  1. Thanks you Thomas for your very usefull and easy tips, I like luminosity mask but i can't display the adjustment window of luminosity mask on my Photoshop CC 2020, please could you explain me how could i do that ?

  2. Photoshop is exponentially better in every way than Lightroom for editing images. It's like the difference between editing in fully licensed software and its vastly crippled unpaid counterpart.

  3. I think most editing removes the honesty that photography used to exalt. Something is lost when a so called photographer spends hours polishing a turd that he could have saved by getting the exposure right in the first place.

  4. Have you tried circling areas of interest on the Lumenzia preview with the lasso tool yet? Choose , say, darks 3 > lasso around the bits that you want to change > press the curve symbol in Lumenzia and allow automatic feathering of your selection – voila – highly targeted curves mask in seconds.

  5. good job james i have been using photoshop for 32 years, there is nothing better, and yes it is involved.
    i use basic RAW editing in LR, very basic , then move to PS /CC for certain NIK plugs and Lumenzia treatment
    then i will save that image make a copy and open the copy in aurora HDR 1 image and save that, then combine the HDR with
    the original the HDR will be at about 18-23%, then check for artifacts although there shouldn't be any, and fix them in PS/cc
    then maybe create an orton effect nick page style is good, lastly output sharpen using frequency separations in PS/cc ….
    and after all that i have an average to okay image 🙂

  6. I really liked your idea of using negative de-haze to enhance fog. I just tried it on one of my recent woodland shots and it made a huge improvement. But I just did it in Lightroom, first applying it to the entire image with a slider, then brushing out the effect from the foreground tree. I'm guessing the result would be the same using Photoshop or Lightroom.

  7. Hey Thomas! I'm writing this even before I watch the video. Just going around to some of my favorite Youtube folks, letting them know how much I appreciate what they do. I know it's crazy times right now but it's always nice to just take my mind off current events and chill with the photography community. Keep up the great work and be safe! Thanks from Ontario, Canada!!

  8. Thomas, I suggest you check out Guy Gowan too. You will learn a far simpler way of using channels and curves (with a bit of selective colour) to have complete control over your imagery. Lumenzia is good, but it is a bit overkill and you aren't 100% in control of what you are doing – it's the plugin that's doing all of the work. If Greg Benz decides he no longer wants to develop Lumenzia then your editing that way ceases. Get aqcuianted with Guy Gowan and you will learn some very very good, solid, fundamental knowledge of Photoshop. You'll also discover a valuable lesson on Adobe Camera Raw…

  9. Good to see LR put into the shade. Luminosity masking in all its different varieties certainly allows for subtle and targeted adjustments with its natural feathering. I have been using the technique since I read Katrin Eismann's "Masking & Compositing" in 2005. I developed actions initially based on Tony Kyper's articles then I got his TK panel as its gave a visual representation of the selected areas plus much quicker. As CS6 was my last photoshop version I have developed new techniques to achieve the same results. I use actions (macros) in Affinity Photo to generate luminosity masks plus I utilise their Blend Range option.
    Now that I use Capture One Pro as my main editor I use their luma range tool to achieve the same result as that plus their selections based on colour ranges fulfill most of my needs.
    I know you were just demonstrating however I always use a very low flow, 5%, and build up from there as even within the same tonal range you may prefer different brightness levels.
    Its good to learn different techniques yet it still requires the eye of an artist to put them into effect. Love your work.

  10. Great stuff. In the world today it's good to know that when I'm working from home that there is a treat waiting for me when the work laptop goes off and I can't go out. Thursday is/was camera club night – you and all the others I follow on YouTube are a great substitute. Rationing videos now to have something to look forward to. I don't have either Ps or Lr but watched all the way as always educational.

  11. Not to be offensive, but how much editing is too much editing?
    For most of the pictures towards the end, light seems to be manufactured instead of captured in my opinion.

    I have always loved the side of Thomas advocating capturing as much in the camera as possible, with minimal editing. This doesn't seem like Thomas at all.

  12. Thanks Thomas, great video I will be giving Lumenzia a try. This was a really clear demo of the luminosity mask. I have watched this twice, it was so intriguing the first time that I did not notice the sneaky acoustic foam doing a 90 degree turn at 26:18 (have a word with your continuity supervisor ;-).
    Seriously, thanks for uploading!
