- In this session I explain what and how to use an INTERSECTION mask. I also give four (4) demonstrations how to apply intersection masks to various types of photos and subject matter.
1:10 - Explanation of Intersection Masks
3:55 - Demo of landscape scene using Sky mask (primary) and color range mask (intersection)
7:51 - Demo of landscape scene using Object selection (primary) and radial gradient (intersection)
15:35 - Demo of person/portrait using radial gradient (primary) and object selection (intersection)
18:38 - Demo of wildlife scene using subject selection (primary) and brush tool (intersect).
Brilliant Mickey! I thought I knew how to use intersect. But your video here has taken me to a new level.
Thank you very much!!!
Fantastic! Glad I could help you out. I think intersection masks is like algebra. You can stare at it forever and it confounds you. Then one day you see the light and it gets as simple as pie./
The use of "What" and "Where" was very helpful. Thanks
Glad I could help you out!
I have watched several masking demos and this one finally made it click in my head. Thank you
Thank you sir. That was one of the main driving forces which drove me to produce this video. It is such a useful feature to masking and yet not everyone takes advantage of its features. So glad I could help you out.
The best explanation I have seen for the intersect tool. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! I love the intersection tool. So many things you can do if you just experiment with it a bit. Thanks for your comment!
Very well explained. One of the greatest tuts ever concerning intersecting masks. Keep up the good work 💯.
Glad it helped. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks so much.
That’s the best masking video I’ve seen. Thank you. Changed ny editing process
Wow, thanks! Glad I could help out. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks Mick! A bunch of cool techniques! Amazing how her face was revealed. 👍👍
You bet! Glad I could help out.
The very best explanation ever for Intersecting masking.
Thanks so much. Glad I could help. Thank you for the comment.
This channel is so good, you are great presenter. Clear, concise explanations of everything. So refreshing is the way you present tools in Lr. 👌👌👌👌👌
Wow, thank you! I sure do appreciate those kind words. Thank for watching and leaving a comment.
Very clear demonstration of intersecting masks! Thanks, Mickey
Thanks for watching! Thanks for the comment.
Your way of education on this topic was the best. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for the comment!
wonderful video, best I have seen on intersecting.
Wow, thank you! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment.
lol your question marks just explained how my head felt hahahahahaha thank you a lot!!! Your Mask clean up trick blew my mind! Hats off from a senior woman in Uruguay. I wish I could click LIKE more than once!

Glad it was helpful! I was trying to find the simplest explanation I could !?
Superb!

Thanks Mickey 👍👍
You are more than welcome. Thanks for the comments.
indeed it was useful to watch , learn and understand , thanks for sharing , first i thought it will one example, then i saw the other 2 examples made it sink more in my understanding , if you could do some black and white processing , those which look like from a negative , deep black and good whites .... Thanks
I will have to give that a try too. I will let you know how it turns out.
👍
Thanks
One more comment, Mickey: Instead of intersecting the horse with a brush (and painting the bright parts of the horse),
I think you could also intersect with a luminance mask defining the bright parts with the eyedropper.
That might work. But the luminance filter is very picky when it comes to different luminance values across shadows. Worth a try though.
Thank-you for this video. I use intersect all the time, but I have never seen it done using a radial gradient before. It is magical. However, it is not clear to me on the horse example, why just using the brush wouldn't have the same effect as using the brush intersected with the subject mask.
Glad it was helpful! You are correct, you could just use a brush. Just depends on what you think it needs and what tools you are most comfortable with. That is the great thing about all the tools in Lightroom, you have a wide selection of tools which compliment others or can be used in place of others. Basically what you are comfortable with as long it give you the results you were expecting.
Thanks for the comments.
That is what I had been using, the brush tool, Got to say this changes things, for me, I feel now, I will have more control over editing, a tighter more precise mask. but will depend on the image
So, I had a thought: One problem with using a radial gradient for directional light like this is that the effect is stronger toward the center of the gradient. But in reality, sunlight isn't 'tapered' like this. So, wouldn't it be better to use a brush mask with a reduced density, and then using intersecting masks to limit its scope? That way the effect won't be stronger at one end than it is at the other? (I know this is probably over-thinking, but part of my learning process involves thinking about how to reproduce in editing (as much as possible) the conditions that ideally should have been present in camera.)
No problem. I like it when people bring up ideas to make a process better. I have tried it the way you suggest and you are right, you might get a better effect in light fall off. You can also try using the linear mask instead of the radial. With linear you can better control where the light is stronger and then control the fall off by spreading out the gradient of the linear mask. Because you are using it as an intersecting mask, the effect will only apply to where the original mask was applied.
Are there ways of hiding an area, let’s say the sky. Then downloading another sky from another photo? Is this more of a photoshop question? Could you copy a mask from lightroom and use it in photoshop.
Sorry, really no way to do that yet in Lightroom. But there is a simple sky selection/ replacement tool in Photoshop. Basically works just like in Lightroom. Thanks for watching!
Instead of using an intersecting mask, why not just make a nice selection and apply directly the desired adjustement? Thank you !
They may work depending on what you are trying to do. Most of the time when I am using an intersecting mask, I need a nice gradient across the original mask. That is hard to do with just a single placement of a mask.
thank you gentleman !@@easternshorephotoinstruction
