    It's probably the most important tool in my processing bag of tricks

    The car shot is quite art-ful

    I quite like both shots; nicely done! Good on for the extra learning.

    I agree with MA here - layers and masks/selections are crucial tools to understand.

    For those that don't know what this is...in a nutshell, using these tools allows you to make local adjustments (darkening, lightening, sharpening, increasing/decreasing saturation, colour balance, extractions etc.) in a very precise way.

    LR3 is not working with layers and masks, or actually its working but you can't select them separately.
