Great video. You left out one component--the artists eye. You have that eye and really approach your work much like a painter would. Look forward, as always, to your next video.
Hi Martin, I always enjoy and learn a lot of your videos. Contrast grading with PS following your video was great and working. But since I can work with Capture One's levels now, I think this method is much easier and less time-consuming to perform, especially with its AI masking facility. Thank you for your brilliant work.
Martin, I’m looking at the two prints I purchased from you: Potting Shed and Salt Mills Weir. Your contrast grading technique produces prints with UNSURPASSED tonal ranges. Bob
New to your channel Martin, excellent and very informative videos. I have a Rolleiflex baby for several years and wasn't sure how to use it properly. Reviewed your video and hoping to get out with it soon. Keep up the good work.
Could you tell us more about the plugins you showed at the 27:36 mark? I'd be interested in learning more about the Tri-X grain and the abilities of the other ones. Thank you.
I always enjoy your videos and the way you approach your photography through taking the picture and the process. There is a certain enthusiast and joy in your work. Can you tell how you produce that border for the B/W which looks like a mounted / matted print? Thank you so much
Thank you, I have made thousands of DR prints over the years, since a move to a smaller home I don’t really have room for one at the moment that’s why I scan my negatives, my plan is to start doing palladium contact prints at some stage, that I will show you, thanks for commenting
Thank you for sharing. Nice video as all yours. Just one idea: When applying your technique to color photos may be you can avoid color distortions stating the fusion mode to luminosity
Interesting video... I know with digital editing there are a number of ways to skin a cat (process an image) but unfortunately in this instance this isnt the best way of editing an image, as you progress, you can see in the histogram its breaking down.. the lines show that data is missing and you will end up with artifacts or banding. You started i think well because you were doing the adjustments in RAW, which you should really continue to do and that would of not caused the histogram to break down. Luminosity masking is the better way to go, and to make sure you are in 16bit mode in PS (some people do 32bit which is hdr, but i dont like that look) This gives far greater control and with a brush, or radial/gradient masks you can then finely tune the image. Levels really isnt a tool you should use.. thats something I would use once right at the end to make any tiny adjustment if needed. This is what most likely caused your histogram to break up. Tony Kyper in the US is well known in the landscape photographer world for his tool kit... you should look him up.. he even offers the basic luminosity plug in free.
Hi Martin. Just working through your workflow on a Mac, but the backslash key does show the brush mask. I have looked online for the Mac keyboard key, but can't find the answer. Do you know what it is?
@@martinhensonphotography Hi Martin. Thanks for your reply. Actually, selecting q didn't work, but I found a workaround. If I deselect the background layer with the mask selected on the duplicate layer I can see on the picture where the masking is.

What a gem of a Chanel. Learning so much from the few videos I’ve watched so far!
You’re a great mentor Martin! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏🏽

Thanks for showing your workflow.
Excellent work. This reminds me of the old darkroom work before digital. Thanks for the presentation.
Thanks , it’s as near as you can get, still working with contrast
Amazing tutorial. Many thanks!
Wonderful as always, Martin. I always look forward to what you're sharing next.

Great tutorial. I really like this method. Thanks Martin
Nice tutorial Mr.Henson, i've learned a lot about Pinhole photography from your videos.
Keep up the good work.

Interesting how things develop over time. This can all be done in Lightroom as the masking capabilities in the app is now is so much better.

Brillaint thanks Martin.
Impressive and a bit daunting.
Really enjoyed this tutorial, I now know where I went wrong, keep them coming 📷
Useful and interesting 👍

Love your photos and videos. Would love to see you make some darkroom prints.

The tutorials are based around black and white not colour, thanks

I was wondering about those upper corners..as they say, you need to get up and walk away and come back.
How about something on b&w toning and split toning.
Yea I will do a vid in that at some time , thanks
Hi Martin. Just working through your workflow on a Mac, but the backslash key does show the brush mask. I have looked online for the Mac keyboard key, but can't find the answer. Do you know what it is?
I am not entirely sure, try pressing the Q on your keyboard
Also make sure your caps are not on

You don’t say which version of photoshop one needs to be able to access these tools. ??
Any version will work fine , thanks
