You really understand color.. plus I am sitting here saying WOW ! How did you come up with this idea ??.. looking forward to the update to Lumenzia next week...
A bit unrelated to the content (which feels like you're teaching a dark magic, and I'm into it) - how did you create those chapter markers on your TH-cam video when I scrub the bottom? I've never seen that done before.
@@gregbenzphotography That I've done - this might be a new thing that TH-cam is automatically slowly rolling out when you have those links in the description. On my machine (Mac on both Chrome and Safari) it actually has split the video player into multiple sections that when you hover over, shows the titles you listed in the description. Wasn't sure if it was something fancy you did - sounds like it was just automatically added. Thanks.
Any chance you can show us how you'd edit a landscape photo in LAB mode? I know this color space only works for certain scenes so maybe a Grand Canyon or desert scene? Could it work for a fall photo scene? Thank you!!
+Susan Holt This same LAB technique would apply to any situation where you want to replace a color. Could use it on a fall color scene to change colors (such as a few remaining green trees to better match the rest).
Dan is «a God» regarding LAB. Congrats. I'm just «surprized» regarding «Lumenzia». I don't that. Is that a plug-in? Can you please tell me a bit more? Thank you! And the video is right on the spot regarding what Dan teaches!
Lumenzia is a "plug-in" (technically an "extension panel") for Photoshop that I created to make it easier to work with luminosity masks. This video is a bit out of date, as Lumenzia now offers full support for LAB (no need to use Smart Objects anymore).
Hi again, and thank you for the quick answer. I must add another question, then. Is that extension sold or is it a «freebie»? If freebie, can you provide links to it? Thank you. But anyway, the tutorial was great, despite already knowing the process!
Awesome, Greg -- You have blown my mind! Thank you for packing so much helpful information into one short tutorial.
Excellent demo.

Fabulous, thank you

You mean the links in the description or something else? If the links, just type the time stamp and TH-cam will make it a link.

Oh, interesting. Haven’t seen that. You might be part of a new feature test or rollout.

Perhaps a silly question but what colour setting do you use in Photoshop? I have mine set to ProPhoto RGB
Adobe RGB, but I've been contemplating a move to use ProPhoto RBG for my working files. Everything I send to web or printer is sRGB, of course.

mguerra79 Lumenzia is a premium panel, but I also have a free panel: gregbenzphotography.com/luminosity-masking-tutorial/
