Adobe introduced a powerful masking feature in Literoom Classic and Adobe Camera Raw, the way you edit photos.
Coming from you Matt CloscovskiThis practical video breaks the new “landscape mask” option of Literoom, which is not limited to the landscape, regardless of the name. The masking tool automatically detects and separates various elements within your images, such as artificial structures such as architecture, vegetation, water, wildlife and even roads. Closcovski shows how easily you can accommodate the color, highlights and color to each specific element. While automatic masks usually do a good job, Closcowski explains that the device is not right – mask can sometimes spread to adjacent areas – but he clearly shows that quick manual adjustments such as reducing the sky or brushing unwanted areas can accelerate your results.
The video becomes particularly useful when Closcowsky dives into specific scenarios, such as editing wildlife or complex scenes, including overlapping elements, such as an eagle set against the sky and vegetation. He walks through the process of carefully refining the mask that is not initially not correct, using direct techniques such as the color limit or subtraction through subject selection. By understanding these fine points, you can produce images that stand out without hours spent on manual masking adjustment. Instead of pushing a size-fit-all solutions, Closcowski emphasized that these masks would usually require minor manual tweaks, you would be empowered to correct each image by managing editing time.
The video also includes an easy preset, which is available through details, which simplifies the process of generating these masks, eliminates repetitive checkboxes and further its workflow. These preserve significant times during preset editing. Watch the video above for full randon from Closcowski.
