How would luminosity masks help you? Even if you’re not completely sure what they are or how they’re used, you probably understand what they will help you achieve. A perfectly exposed landscape—one that’s exposed as your eye sees it—usually takes more than one exposure.

Either you compensate for shadows or you level for highlights. But what if you want no loss of detail in both. A photograph that looks just as good in its darkest foregrounds as it does in its brightest skies. For this exact situation learning how to use luminosity masks is crucial.
