I discuss how we can use intersecting masks in Lightroom to bring in, redirect or enhance the quality of the light in your photographs. Using intersecting masks is probably one of the true art forms in Lightroom masking. The secret to these type of masks/intersections is to use subtle changes to bring in eye catching changes. These changes with intersection masks can really enhance your photograph and bring new life to an otherwise flat photograph.
