I promised you a video on how to use TK8 to create EDGE Masks for Halo Control. This is that video.
*****NOTE: The technique I am showing in this video is for Removing HALOS caused by SHARPENING. You would start off with an Un-Sharpened Layer and then Duplicate that layer and apply Sharpening to it. If you notice any HALOS on the Sharpened layer simply follow this technique to remove the HALOS.******** Download the image and PDF Notes and follow along with me. HAPPY EDITING...

I just finished all 76 of your tutorials. Thanks for your help, and double thanks for the PDFs. I realize the PDFs are a lot of extra work.
Great to hear!
Very useful technique! Thanks!
Another informative tutorial. Thanks Dave.
Thank you so much, Dave, excellent video!!!
Very important video, thanks so much for this one.
Thanks, Dave, super helpful video!
Thank you for this great technique! 👍
WOW thank you so much Dave. Excellent !
Dave, another awesome video!! Your efforts to create these videos along with the PDF is truly appreciated!! Keep up the awesome work!! 🙂
A bonus TK tutorial. Winner! Great technique being taught. Thanks Dave!!!
Thanks Dave. I will be using this in many of my future edits.
A massive thank you for this one Dave. Excellent work. Really, really useful. A great follow-on in the workflow after Photo AI….👍🙋🏼♂️
Great video Dave
Wonderful video once again. Much simpler and effective approach for getting rid of the halos because of sharpening. Thanks 👍
Thanks for a great video Dave its exactly what I was looking for !!!
You're welcome Rick.
Thanks Dave, this was a good one! I do lots of landscape photography here in foresty Portland Oregon. I commonly get halos around the tree lines but now I have a quicker solution thanks to you and Tony. Appreciate it!
Thanks Dave you WOWed me again!! I have several images with HALO issues. This video is going to be most helpful;!!!
Amazing trick! Thanks for sharing...
Great lesson Dave. I was one of the folks asking for this. Thanks
Thank you Steve.
Thank you so much for this. I have always struggled with halos after sharping and used to enlarge and carefully used the clone stamp to eliminate halos. This is better and easier.😃
Hello Dave, this is the best halo removal technique! Thank you so much.
Thank you immensely Dave, this is so very very useful and also the process is very easy. This is a good thing as I have a LOT of images that need halo removal. Please know that your work is much appreciated here in tropical southern Minnesota.
Awesome, thanks so much!!
Superb tutorial
Great tutorial man. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome, thanks
Thank you Dave, this is a really helpful,I will be using it a lot. Looking forward to some portrait tutorials with the TK panel. The linear profiles normally don't normally work with portraits.
Very good. Thank's for sharing. 🙂
It is very cool!
Hi, Mr. Kelly! Thanks for this tutorial. I've been waiting for this and it worthed.
Best regards from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
You're very welcome!
Another masterclass. This seems to be more effective than the clone stamp with Darker blend mode.
Hi Dave: Thanks for creating and sharing this video. This has been very helpful indeed. Keep well. Cheers, Keith
You’re welcome Keith. Happy Editing.
merci pour ces pdf associés
Fantastic technique. I'll be going thru my LRC catalog to find candidates for this technique.
Thanks Steve.
Hi Dave. Thanks for this video. I would like to ask: how do you build a panel like the one you have called TK 8 My Actions?
Thanks
Thanks!
Thank you Steve.
Thanks Dave for the info. Could you do a video how to remove color fringe on image using TK8 Actions.
Great tip and one I will definitely use. Do you still use the negative mask technique to reduce the possible halo effect of over-sharpening?
Sometimes and only if needed.
Hey Dave! This is a terrific technique, particularly using the mask calculator to define the Edge Mask. However, after completing the Mask Calculation in Step 4, and refining the edge mask in Step 5, I invert the layer mask in the Multi-Mask Panel and then apply it as a layer mask to the sharpened layer. This eliminates the need to paint away the halos, as the inverted layer mask does it for me! I can then modify the mask density or layer opacity to taste.
Good tip Ralph for when you want to apply halo reduction to the entire image.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Is it true, that the edge mask comprises also parts of the trees, which will get totaly black? Ralphs method avoid this.
Danke!
Thanks so much Werner. It is greatly appreciated.
Thanks ever so much, Dave, for the video and for the pdf (I love it). Very, very handy !!!. Off topic, any news of a new version of TK panel?. It is gorgeous right now but, if I remember right, Tony announced a new version about this time last year
Not yet!
