Join Chris Orwig for an in-depth discussion in this video Making selective adjustments with Auto Mask, part of Photoshop CC for Photographers: Camera Raw 8 Intermediate.
In the next two movies, I want to dig a bit deeper into working with the…Adjustment Brush. And in particular, I want to look at how…we can work with what's called Auto Masking.…Which allows us to limit or conceal the adjustments to really.…Specific areas in our photographs. We'll start off with this image here.…Here you can see I've already converted the image to black and white, and added a…bit more contrast. And what I want to do next is brighten up…the road. In order to do that, we'll work with the…adjustment brush and auto masking. To select the adjustment brush press the K…key or press the on Adjustment Brush icon right here.…
Next, let's click on the Plus icon for exposure, that will reset all of the other…sliders to the default setting of zero. Next, I'm going to click and drag the…Exposure slider way up. And I'm going to do this for demo purposes.…Now the adjustment initially won't look very good, but by having an exaggerated…amount of exposure, it will really help us to understand how auto masking actually works.…
