This is hugely useful. I've been struggling to understand how best to use the range sliders in the color and luminance range masks and this makes it clear. Many thanks.
Great tutorial as usual. With the color range mask you can draw a small box in the area you want to select to select more than one color. It can be a helpful in situations like this one where the is a range of different tones to select rather than to select the color of a single pixel with the eyedropper.
@@ThePhlogPhotography Just for this comment alone, you just gained a fan and subscriber. Being honest about what you do and don't know is important. Though I knew about drawing the box for colors, I did not know about the little tab for softening the luminance. I learned a bit today, thank you. It's the little give and takes that will help us all learn a little more about our craft.
Your videos are really working for me. I have watched lots of other tutorials on masking but when I watch yours it sticks. Thanks for including the material so I can follow it helps a lot.
@@ThePhlogPhotography Have you thought about doing some videos on B&W? I need a lot of help with that. I was looking at this page for David Marques and was just astonished at the B&W. what do you think?www.youtube.com/@rawvoltairephoto
Thank you Christian. I learn so much from your LR videos, and it's nice that you repeat some key techniques in different videos because it helps me remember them.
Christian, Both Luminance and Colour Range mask have strengthened the highlights and shadows of the photo, in which they made the entire picture glow brightly and in stronger contrast as well. It is getting more beautiful and stunning. You have made a brilliant demonstration explicitly, and it is very informative. I am grateful for your inspiration. You helped me a lot.
Hey Cristian, thanks for a very informative video: loved the way you created the final image. One thing I don’t understand: what was the decision behind moving radius all the way to the left and detail all the way to the right in sharpening? How do you decide on what those sliders should be set at? I normally just leave them at the defaults.
Thank you so much! Applying sharpening like this basically gives the best sharpening results. If you turn up the radius, more pixels around and edge will get sharpened and thus it becomes more visible (think of it like halo). To minimize that, I turn down the radius all the way to get really fine sharpening coupled withg masking + detail!
I think usage of Luminosity mask in Photoshop has better control. One suggestion is change the Blend mode to Linear light and lower the Fill to 10-15% and see the result.
I agree, if you want to have WAY better control over what you target, Photoshop is the way to go! But using Lightroom like this is much easier and available to more people because of that
You have become my LI teacher. Thank you for your work. If you are collecting topics for further work, I have one. Photo organizers - collections, sets of collections, ... VJ
You’re doing a very fantastic job Christian.. Lrc masks is getting good and things like objects and intersect make huge difference .. but unfortunately, it’s still not supported in Lightroom mobile I don’t know why they haven’t added that yet, ti use intersect I can get around sometime by reversing the procedure, but it’s exhausted and not easy If it possible you make some videos about how to find tricks to overcome the difference between LRC and LR because there is so many people like me who use LR mobile or iPad a lot because they’re editing while being outside most of the time Thank you
Thank you for the kind comment! I think Adobe wants to keep these two Versions separated much like LR and Photoshop so the LR mobile version is just a bit easier to handle. To be honest I never really gave LR mobile a try, but I might take a look at it in the future when I find the time
@@ThePhlogPhotography yes I think the same beacuse leg is more than just eating app it hasp many other feature to organize your images and making books and see map etc .. but when it comes to editing they’re very similar just missing some features like some masks and calibration btw LR for mobile available for PC and iPad as well .. take care
These sliders change the colors in a different way. Its hard to explain in a comment, but if you want to know more, heres a video on the calibration tool: ua-cam.com/video/IrhM5D4Qedw/v-deo.html
Why applying indiscriminate changes to the entire image when masking - the subject of this video - is to selectively address specific issues in different oration of the image?
@@ThePhlogPhotography That’s exactly my point. I wouldn’t apply generic changes to a photo but rather focus on masking areas. Definitely a personal preference and not a mandatory rule

Christian, sincere thanks for another incredible video, you are without a doubt one of the best Lr educators on UA-cam. Please keep up the great work.
Thank you very, very much!

Beautiful video , u made tough work look easy .
Great job indeed 👍 Color range and luminance masks have no secret for you 🙂 Thanks sharing, very helpful thanks a lot. Very good result 👍
Great work Christian, many thanks for sharing

Great tutorial! Nice explanation how to work with masks. Thank you!
Another wonderful tutorial from you Christian. Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge and expertise with us.
Cheers
You are so easy to listen to, and your instructions are on point!! Thank you for these videos!
Thank you so much!
I'm currently learning LRC and you're videos are really good! You explain everything in a very calm and understandable way. Thank you for making them!

Excellent idea, to attach a picture. It makes it easier to practice the theory in the video. Great video!
Thank you!
The vision at the start, the Goal of the outcome of the edit-thanks
An artistic approach to using the color and luminance range masks. Thank you.
Excellent tutorial. thanks for sharing your expertise
I was looking for something new to learn in lightroom. And I found it. Many thanks!
Just great vid with all those concepts explained in a very simple way ! Thank you so much
Again a very interesting tutorial. Cleared many if and buts about luminosity masking. Thanks 👍
Thats great to hear, thank you!
Christian, this masking video is well crafted and informative. Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
This was a very helpful video. Well explained. Thank you.
Another amazing video Christian. Sincere thanks.
Great tutorial, Christian! Thank you.
Thank you!
An excellent tutorial...thank you. Helps me take another step up.
I learned so much about adjusting masks. Thanks so much.
perfect editing! thank you
This guy is absolute gold😊
Thank you Christian for the valuable lesson.

What is the difference between adding saturation for blue in calibration versus saturation in blue under color mix?
