I FINALLY understood LUMINOSITY MASK in Photoshop! 

Thank you so much Serge for the informative tutorial and tips! Good luck!

This is great Serge! Jimmy McIntyre has a freebie plug like this, but this one is much more simplified and fast! PLUS, you don't need to blend two exposures with it to use it. Another thing I see is if you over-do an area, instead of re-doing the whole thing, just change the brush to the opposite color between black and white, and you can "un-paint" over your previous work. Definitely will be using this! Thanks!!

You can achieve this with Photoshop's Calculations and Colour Range. It's a simpified Calculations interface. Calculation under Mode does all this for complex/subtle selections.

Thank You for showing us this, I have been using Photoshop since 6 came out around 2000, there are so many new things that come out that a person cannot keep up with all of that is out there. I like what you have shown in your tutorials; your presets and tools for Lightroom. I use it in 3d render art it really make a difference in production.

It's a game changer for sure. Thank you Serge

Thank you!Merry Christmas!

Very good explanation, I am surprised that there are no natural offers for luminosity masks directly from photoshop. I will try this feature! Thanks 🙂

Thank you so much for sharing this, I can't wait to try it! :-)

If you want to really use the power of luminosity masks spend the $29. It's a steal. There is a learning curve but the power and control we get to dodge and burn, modify colors locally is amazing

WOW! Thanks

You should reduce the flow of your brush when painting. Only slowly building the effect. It’s not necessarily that you’re using the wrong mask but just that your brush strokes are too strong.

I bought quite a few which are not expensive at all. Around 50£$€.

Thank you this is great. Now, how do i get my layer white

I do not say this to correct you or anything like that. But if You really want to take luminosity masking to the next level, You should take a look at Lumenzia by Greg Benz - you can find about him here on YT. I really think Lumenzia could ad dimensions to Your allready amazing photos - just saying.

Bonsoir Serge, Dommage que tes superbes tutos ne soient plus qu'en anglais. Pourquoi ne pas faire une chaîne en français et une en anglais ? Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année à toi et tes proches.

The link with the free tutorial is not there, removed? I also think you'll reach more people when tutorials are also in English.....

Can somebody please tell me how I can get the layer white?I'm stuck already!!!!!!!

Need to slow down your tone so hyper and nothing even happening

+5, +6, +7....+++)))))

His name is pronounced as it were spelled thusly: K-eye-per, not Cue-per.
