A lot of my free video tutorials are buried in “What’s New in Lightroom X.X” posts, so I’m going to start bringing them to the surface in separate posts. Up first: Range Mask is an excellent tool for isolating edits that you want to make to a particular color range or range of tones in all or part of your photo.

Learn how to use luminance and color Range Mask in my free video tutorial below. If you learn a lot from this 8-minute video, imagine how much you’ll learn from my 24-hour, 110-video,  Lightroom 5, 6 and Classic CC: The Fundamentals & Beyond video series!

Update: Depth Range Mask was added to Lightroom Classic v. 8: Watch my video tutorial on depth Range Mask at this link.
