This can be done through the Color Balance Adjustment Layer. However, the shadows are a little too yellow and could benefit from a colder blue. It’s a nice balance between the cold and warm tones and you want to keep this contrast. Let’s say you have a photo of a winter landscape. We’re going to look a little closer at how Luminosity Masks work in a minute but let me give you this small example: Not all adjustments look good on the entire photo. Sorry for the lesson on googling, but being aware of thousands of tutorials being around on making luminosity masks, I was little surprised you couldn't find anything.I used Luminosity Masks to target only the highlights in the sky when processing this. That said, it's obviously better to get a direct link to tutorial that someone already knows is a good one, for that I can't help you, as its years since I watched any introductory videos, but the searches above provide lots to be going on with, if no one comes up with a more definitive suggestion.

"making luminosity masks photoshop" yielded a different set of relevant links. I guess you were using the wrong search terms.

Including this one from Greg Benz, that explains how to use them along with a link to a free version of his full Lumenzia plugin. I've just googled "luminosity masks photoshop" and come across hundreds of tutorials on making luminosity masks without a plugin, as well as using plugins. Also, if anyone has a favorite YouTube link for learning them.let me know. Is there a free plug-in available that I can use to learn the gist of Luminosity Masks? My internet searching hasn't yielded anything.
