Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 started using this tool recently finding more & more ways bring faces out of shadow make sky bluer make signs better looking turn saturated faces "normal" some of these things previously done with burning-dodging tools are done better, even faster, with QST... as usual, must not overdue or image looks odd... 🤔 if willing, any other uses for QST?

Allan It's in Photoshop and has been around for a long long time (since CS3 I believe) - nothing revolutionary at all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is something similar in LrC but I do not think it is as comprehensive as the one in Ps. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan The Photoshop quick selection tool has been largely superseded by the far more powerful and efficient automatic selection tools such as Select Sky, Select Subject, Select Focus Area etc and Lightroom Classic now has some very similar tools to the latter. In fact Lightroom Classic is now so advanced in this regard that for many users, even relatively advanced ones, Photoshop is no longer necessary. I still use Photoshop for the various cloning options which are still superior to anything in Lightroom but I use it far less than I used to do. I still like to use the very ancient magic wand tool for tidying up selections but I never use the quick selection tool nowadays.

In addition to that I'd say that the "Select and Mask" environment in Photoshop is very helpful, superseding to me those Select Subject etc options in ACR and elsewhere, let alone the Magic Wand and the Quick Selection Tool.
