Well, it seems like months since I did a before and after in Lightroom. So, I thought I would do a before and after (With Settings) that I used on the image below.

Masking Panel
Mask 1
I selected the Sky and then intersection that mask with a Linear Gradient and applied these settings to the intersected mask
- Amount 100
- Exposure *0.45
- Contrast 70
- Highlights -100
- Shadows 100
- All other sliders set to 0
Mask 2
For my second mask I wanted to highlight just the water. So I added a Brush Mask with these settings.
- Brush 5.0
- Feather 100
- Flow 100
- Density 100
- Auto Mask selected
- Contrast 72
- Highlights -100
- Shadows 100
Mask 3
Mask 3 again was created by the brush tool and using the same brush size, feather, flow and density along with these settings.
- Temp 5
- Clarity 25
- All other sliders are set to 0
I also love how the buildings have more of a warmth colour to them.
I do hope this little tutorial will encourage you to playing around with masks and the features that are available. And don’t forget, you can always intersect your masks, with a variety of tools at your disposal.
The masking panel is far more advanced than it ever was in Lightroom. And there is plenty of literature to read on how to use the masking panel.
