  • In this tutorial, I explain how to use the masks in Adobe Lightroom Classic for a more artistic way to create a high-drama Black and White. The masking techniques shown here, allow you to focus your effects for light and colour grading within your image, being selective to increase the overall dodge and burn effect for your image.

    Finally I've found a channel which explains clearly how to make it done! There's tons of fancy classes out there who doesn't explain half of it, and you're giving us for free. Thanks a lot, Jamie!

    I like this technique, a lot. In my experience the histogram is probably your best friend when doing any form of editing so that things do not get too much out of whack/gamut for the given image profile you're working with. What looks good in sRGB may not be correct for the paper you intend to print your image on as the ICC profile (Adobe RGB profile required) are totally different. Thanks for these videos which are always informative and full of good tips.

    A color photo converted into an exceptional piece of Photographic Art. Your ability to previsualize what needs to happen and know the tools to get that done, is remarkable. Thanks once more for teaching us so much.

    • @jamiermathlin
      @jamiermathlin  10 місяців тому

      Thank you for your kind words 😀 starting to think ahead is the real key to photography, you have to capture the data that you need for the final image, hence always shoot RAW and consider the high and low lights in your exposure !

    Hello Jamie, I'm just watching your 'How to use Masks artistically in Lightroom' video for a second time. My wife and I were out in Derbyshire yesterday (07 Apr 2023) at one of our favourite locations near Rowsley. There is a two arch stone bridge there, that crosses the River Wye. In the afternoon sunshine there were some great shadows across the bridge from nearby trees, and the arches were glowing with reflections from the river. I remembered your LRc masking technique to selectively specify areas that you wanted to highlight. Your technique is exactly what I'm looking for Jamie for the stone bridge as I want to bring out the water reflections under the arches. Thank you Jamie.

    Hi Jamie.
    This is another wonderful B&W video.
    I've never worked like that despite the fact that I always shoot B&W.
    And I've tried it and I really like it.
    I now get even more out of my color photo for B&W.
    Thank you for this wise lesson.
    So you see, you're not too old to learn.
    And the way you teach is very pleasant to listen to, my friend.
    I've been photographing for almost 35 years now and I still learn something new every time.
    And that's the beauty of photography you never get tired of learning.
    Thanks, buddy, I'll be following you for sure.

      As you say you are never too old to learn, and I do believe you can teach an old horse new tricks, I am learning every day. It is great when people give me tips, they add to the knowledge and fun of the hobby 😀

    I am completely captivated with your channel and I have learned more than I could ever imagine. You explained the colors in the histogram arrows as Blue 90% Teal 95% on highlights and Red 90% Yellow 95% shadows. Did I understand this correctly?

      When you say remove the horizon, do you mean to blend the sky into the landscape ? happy to demonstrate any style :-)

    I don't like the banding in the sky

    • @jamiermathlin
      @jamiermathlin  Рік тому

      I think it is due to the compression applied by UA-cam, as the original on my machine looks perfect. When I play the video back on a different machine I can see the banding in the sky. This is all I can think it is. but, thank you for letting me know, I will keep an eye on this with other video.
