Layers&Masks

[light50]

Probably for many of you, understanding layers and masks, is something that happened long time ago. Well, not for me....I am sharing these pictures with you, hopping to get some ego brushing.....

I like the idea on the first one, and second one is my favorite.
Very well done !

Cool stuff! I like the first, it worked out quite lovely!

It's probably the most important tool in my processing bag of tricks :)

The car shot is quite art-ful :)

Consider your ego brushed. Very cool photos! :)

I willing to brush your ego too. these are nice. I have just learned how to do it as well.

I quite like both shots; nicely done! Good on for the extra learning.

I agree with MA here - layers and masks/selections are crucial tools to understand.

For those that don't know what this is...in a nutshell, using these tools allows you to make local adjustments (darkening, lightening, sharpening, increasing/decreasing saturation, colour balance, extractions etc.) in a very precise way.

Thank you everybody for the encouraging feedback and the details about layers and masks.

Good job here, light5. I like both pictures.:highfive:

LR3 is not working with layers and masks, or actually its working but you can't select them separately.
