Making the shift... luminosity mask inquiry


Recommended Posts

Had this software recommended by one of the professional photographers I follow, and am loving the power and smoothness of it. 

 

However, my landscape photography work flow is highly dependent on the use of luminosity masks. Is there any way to easily create luminosity masks (similar to Jimmy McIntyre's photoshop action package), or do you have to manually create each one? If you do, is there any tutorials on how to create them?

 

Also, as an aside, how does one create dodge / burn layers?

dodge and burn layer is easy

 

layer > new fill layer, make it 50%grey and use blend mode soft light (of course - just one possibility) 

then use the dodge and burn tool, holder alt while using one of the two switches to the other one temporally 

 

with custom keyboard shortcuts there is also a customizable keyboard shortcut for setting the foreground color to 50% grey, this comes with the next MAS update or you can use the current beta version
