Today, we’re embarking on the first part of a comprehensive editing journey using the TK9 Plugin for Photoshop. We’ll be delving deep into the intricacies of the TK9 Edit Selection. There are times when Photoshop’s selection tools may not meet our expectations. In such instances, I rely on the TK9 Edit Selection, conveniently located in the TK9 MultiMask Panel. Don’t forget to join me next TK Friday for the second part of this extensive editing tutorial.

Thanks Dave, I really enjoyed that. I am not sure I will ever be as competent. But I am learning.
This is GREAT! I've been burning and dodging masks in PS for better selections but did it without using TK9. Now that you explained there is an Edit Selection tool in the panel, it's much easier!!! Thanks for showing me a tool I never realized was available!!
Another Brilliant Video; Thanks Dave
Well, as always, there are no difficult things in photography. That's why there are tools at a photographer's disposal. It was a very informative lesson, thank you and greetings from Poland, the city of "Przemyśl Fortress".
Of all your TK videos Dave, and over time I have reviewed more than100 of them, in my view this one presents the most difficult masking challenge of the sky and foreground. You have shown very clearly how to achieve it exceptionally well. I doubt it can be done as quickly and as effectively in Photoshop without the TK9 plugin. Thank you very much and well done!
Hola Dave! Whaaaaaaat a great Tutorial! You're #1!! I was having a similar issue last week and your video really inspired me!. Well Done! As a Porteño (I was born in Buenos Aires I also live there) it was great to see a picture of my city! The not so tall building on the right is the Sheraton Hotel. It opened around 1973 and was the first foreign hotel chain to open in Argentina. The Icebraker ship is "Almirante Irizar".
PS: My name is also Marcelo and it's very common in the US to be called Marcello (like if I were Italian). Devicenzi has Italian ancestry without a doubt but his name is with just one "l".
I have learned so much from your TK Friday videos and look forward to them each week! Thanks! I have found using the levels adjustment on a mask like this can take care of much of the greys leaving less to dodge/burn/paint.
Thank you. Nice to see how you cleaned up around the buildings using the burn and dodge tools. Looking forward to next weeks edit.
TK9 really helps with those tricky selections. Awesome job Dave! Looking forward for part 2.
AMAZING! Downtown Toronto has many glass buildings and I often end up with images that present me with difficulty while creating a mask. I now have a solution to my problem. Thank you so much Dave. I am looking forward to part two of this edit session.
Hello Dave, fantastic tutorial! You presented a great solution tor those of us doing architectural photography in downtown areas where selections are often challenging.Cheers!
Hello Dave, excellent tutorial! very helpful and perfect demonstrate, looking fowar to Part Two. Thank you very much
This was a long time coming tutorial, Dave! Really fantastic! I've just finished editing a similar photo with the skyline around the Brooklyn bridge and I also had some problems separating the sky from the buildings. I managed to do it but it was not easy; your tutorial would have been perfect for me :) I think I may re-edit my photo using the edit function of the TK panel just to make sure I get the skills down for my next skyline - I have lots of them. Thank you!
Excellent session on detailed masking. Great job. This helps me solve a lot of issues I have had in the past. Great job Dave! Look forward to next week's session. 😊
Happiness is TK Friday. Wow, the editing selection techniques you demonstrated are awesome. Also glad to have a cityscape image for TK Friday. Thanks Dave!!!
Wowza Dave, this was ever so helpful. The whole video was a revelation for me. Thank You.
Dave, this is just a great refining of the mask. Loved it ❤❤❤
That was the best refining of a selection I've seen you do. That was excellent! Looking forward to PART 2..
Excellent video, I like watching you full edits but part 1 was extremely useful as I learnt a lot about how the edit selection worked. I often use edit selection and the edit mask panel, however i had never thought that we could create other selections and fill with black or white without losing the original selection. Since part 1 I have also used the pen tool and the polygonal lasso tool.
What would be useful as a video would be to repeat part 1 but using the Layer Mask Edit Panel with an applied sky layer mask
Well done Dave. The edit mask and edit selection tools are really useful in dealing with complex selections. I use them all the time.
Wow Dave, how do you keep hitting out these edits out of the park week over week? My masking will forever be more precise and my edits much improved after watching this video. I’m looking forward to Part 2!
Thanks Dave, great tutorial on editing a selection using dodge and burn. Very helpful!
Great tips on editing a selection. Thanks.
Excellent as always. It would be nice if Tony could add a short cut tool to the dodge/ burn (“X”?)so could switch back and forth easily.
Actually Tony does not need to do anything. If you have just dodge and burn tool in same tool group with same shortcut key, I think o is default, then shift+o will cycle between the tools. You will need to use the Edit Selection/Layer Mask Mode first and just select dodge and burn options to set them up with the correct range and opacity. Then the cycling will toggle and reset those values each time. Depending on things like whether or not you use mouse or tablet and if you are left/right handed you might want to look at adjusting tool keyboard short cuts to make them easier use as you go. Look at Edit/Toolbar to adjust things like this and the grouping of tools, then save a workspace with save toolbar option selected. If you have a Wacom tablet then you can program a key to do the switching while working on the tablet.
The edit selection tips were great, Dave. Thanks a lot.
Thanks again Dave for this very instructive selection work 👍
Thanks Dave!
Thanks
Brilliant! I am wondering why you didn’t use the polygonal lasso tool to run along the long edges of buildings and then fill with black.
Thanks Stuart. I would definitely experiment with any of the selection tools in Photoshop.
Hi Dave, that's some serious work! I checked the cleanliness of my white area in the mask (sky) using levels and pushing the blacks to 255. Some smudges became visible where I had missed some brush strokes. Is there any other method you might recommend to check that the areas that should be pure white or pure black don't have brush strokes in them?
In Photoshop’s MultiMask Panel, when using Edit Selection or Layer Mask Mode, ensure you’re in Mask View, not Image View. Open the Info Panel and set it to RGB. Then, hover over the image with brush tools (dodge, burn, black, white) or the lasso tool (press L) for color readings. Pure black is R 0, G 0, B 0; pure white is R 255, G 255, B 255. Alternatively, use Gray Scale: 0% K is white, 100% K is black. Readings are from the center of the brush or the tip of the lasso tool. For more accuracy, use a smaller brush or the lasso tool, as the lasso tool provides better accuracy. If the Info Panel is missing, find it in Photoshop’s Window Menu. To find either Gray Scale or RGB in the Info Panel Click on the Eyedropper Tools.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Fantastic tip, thank you!
Hi Dave. I think in this case the Plugin "Quick Mask Pro" could be very useful for a good easy and quick selection. What do you think ? Best regards from Switzerland 👋👋
Hi Dave, would using levels at the end of you sky selection mask building by increasing contrast, take care of problematic greyish areas faster?
It can help but you need to be careful not to over do.
How time consuming! there has to be an easier way to do that 😊
I wish there was, but when the auto selection tools in Photoshop don’t work this will be helpful. By the way, they mostly work.
