Happiness is TK Friday. These full edits really teach how to work through the edit, finding and fixing problems in the image. When I finish watching your awesome tutorials, I next go to my own Photoshop session and experiment with the techniques you demonstrated. Thanks Dave!11
Hi again Dave, Thanks for another great video. Still getting used to these new features in the TK9 module. It's so good that you share your ideas and show us how they work. Looking forward, as always, to the next one.
Hello Dave! Another wonderful TK9 Friday. I would love to see you tackle a real complex edit using the panel to its full potential. It would be a great tutorial and learning experience for everyone.
Thanks for another great TK Friday Dave. My sister and her family moved to the Pacific NW from the UK, and live around 30 miles or so from Mt St Helen’s in Vancouver WA. I’ve seen the volcano when standing in their road, long before I got into photography. I now hope I can return there one day and capture an image that I can edit into something as lovely as you did.
I'd never know what to do if you didn't upload these tutorials. I'll do the step by step, and it's very helpful. Although, whenever I try this on my own images, I'm completely lost and never what to do so I refer back to these tutorials. Keep up the great work Tony. Someday, I may learn how to make TK9 useful in my workflow. It's such a learning curve, I'll keep at it. Thank you, I appreciate what you do.
My TK Gen Fill dos does not have a white brush. I used my lasso tool, and it worked amazingly well. Thank you for all your training video's Thay are suck a great help.
Another great edit Dave. Would love to see an edit where you need to need to make multiple masks other than just a sky/foreground mask. For example with a bird on a perch with its feet over the perch, you'd need a mask for the the bird itself, the perch, the background and the foreground ( in other words more complex selections) as well as the usual colour and tone adjustments to background and foreground elements like flowers/trees/grass etc. Thanks so much.
Another superb edit and TK9 educational video! Love the Soft Pop combined with the Edit Blend If feature how cool is that! Dave, when color grading what is the difference between using a blend if “Mask”and just using a blend if adjustment right on the layer. Will you not get the same result, what am I am I missing here? Thanks
This is probably one of the best end results of all the full edit videos I have watched. Truly beautiful results. I have really liked using the blend if tools in TK9. It is still somewhat of a murky mystery(note the alliteration of the "m's")🙂 as to when to use luminosity vs blend if??? Might be a possible future video. All the best Dave.
I think you can get similar results either way but blend if has one major advantage: You can tweak it after the fact using the interface, while modifying a luminosity mask requires painting on it or regenerating it.
@@scottjohnson7248 I think you are probably right. So far I seem to favor using blend if. In his videos, Dave uses both? Mostly simply curious.....great stuff either way...
Another great tutorial Dave that is helping me enormously learn the power of the TK9 panels. One question how do you get your number keys to change by 10 when you want to change opacity , when I press my 3 key I get an opacity value of 3 not 30 and have to type 30 if I want 30 ?
1st Method: For opacity using the number keys as shortcuts, make sure you are not using a tool (Brush Tool) that can be changed with number shortcuts. You can use the Hand Tool (Shortcut H) and then the number keys will work as shortcuts for Layer Opacity. 1 for 10%, 2 for 20%, 0 for 100%. 2nd Method: Hover your cursor to the left of the Opacity Percentages (hover the cursor over opacity) hold down the Shift Key and as you drag the cursor to the right or the left it will change in increments of 10. If you hold the ALT or Option key down and drag to the left or right the opacity will change in increments of 1. Note: These incremental methods won't work if you use the Drop Down Layer Opacity slider...
Dave, to remove the fence you chose 60% in the TK Gen Fill plugin. How did you come to choose that percentage? By trial and error/fiddling around with different percentages until you got a result you liked? I just used Photoshop's Remove tool and it gave me quite a satisfactory result, right off the bat.
Thanks Dave for another amazing lesson. I really like the Tilda (~) tip. I do have one question for you. In step 7 of the notes, you use HSL to bring up your weaker colours (Canadian spelling). In older lessons, you used the histogram to help you isolate the weaker colours. You are no longer doing that. Instead, you settle on Vibrance 4. Can you explain why? Just wondering. Regards, Sam.
great photo...I was 10 when St. Helens blew her top. I lived in Washington State until I was 19....This is such a great mountain and wonderful video
Thank you Dave! I've already watched it twice.
Awesome tutorial as usual! The tilda tip is a welcomed surprise!
Nice work, I like the result of the editing. Thanks!!!
Another wonderful tutorial and exposure to an exciting range of new skills
Dave, excellent TK9 tutorial.
Thank you!
The Blend-If is so new and a bit scary, thanks Dave for showing several ways to use it.
Excellent Dave, it's all coming together with TK9. :)
Great job using the blend if tools. Very informative.

Thanks Dave for another great lesson. The blend if panel is perhaps my favorite part of the TK9 upgrades from TK8. Have a great weekend.
Thanks Steve, have a great weekend too.

Thanks Mario, Blend If will be very similar to a miss 3 mask. We just have so many options with TK9.
Brilliant tutorial Dave thanks do much for this!. How do I go about sending an image for you to process on one of these tutorials? Regards Andrew.

The remove tool is great and a good one to try first. My gut feeling was 60% but if that didn't work I would have to try some different values.
Gen fill panel install prompts “no compatible app”. Does this panel require PS beta?
No, it works with Photoshop 2024 and also Beta. Are you using the latest version of Photoshop? You need at least Photoshop 2024.
