Layer Masks Explained - Capture One Pro Tutorial

https://www.benrevzin.com/photo-feedback I'm offering FREE feedback on your photos! In this video we're looking at the magical power of layer masks in Capture One Pro 20. This is a HUGE differentiating factor between Capture 1 and Adobe Lightroom. Learning layers here will also help transfer that knowledge into Photoshop CC. Learn what layer masks do, how to create them, a shortcut for selecting large areas, and also creating new filled layers to adjust your color grades strength with the opacity slider.

I use layer masks to edit eyes, control just the background of my image, dodge and burn skin for portraits, and adjust rims on automotive photography.

This tutorial series for digital photography is based on my realization that many tutorials, including those I follow myself are very advanced. For instance how to use Frequency Separation or Content-Aware Fill in Photoshop CC, or how to Dodge and Burn in Capture One Pro or Lightroom Classic CC. Very few go back to the very basics to help those who are just starting out. So I decided to make this series in hopes of helping many early photographers learn the basics to editing and post processing. Earlier in 2020 I switched from Lightroom to Capture One Pro 20 as my primary editing and cataloguing software, hence the tutorials being based in Capture One 20.
