As always, well presented. At about 6:44 you move the sky behind a tree in the foreground, and the 'holes' through the tree still shows the original bright sky. Such missing precision is a no go for me. The inability to differentiate between the effect of moving the highlight or shadow sliders could be a side of the same problem - missing precision of the internal masking. This basic functionality should not be dependent of later added precision of new modules. This looks like an old problem being ignored while new layers of functionality is covering it up - it's like adding lipstick to the corpse of your granny to keep receiving her pension.
Yes I did notice the holes as well. I do agree ACDSees in general should fix the imprecision of their tools. As I mentioned their tone adjustments do not even target close to the right tones. That being said given the low price of the ultimate package, and comparing this to ON1 Photo RAW's sky replacement, ACDSee's sky replacement is decent. Perhaps for better quality Luminar should do a better job or if you don't mind manual control you can't beat Photoshop or Affinity Photo.🙂
I use Affinity so I am interested in your next video
Hope to get that one up soon. Thanks for telling. Always wonder if anyone is interested!
