So, this is edited into oblivion but I was playing around with smart masking in Lightroom. Image masking is a technique used in photo editing to separate or isolate specific areas of an image from the rest, allowing for more precise editing and manipulation. Smart masking uses AI to pick the subject, background or sky and then allows you to edit it how you'd like. It's still in early access but so far seems to work pretty sweet. I used it to brighten the exposure on the car and decrease it on the rest of the image, I also desaturated the rest of the image as well. Obviously I took this to an extreme because I wanted to see how well it worked, but thought this would be a cool thing to share. I find that a lot of pictures the sky is washed out, especially if taken with my phone. This feature would allow people to quickly fix the sky in images with very little time/skill needed
