Thanks for the tutorial, great learning experience. In the Lavender field edit, it seemed like the filer used also picked up the browns of the field between the rows and the building adding dynamic contrast to those items, although they do not appear in the mask. Am I seeing things?

Thanks so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the tips. Sometimes the color range mask can select a wide range of a specific color so if you pull back on the color range slider you can make it more specific. It shouldn’t show colors it’s not modifying in the mask view – could have been my editing there.
