Rico Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I just stumbled on this recently. Was I the only guy here that didn't know about this feature? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSo_DuGC_a0 Now I can spend more time in the pub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Brooks Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Used automask to change the dirty brown parka of the middle guy in the front row to yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I've tried to use it, but it can be problematic at the edge of the mask. The transition from where the mask applies to where it doesn't can be quite rough, with odd little blotches. I haven't cared to chance it with QC. It might have improved since v5.7 and of course I might just not be very skilful with it, but I thought I'd put in a caveat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you use the method outlined in the video? Basically, make the image smaller and the brush a lot larger then click on the area you want adjusted. Then do a bit of cleanup after that.

spacecadet Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm just passing on a caveat. I tend not to watch video tutorials, but having to do that sounds like too much work for the possible return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Clemson Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I didn't know the automask could work like that so I am interested to learn something new. I'm not sure the mask feature has enough accuracy for me to want to rely on it for Alamy work, the mask spills over into areas of similar colour very easily and there is no way to fine tune the tonal range that I can see, other than by visually identifying and erasing unwanted sections, as the tutorial shows. My main reason for posting though is to say that on my venerable Lightroom v.4, the red overlay showing the mask area does not appear, or it appears sometimes and not on others, so it is difficult to see where the mask has taken effect. The mask is definitely there, as I can see if I make adjustments, but there is no red overlay. Does anybody know why this is the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
