    Description

    Post-Processing has always played an important role in photography but never has it been as advanced and full of opportunities as it is today. With the digital darkroom we’re able to completely alter the look of an image and even “create something from nothing”.

    Regardless of how heavily you manipulate your images in post-processing, there are certain techniques and tools that will help you achieve a more professional-looking result and Luminosity Masks is one of them. While the Luminosity Masks isn’t an adjustment in itself, it’s a method of selectively processing an image.

    What will you learn?
    Throughout this eBook you’ll learn what Luminosity Masks are, how and why to use them and also when to use them. I’ve included several partial workflows as well as a complete start-to-finish workflow in order to better illustrate how they will make a difference for your photography.

    By the end of this eBook you’ll have learned how to fully benefit from this powerful tool and apply it either manually or via third-party software. You’ll also learn how to create and apply several effects that can be combined with Luminosity Masks, such as blending multiple images (HDR), adding color and contrast, dodging and burning, and much more.

    Luminosity Masks may seem slightly confusing in the beginning and will take some trial and error to master but I guarantee that you’ll have an aha-moment when you realize just how useful they are. I’ve written the eBook in an easy-to-follow layout with the goal that you can implement this technique into your workflow directly after reading the book, and I’ve made sure to include everything you need to know in order to get started.

    Here's some of what you'll learn in this 150+ page eBook:

    • What Layers and Masks in Photoshop are
    • How to apply basic adjustmentes
    • What Luminosity Masks are and how to create them
    • How to use Color Range selections, Saturation Masks, Vibrance Masks and other advanced techniques
    • How to apply various techniques and effects through different types of selections
