My name is Simon d'Entremont and I'm a professional wildlife and nature photographer from Eastern Canada. This video will show you how to use the new AI subject, sky, background and object masks in Lightroom to step up your photo processing game.
I use Topaz Labs software for noise reduction, sharpening and upscaling:

Do you like my videos on image processing? What feature or issue should I cover in my next video? Always looking to make relevant content!! Thanks, Simon.
I love it
Would be interesting to hear your take on colours: to adjust or not to adjust in the context of wildlife photography!
Would you please discuss "Blend If"? Great way to increase 3D effect in images. Thank you.
I really enjoy learning more about the processing of photos in lightroom, and you do a great job!
I think I would like to know your view on removing objects in pictures, for instance the content aware fill in photoshop
Thanks Simon, your videos are the greatest!!
Color grading :)
You know its gonna be a great day when you see that Simon d'Entremont has posted a new video!
Haha too kind.
Absolutely!!!
I've gotten to the point where i like the video before i even start watching it
@@Moadh85 I've tried 'Disliking' his videos, but each time my laptop immediately crashes.
@@luzr6613 lol!
Simon, I know you've heard this many times, but it's impossible not to be impressed and say it: Your content is simply amazing. Nobody teaches like you. The way you clearly explain the topic while showing practical examples and cutting right to the chase is absolutely brilliant. And on top of that, your content is always RELEVANT. It's just such a pleasure to watch your videos. It really gives me that feeling that I'm actually learning RELEVANT information. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Cheers from SoCal!
Thanks so much!
In my opinion what makes Simon so good is he gets right to the point with no 'added fluff' and comes over as such a nice guy.
I just want to say thank you for being there for all beginner, intermediate and advanced photographers out there. You
No worries!
Very nicely done walkthrough, M. d'E. It's a fine line between maintaining the integrity of the image and ending up with something we often see - an inadvertent collage effect. Very much a case of 'a little goes a long way'. Cheers from the swamp.
Absolutely love using these features. Such a game changer and time saver as well. Love to use the Select Sky option as well for my landscape work.
Another suggestion to speed up your editing would be purchasing a pen drawing tablet. I picked up the X-Pen Deco L and it has helped reduce my editing time as well as improved my editing accuracy - especially when using brushes.
ACDSee Photo Ultimate user here. A lot of the same features are available for those that shy away from LR (at least in 2023 and newer 2024 versions) Same techniques Simon uses here are applicable. Thank you Simon!
I cant thank you enough Simon for these videos. Ive been binge watching and learning and taking notes on these. Thank you so much!
Glad you like them!
Glad to find a teacher here in YT. One we can say that really helps newbies and pro alike.
Another great video with some very useful tips. I watch all of your videos several times because your approach to post processing is so different from all the others, The videos are never too long and you explain every part of your process carefully. It has definitely changed my approach to post processing. I’ll make use of these tips on my next batch of photos. Thanks Simon, keep them coming!
Again, another succinct, and to the point, informative video. (I hope that made sense)
Definitely looking forward to the next ones!! Thanks for being such an awesome educator. Cheers!
😎👍🏻📸
As usual, tutorials with legitimate and objective explanations.Without words wasting. Thank you Simon!
Glad you like them!
honestly this change is really a game changer, instead of drawing in everything it saves so much time
Another excellent tutorial! I learn so much from you! I see these tools in LR, but it is so helpful to watch someone experienced use them, and you explain things so well.
I was trying to figure out how to do only part of an image to change highlights. You did it again. Thanks for your wonderful videos on Lightroom. So helpful to me!!!
This cleared up all my questions on LR selective editing . Thanks...also a great owl pic made so much better w some smart adjustments
I noticed while watching this video that there is another way (which I prefer) to do one thing. instead of subtracting a part of a mask, we can by pressing the Option/Alt choose where to apply the mask and then use the tool that fits what we need
Cheers
I don't use LR but PS has come a long way with masking options, as well. It's a far cry from when I began back in the days of PS7... Always a pleasure seeing how others utilize these tools for I often glean new ideas to try in my post-processing.
This kind of stuff keeps me coming back Simon! Thanks so much. I just added this to my teenage daughter’s MUST WATCH list.
I like your videos Simon they helps a lot! I'd like to point out a technique I use all the time: when creating a new mask for something like what you call 3D effect, instead of creating that mask from scratch, since I already masked my subjects and/or background, I just use the feature "copy" or "copy and invert", saving me a lot of time since I only need to do the fine tuning on the original mask only. "Copy" will bring the image adjustments over so you'll need to reset them, but "copy and invert" will reset them automatically.
Yes I love that feature too!
Seriously an amazing teacher!
Wow!!! Thanks Simon!
Selective masks were a GAME CHANGER for me, especially as I try to avoid photoshop unless I really need it. And the presets they have that preset selective adjustments like detailed hair, textured clothes, teeth whitening. It’s amazing
Another great video. Many thanks.
Simon, I’ve only watched 2 of your videos and you’ve instantly become one of my favourite content creators. Your tutorials are so simple yet useful. Cheers from Calgary!
Wow, thank you!
Hello from Winnipeg. I’m slowly getting into photography, and really appreciate your videos, and presentation style. Excellent educator. Merci!
this is an awesome video!! thank you so much!!
This was so interesting and useful, really cool to see some of your thought processes and the choices you make here!
This just saved me hours. I had one part of the image that was too bright and another that was too dark. I fixed it in minutes.
that was straight forward .. im on a giant learning curve thank you
Nice. I hadn't thought about shading different sides of the subject. You should also remind those that criticize "photo manipulation" that it has been done in the film days but in the darkroom.
