Using Lightroom Brush Tool with Auto Masking to Refine Masks

In this quick video I show the use of Subject and Object selections and how we clean up those masks with the use of the Brush Tool using auto mask.

Thank you for such a simple and clear way of cleaning up a mask. I have been watching all the pros but none have shown this simple and effective method. 👏🏾🇯🇲

Agree with this, never seen mask clean up done like this before. It's a simple but brilliant technique and explained perfectly. Thank you very much.

Thanks, Never to old to learn something new.

[@easternshorephotoinstruction]

You got that right! Now that I am retired, I am always looking to find something new to learn every week. Adobe never disappoints as far as making you learn :). Thanks for the comment.

I am surprised how much you can give away to the uninitiated, and so willingly, without holding back. May your tribe flourish.

[@easternshorephotoinstruction]

Funny you should say that. I am planning on a photo backpack give away next week. Stay tuned.

As always Mickey, an excellent video. Clear and concise. I have always struggled to use the subtract-brush effectively with any degree of accuracy but now ... wow! I never thought to use auto-mask but now you've shown me how it's done cleaning up object-selected masks will forever be a doddle to do, so thanks a lot.

[@easternshorephotoinstruction]

Glad it was helpful! I am like you, love the masking tools but they always need a little tweak. At least they are giving us tools to make it better. Thanks for the comments!
