Description
Masking in Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom is not easy. You have a whole new interface with several new mask additions and they threw out the concept of the Adjustment Tools like bad bathwater. Several items have been rearranged and the whole Add, Subtract, and Intersect Mask thingโฆ Forget about it!
Or should you forget about it?
Would that be the best idea for your workflow?
Absolutely not! The Masking area in ACR and Lightroom that came packaged with the Photoshop CC 2022 release is incredible! While there are several changes to the way we worked in the past, it is all for the better, I promise.
In this course, I will help break down some of the barriers you may have with the Masking tools. I will supply you with knowledge and some incredible presets that use the principles of my Zone System Express as their base.
After this course, not only will you be making better masks with the presets I have built, but you will know how to make your own and how to use this new feature to its maximum potential!
In this RAW Masking Course, You Will Learn:
โบ How to Install Masking Presets
โบ The Principles of the New Masking Section in ACR 14 and Lightroom
โบ Difference between and use of Luminance and Color Range Masks
โบ How the Zone System relates to Masking in ACR

Blake, you’ve done it again. We, your students, are the best-fed kids in the photo art world. Gawh (yea, I know, it’s not a word except in comic books) your mind is an engine, you share and you teach. You take coal and turn it into diamonds in weeks, you’re an alchemist without the magic and tricks and on top of that, YOU SHARE. I can’t wait to see what strikes you next! Thank you!
f64 Elite Member –
Wow. Youโre right, Blake. Iโve just finished my first run through and I did a little experimenting along the way. Now Iโm looking forward to a rerun and letting your education package sink in. Thank you very much.
f.64 Elite Member –
Thanks again for a VERY WELL DONE educational series. I probably would have not explored this new addition to ACR without you providing this course and just gone ahead with my โold, as usualโ workflow in ACR before going into PS.

Blake, thank you for jumping on this Lightroom/ACR upgrade as fast and as thoroughly as you did. You’ve done it again! — given me the basics and then the tools to apply them. The fun part is the experimenting that follows. Also, your subsequent Black Friday video (I already own all the products) was absolutely OUTSTANDING!!! I followed it with frequent interruptions while I applied your wisdom/techniques to my own images.

I love everything Blake does on education. I learn so much and this is again really something that makes working on my images so much more satisfying. As Blake says: it works on any kind of image. I’m not a landscape photographer. I photograph animals, but it works great on my images as well. Also when Blake explains something it’s not dry and technical. It’s very easy to understand and always great fun too.

As always, Blake’s courses and tools show an amazing depth of knowledge and dedication to improving our workflow and editing of our images. While I have watched many videos showing the new masking capabilities in Camera RAW and Lightroom, Blakes tools/system is light years ahead of others. I look forward to using his system and getting the most out of my RAW image before going to Photoshop. Thank you Blake for your never ending pursuit of excellence. Happy Retirement! Tim.
Wally S. (verified owner) –
Well worth the money. The videos are well done and very informative. Video 8 is extremely helpful in defining a workflow and using the presets. The program eliminated the problems I was having prior to my purchase.
Philippe C. (verified owner) –
Phenomenal. A quantum leap that really brings LR Classic 11.0.1 to the next level. Very, very useful and simple after Blake’s very clear explanations and the accompanying materials.
Charles Fleischman (verified owner) –
I’m still learning how to use ZSE-RAW effectively in Lightroom and in Photoshop. The most significant problem I had with the program was in installation. I use both Mac and PC machines and the same problem existed for both. Instead of the icons shown in the install video I only saw zipped files. After many attempts to install the files I finally dragged the zipped files and the system was installed.
I encountered difficulties with generating the masks and with the differences between working with both Lightroom and ACR. However, after mistake after mistake, persistence paid off and I am fairly confident I can mask almost any area and subject.
Rick M. (verified owner) –
Excellent system! Videos were great!
Charles Denis Simard (verified owner) –
still an excellent product with educational content, in addition it is very functional, I never tire of your products because it speeds up the processing of my photos, and makes my customers impatient to see all the versions that I can develop with this toolbox I hear here all the Pe, Zs, IpNoir ect ….
Deena S. (verified owner) –
As with all your tutorials, I found this very thorough and easy to follow. It really helped me to understand how to use the new masking feature in Lightroom/Photoshop Raw. Additionally I was helped watching how you used it in your workflow in From the Start to the Art 8
Dale Fuller (verified owner) –
I can now, by using ZSExpress Raw, target just the areas I want to work on at the RAW level. This improves my workflow so I spend less time in Photoshop getting the results I want.
Dan Fleischman (verified owner) –
I would have missed the new masking and selection section of the ACR update were it not for this education. It is a very powerful tool.

