I have used it. I find the Clone tool is the best, providing you adjust the opacity to suit. Otherwise I get frustrated with the other two and turn to Neo to do the job, though there I also use the Cloning tool as well, as the new version is not as good as the older version. I use it to clean up the edges in fine art photography or remove unwanted items which I can’t remove when making the image. On the other hand, ON1 Photo Raw’s is superb!

thank you for the free presets
I only use LRC, PS and the Topaz apps
what I still miss in Lightroom is the possibility, when you apply grain to your photo, to omit or reduce it on the eyes of the portrait

Another helpful video. I love your honest, to the point presentation with no gimmicks. Cheers

I would love to have the people masks with editing. That is so kind.
Thank you!

Hi, thank you for this video. As far as I can tell, presets can only be applied globally and there isn't a way to apply a preset to a masked area. I know that masks can be saved in presets, but if I mask off a portion of a photo, say with the linear gradient, and want to apply an existing preset only to the masked area it cannot be done. The preset is applied globally. Do you agree?

Hi Peter,
I have a picture with 3 people on it. The mask tool works on all 3 people simultaneous. Is it possible to split this up for each person separately?

Hi… I receive a email with info and the link. Thank you. Looking forward to trying them.
