SUMMARY
Adobe's August update for Lightroom Classic introduced edge and feather sliders within AI masks, enabling users to refine selection boundaries. Photographer Christian Möhrle demonstrates how these sliders effectively remove the white halo often seen along mountain ridges when masking skies. The workflow involves adjusting the edge slider to shift the mask inward and the feather slider to soften the transition, preventing hard lines. Möhrle also details landscape editing techniques including exposure adjustments, split toning, tone curves, and a clever method for matching water reflections to the sky's color grade.
