Edit like a Pro - Learn how to create and use Luminosity Masks for your Landscape Photography

via Skillshare

Overview

In this class, you will learn everything you need to know about luminosity masks for landscape and nature photographers. It's a complete guide about how to create them from scratch and how to use this advanced technique in Adobe Photoshop. 

I created ten different chapters about my favorite steps I like to use and which I have in my toolbox to edit landscape and nature photos professionally.

After watching this course, you will be able to understand what luminosity masks are and how to create them and, of course, use them in your workflow. You will learn how to adjust contrast and color in an advanced and precise way. 

You will also learn how to use blend modes together with luminosity masks and how you further enhance your shots with advanced dodging and burning.

In the last chapter, you will see how I process one of my favorite images from start to finish using only luminosity masks.

Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions about this advanced but fantastic topic. :)

All the sample images + my Luminosity actions are included in this class.
