Tonight's YouTube video... (Sunday at 7:30pm) - The Secrets of Masking in Adobe Lightroom

I will join you in the live chat for any Q&A

This week's video is a detailed demonstration showing how to use the new masking in Adobe Lightroom. We look at selecting and modifying the sky, adding to and subtracting from a mask, duplicating and inverting masks. We also look at selecting a subject and inverting the selection to modify a background.
