear instruction, thanks Mark.
Great video - any updates that keep me in LR longer and out of PS, are a major hit for me! - Thanks
Thank ya Paul!

Hi Mark, I'm just learning Lightroom Classic, and this was a great video.
Excellent video to start 2023 with. Lots of useful tips and hints. All the very best Mark for the new Year.
Thanks John!
Great new information! Thanks! Great vid too!
Glad you liked it Becky!
Nice vid (as always), thanks Mark!
My pleasure!
Thanks Mark for this super helpful video ! You are gifted as a teacher as well a photographer. A happy new year !

love the object mask. Content aware has been a little hit or miss for me.
Yeah same, but I find it a much improved option to clone/heal
Good video, one question about the subscription you mentioned. As far as I know Adobe does not offer a Lightroom only subscription but only the Photography package that has Lightroom and Photoshop as a bundle, correct?

Welcome!
I find object selection to be a little more accurate than subject selection. Really love what they did with that.
I think Lightroom Classic and Photoshop are both good, but they really are for different purposes. It's much easier to edit/retouch a photo in LRC, but if you want to manipulate the image Photoshop is really the only way.
My subscription includes Ps and Lr. My $10 subscription rate was grandfathered in after they raised the price.
Waiting for the few changes you showed that haven't made it to ACR yet. It seems Adobe bounces back and forth between introducing changes in Lr or ACR and then migrating to the other a few weeks later
Great video Mark ! I use Camera Raw but all the same tools and learned some new features from your video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

Hey Mark, Happy New Year to you! What about a video on a Capture One topic? Cheers, Mark
Happy New Year! I made 2 C1 videos a couple months ago if you’d like to check those out👍
@@MarkDenneyPhoto ...I've seen them (thanks for making them)....and would like to see more of them.....
Always a quality review. Excellent.
Thank you Mark, so clearly and simply explained even I can understand. You helped me so much with these. Happy New Year.
