ABOUT BEN’S CLASS:
Adobe recently radically transformed Lightroom Classic’s masking capabilities. If these new tools feel a bit foreign to you, then I’ll help you figure out how to reproduce the same functionality you are used to using so you can feel comfortable once again. These new tools are much more powerful than what was available in the past and I’ll show you how to get the most out of them and go way beyond what was possible in previous versions. Once you get familiar with the core concepts, I’ll shift to sharing power-user techniques that will allow you to do many of the things that previously required Photoshop. This is a class that can recharge your excitement for using Lightroom Classic and elevate the quality of your resulting images.
