Helpful Tips and Advice for Getting the Most From Lightroom Masks

Lightroom's masking features have become quite advanced and powerful in recent iterations, and if you have not checked them out yet, you are really missing out on some impressive features that can make your workflow easier and more efficient and even improve your image quality. This great video tutorial will show you some great tips and techniques to ensure you get the most out of the panel and walk away with realistic but impressive photos. 

Coming to you from Mark Denney, this awesome video tutorial will show you how to take advantage of some of Lightroom's newer masking features. These features have had an appreciable impact on the efficiency of my workflow, but I have also noticed a tangible improvement in my image quality due to their speed and precision. There are often edits I could make to a photo that would simply be too time-consuming to be worthwhile, particularly when I am working on a batch of several dozen. I have found that some of these edits can be accomplished in just a few seconds using the new tools, whereas they would have taken a good 10-15 minutes before. So, if you have not taken a dive into the panel yet, definitely give it a look. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Denney.
