If you want to learn wildlife photography, check out my video course, with 5 hours of content! journalofwildlifephotography.com/simon/

An even quicker way of doing the same thing is to intersect the mask with another mask of the same type. For example, step 1. select sky, step 2. intersect with sky - gives you the same clean mask of the sky. It also works with other types of selections, not just the sky.
-
It really feels bizarre to get this much free high quality educational content from any single place.
-
The best Photography channel here in Youtube. Full Stop
-
Just when you think you’re figuring out Lightroom and it’s tools then Simon comes along and opens your third eye on how to use Lightroom properly 😂 the best teacher on YouTube by far!
-
Until a few months ago I only watched Simon's camera settings and composition technique videos because my laptop didn't run processing software very well. Now I'm basically on a lightroom tutorial binge and these are just as good. Kudos, Simon.
-
Would be fun to see a video of you spending a day outside getting wildlife photos.
-
Dear Simon, the last two bonus tips are not tricks but epiphanies. Much better than going to church.
-
I anticipated that the title was an exaggeration, but subtracting the mask from itself really doesn't sound like it should work, and yet it does! Great tip 👏
-
Yeah, that subtract mask feature is pretty cool. I saw another guy do it a few months ago. That's really handy.
-
You’ve tapped into my favorite masking technique: intersect. A powerful tool. Great explainer as always and I love your enthusiasm for intersecting masks.
-
Love the sky minus sky trick! Similarly, treating the sky in two parts and dropping off the light on the land were simple but so effective and definitely techniques that i will use
-
good stuff. photos are a snapshot of a moment, the photo editing reflects the personal impression of that moment. it's such a fun combination of skill and art.
-
The elephant made me say "witchcraft" out loud. Bravo
-
I am from the south in the states. And I truly wish more people with think like you do. What I mean is, you giveaway secret tips freely, and yet you know that these tips will help others. The lack of selfishness in you is inspiring!! oh yeah, and your photography skills are absolutely inspiring!! Thank you, Simon
-
I’m a simple man. I see a new Simón video I click I stay all the way down to the end for the bonus tip I like
-
You cant just leave us on a cliffhanger like that Simon, may singlehandedly be the best Bonus Tip ever!
-
That information is fantastic, your knowledge of LR editing is a great source!👍🏻 PS: Congratulations on reaching 500k followers…. You have a very high quality channel 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
-
My only worry about the last tip about subtracting the sky from the sky is that this seems like a bug, which means that Adobe could fix the bug and thus end up breaking this fix. Until then, we can all enjoy this weird behavior. Thanks for bringing it up.
-
One cool trick I like to use to darken the skies is to reduce the luminance (and saturation if it doesnt look natiural) of blues. This works best when there's some clouds because the darkening only applies to the blue part of the sky similar to a polarizing filter.
