P: Add Tone Curve to Masking (Local Adjustment Tools)

One function I find invaluable, that is available in Capture One but not in Lightroom, is the availability of the Curve Tool in the masking portion of the Develop Module.  Can you please add Curve Tool function within the Develop Module's Mask Tool?

 

thanks,

Ed Rudolph

    Any update on this idea?

     

    BTW it 's really puzzling to see that only few votes have been give to this idea.

    Every photographer (even amateurs)  I talk to wants to have curves in Masking .

     

    .

    Update 10/18/2022

    This feature was released in Camera Raw in the 15.0 version. 

    We anticipate this will be coming in a future release for Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop:

      The new camera raw has more tools to use with a mask, such as color adjustmens an curves. In the past the trools of CR/LRC have been exactely the same. Also all adjustment had been synchronized via xmp file. Since the last updates this is broken, and masking in LRC is not the same as in CR. It would be so fine, if the CR tools would be inserted in LRC. Is there a chance in the next LRC release?

      Adobe already confirmed that this is coming to Lightroom Classic too, but not necessarily in the next release.

      @Rikk Flohr: Photography 

       

      Applying Curves locally, via masking, tis absolute necessary in the work/workflow of every photographer.

       

      We need it and we need it desperately in Lightroom.

       

      I dare to say that you at Adobe should not wait for this idea to be upvoted more to consider it.

       

      Every photographer on the planet, amateur or pro, would have a use for curves in masking.
