This week I’m sharing some Lightroom (and Photoshop) Masking Tips that I think everyone should know. Masking has become such an important part of my editing, that knowing all of the little ins and outs of the masking panel can really help improve the workflow and results we get. Enjoy!

Thanks for the tips! I’ve learned much from you since being introduced through your ‘Photoshop Compositing Secrets’ book. The on-image Gradient control handles are showing as expected in Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw, but not in Photoshop. Is there a hidden setting in Photoshop to turn these on? Thanks for any ideas you may have.
Hi Jim. The Gradient Tools in LR and ACR are different from the gradient tools in Photoshop.
Great presentation as normal, and greatly appreciated. Thank you
Thank you!
So interesting. Thanks so much for the tutorial.
Glad you and your family weathered the storm, Matt. Thanks so much for these great tips. I always learn something from your videos. Stay well and safe.
Really great work as usual.
But, what are those distracting light bulbs doing dancing around your head? Isn’t the background often more important than the foreground?
Have followed you for years.
And if that were present during the tutorial I may worry more about it. But if my intro really affects your learning that much… skip it or don’t look at it 😉
Boom! Problem fixed!
Great tips! Now I know where the gradient points are, keep them on.
Like you masking is one of my likes and this video has was useful.
Thank you again!
Great tips and instructional Matt!
Very good tips and instructional Matt!
thanks for the great information Matt !!! Great to hear you and your families and friends are doing good !!!
Is there any way to duplicate a mask with all settings reset on the duplicate, the same way that “duplicate and invert mask” works? Any hidden modifier key for that?
Hi Matt
I’m so glad you and all your family are safe and well
Our thoughts were with you before during and now after all that extreme weather you experienced

Great tips Matt. Thanks for making this video
Hi Matt, as always, you provided great information. Whenever you publish your small videos, I always look at them. I consider you one of the best photo editing teachers in the business.
Thanks, Matt. See you next week. Pleased you survived the hurricanes.
