It doesn’t really matter how many of us already know this subject inside out. Keep it fresh and updated for the next one just starting and for the old guy who needs a refresher.
This was an excellent, straightforward explanation. I knew ability existed, but didn’t quite know how to employ intersecting masks. I think I’ll be able to put them to good use now, however. Thank you.
You don't need to go via the three dots to come to the intersect function. If you press the Alt key, the buttons Add and Subtract will change to one button called Intersect. May be a little faster.
The more I learn about intersecting masks, the easier it gets to use them. At first, I was a bit confused, but slowly, I am getting to use it more and more. Thanks for your video. Extremely helpful and easy to follow.
Thank you for making a somewhat confusing topic very clear. I've watched a few tutorials on this and came away with a great understanding thanks to your presentation. A+!
Mr. Morganti, thank you so much for another revealing video. Until now I didn't exactly found out how this works. You're my numero uno ! Greets from Belgium !
Thank you for this awesome tutorial Anthony! I have been trying to learn new masking techniques for lightroom, and this tutorial has really opened my eyes to new possibilities. Keep up the great work!
For visual learners, Anthony's videos are fantastic in allowing me to absorb concepts, such as this tool. Seeing dulling/overlapping mask add or subtract, will improve my dogging and burning skills, to better develop my images to my liking. Another 5 ***** training video, at a price anyone can afford. Thank-you Sir.
In the Second Subject, woman in front of glass, I have used the intersect in two different ways. 1) I would Person Mask Select the face & all facial features, including the clothing and intersect that with a linear gradient the other way 2) Would be to use the Object Select grabbing everything I wish to affect and then intersecting with either a brush like you did or again with the linear gradient. I would choose linear gradient mostly because it is direct sunlight and not restricted by the glass. Using either of these techniques would avoid the back of the hand issue that you experienced. The techniques are fun to learn and master. In the 3rd subject the radial gradient was a great choice for the feminine curves in an outdoor environment, looks like a bit of an artificial light was used and a good technique.
Thanks for simplifying the methodology Anthony, haven’t used intersection much to date as it didn’t do what I expected, however after your video will use more on as you say, directional lighting enhancements - thanks !
Thanks. Terrific video as always. I have used this technique - but for some reason, I tend to forget it's there. Hopefully, I'll be more on my game from now on.
I have heard of intersecting masks but this is a great presentation that actually shows how to use them properly. I like the effects and particularly the examples you use with the models makes it easier to understand. Thank you, and keep up your terrific work.
I do plan to use this. You've made it clearer exactly what it does - "it only affects the overlapping areas" made it click for me. Thank you for this video.
Thanks for this video. I’ve seen this option in the menus but never tried it, thought i was okay with basic mask options. The examples shown are straight outa my experiences when i wished i knew how to make the masking tools more responsive to a particular. Bottom line is the video is a great help to this Lightroom novice. Appreciate all you do.
Anthony yet another good video on Intersecting masks along with a simple explanation. I plan on using this when dehazing backgrounds to make the affect more appealing. Thanks for all that you do.
Thanks anthony. I was using this yesterday with radial and subject for a macro underwater shoot. I always search your tutorials/tips first when I need inspiration and time saving ideas. Great idea and well timed Love your bonus reminders are shift and option keys etc too.
I have been trying intersecting since seeing in your LR course but these are even better examples. I have watched this twice. I think I understand now. I have been trying to intersect a NEW mask with a previous one and the intersect choice is not there of course.
In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to intersect masks in Lightroom and, of course, explain why you might want to do that.

