Lightroom and "masks"
A walk in the superb Molignée valley was an opportunity for me to test the 11.0 version of Lightroom in post processing. So, for the amateurs, let's say right away that this is a major version because it introduces the notion of masks as well as tools based on artificial intelligence allowing, among other things, to automatically select the sky. And frankly it works perfectly and is a huge time saver and precision saver for anyone dealing with the drama of "white skies" without texture. In a few clicks, you darken the sky, give it texture, contrast and color. Magical!
One of the new tools also makes it possible to automatically select a subject in the photo (a person, an animal, a building that stands out from its context). Here too the result is stunning. No more backlights that darken your subject too much, they can be corrected without affecting the settings of the rest of the photo
