Time for a Lightroom Coffee Break: Sharpening with the View Mask Feature

It’s Tuesday, that must mean it’s time for a Lightroom Coffee Break, from Adobe’s own Benjamin Warde. It’s only one-minute long, but he shares a really great, somewhat hidden feature that is incredibly useful when it comes to sharpening:

Pretty sweet, right? 🙂

Thanks for stopping by, and hope to stop by tomorrow!

Best,

-Scott

P.S. Don’t forget, I’m in Dallas, Texas next week with the final stop on my Shoot Like a Pro Tour. Hope you can come out and spend the day with me.

    Fantastic tip! These kinds of targeted tips work so well for people like me who use LR often but only skim the surface of its functions. I like the very brief description of the problem… Less really is more!

    Hi Scott – Sharpening crops up again when printing or exporting, etc – It would be really nice to hear when we put the should put the punch into sharpening at what stage. For example, I ALWAYS export my jpgs at the highest level of output sharpening if for the Screen, as medium seems pretty subtle; is this the best thing or should I be cranking a little extra in using the Detail panel (which always seems a very aggressive way to sharpen)?

    Hey Scott,

    Opt (Mac) Alt (PC) when held down will give a B&W appearance to the photo with all Sharpening Sliders, which is quite helpful for sharpening an image. I use it all the time when doing sharpening.

    Thanks,

    Dennis
