    LRC slows when multiple masks open

    Thanks for responding Paul. In LRC 12.5. As I edit an image and decide to add masks to that image; once I get to about 5 masks added the sixth and additional masks are slow to process. For example a radial gradiant mask is slow to resize, slow to redraw the red overlay, etc... I'm wondering if...

    LRC slows when multiple masks open

    If I'm editing a TIFF or DNG (about 280mb), and have multiple masks open at once, the system slows and takes time processing the new mask. Is this a CPU, RAM or Video RAM issue? here is the system info; Lightroom Classic version: 12.5 [ 202308091523-68a7abd6 ] License: Creative Cloud Language...

    Best Tool To Achieve Smooth Transition from Light to Dark

    I'm giving this a go using the radial gradient instead if the linear gradient. Seems to provide something like the effect I'm wanting. Will need to keep experimenting, no single process will work for every image as the lighting varies, but this is a good dtart where the lighting is even across...

    Best Tool To Achieve Smooth Transition from Light to Dark

    Thank you both. I'm doing this however I am hoping there may be a way to have a more subtle transition. An issue I have is around a birds claws, so rather than trying to keep just the claws in the subject mask, keep some of the branch as well, then transition the brightness of the branch to fade...

    Best Tool To Achieve Smooth Transition from Light to Dark

    Attached image used the subject mask to highlight the bird and inverted that mask to darken the background. The highlighted section of the image also includes the branch upon which the bird sits. What is the best way to gradually darken the branch along it's length, moving away from the bird, so...

    Topaz AI v1.5 Nikon HE* RAW and Exported DNG

    Thanks Rob, sorry I wasn’t clear. DNG files from Topaz previously would have the full suite of basic editing options in LRC as you would see if editing a RAW File in LRC. The latest iteration of TPAI DNG files can be read by LRC But LRC shows a limited set of tools in Basic, eg no Highlights...

    Topaz AI v1.5 Nikon HE* RAW and Exported DNG

    I dont believe this is an Adbobe issue but posting for info regarding how LRC is interpreting the DNG. I have imported into the latest interation of Topaz AI a Nikon Z9 HE* RAW file and exported back to LRC a DNG. LRC provides a limited suite of editing tools for the DNG, with no access to...

    Help With Removing Reflection From Skin

    Thanks Johan I've been using the masks for some time now so I think I have a good grasp on how they work. There may not be enough difference berween the area I'm masking and the adjacent area for the tool to ID what to subtract. Usually there is a distinct difference (ie a branch, bird etc...

    Help With Removing Reflection From Skin

    thanks for responding. Unfortunately nothing happens. When I brush the highlighted section to subtract it from the background mask it doesnt get removed. I end up with the brush marks in the final image (????)

    Help With Removing Reflection From Skin

    The attached image the baby's head has a reflection from the window on the right side of her head. I would like to remove it, then using masks underexpose the background, leaving Mum and daughter for me to edit. The highligh appears in the background mask. I've tried cloning and subtracting from...

    Subject Mask - Subtract leaves strange spots

    Hi Victoria, thank you for responding The bird was very noisy. Auto mask was checked and yes I was using the subtract brush So whenever I'm using a brush it is a good idea to uncheck Auto Mask? What does Auto Mask do please? Unchecking the Auto Mask box resolved the issue :) Many thanks

    Subject Mask - Subtract leaves strange spots

    This image was processed in LRC 12.2 subject mask applied with subtract mask adjustment applied. Where I have subtracted from the subject mask there are spots of gold evident Never seen this before in past versions (Excuse the noise in the second image - prior to cleaning it up).
