There’s a lot of good and bad about capturing one but a huge beef has been the inability to save masks like LR has given us for years. It’s just the ability to balance the mix perfectly. With speed masking it’s not making every hyper HDR. A concept I came up with from Elegance 4 and that anyone can create, you get all the masks on one click and then you simply adjust them a little as needed or turn them up and down. I would go so far as to say that unless the Luma tools are in a preset I rarely use them because they are more tourable than just going into Photoshop and doing a deep edit with a tool like Lumist.īut as a combo Speed Mask preset. But luma-based tools give us a different route to what is selected. The Ai tools are fast and they are great. I think that’s why most people don’t use the luma masking in Lightroom and A1. It’s not something you want to do manually in every photo. You can save all the settings and you don’t have to tinker around each time because the luma tools in Lightroom and Capture One take a lot of tinkering to get right. The power here is putting the mix of highlight and shadow management into a speed mask that runs at one time. Combining masks that effect the luma ranges together you get a delicate mix but quickly using presets. So if I change the exposure on the main edit, the masking effect changes based on how those tones move. The cool thing about a mask done with luminosity-based settings in a RAW editor is it adapts as you make other edits. So today we’re going to simplify the mask tool that’s often difficult and for that reason not used like its Ai counterparts. I call this the Magic Mask because it gives you fluid control.īut like magic, it’s hard to do right. Download the latest version ( login here) if you don’t have the preset “Xmod – HDR Magic Mask”. I included my preset of this in Natural HDR 4 and it works in Lightroom and Capture One.
