Combine, refine and copy masks
Build a selection from shapes and ranges, then control its edge.

00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:09.800
Start with a broad radial selection
Several shapes can share one local correction.

00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:16.600
Show coverage before combining
You need to see the selection, not just the outlines.

00:00:16.600 --> 00:00:23.400
Open Shapes & overlay
The shape icons here add to the active local.

00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:30.200
Add a second radial
Add includes areas covered by either shape.

00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:36.200
Place the second shape
Here the two ellipses overlap.

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:42.200
Intersect keeps only the overlap
Shape order matters when you build a selection.

00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:48.200
Subtract protects the second shape
It removes that shape from the earlier coverage.

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:54.200
Exclude removes the shared area
Only the non-overlapping parts remain selected.

00:00:54.200 --> 00:01:00.200
Return to Add
Choose the operator that matches the correction you need.

00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:07.000
Ranges can narrow this geometry
A range tests pixel values inside the shapes.

00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:13.800
Reveal the individual bands
Luminance, Hue and Colour each have limits and falloff.

00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:19.800
Restrict the mask to brighter pixels
Soft falloff avoids a hard tonal cut-off.

00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:26.600
Inspect the finished edge controls
Blur softens; Refine edge follows nearby image detail.

00:01:26.600 --> 00:01:32.600
A small blur softens the finished mask
Mask contrast and brightness change coverage, not image tone.

00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:38.600
Apply a restrained correction
Check coverage, then judge the photograph.

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:45.400
Copy the complete local
Copy includes shapes, ranges and correction values.

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:52.200
Use the mask copy button
Paste on another photo with Ctrl+Shift+V; check its placement.

00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:59.000
Hide the mask display
The correction stays active while you review it.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.500
