I’ve been using this technique for years. The luminosity mask was my favorite add on.
Here you go! ;-)
Hi Serge, Could you possibly do an updated video using this technique with the new Lightroom Classic? The intersect tool with masking is super confusing.
Yes, I'm struggling to do the luminance range on the newer version.
Such a simple but amazing approach. I am an infrequent user of the Luminance mask in Lr, and recently switched to Capture1 which has a POWERFUL Luminance mask (its the same thing, but centre and upfront, hence convenient to use). In C1 I used it on almost ALL my Wedding pics - ~1000 images - its like a default tool to use to reduced over exposed highlights.
And now when I see you use it to dodge/ burn, it seems so simple and intuitive. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Serge! Can't wait to try this! I spend far too long painting precise brushes 😳 at first I thought you were going to do a side gradual filter with the luminance mask but I didn't realise you could do it for the brush too 😍 time saver thank you 🙏
Very nice trick : simple and elegant, exactly the Serge's style ! Thank you, I will include this is my workflow as it seems so natural.
Awesome! Happy you like it! :-)
This just blew my mind. Thank you for sharing this. I’m a fan for life.
Haha you are welcome my friend
"Dodge and burn for lazy people!" We're all looking to save time on post-processing, and this is helpful indeed. Thanks.
Hehe awesome!! So happy you liked it!
So right haha =)
I personally am not looking to save time on post-processing, because for me, that's the fun bit. Taking photos is a massive pain in the arse, but I really enjoy the editing process. If a picture takes me literally all day to get right, the immense feeling of satisfaction and pride I get at the end is just awesome. If I take a photo that's pretty much perfect straight out of camera, that really annoys me.
This is also why I bloody-mindedly refuse to use Lightroom and Photoshop, and instead use Darktable and GIMP. The fact that those two are free is a bonus, sure, but what I love about them is the incredible frustration while I'm using them, followed by the enormous satisfaction when I finish.
@@quasarsphere there are all kinds of people, I guess :) As long as you get the satisfaction out of your work, good for you.
quasarsphere 😂 i like it
You’re my favorite photography guide. I’ve been watching for two years and everything you have shown, I have used TODAY. This is extremely useful, I just want to say thank you for making such useful videos for free, I appreciate it so much. Don’t stop making quality videos my friend!
Thank you so so much!! Very appreciate it! It means a lot!
Love your videos Serge. Truly a master of photography techniques. Most unselfish. Other experts will never reveal secrets. Serge is a very generous person.
Hehe thank you so much! That’s very kind! I really appreciate it!!! ;-)
Not only is this a time saver but it allows for an almost infinite level of control. We owe you big time, Serge, for posting this awesome technique. Slainte !
Yay! Thanks Bruce :-) glad you enjoy!
I must say, that dodge and burn with luminosity mask is an awesome technique. You can always fine tune if need be, but what a great way to start. In addition, showing on a portrait was also eye opening. Thanks for all your wonderful videos!!!! Go Serge.
Excellent!! Thanks ;-)
"It's not very natural but was one of my most popular images on Instagram."
Shocking.
Great video. I'll definitely try.
Okay cool!
You sir are awesome. Thank you Serge. I’ve been watching your videos for years now.
You got me into Lightroom and going to Paris.
Thank you so much.
Oh that’s awesome thank you so much! ;-)
By far, my favorite learning video yet! Thank you for this. I am going to check your other videos now. I hope there is an updated one for LR Classic. You blew my mind on how easy it is to actually enhance a photo. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
That is the best tip I've seen in years!!!!! Thanks for passing it on.
Oh awesome! Happy you like them ;-)
Serge, and I thought I knew most of Lightroom! That was very new and useful to say the least. Thank you Serge!

Merci Serge, always useful info
I have never see that an amazing technic before. Thank you so much!!!
No problem!!! Happy you enjoy it!
One of my favourite things to do when editing some (but not all) of my own photos is to ask myself two questions:
1: What would Serge Ramelli do?
2: Alright then, so how would I do that in GIMP?
This results in me using tricks and techniques that I'd never have thought of had it not been for your videos, and getting final images that look nothing at all like what you do. This pleases me, because, much as I love your work, I don't want to be a Serge Ramelli clone. I want my stuff to be MINE. I think I'm well on the way to achieving my own style, and what I've learned from you has been absolutely invaluable. Thank you very much indeed! :)
That’s really awesome and the best compliment ever! I want you to create your own style!
Awesome tutorial! I have not use Lightroom much yet. Mostly Photoshop. Now I want to go and try this. I'm going to have to download your free tutorials and getting started with Photoshop and Lightroom. Even though I've already gotten started oh, there's a lot I have yet to learn. Thank you so much!
Haha yes just keep practicing ;-)
Brilliant Serge! Thank you. I used your 2023 xmas code and got the lot. Thank you for that as well
How cool is that! Thank you Serge for sharing this!

You are so welcome ;-) happy you like it
Great tutorial! I know these tools for years and I never thought of using them like this. This is genius! I've been wanting to do dodge and burn but I keep fighting the idea because in photoshop it's harder and i don't have a wakom for more fine strokes. Thanks
Here you go so happy it helps you
I just hope I remember this when I want to dodge and burn. Thank you.
True! Yes pretty easy! ;-)

Serge, love this technique. However with the new mask menu, I'm confused as hell. Can't seem to get the luminance dialed in properly. Could you do a quick update on this video with the new LR masking tool menu? Many thanks!
That's sick. Thanks for sharing!
No problem ! Happy you like it
Another amazing trick. Love your videos - always a big inspiration 👍📷

Amazing trick Serge, thanks for sharing brother.

I don't want to be arrogant, but especially in the early days of my photography hobby I learned a lot from your channel. However, this is another video where I am certainly learning something. Very simple and logical, but never thought about it. I will certainly apply this to my edits, if necessary 👍🏻
Awesome well very happy you like iy
Thank you for the video, it saves a lot of time! Just another quick tip for everyone and @Serge Ramelli: you don't need to create a virtual copy for before and after, just press "\"
Yes thank you!!! You are right ;-)
Wow!!!! This is great!!!!
Very helpful video! thanks!
You are so welcome!
Good trick. I used to do it in a different way, but this a very good way. Thanks for the video

Yesss after a long time something unique from my Lightoom teacher !! This is why I love this channel. Although I still miss Paris sometimes haha.

Great technique!
This is brilliant Serge!!!
Thank you very very much! I appreciate it!
Mind=blown! Sir, thank you!!
You are welcome!
I just tried this. I think it nets a pretty good result in a short time frame. Also ends up being more natural and contrasty compared to the auto result I've been getting.
Perfect! So happy it was useful!
Wow Serge, that was unexpected and powerful technique
Thanks! Yes that is a very good one!! :-)
Bro! Amazing. You have saved me so much time.
That’s really cool thanks :-)
