This will provide you with an extra measure of protection from overexposure if you are shooting RAW.

Hi Artie,

Lightroom added a feature about a year ago called “range masking.” It has been available in Photoshop for quite a while. I just learned to use it and it is transformative. And I’m no power user. It is a selection tool that allows you to select part of an image based on brightness (or darkness) of tone. Or a band of tones. Is useful in landscapes to select a bright sky through a tree so I think tracing the outline of a bird would work too. It can be done in a few minutes.

Maybe you are already familiar with this technique, but if not I think it would be well worth your time to learn. Useful for selecting “hot spots” on birds too. Don’t know if it is available in Captue One.
