Ok LrC v13.1. Your screenshot was a bit odd,

 

How about a full screenshot, showing a lot more.

For example (with some info included):

 

And it looks like you take screenshots via a phone or camera. See the following for how to use the computer (MACOS in this case) to accomplish that:

 

or you could use a third party screen capture utility like PicPick

 

If you can, you may want to annotate your screenshot as to add words describing what you want accomplished. Or just add those in the reply.

I think a screenshot may help describe the issue/inquiry. Can you take one and post?

Darker color: After you create the mask, move the exposure slider to the left.

After crafting a reply complete with screenshots and clicking on Post, I decided I was answering incorrectly.
