Lightroom and Photoshop have both seen major updates recently, and one of the most interesting and powerful new features in the former application is the portrait masking tool. With the power to significantly improve the precision and efficiency of your portrait edits, it is well worth taking the time to dive into the new tool, and this excellent video tutorial will show you everything you need to know.

Coming to you from Anthony Morganti, this great video tutorial will take you through the ins and outs of the new portrait masking features in Lightroom. Lightroom's masking capabilities have made some major leaps forward in the past few releases, and if you have not taken an afternoon to play with them a bit, you are definitely missing out. Not only have they made my work more efficient, they have actually improved my image quality, as they have allowed me to quickly make adjustments that simply would not have been worth the time and effort before. It has only gotten better in this new release, which allows you to easily zero in not just one specific subjects, but on specific facial features, making it quite straightforward to quickly and precisely make needed edits. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Morganti.
