Peed ‘The previous example was quite ‘imple in terms of masking, This ‘next one isa litle more complex. ‘We have a toucan on 8 brach witha leafy background that se want to adjust. We clicked Select Subject and a mask was created. It made quite a good job oft. Various adjustments were made to the bira's exposure to reveal abit ‘more detall. What happens if you want to alter the background? Since our bird alteady has a good ‘mask, we can actually click on its Mask 1 Icon in the layer panel and choose the Duplicate option. The duplicate is renamed Backaround and is inverted ‘Any adjustments made to this mask moans that only the background is affected. The green background is adjusted toa new colour, but as you see, the branch ig alzo colour sifted too. Below the mask ayers are two buttons. One is Add and the other is Subtract. ‘These two buttons let you add or subtract masking Information tothe chosen layer using any af the ‘masking options such as the Linear Gradient, Racal Gradient and Brus etc In this case, we are going to Use the Brush tool to subtract some of the mask from the Background layer. A New Brush layer is added to the layer stack under Backsround. Now you can Luse a brush to paint over the branch and erase any ‘mask data to reveal the original branch colour. ll the ‘masking options can be used in conjunction with one ‘another fer complex masking shapes ‘As mentioned before, adjustments made lusing the brush feature pre-2022 and ‘now inthe current version, remain the Same basic procedure, You just need to.open the Masking too! in order to find the Adjustment Brush option. By dofault, whon you apply an adjustment i withthe brush, there is no effect other than activating the colour overlay £0 you know where you're painting. You can begin F to dia in your adjustments after. Note that as soon as You ‘add any adjustment the colour overlay is turned! off so ‘you can see the effect you're having on your image. When 2 the Brush tool is active, note that you have Brush settings available that govern the size, softness and density of the mask you're applying, These can be easily adjusted using 5 the sliders. You also have the option to use the Auto Mask feature. When tumed on, as you brush over the image, It wll ero E look for obvious changes in contrast that might indicate an ‘edge and attempt to mask up to the edge, Turn this off it you don't need itto refine the brush strokes you're making. ‘Add adjustments to the brush mask as necessary. Remember that this mask, like all the others can be edited, added to, removed from, and intersected with, the other masking ‘options available, Bose ann Ts OEP P ESTP OOOO OUD LIGHTROOM UPDATES AND IMPROVEMENTS Instead of a gradient that runs ina straight line, the Radial Gradient emanates outward from a central point ina circular {er oval shape. The adjustments visible can be strongest at its centre and face to zero atts outside edge, or be inverted so all of the effect outside the outer edge ofthe radius {s seen at 100% and fades to zero atts centre, In the case of ‘our example, we dragged a Radial Gradient from the centre Of the gts face outwards past her har at its centre, the feffect was zero, but atthe outer edge, the drop In Exposure fof -3.5 was at 100% visibility. All the other masking types ‘ean be brought to bear on the mask inthe form of additions, Subtractions and Intersections. Also beatin mind that since. the mask has control points, you are able to go back in at any time and move the mask, scale it and alter the effect you've created with ease, Nua Broadly similar to methods used in the Color Range option, Luminance Range makes its decisions on what areas to ‘mask based on the brightness ofthe tones selected in the image rather than its colour ‘Choosing an area of Bright sky ina landscape photo creates a mask that falls within the tonal values selected, All other tonas are protected by the mask However, you can use the Luminance Range panel to alter how many brighter or darker tones are included inthe mask. ‘Think ofthis abit ike the Levels adjustment in Photoshop. You're simply telling the mask to include the darker tones. {and lighter tones most directly similar to the ones already Selected. When you are happy with the tonal range selected, you can make your adjustments to the Image, ‘One feature in amongst all the new Masking tools isthe Intersect function. It lets you combine ‘masks in interesting ways that {ive you a lot of scope when it comes to more precise ‘application of masks during your workflow. We have a simple ‘example to show you where we wish to create a bright halo behing the lone tree atop a hill Our first step would be go to the Masking tool and choose the Select Sky option. Lightroom wll assess the image and mask the sky out (Sky 1 under the Mask 1 layer). Since the tree and the horizon both provide strong outlines to work with, the selection is quite refined, Now we want to remove ‘most of the mask apart from a halo around the toe itself. You can click the Sky T menu tab and then click Intersect Mask With to open a second ‘menu where you can choose which option you'll Intersect the current mask with. We opted for the Brush tool. We set its size and positioned it over the tree and clicked to apply it. What happens next Is that al ofthe Select Sky mask will be removed apart from whatever area sits within the Brush stroke you just used, You now have that ‘area of sky with the tree and ground still masked ‘Out. You will see a Brush I layer added to your Mask layer set to indicate what you've done. ‘Adjusting the Exposure, Temporature and Color ‘ives you the desired effect of the halo within that Very specific area LIGHTROOM UPDATES AND IMPROVEMENTS.
