Luminosity Masking

Advanced Tools & Techniques

Once you have a solid understanding of both global and more localized adjustments, it is time to dig into some of On1 Photo RAW 2019’s more Advanced tools. In this video, I will edit two images, leveraging everything we have covered so far while also mixing in the use of luminosity masks, advanced layer blending, creative use of noise reduction and much more.

Luminosity Masks and Portraits

So we already talked about the Science behind Luminosity Masks and how to use them with Landscapes.
This week we are going to look at how we can use Luminosity Masks with Portraits. Don’t read too far into this, in reality, it is no different than using them with Landscapes. All of the principles remain the same we just have to decide where we want the viewer to focus. Luminosity Masks can be instrumental with portraits, they are not just Landscape tools!

ON1 Workflow – Creating a Beautiful B&W Seascape

Black & White tones are great for creating a beautiful seascape photo. A powerful tool in ON1 Photo RAW 2018 allows for greater control and creativity in your photo editing. Specifically, Luminosity Masks allow you to selectively edit and apply effects to just the tones you want. If it sounds complex it REALLY isn’t. In fact, this technique will help your photo editing workflow become faster and more efficient. This works particularly well when editing landscape photos (or seascapes such as this one), and is perfect for enhancing a boring sky.

ON1 Workflow – The Shadowed Landscape

Pointing your camera into the sun can make a great photograph. However, doing so usually leaves those backlit foreground elements in deep shadow.

A Quick Introduction to ON1 Luminosity Masking

Last year I did a video for the “12 months with Matt” group on Luminosity Masking. Since then, I’ve changed a few things about the way I explain it. Plus I figured many of you could use a refresher, or maybe haven’t seen it if you’re new.
