Tip #2 is totally non-intuitive, yet it works. Like you, Anthony, I don't know why it works but it does. Keep the "Stupid Tips" series going forward. The name alone is a winner. Thanks Anthony.
Stupid Trick #2 seems to work because the masking AI mistakes the uniformly colored background for a sky. Since the model is not part of the ‘sky,’ intersecting the radial mask with the sky mask will not include the model. You might get the same result by subtracting a subject mask instead.
I do the radial gradient differently. I subtract the subject, but your way may be better. I'll try it out. I learned something new about the background color. I've been limiting myself to changing temp, tint and hue. Thanks for that tip !!!
I tried your technique of a spot light behind the subject. Shot outdoors with foliage as my subject in the foreground. Created a radial mask. Inverted, but instead of sky I used background to intersect. Sky was not an option. Background was more foliage, but it still worked great!
I hope you don't charge extra for multiple comments...I tried your "Intersect with Select Sky" with spotty results. My first attempt was with a sunflower blossom on a very busy and messy background. LrC said it could not find a sky. Next I tried with a subject that had a less serrated margin and a much more uniform background. The second attempt was successful. Thanks again.
That’s simple but interesting! Keep them coming. Sometimes the easy tricks can produce desirable results. Maybe not for everyone but someone can benefit from the tips.
Alternative for Trick 1: click in the number next to the slider where you can type-enter another number, or use the up arrow to raise the number (by 1 for each brief hit of the key) and with the down arrow lower the number in the same way. If you double click the name next to the slider it goes back to middle (0) position.
with the background spot light do it simpler, do your gradient and after go in the menu and subtract subject or person and it will only be on the background
Thanks Anthony. I'll have to try the Trick #2. Your trick #1 - extend the right panel with the ALT key in Develop module does not seem to work on a PC. I've seen others recommend this trick but always receive comments that it doesn't work on a PC. If you can figure out a way to make it work on a PC please let us know. Keep up your great tutorials
Anthony - on a PC, using LR Classic v13.4, holding the ALT key does not enable making the panel wider - tried in both Library and Develop modules - it stops where it always has - at about 20% or the screen.
Thanks Anthony. Question: with the spotlight… can you do the radial gradient and then subtract subject / person? Not sure if it’ll give different result. Thanks.
Thank you for this great video ....... I write a lot of my own Actions and sometimes require tp reposition to my liking after unclicking "Button Mode". After unclicking the Button Mode each Action folder is usually open with the list of the sub actions showing, so moving a Master action folder to another position takes a long time as you have to drag though all the open sub files showing. My question, is there a fast way to close all the Master Action, so the sub actions are not visible? Thank you

Wouldn’t it be easier to subtract the subject from the radial gradient?

Brilliant! All tips were amazingly simple and very useful. Thank you.

Making the exposure panel larger is a game changer!
I truly appreciate your content. PLEASE Keep this up. Thank You so much Anthony!
Brilliant. Thanks Anthony. Tips like this will always come in handy, and I wouldn't be surprised if they spark off some other great ideas. 👍 🙂
Always good stuff, Anthony, and nothing "stupid" about any of these tricks. Thank you!
I did not know numbers 2 and 3. They will be a great help. Thanks so much Anthony!!

Thank you...spot light behind model, great!

Yes, it is really nice to work without disturbing pixels, what we do at Photoshop, you are great sir, maybe anything possible you can😃👍❤
Very nice examples and the short format helps a lot
Great tips. Keep them coming.. I love your course on Lightroom.
The halo effect also works by subtracting the subject from the radial mask
Great tips! We certainly would like more "stupid" tips!
with the background spot light do it simpler, do your gradient and after go in the menu and subtract subject or person and it will only be on the background
Excellent video, keep the short videos coming!
Pleased to have more Lightroom tricks, thanks!
Tricks were not new to me, but if you don't use them regularly they are easily forgotten, please do this more often. Thanks
Loved this. So cool. And great that it's short and sweet!
Thanks Anthony. I'll have to try the Trick #2. Your trick #1 - extend the right panel with the ALT key in Develop module does not seem to work on a PC. I've seen others recommend this trick but always receive comments that it doesn't work on a PC. If you can figure out a way to make it work on a PC please let us know.
Keep up your great tutorials
Double thumb high! Great! Thank you.
Keep them coming! You've taught me so much!
That “spotlight” mask trick is interesting. 👍🏻
Great video! I love short sharp and to the point videos!
Anthony - on a PC, using LR Classic v13.4, holding the ALT key does not enable making the panel wider - tried in both Library and Develop modules - it stops where it always has - at about 20% or the screen.
Anthony keep them coming , I love them
