Digging deep into the Shadows ! - Adobe Lightroom Advanced Masking

In this video, I will show you how you can dig deep into your shadows to recover detail using Adobe Lightroom advanced masking, with some additional perspective correction and a little bit of work in Photoshop, as I cannot resist a little bit of Generative Fill :-)

A masterclass in editing - Cheers Jamie!

Was really pleased to see this, having recently returned from Amsterdam. Henri Willig has several colourful shops there. We visited one for a cheese and beer tasting and of course, brought some cheeses home. Another useful tutorial thanks Jamie.

The way you light the photograph really gives it pop and depth and brings it to life.

When recovering similar detailing in interior work, such as this shop, I found moving the WHITE slider to the right in addition to the SHADOWS and EXPOSURE sliders "brightens" the details and contrast. I thoroughly enjoy your work and presentation.

Не перестаю удивляться. Как из ничего, Вы делаете конфетку. ЗДОРОВО!

More great tips for selectively improving photos. I'm really getting into these now with LR thanks to you Jamie. I never realised Lightroom was so flexible! Keep up the good work, thank you.

Outstanding post work, Jamie, as always! Many thanks for the great advice. Slainte !

Thanks for sharing your Mastery around Photoshop tools. Very entertaining.

Lots of lessons here. I normally do Denoise near the very beginning, but will have to consider using it as you have here in the future.

Great video Jamie. Happy new Year to you. Look forward to lots of videos from you this year.

[timothymoore]

Excellent! I learn so much every time.

[tobeetwo]

Great tutorial, must review a few more times...

[derekllloyd]

This was an interesting and educational video, however why do you not bracket to get the exposure inside the shop?

[erichsnijder]

Nice one again.

But a little but cruel to remove the top of the building ;)
It's an important piece of the original building.
Alkmaar is also very popular for there cheese.

Another excellent video Jaimie. Appreciate the insight in properly illuminating inside the cheese shop.

Also, wish I could make the London workshop, but I’ll be attending a wedding in France. I’ll look forward to hearing about the autumn workshops. Appreciate your great videos, I continue to learn a lot.  

Lastly, appreciate you putting the gear you use on your website. Very helpful for perspective. I would be curious if you could add more specifics on your computer. I know it’s a Mac, but I’m suspecting it’s more advanced than my 2018 Intel based Mac given how fast it performs denoise and other things. If you have insight on the most appropriate set up for Lightroom & Photoshop with all the masking you use that would be helpful. You could add that to your “my gear” section. Thank You again for all you do.
