The controls in the Adjustment panels in the Develop module let you affect the color and tone of an entire photo. But sometimes, you don't want to make adjustments globally to the entire photo. You want to make corrections to a specific area of a photo. For example, you may want to lighten a face to make it stand out in a portrait or enhance the blue sky in a landscape. To make local corrections in Lightroom Classic, you can apply color and tonal adjustments using the Masking tool.

As with all other adjustments applied in the Develop module in Lightroom Classic, adjustments made using the Masking tool are non-destructive and are not permanently applied to the photo. 

หมายเหตุ:

Starting the October 2022 release of Lightroom Classic (version 12.0), you can use new AI-powered masks to automatically select people, objects, and also backgrounds with just a click.

You can also use the Mask Amount Slider to adjust several adjustment settings at once. 

Create mask

There are multiple options within Lightroom Classic to add a mask to your image. You can use Select SubjectSelect SkySelect Background, Objects, or People to automatically add a mask or use Brush, Linear GradientRadial Gradient, or Range Masks to add a mask manually.

  2. Select Masking from the tool strip of the Develop module.
