Where did the Range Mask option go?

Question

Hey where did the Range Mask option go, where you could select, luminance, color or depth? It used to be at  the bottom of all the masking tools. I want to mask off the luminance of a linear gradient like this guys shows in his video: Fast forward to 11 minutes 30 seconds to see what I mean. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K61jUqy3mzM

Oh, OK, I misunderstood. It sounds like what you are looking for is the Intersect option. What is shown in the demo below:

1. Starting from a linear gradient mask already applied…

2. Click the … menu for the existing mask component, and choose Intersect Mask With > Luminance Range.

3. Set up the Luminance Range mask, dragging across tones in the image that are within the range you want.

4. When you preview the mask overlay by hovering over the mask, you see that the linear gradient mask is now constrained to the luminance range mask.

A shortcut is to hold down the Option key when the first mask is selected; that changes the Add/Subtract buttons to Intersect so that you can just click that instead of opening the two menus.

The video is an old version of LrC. It sounds like you want to "Intersect" a Luminance Range on a Gradient/Radial Mask-

1) Create your Gradient/Radial Mask

2) Click on the three dots icon [...] on the Gradient Mask layer

3) Choose [Intersect mask with]

4) Select [Luminance Range]

5) Adjust the Luminance slider for wanted range ( eg shadows) and expand feathering if wanted.

6) If there are unwanted areas of the image still being influenced by the mask- you can select the Gradient mask layer and click the [Subtract] button to brush away those unwanted areas.