Great very useful. When in the editing process do you recommend to do this? Just after sharpening or at the very end?
This was the initial Sharpening. I do this first because the original RAW Files are a bit soft. I also do output sharpening at the end and this will work for that too.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly thanks again David.
Merci.
Hi Dave, thanks for your videos...would using Darken instead of Normal for brush blending help?
Not really Antonio. I tested it and it is the same.
I thought you already tried!😀
Hi Dave, thank you for this special white edge tutorial, I have a question the background image should not have a white edge for it to work? Thank you for spending a lot of time explaining TK8
That is correct. You are revealing the original Background Layer (without a white edge) when you add the Edge Mask to to Sharpened Layer above it. The Layer above the Background is the Sharpened Layer with the halos. You will only be revealing the Background Layer showing thru the edge mask. If the Background Layer had a white edge this wouldn't work.
Thank you
Really helpful video Dave but what is the sequence of steps using TK9 as I cannot get it to work ? Having created mu Edge mask I havew to exit out to get my lights 2 luminosity mask but in doing so the edge mask disappears as I appear to delete it when trying to get to the next step ?
Not sure what’s going on I will have to check it out.
Great technique but for me I can see the chromatic aberration coming through @200% zoom on edges in some areas. Did you correct this background layer in your example? I did this in my version with ACR
I did remove chromatic aberrations in Lightroom. There is an action in TK8 to remove chromatic aberrations. Lightroom is great for CA removal but sometimes it misses an area.
Top! TK Panel 9 should come with Fixing Halos button 🚀
Forget the PDF: just share the action 😂
It's not quite that easy. Dave showed expanding the Edge mask using a radius of "1.5". However, that's not always the correct number. It actually depends on the width of your halo. You can use the double arrows at the top of the mask-making interface to look at the image to makes sure you've expanded the edge mask so that it fully encompasses the bothersome halo. Then, there's also the task of modifying the Lights-2 mask to give the best selection. This adjustment will vary from image to image also. These things could be programmed into an action, but you'd lose the ability to toggle back and forth between the image and the mask, which can be very helpful in making the best mask.

#TkSpecialEdition #Tk8Multimaskpanel #EdgeMasks
Dave, I've been working on this for many hours and can't get it to work on my photos. They are TIF files. It works great on the one that you provided. What was the second layer before you applied Photo AI? Since Photo AI doesn't name layers I know that started out as something else. I've tried a copy of the background , a new layer, layer 0, locked, unlocked, etc. My edge mask looks good, it's selected yet the black paint does nothing. I have followed your steps meticulously and even zoomed in at each step to make sure my settings are the same as yours. It's probably something simple but I just can't see what is wrong. Happy holidays.
The Second layer is a copy of the first layer sent into Photo Ai. I renamed the layer to Photo Ai. Are you sure you have halos on the top layer? If there are no halo's you wouldn't see a change when you painted.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Kindest thanks, Dave. I will get it straight.
Dave, I think that this picture was one of the last on TK friday.
I linked it at the end of the video in case someone didn't see the full edit. It was a few TK Friday back.
i think to paint the halos away is also possible witout this edge mask. Whats the advantage of the edge mask.
The edge mask targets only the edges for protection. There are other methods you can also use. In Photoshop there are many ways of doing the same thing. It really comes down to what you are most comfortable using.
Wohoo first comment can’t wait to watch
Hi Dave , any idea why the technique does not work on all images , I have one in particular where following all the steps creates a nice edge mask but the final painting the halo through the selection has no effect ?
Make sure you have an unsharpened image below the sharpened image or this won't work .
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Thanks Dave didint appreciate that requirement but often in my editing it is the fiinal clarity or shapening that introduces the halo so would it be best to create a stamp layer at the top of my stack and then duplicate that to leave me an unsharpened layer ?
@@scdawes Yes that will work.
Hey Dave, Going wrong some where printed instructions, but when using "white mask/Black brush" all i get is clear area just like using the erasure help would be appreciated.
Fred if you are using the image I provided as a download, does it have 2 layers? If it doesn't then re-download the image again. When I initially put the image in my Drop Box folder I only had the sharpened layer (I uploaded the wrong file by mistake). One of my viewers caught my error right away. I replaced that file with the correct file which has both layers at around 8:20 am, 20 minutes after I posted the video. I think this might be your problem.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly yes it had two layers but I switched of the background layer, but I then switched it on and everything worked OK, Thanks for your help.
