Hi Scott, Great tip. Thank you! I was wondering if you have any sway with the Adobe folks to make a request. I would like them to make the CALIBRATION tabs in the Develop module work with the masks. They currently don’t. Specifically the BLUE saturation is of interest to me to affect skin tone.

To get to the “Effects” you have to click AGAIN to small circle on the right that says “Masking.” There is a problem however that when I go to the next image and make a mask, the Effect carries over and is next to impossible to get rid of without clicking all over. All it does is lower Texture and Clarity which can easily be done in the mask. Portrait Pro program does a better job. This effect is not ready for prime time yet. I will not be using it.

Hey Scott this is a great option and thanks for the explanation. However, in my LR when I click on Effect, I see no “Custom” at the top, so I can’t see or access the presets you mention. Any advice? I just updated LR this morning so it’s all up to date.
