PoC = Piece of Crap? ;-)

But you could safely stop there I think. That Lr mask pinhole effect is often present in surfaces that aren't fairly uniform. Between the pinholes and poorly defined edges I've just given up attempting to use the auto-mask feature. I always use the mask with the flow set down to about 20, adjust the feathering and size to suit the geometry of the work area, then brush multiple strokes to build-up the mask. Generally I work with feathering at 100 and avoid getting too close to the edge of the object. In most images where you are keeping the effect subtle, the mask doesn't need to be perfectly accurate. If I need a precise mask, like a for cutout, I use Photoshop tools. Lr just won't cut it.
