Thanks.  I definitely need to better learn how to use the feature.

Re: Worthwhile feature found in new lightroom

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.

Re: Worthwhile feature found in new lightroom

[Doug Brewer]

The new masking abilities in LR are in many ways superior to those in 
PS, from an efficiency standpoint, but still deeper in PS. I'm happy to 
see them since I do a fair amount of area adjustment.


Now, if they'd put the spot healing tool from PS into LR, I'd be a happy 
camper.

Re: Worthwhile feature found in new lightroom

[Stan Halpin]

I agree with Alan, your image after masking is much improved. 
I have played with the new masks a bit, mostly with the sky mask, but haven’t 
started duplicating, adding, subtracting, inverting etc. I have basically zero 
experience with photoshop so this is a whole new world for me. I appreciate the 
inspiration provided by your example.

Worthwhile feature found in new lightroom

[Larry Colen]

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.
