[QUOTE="karlyh, post: 4904, member: 1660"] I'm glad you brought this up. But first I gotta say, I'm guilty of not reading instructions/tutorials/help before just jumping in. I haven't had LR long, but long enough to get an idea ... very basically.. of what does what, for me. I say 'for me'.. because everyone may use one or more of the tools differently for their own reasons and the effect they're looking for. Anyway, it seems I'm using most of the tone tools.. liking the 'light' control on some night shots of London I've just came home with.. seems to work great at bringing up the lights. I try out the 'auto' options just to see what it gives me, for better or worse..... but usually go with 'as shot' instead and then tweek at will. I wanted to reply to this because I'm curious about 'masking'.. what is it? I've used the slider on this and don't see anything happening enough to figure out what it may be doing. Also 'split toning' (toning? or tuning?.. I'm not looking at it right now) I don't fool with that... not sure totally of its function. Sometimes I'll go to Lens correction but mostly out of curiousity, hardly ever applying it though. My favorite is the 'clarity' tool... I love the subtle effects of either sharper/shadowy... or soft almost oil painting effect.. The 'Effects' and 'Camera Calebration' .. not a clue. If someone knows what I may be missing out on with those... please let me know. I know I really should at least read the 'help' menu..lol [/QUOTE]
