Lightroom: Masking
1 I'm gonna go in and work on her skin. 2 So I want to just soften her skin up a little bit. 3 So I'm gonna go now, 4 instead of to the editing menu, 5 I'm gonna go to the masking area. 6 And when I click on masking, 7 it gives me an option to choose the subject, 8 the sky, the background, or even people. 9 And so as I go into there, 10 it's analyzing the people right now. 11 There's obviously only one, 12 and I'm gonna zoom out all the way so that you can see her. 13 And I'm gonna click on her, 14 and see how it automatically just selects her. 15 It knows that she's a people. 16 And so click on the people 17 and it says, do you want to choose the entire person 18 or do you want to choose just their face, their body skin? 19 Do you wanna choose their eyebrows, et cetera? 20 So I can choose all of this stuff. 21 Now notice that it's making a mistake. 22 And that mistake is that when I choose body skin, 23 it's not choosing all of her shoulder, but that's okay 24 because that's not rea...
lly gonna be 25 all that problematic for us. 26 So I'm gonna choose facial skin, body skin, and lips. 27 So I'm choosing those three options, 28 and I'm going to hit Create. 29 And by the way, you could also choose clothes, 30 and it will just choose the clothes. 31 So I'm gonna hit Create. 32 It's creating a mask that has those three things in it. 33 So it's got body skin, facial skin, and lips. 34 And that makes up one major mask. 35 Now you don't need to name it, 36 but I'm gonna name it for a totally different reason. 37 So I'm gonna click on this and I'm gonna rename this, 38 and I'm gonna call it skinmask and hit Enter. 39 So now we know that that mask is for the skin. 40 And if I click on that mask, 41 I can show the overlay or not. 42 But if I don't show the overlay, 43 if I haven't done anything to the mask, 44 it's gonna show the red overlay instead. 45 And I'm gonna go into my areas here, 46 and I can choose any of these things, 47 any of the things in the light area, 48 in the color area, or down in the effects area, 49 or the details. 50 Those are the things that I can add. 51 And I want to go to effects, 52 and I want to take the texture down. 53 So I need to zoom into this again so that I can see her. 54 And I'm gonna take the texture down, see that? 55 Look at that, nice. 56 So minus 25 is pretty much perfect. 57 If you want smooth skin, 58 the best way to smooth skin 59 is to remove the texture a little bit. 60 Also, to go down to detail 61 and pull out the sharpness just a little bit. 62 And also to go into the noise reduction 63 and add a little noise reduction. 64 And then also go into the light area 65 and pull a little contrast out. 66 So those four things will give you the best skin possible 67 inside of Lightroom.

Jared Platt is the best educator when it comes to explaining how and when to use each program in the Lightroom ecosystem. He knows and explains extremely well the pros, cons, and tricks of using LrC, Lr, & LrMobile together. Most people teach each independently. Jared teaches in depth knowledge of how they interact --amazing!
