Want to instantly add depth, texture, and interest to your landscape photos in Lightroom—WITHOUT relying on presets or AI? In this video, you’ll learn how to paint with light using Lightroom’s masking panel, a powerful technique that enhances the natural highlights in your image, creating a more immersive and dynamic composition.
Many photographers struggle to bring their raw files to life, often ending up with dull, flat images that don’t capture the magic they saw in the field. This is where light painting changes everything. You’ll see why a simple white balance adjustment isn’t enough—and how a tailored light painting mask can add selective, intentional highlights that transform your photo from ordinary to captivating.
