QuickMask Luminosity Masks
Creating 16 Bit Luminosity Masks with ease from within Photoshop.
QuickMask 16 Bit Luminosity Masks
In the past, the traditional way to make Luminosity Masks in Photoshop was to create and stop them as alpha channels.
Storing them as channels had one drawback as these alpha channels effectively increased the size of the document.
The new QuickMask panel now creates the luminosity masks as a layer mask which not only prevents the document size from growing out of control but allows us to use true 16 bit luminosity masks.
Compatible With Photoshop 2021 And Newer
QuickMask has been designed to work with Photoshop CC2021 and newer which incorporates the Plugin feature.
Lights - Mids- Darks Luminosity Masks
Choose from one of the Lights Mid-Tone or Darks presets to create luminosity masks based on different image luminosity values.
Clean Generated Masks
The luminosity preset buttons creates clean 16 bit masks without the need to use any additional alpha channels.
Refining The Masks
Each targeted luminosity mask can now be refined further using a separate levels adjustment layer. individual colours can be changed prior to converting to black and white.