Thank you for sharing.
I didn't understand and therefore didn't use intersecting masks...until now. Wow, what a great tool. Thanks Anthony. Keep this type of content coming.
The more I learn about intersecting masks, the easier it gets to use them. At first, I was a bit confused, but slowly, I am getting to use it more and more. Thanks for your video. Extremely helpful and easy to follow.
I’ve heard about it, but didn’t grasp the ‘how-to’. You were very clear in explaining and examples. Thank you.
I use intersecting masks all the time. That new feature is remarkably useful.
I use intersecting masks a lot but as usual, I still gained extra tips from this tutorial, thanks.
I've never heard of intersecting masks before viewing this video. I'll try it out first opportunity I have. Many thanks.
Great tutorial as always. I’ve been struggling with masks in Lightroom forever, but this tutorial helped me a great deal. Thank you
Was a little uncertain about it - much clearer now - thank you
Thank you for making a somewhat confusing topic very clear. I've watched a few tutorials on this and came away with a great understanding thanks to your presentation. A+!
Intersecting masks is probably my most misunderstood feature of the new LR. Please keep these video examples coming.
I always enjoy your videos - simple to understand, but very useful! Thanks.
Funnily enough I used the technique this past weekend.. Very useful 😊
I haven't used intersecting masks much, but I will now! Thanks!
Great tips Anthony. I am loving these intersecting masks. Very powerful.
Mr. Morganti, thank you so much for another revealing video. Until now I didn't exactly found out how this works. You're my numero uno ! Greets from Belgium !
After your good explanation I will certainly use the intersect masking option. Thanks
Awesome! That's such an elegant solution! Thanks Anthony!😊
I have not used intersecting masks but I certainly will going forward. Thanks!!!
As always great new feature and how to use it ..10 years after 😊 still here
This was excellent! You just opened my eyes to a whole new world!
Very useful video. Will definitely use intersecting masks in the future
I knew it existed but never tried ...now I plan on using it a lot more.
Always a lot of new features in your videos I didn't have a clue about! Intersecting is new to me! But I wish I had known before.
What a GREAT tutorial, knew about it, but your explanation/examples were awesome!!!! Thank You!!!
I've used it often to tackle some tricky situations. I
t's very versatile and more powerful than one might think.
I haven’t used intersecting masks before. Thanks for the tutorial. Definitely something I could use.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial Anthony! I have been trying to learn new masking techniques for lightroom, and this tutorial has really opened my eyes to new possibilities. Keep up the great work!
Thanks. That really helps me to understand the intersecting feature. It’s been confusing to me. 👍🏻
Great explanation. I have been confused about how this kind of masking works for ages and now realise that it’s quite straightforward
Wow! You just schooled me again! Thanks Anthony
Fab have used Lightroom for ages but never knew about these and can’t wait to play ❤
Good instructions. I’m a first time user of intersect. Thanks for the video.
Great demo, intersecting mass is new to me. Actually Lightroom in general is new to me, but will give it a try this weekend. Thanks again.
Thanks for another great video. I use intersecting masks all the time. They are a very useful tool.
Haven't used it much but you have shown me where it could be of great use. Thanks!
Good explanation and demo of this feature. I've not used it before but will because I now understand how it works.Thanks!
Great video, thank you for encouraging me to use more than the brush tool when intersecting.
Tried unsuccessfully for a while to get my head around intersecting masks; now I get it. Thank you.
Thank you Anthony for your clear explanation of these tools..📷
I often use an intersecting mask when bringing out sky detail by using a combination of select sky and linear gradient; the results look more natural.
This was very helpful. I saw a tutorial from another channel regarding this subject and it really didn’t sink in until I saw this video. Many thanks!
Wow! I can't count how many times in the past I've wanted to be able to do this!!!! Thanks Anthony........

Seeing dulling/overlapping mask add or subtract, will improve my dogging and burning skills, to better develop my images to my liking. Another 5 ***** training video, at a price anyone can afford. Thank-you Sir.
you learn something new everyday, the intersecting mask option is a great tip.....
I kind of heard about it but had no clue how it works! Thanks! ❤️
I always learn from you . . . I'll give this a try next time I'm in LR
Once again a super tutorial delivered in a very pleasing way. Please keep them coming.
Thanks, for showing me/us, you made it very clear...
Excellent tutorial, Anthony. Thank you.
I’m only new to Lightroom but that is brilliant intersecting masking thank you

NEW to me and will most likely use it.
Thank you

Anthony, you are really the best of the best always! Thank you for this tip!
I have spent hours in photoshop trying to achieve the same effects, with some successes. This has made life much easier, thanks! Great tip
never used it before, but will in the future. Thank you.
Thanks Anthony! Very helpful! You da man!
I've known about this for a year but never think to use it. It's conceptually a little hard for me to grasp but this video definitely helped. Thanks!
I plan on using it moving forward, thanks.
Finally got it.. Thanks Anthony.. Will start to use it
Thanks. Looks like something I will use in the future.
Very inspiring. Thanks a lot.
Very interesting. I will definitely use it in the future

Great explanation I’ll try it!
Anthony yet another good video on Intersecting masks along with a simple explanation. I plan on using this when dehazing backgrounds to make the affect more appealing. Thanks for all that you do.
Simply explained ... 🙏🙏👌👌
Anthony, I have tried before but never seen the effect. Your examples were great and I will use to fine tune my exposures. thanks
I use intersecting masks all the time. Mostly in PS with TK plugin but occasionally in ACR. Good explanation.
I have used intersections before but this is a clever way of employing the concept that I hadn't thought of. Thanks!
Thank you I'll think I plan to use it in the future.
Hi really useful as always I have never heard of this but will defenately be using it now, thanks.
its good for refining selections too
Great info! Thank you!!
Thanks anthony. I was using this yesterday with radial and subject for a macro underwater shoot. I always search your tutorials/tips first when I need inspiration and time saving ideas. Great idea and well timed Love your bonus reminders are shift and option keys etc too.
Great tutorial! I could have used this technique when trying to darken one side of a photo using gradient in PS.
awesome tutorial
FANTASTIC!!
I haven't but soon will it looks very useful.
Thats very helpful, thank you.
This was some great info.
simply cool. Adobe should hire you :-)
Amazing. Thanks.
Excellent! Thank You.
Well done !

Nice info
Awesome ! Thank you.
Never used it. Thanks!
3:21 you might mention as well: removing a accidentaly applied brush might be removed by using "press-ALT"+"the brush accidentaly applied"
