Hi everyone. This week Adobe released a new Lightroom update with some new features. Of those, are two that I think you’ll really want to try out. The first is a duplicate finder which is something Lightroom users have been wanting for a long time. Next, isn’t really a new feature, but they’ve improved the Select Subject masking tool, which is something just about everyone uses all the time. And in my experiments, it’s not just a little better, it’s a big improvement. Enjoy!

I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
The next level of “masking” needs to be Subject (object) extraction.
The difference: an extraction would automatically defringe the edges by subtracting away the color just outside of the object from the pixels that are partly that color and partly the subject color. The result would be a translucent pixel of the subject color. 🙂
I won’t hold my breath, but it’d sure be nice.
