Lightroom Drops a Mind-Blowing Masking Update

Lightroom was recently updated and one of the key features is an update to the masking panel. It now includes a category called “Landscape” which will automatically identify up to 7 elements in a photo and automatically create a mask for any/all of them. The seven elements are sky, water, mountains, vegetation, architecture, natural ground and artificial ground. As you can see, it’s more than just landscapes. This will help me a lot with my cityscape shots, too.

Take a look at my video below and see these new masks in action, along with some additional tips and tricks for getting the most out of these.
