2 Tricks That Will Change The Way You Edit Photos In Lightroom – Auto Masks & Range Masks Explained

Selective adjustments are a huge part of editing photos, but it’s hard to get the perfect selection area with Lightroom. Luckily, there are two amazing tools to help refine your selective adjustments called Auto Mask and Range Masks.

Auto Mask in Lightroom is a setting within the adjustment brush that helps to be more selective with where an adjustment appears. By sampling the color and exposure values in the center of the adjustment brush, Lightroom refines your selection area to stick along a certain edge. Now you won’t have any haloing effects and can make more professional-looking edits.

The range mask is another tool in Lightroom that lets you change your selection area based on the color or luminance ranges in your photo. Working with the gradient filter, radial filter, or adjustment brush, this technique is an amazing way to improve your selective adjustments in Lightroom.

Together, these two selective adjustment tricks will change the way you edit photos in Lightroom. No more spilling adjustments or spending endless time refining your mask. Now you’ll have two amazing tools to make masking in Lightroom easier than ever.
