Lightroom Classic: I'd like the ability to invert a mask
After spending lots of time creating a mask, I think it should be possible to create a mask out of the remaining area so that you can work on it.

a pen tool
ability to shift+click between any points to paint a straight line (not constrained to 90 degree increments)
ability to feather a mask, expand/contract or transform
Maybe the most far reaching solution to upgrading the masking function would be the ability to import paths/masks from a PS file. Can't expect LR to support all the functionality of PS masking, so let us do the work there and bring it in.

Make a mask in a small area of the photo. Desaturate globally to zero. Try to add saturation back to the mask area. Does it work?

Rob--I wasn't doubting what you were saying. I was just imagining that automask relies obviously on edges, colors, saturation etc. that could be changed globally and locally after the automask is recorded. Would that change the edge of the mask, or maybe it's all done in order so later changes have no effect.

Hello Adobe,
It would be very nice if you could add an option in Lightroom to invert a mask created with the brush tool. Example: Brush mask over a person in the background inverted so changes can be made to just the background. This would make it easier in many situations to achieve the desired effect.
Awesome, thanks!

Pun an invert mask option in the Brush panel as well. Just like the one you have in the in the radial filter panel.

Would love to see the ability in Lightroom to 'invert' a graduated filter, including one modified by the brush. Presumably an easy implementation that would allow a quick switch to work on the 'other' part of the photo. much like invert mask/selection in Photoshop.