Great news Fred. Thanks for getting back to me.
Doesn’t this technique substitute a black halo for a white one? It sure looks effective though on my small phone screen. Thanks for all your videos.
Sharpening does add edge contrast so there is dark edge and a light edge. It's the light edge that sticks out like a sore thumb.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly yes. I suppose throttling back on opacity while “painting” would reduce the issue if it was a problem.
The way Dave did this in the video, he used black paint to conceal the light halo on the current layer, which then reveals whatever was present in the layers below. Painting black on a mask does not create a "black" halo. It just conceals the halo that is present on that layer. But it's even more precise than this. There is indeed a dark halo on all those edges that Dave painted. It's on the opposite side of the edge that was painted, but it doesn't "stick out like a sore thumb" the way the light halo does. And Dave's painting didn't touch the dark halo. It left it intact. That's because he intersected an edge mask (that encompasses both the light and dark halos) with a modified Lights-2 mask that only shows the light halos. The resulting mask, therefore, reveals light halos only and allows just the light halos to be concealed on the the layer that contains them.
@@TonyKuyper I thought the bottom layer had the halos. I’ll rewatch on a larger screen. Thanks! I just finished editing most of 3,000 Australia/New Zealand photos. Just love TK8!
Dave, I don't see where the notes are, can't find show more...!

HI Dave, The file in the download link only has one layer and does not have the Topaz Ai layer so it does not work as described as there is not a pre sharpening layer
Peter you are right and I thank you for pointing this out to me. I fixed the Link and it should work now. It will have 2 layers. The Original with a Photo Ai Layer. Let me know if it is correct for you now. Here is the Drop Box Link: www.dropbox.com/s/4nlqv896olq8s3v/RayD-0945-Photo%20Ai%20Layer.tif?dl=0
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Dave, yes that's good thank you
Thank you Peter for catching this and so early. I can't thank you enough.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly my pleasure, glad to help
Thank you Peter for catching that. I did the steps 3 times and could not get it to work. Came here to message Dave and I saw your comment. You saved some of my hair pulling.
I tried this technique on a photo that had halos around green trees with a dark mountain background. The painting made the halos substantially worse. Not sure what's happening.
Without seeing exactly what is happening it is hard to comment.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly After closer inspection of your video, I saw that you started your edit with a layer above your background, and I was starting with only the background layer. Once I created a layer above my background layer, it worked properly.
FRUSTRATED. Followed your directions, but instead of removing the halo, the brush leaves behind TRANSPARENCY. Please help, Dave. Thanks.
This technique is for removing halos from Sharpening your image. You need to have the original unsharpened layer under the Sharpened Layer. I added this to the Description of the video: The technique I am showing in this video is for Removing HALOS caused by SHARPENING. You would start off with an Un-Sharpened Layer and then Duplicate that layer and apply Sharpening to it. If you notice any HALOS on the Sharpened layer simply follow this technique to remove the HALOS.
With this technique you are revealing the layer under the sharpened "HALO" layer without the HALOS. This technique only works if you have a layer beneath the HALO layer that does not have HALOS. Sorry for the confusion...
Here is the Drop Box Link so you can try it out. It has an Un-Sharpened Layer sitting below a Sharpened Layer with HALOS: www.dropbox.com/s/4nlqv896olq8s3v/RayD-0945-Photo%20Ai%20Layer.tif?dl=0
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly OK Thanks very much Dave. I took some foggy drizzle photos yesterday in the woods with my phone and the branches showed halos equal in amount to the darker branches. Is there a solution for that?
@@srg3798 I need to think about that one. It sounds like you might need to do some cloning around those areas. Without actually seeing the image it is hard to tell without me doing some experimentation on the image. You could try selecting the branches with an Object Selection Tool and then Invert the selection and clone around the branches.This way you would protect the branches. You could put a blank pixel layer above the layer and set the Clone Stamp Tool settings to Current and Below, so you won't be cloning on the actual pixel layer. Did you shoot the image with an iPhone in ProRAW? Sometimes I notice some artifacts on my iPhone 13 Pro Max, do to the way that Apple processes the proRAW file. I think I will end up just shooting in regular RAW and skip the ProRAW in the future. When you mentioned the Halos an iPhone came to my mind.
Thanks!
Thank you so much SRG.
Thanks
Thank you Chris.
Thanks!
Thank you Ralph. Happy Editing.