ZSE RAW unlocks the power of Lightroom new awesome masking capability and enables fine tuning of photo editing which was previously only possible using Photoshop. It is awesome and very simple to use!
Indranil Chakraborty (verified owner) –
Firstly I would like to thank Blake for this outstanding course on raw level image processing using new masking features within Camera raw in Photoshop 2022. Thew concept of having zone masking with the aid of luminosity and color range masking in raw level is simply incredible and Blake has done a fantastic job in guiding through this process step by step in a very lucid manner. I am very thankful to Blake for this course.
SEAN DE FREITAS (verified owner) –
Great addition to the already iconic IP2 profiles, ZSE7, PE and D&B Pro. All Blakes plugins and apps work brilliantly and are a complete package to intelligently and creatively enhance your end results.

I have found Z Express awesome! I can see the formidable potential, but am struggling to realise the potential for myself. I do not have as much time as I would like, so have struggled onto a plateau of learning based on your tutorial videos. I intend to go back and review the videos. But I feel there is an opportunity for you to create some further tutorial videos giving worked examples. It would be good to have a course for which I could sign up for Elite membership for a number of months over winter and learn to a new level.
Many thanks, I have enjoyed the product.

The new LR masking capabilities combined with the Zone System has raised my photos to the next level. The ability to enhance the settings at a zone/luminance level adds that extra pop. The masking and zoning system is very well explained by Blake and this is well worth the money IMHO.

Not only that the ZSEraw helps you to save time, it also opens a whole new scope of inspiration and ideas of what is possible to do within the universe of ACR/LRc by putting the new masking features into practice. And, it also works in the mobile versions, i.e. LR (the Cloud version) and on iPhones, iPads!

Gary Wong (verified owner) –
Zone System Express RAW is a game changer. I am still reviewing the videos to learn the process, but as Blake has stated, do not spend too much time on his images, get out and do yours. I can now do things, that frankly I was too lazy to learn, or the process was too difficult to make part of your editing routine. I do not own Zone System Express 7 for Photoshop, but to make all of these edits in RAW is more than I could have hoped for. Thanks Blake for taking what Adobe is giving us and making better and easier to use. Gary, Tampa
James Macaluso (verified owner) –
A game changer ! it is incorporated into my workflow permanently. Blake is an empowering teacher.
Steven Blake (verified owner) –
When I saw the training for this I was a little skeptical at first. After all I was already using Blake’s Zone System Express and Palette Effects and all the associated training. I figured armed with that I could apply those concepts to the new masks in Lightroom/ACR.
In truth I probably COULD have after a lot of trial and error, since Blake’s earlier education materials were so comprehensive. However, I decided to purchase the training and presets in order to bypass all that extra time …
So glad that I did!
The ZSE Raw presets coupled with the education has really enabled me to jump right in and apply zone system thinking at the raw level. I now find myself re-visiting older edits to see what I would have done differently at the raw stage of processing.
This was well worth it!
Thomas (verified owner) –
The explanations are clear and the presets phenomenal
Judieth Combe (verified owner) –
Sorry Blake i have not had a chance to use the software yet I am 2 weeks away from retiring and moving but it will be full steam ahead in the new year on full time photo editing learning so I will give you feedback then. I am confident it will rate 5
Ed Rogers (verified owner) –
Blake has done it again!! The Zone System Express – RAW (ZSE_RAW) course dramatically altered my workflow. Blake not only explains and demonstrates ACR Masks and Presets but offers Presets as well. I now think of ACR Masks in much the same way as Masks in Photoshop. My workflow in ACR now creates a much more natural, ready to edit image in Photoshop. I find myself creating fewer Layers and Mask in Photoshop than before resulting in smaller files. (I cannot wait to start creating my own Presets.) But do not think that ACR Masks are the same as Photoshop Masks, Blake explains and demonstrates these differences in his video โRAW Masks vs Photoshop Masksโ. For serious image processing The Zone System Express – RAW (ZSE_RAW) course is a must!
Anonymous (verified owner) –
The software presented some new topics regarding raw that have been useful in my post processing. I would recommend it to RAW and Photoshop users.

