Challenge: new editing Tools- Lumonisity masking

After spending a few hours researching and practicing on photos, I returned to an image that always bothered me.

I finally figured out how to use the luminosity section when masking. The change is subtle in this shot, but I am much happier with the result. Also I am practicing the detailed dodge and burn brush.

yep, this is a terrific edit! I've not figured out dodge and burn well, but I do find editing fascinating

Often it doesn't take much

@sugarmuser @elatedpixie it has been a while, but I am pretty sure this is more true to what I saw.

@koalagardens you should give it a try. I went from not knowing what to do to understanding it in a dedicated afternoon!

@joansmor right? I can now use this tool in a matter of seconds and am over 100% more confident and knowledgeable how to use the advanced editor
