The Do-Over Project: Secret Beach, Oregon

Lightroom
Written By Scott Davenport
Be A Better Visual Story Teller

As I prepare for my next landscape photography workshops in Oregon, I have been revisiting photos from my first trip to the southern Oregon Coast, the stretch of coastline from Bandon, Oregon to Brookings, Oregon. The photos bring up fond memories. They are also building my excitement for the workshop, and getting to share these great locations with my fellow photographers.

There are several images that I thought deserved another look, or a fresh look. A do-over. I’ve changed as a photographer, and the processing tools have certainly changed as well.

In this final segment of The Do-Over Project, I show you a late afternoon at Secret Beach, Oregon I captured back in 2016. Then, I share the original RAW image and how I re-processed it in 2023 using Lightroom.

Lightroom’s New Feather & Edge Mask Controls Explained

Have you ever subtracted an object from a Lightroom mask, only to find a thin ridge left behind around the selection? Cleaning that up usually means reaching for the Brush tool and carefully painting along the edge.

Lightroom Classic’s new Feather and Edge controls give you a faster way to soften, expand, or contract many AI-generated masks. In this video, I’ll explain how the controls work, which masking tools support them, and where Edge is already saving me cleanup time.

Use What Lightroom’s AI Landscape Mask Leaves Behind

What happens when Lightroom’s AI landscape masking doesn’t recognize the subject you want to edit? Sometimes, the missing selection is exactly what you need.

In this video, I combine Lightroom’s vegetation and mountain masks with inversion, subtraction, and a radial gradient to isolate the architecture at Machu Picchu. The result adds depth to the scene and guides attention without requiring painstaking brushwork.

A Better Way to Add a Vignette to Black and White Photos

A vignette can help guide the viewer toward your subject, but lowering exposure around the edges of a black and white photo can quickly bury important shadow detail.

In this quick tutorial, I’ll show you a more controlled approach using a radial gradient and the Whites or Highlights slider. You’ll still get that visual nudge toward the subject without making already-dark areas disappear.

Embrace Constraints and Find the Photograph That Is There

What do you do when the weather is dull, the surf is uninteresting, and a dead battery takes away one of the tools you normally rely on?

You can spend the outing wishing conditions were different—or let those constraints narrow your choices and point you toward another photograph. In this video, I share how I adapted during a recent seascape outing and why limitations can sometimes give your photography clearer direction.

When Lightroom Distraction Removal Is Too Aggressive
When Lightroom Distraction Removal Is Too Aggressive

Lightroom may correctly find every person in a photograph and still make a mess when it tries to remove them. That’s what happened with this image from Machu Picchu—the AI rebuilt so much of the scene that walkways and structures no longer made sense.

The better approach was to keep the removals that worked, then break the difficult areas into smaller, more targeted pieces. The AI still does the heavy lifting, but you give it a more manageable problem to solve.

How to Fade an Adjustment with Intersect in ON1 Photo RAW

What if your mask selects the right subject, but you don’t want the adjustment applied evenly across all of it?

In this tutorial, I combine an AI mask with a gradient using Intersect mode in ON1 Photo RAW. The result keeps the adjustment confined to the mountains while letting its strength fade naturally across the scene.