Your training is very clear and I think complete. I have yet to use all the boundless possibilities of Lr masking but have been experimenting with the system you have devised and I think it is powerful and I will be using it more and more in my photography. I have already found it useful for ‘rescuing’ some old photos that I took when I was much less knowledgeable about techniques. Great job.

Blake is a gifted teacher. His style of conveying complex terms in lay-man’s term is awesome. What stands out to me is the education behind the product. That is something valuable to me. I have to admit that sometimes I have to go back and review, because there’s so much to process. When you put it in use is where you notice progress; the nice thing about all this process is that you can go back and review as many times as necessary. I always say to my self that it’s not how fast you get to the goal, but if you’re enjoying the journey. That’s the way I look at it.

This programme works well at the moment and promises to automatically improve as time goes by. See Blake`s recent video comparing masking in Photoshop with masking in ACR. At present masking is better in Photoshop, but as it has only just been introduced in ACR, it is likely that Adobe will refine and improve the masking in ACR. Don`t let that put you off purchasing the new Express RAW as it works very well in practice in targeting specific areas for masking both tones and colour

The new mask system for local adjustments in Lightroom opens possibilities that was only reserved for Photoshop people before. First though was: Hey I’m fully familiar with all that Lightroom stuff and NO, by any chance, I don’t need any preset anymore at all. Nonetheless I could not resist to buy it for the fair discounted initial price (your charme, Blake). But I have to say now: This is a really big helper to save a lot of time and I rarely use Photoshop anymore. Highly recommended as complimentary addition to the ZoneSystemExpress panel for Photoshop !

I had been enjoying the recent Masking upgrades in Lightroom as soon as they came out. I hesitated a bit on purchasing the package but realized that it was a very reasonable investment, especially considering all the helpful information you have provided with your videos. I am really glad that I did. With the ZSE Raw you have provided me with so many more options and tools to work with. It is definitely part of my workflow already. I have been processing a few hundred images from a recent trip to the west coast of B.C. ( before the devastating floods), and with many of them I feel like I am now (re)creating an experience. Thanks for your help.

Mostly using Zones rather than Regions without contrast+ adjustment. I find the contrast adjustment quite agressive and the highlights and shadow ajustements to extreme. I have created my own presets with highlights and shadows at -50 and +50 respectively and less contrast.
Richard (verified owner) –
The ZSE Raw system does make editing easier – and forces me to consider tones, colours earlier in the workflow and on a consistent basis before further editing. In short, another good addition to the products with related education Blake provides.

Excellently crafted and presented set of Raw Zone presets, having been a film zone system user in 5×4 & medium format. I have also found the zones ones great at enhancing the shadow and highlight shoulders in scanned transparencies, along with taming any Kodachrome purple skies.

I recently came back to ACR after years away from Adobe products. The education included in Blake’s ZSE RAW made the transition very easy. Targeting tonal zones with masks within ACR is so easy with this workflow. The starting point of the photo I’m bringing into Photoshop is much farther along thanks to ZSE RAW. If you shoot in raw, this product is well worth your time.
