I will have to confess, I do not use Adobe Lightroom to any place close to its complete possible. On this video, Nigel Danson walks via a lesser-known instrument this is now a staple in his panorama pictures.

I’ve a protracted historical past with Adobe merchandise, essentially Photoshop, however the intensity of each and every piece of device has grown so huge it is tricky for somebody — regardless of their revel in — to have a whole working out of each and every side. Even if Lightroom is not rather at the degree of Photoshop, it has had such a lot added to it within the remaining 10 years that I’ve no doubt misplaced observe of most of the new additions.

One space I admittedly don’t use all that a lot is mask. I do not shoot a large number of panorama pictures, so the heavy-lifting with my post-processing workflow is finished through Photoshop. Covering a uncooked document and making use of edits to it’s after all preferable to doing the similar to a JPEG, however I in the past discovered it too tricky to do to the usual I sought after, within Lightroom.

With this intersecting mask serve as, possibly I would possibly revisit how a lot of my workflow is in Photoshop. If you are a panorama photographer, this system turns out extremely helpful, specifically with the make a choice sky characteristic being as sturdy as it’s in the latest variations of Lightroom.

Do you utilize the intersecting mask instrument in Lightroom?
