Good job masking out the background. The second image is a great
improvement. I'd like to see a little more separation between the black
background and the black color in their clothing. At least on my
calibrated monitor it's difficult to see the difference.

I got an photo job with some actual payment involved, doing a photo shoot with
a band. The gig they wanted me to photo was last night and I’ve spent today
sorting, culling and processing the photos selected for proofs.
I don’t have any benchmarks, but even though LR 6 was supposed to make use of
the GPU going from LR 6 on High Sierra or Mojave to LR 11 on Catalina it does
seem to feel zippier, I suspect that there are some performance improvements in
there someplace.
The map function is working again, as is facial recognition, and they
implemented the “re-scan for faces” feature that people were asking for.
The new feature is is very powerful, and even more poorly documented is the new
mask feature. They’ve replaced adjustment brushes, radial adjustments and
graded filters with a whole new way of masking, adding a “subject mask”. You
take these various masks and you can duplicate them, invert them, add them
together and subtract one from another.
My first attempt at doing something ambitious with it was going from this

to this

I sure don’t have it mastered, in my hands it’s more like a poorly balanced
cudgel than a scalpel, but it does have a lot of potential. Granted if you
know photoshop, it has had these capabilities and more for many years.
I abhor the ransomware model, but at least I do seem to get some improvements
above and beyond “It will still run on my computer” for my money.
With luck sometime within the next week, I’ll get feedback from the band
members on which photos they like and I’ll post something beyond just the
proofs from this job.
