Ability to Copy and Paste Mask Adjustments and Create Mask Presets in Lightroom Classic

Question

Currently, Lightroom Classic does not allow users to copy adjustments from one specific mask and apply them to another mask (within the same photo or across other photos). Adding this feature would save a significant amount of time for users who need to apply similar adjustments to multiple masks or photos.

Additionally, the ability to create presets for masks and apply them to other photos would greatly enhance workflow efficiency. This feature would be especially useful for complex editing tasks, such as precise adjustments to exposure, color, or other specific settings.

Benefits:

Saves time when editing multiple photos.
Increases consistency and accuracy in mask adjustments.
Allows users to build a library of reusable mask presets.

Use Cases:

Applying the same brightness adjustments to specific areas across a series of photos.
Using a specific color grading mask on multiple images by applying a preset.

These features would significantly improve the workflow of both professional and amateur photographers, taking the Lightroom Classic user experience to the next level.

Copy/Paste would indeed be nice, but unless I misunderstand what you are asking, presets for masking already exist and have existed for a very long time. They are still called 'Local Adjustment Presets' and not 'Mask Presets', because they already existed before the local adjustment options were combined into the new masks. https://www.northlandscapes.com/articles/the-benefits-of-local-adjustment-presets-in-lightroom-classic

Next to this, you can of course also create masks (with their edits) with one click by saving them as a Develop preset.
