With help from AI you can create a mask to selectively adjust a complex shape such as a person (or their background).

Thanks to the updates to both versions of Lightroom you can now invert masks in a tap/click of an icon. This enables you to master complex tools quickly, such as using gradient masks to selectively darken an overexposed sky without underexposing the foreground landscape.

You can then follow step-by-step instructions that highlight the appropriate tools within Lightroom’s workspace and how and where to apply them to a photo. Tap (or click) the Learn tab and choose a tutorial such as 'Emphasise Your Subjects Using Masks'. One of Lightroom's key strengths is supporting tutorials that you can access and follow from within the app.
ADOBE LIGHTROOM AND LIGHTROOM CLASSIC HOW TO
Lightroom Classic offers links to online video tutorials that show you how to use its various modules. Lightroom also provides Adaptive (machine learning) presets to analyse a photo’s contents and then provide you with a host of one tap/click looks that should suit your shot. You can also adjust the strength of Lightroom’s presets to produce stronger or more subtle changes. There are now also presets for video footage and you can trim your video clips and edit their look within Lightroom. Upgrades have added more for videographers. Both versions of Lightroom boast over 200 Premium presets that are broken down into helpful categories such as Style: Cinematic or Subject: Landscape. Photographers can enjoy using filters or presets to adjust colours and tones in a tap or a click, but inbuilt apps often have a disappointing number – Apple’s Photos app only has a rather measly nine filters to experiment with, for example.
