Flat images in Literoom may seem difficult to edit, but mastery in the masking tool can dramatically improve your final photos. Understanding masking allows you to add depth and dimensions, transforms good shots into visually impressive people.
Coming from you Christian Moharle – The Flog PhotographyThis detailed video indicates how to effectively increase flat images using lighter masting features. Möhrle begins by adjusting basic settings such as exposure, highlights, shadows and temperatures to set a solid foundation. He deliberately selects Adobe Standard profiles on Adobe color to better control the opposite levels. Reducing exposure reveals complex cloud details, and the strategic tweex for shadows and whites subtle the contrast without it. This balanced method ensures that the image remains authentic but visually attractive.
Möhrle then explains the power of linear gradients in masking. He strategically holds several linear gradients to increase specific areas of the sky, connecting deep and light areas for depth. Each shield creates on the previous one, the opposite and clarity layering to reveal the dramatic cloud texture. This careful layering technique is necessary as it creates natural looking gradients rather than harsh editing. Their process shows why masking is important to achieve professional-quality landscape editing without artificial results.
The video moves beyond the sky and in the landscape, shows how masking can also bring flat foreground in life. Möhrle again applies gradients, carefully to make the shadow position and highlights on the fields and hills to make a three -dimensional place. He uses subtraction masks to avoid unwanted adjustments, an important step to keep editing targeted and realistic. Additionally, Möhrle introduces radial gradients to produce microscopic glowing effects, providing another level nuances. These techniques emphasize the versatility of masking, showing that you can change the spirit of an image with dramatically minimal but accurate adjustment.
