Mastering Luminosity Masks
Mastering Luminosity Masks includes step by step instructions for creating powerful image adjustments in Photoshop with luminosity masks.

Luminosity masks are one of the hottest image adjustment techniques in Adobe Photoshop. These masks allow you to selectively apply adjustments and effects that are targeted to specific tone ranges, such as shadows, highlights, and midtones. These targeted adjustments are perfectly blended into your images without requiring brushes or other selection tools. Because luminosity masks are based on your own images, they blend in perfectly every time. With Mastering Luminosity Masks, you’ll quickly learn how to create 23 different luminosity masks and use them to adjust your images in Photoshop. I’ve also included a complete set of custom Photoshop Actions that allow you to effortlessly create all the masks described in the book.
