Adobe Lightroom Classic Masking

Adobe has recently ramped up the capability of this already powerful editing tool by adding AI and machine learning to the Masking Tools and adding several new ways to apply a mask to an image. For many people these new tools will decrease the photographers reliance on Photoshop to apply masks and edit local areas of an image. In this class we’ll start with a review of, and changes made to, the long time masking tools such as the Linear Gradient mask, The Radial Gradient mask and the Adjustment Brush. We’ll then dive deeply into the new Masking tools, how to apply them and how to make adjustments with them. The image above has had four individual masks applied.

This class is based on and intended for Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic and not Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Please make sure you have the correct version before registering for the class.

This four hour class will be offered twice on the same day. It is NOT necessary to take both classes, they are exactly the same. You may choose from two time periods, 9am to 1pm, or 2pm to 6pm, whichever fits your schedule best.

You will need a laptop computer with Adobe Lightroom Classic installed and running.

This is an Intermediate level class and we will not be covering the basics in Lightroom Classic. Please make sure you are comfortable using Lightroom Classic. If you are not, please look into our Introduction to Lightroom Classic class before registering for this class.
