The Incredible Adobe Lightroom Tool You’re Probably Not Using 

Adobe Lightroom's most powerful yet underappreciated feature is hiding in plain sight! In this tutorial, I reveal how the Intersect masking tool can revolutionize your photo editing workflow.
While many photographers have mastered the Add and Subtract masking options, Intersect remains criminally underused. Think of it as "contains" - allowing you to create precision super-masks by combining the power of two selection types.
I'll walk you through six game-changing applications:

Subject + Linear Gradient for natural directional lighting
Luminance + Colour Range for targeted sky enhancements
Inverted Sky + Luminance for precise landscape texturing
Radial + Subject for subtle spotlight effects
Object + Linear Gradient for dramatic contrast control
Background + Colour Range for environmental details

This powerful technique works beautifully for golden hour enhancements, targeted colour adjustments, and creating natural-looking edits with surgical precision.
