Sir You're are Awesome, I like Your detailed instructions, and going slow enough for an old man my age of 83 can follow, and learn. Thank You do much for producing this most excellent training Video.

In a little over 20 minutes, I have learned more from you than anyone else about Masking. Thank you & I’ll be checking out your other videos and subscribing.

Terry thank you for this great and helpful video. You are a terrific teacher, explaining at just the right pace and with just the right level of detail, not assuming the viewer knows too much. Thanks again!

Terry, Thanks so much for this terrific video! I've been searching for a couple of hours for a video on masking in LR Classic for beginners, and found yours. As others have said, the pacing of your speech is so helpful for us older learners; but more importantly it's what you are actually teaching that is so helpful (like the tip on using Auto Mask to erase and define the brushed mask). Outstanding!

Hi Terry, I want to thank you so much for your videos on LRC. I have struggled for yesrs ( really !!) with LRC and i have looked at a lo5 of videos. Yours has been my pot of gold. I like how you get down to the basics on how you explain and you also have a good listening voice

I have been using Lightroom and watching Lightroom Classic tutorials from various photographers for quite some time, so I really didn't expect to learn anything new in a "beginner" tutorial. I was amazed at how many little tips and tricks I learned (like duplicate and invert, rather than manually starting from scratch) and using the auto select to control the erase function. I know that I will have to watch this again, to remind myself of some of the little tweaks you showed.

Hi Terry. I'm getting back into LIghtroom and much has changed since previous versions. Masks seemed somewhat daunting and your excellent video has helped me immensely. So grateful to you.

Fantastic tuition. I have been looking at tutorials all week and finally found this to be the most profession well paced and structured videos. Thanks so much - Ill enjoy learning with you.

[MorkyOrky]

Thank you so much. I have used Lightroom fairly often but intermittently and so I was so grateful to have my knowledge and skills refreshed. Excellent tuition

[leticiahernandez]

Thank you. I wasn't going to watch it because it was for "beginners" BUT I learned a thing or two.

[breathemovebliss]

This was helpful, concise, and the pace was perfect. Thank you so much!

[jeremyg]

Thanks for putting these videos together. As someone that's new to Lightroom and in general photography with a "real" camera, they've been super helpful

[TheHauntingFiles]

You are simply brilliant Terry Vander Heiden. Learning a lot from your tutorial.

[robsmith]

Thank you. I found that very helpful. As some one new to editing photos it was nice to see simple easy to follow steps to making your photos look better.

[susanpember]

New to Lightroom but you explained the techniques really well.

[imprintedmind]

Wonderfully explained for learning a layman like me. Thank you so much. It appears to me that masking in LrC is less complicated than PS.

[stanburman]

Terry thanks for this excellent video that really helps a Lightroom old geezer who needs to learn the newer features. This masking capability is fantastic.

Watching your instruction in the videos has finally lit up the lightbulb in my brain on how to use LRC. Thank you ever so much! I selected one of my photos similar to yours and WAHLA!!!