Never apologize for using post processing … it’s your art! At photo club meetings I often hear photographer’s proudly say “I didn’t do anything to this image it’s right out of the camera” and I think to myself “yes, and it looks like it too”! Even people who have been told they should shoot RAW say this … imagine what Ansel Adams’ images would have looked like if he had not manipulated his images in the darkroom 😢
@@larrycitra300 Agreed 100%
I'm new to photography and I've been taking photos of barns and silos (the ones you find on a farm). I do this on the silos and it definitely adds more dimension. 👍
These features are great and this video is very "inexperienced-friendly". I would add that, instead of using a brush with feather for making that 3D effect on selected parts of the photo, it is better to choose "Intersect mask with" and choose a linear gradient filter from left to right or vice versa. It gives you more control of the feather effect.
You love bonus tips, so here it is: If you hold shift as you deploy the linear gradient, it straightens it up (either vertically or horizontally)!
Great tip!
Highly interesting and useful, as always - many thanks!
Thank you so much Simon,for your helpful information on Lightroom, I always learn so much from watching your videos. You’re a great teacher. Keep up the good work.
My pleasure!
A very concise demonstration, well explained.
Thank you for this am going to give it a try!
Very nice example, thank you!
Great edit Simon!
C'est toi le meilleur. Bravo!
Very useful editing tips for a light room user. Thank you very much for adding some resourceful contents.
This is gold! Thank you so much for sharing these tips!!!
You're so welcome!
Outstanding tutorial!
Your teaching is superb! Thanks for taking me along!
I'm so glad!
A big thank you Simon 👍
Never knew that editing photos could be so fun and addicting. I have so much to learn so thanks for these simple yet helpful videos!
Happy to help!
Amazing techniques... Great video...
I'm always waiting for your new video. 💚
Yay! Thank you!
I learned a lot more from this video than just a new Lightroom feature!
My favourite videos of the week. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
I now feel the need to go back and edit older photos. Can't help but wonder if some older ignored photos could be brought to life using these methods. Another very helpful video as usual.
Yes, absolutely
Love your channel! It's so binge-able!
Glad you enjoy it!
So glad this feature is coming to Capture One soon!
Thanks, Simon. Another great video, so helpful and relevant to my photography. Love how you explain all the steps!
Glad it was helpful!
Love it!
Nice tutorial! Thanks! 👍
Beautiful shot and owl!
Great tutorial, thank you Simon.
My pleasure!
Great video, thank you!
Beautiful. I’ve used these features a little. Now I’ll be better able to really use them well.
Wonderful presentation ! 🦉
Many thanks
Mr Simon this is ancredible video ♥
this is awesome anything to speed up workflow is 👍 + end result is epic
Brilliant !
oh boy im cramming in the info now , so easy to follow and understand from an adhd mind thanks simon
Thank you, I learn something new every time I watch your clips.
Glad to help
This is an excellent tutorial! Thank you for this step-by-step editing process. I don’t do a ton of bird photography, by this is certainly a game changer for when I do. Merci beaucoup!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent video, many thanks for demonstrating, will put these to use on some of the church landscapes I took a few weeks ago. Thankyou
Great Video. Thank you.
I love so many of your videos but I think I could actually make a suggestion for once. While making your mask I notice when you were making certain ones a second time, you did them manually. Where in my mind I would have just duplicated the owl mask and the post mask I already had, rather than having to make them again to speed up my workflow. Thanks for the wonderful video as usual! I’m sure you did this specifically for learning purposes in the video though anyway and probably would just duplicate in your normal workflow. Can’t wait for the next video!!
Thank you. Great video. Just a note. Instead of selecting the Owl, twice, when creating the mask, you can just duplicate the selection you already had the first time.
Superb end result. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
This is amazing! Learned a lot from you.
Awesome, thank you!
Simon this is killer!!!!!
Very comprehensive video. Thank you Simon, it was nice and easy to follow.
Very welcome
wow! I love your videos. You always explain things so I'm able to understand! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Found your channel with this video. Absolutely love it! 🔥
Glad you enjoy it!
Lots to try...thanks for the pointers.
Have fun!
Wonderful information Simon, thank you!
My pleasure!
Thanks Simon!
You could also just invert the background to get the subject in this case. FYI
Another great video! With the hurricane approach your area stay safe!
Thank you! Will do!
Great video, thanks from Western Canada
Thanks for watching!
Very helpful video.. thank you very much...
Great video and awesome editing!
Thanks for the visit
Great video Simon. Thank You
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks, Simon!
Very helpful! Probably the best thing that I will learn today.
Great to hear!
This was very very good. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Yes I do, thank you for the tips, you have explained this very well
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so MUCH!👍🏻📷
Welcome!
Thinking of you up there! I hope Lee doesn't do too much damage.
This video is so helpful!
I'm so glad!
I'm New to your channel and I love it. Keep up the awesome work!
Welcome aboard!
this is my first time watching one of your vids and i cant' believe how you and i have the same idea of processing. I was watching this vid and telling myself what i would do next on the background, the owl and the post and it's scary to see that you did the exact same thing that i was thinking. Makes me feel that I'm doing something right. Thank you for reinforcing me.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thanks for the info
Another well presented video Simon, apart from being a first class photographer your second vocation has got to be teaching as you put things across in a very easily understandable manner. Look forward to your tutorials and just watching the opening of your youtube videos make me smile,
Thanks very much!
Lightroom became best editing software now for sure. Great video :)
Amazing.
I am pure amateur and this just made my photos a little bit better in small steps. :D
Great stuff! Thank you!
Very welcome!
