I am currently halfway through your new masking course. It is awesome. I encourage anyone interested in masking to buy this course. Worth every penny.

Haven’t started the course yet but plan on it very soon!

Do these apply for the masking in Adobe Lightroom also?

I had the gradient masks set up as you demonstrate with circles and lines but now it just shows up as red! How do I change back to seeing the line on the linear gradient and an actual circle with dots for the radial gradient? Thank you in advance.

I’m assuming since LR and ACR are the same that your course will therefore work on ACR, since I don’t use LR?

Great info! Thanks, Brian! My radial just comes up with red blob rather than nice white lines. I am not sure why! Can anyone help?

On my Mac, the Command key does not work when trying to expand a radial gradient.🙃

Seems that this isn’t working for IPad with Magic Keyboard :(
