Thanks. That's really nice. A lot of my noise reduction focuses on skies, and it's great to have such a focused tool to just affect the areas where there is visible noise.
may 25 - thanks Blake, i have gone through this video several times and taken notes and am at a point where i finally get it - i am still going through working out the ZS express - will let you know how that goes when i get my brain wrapped around it...d
Excellent tutorial, just came upon your channel, this is the first tut I've seen. Excellently explained. my compliments. Subbed and will be coming back for more. Top class information. Thanks
Hi, It's one of the best techniques I've ever seen. One question: In these actions "reduce noise and sharpening" , is it necessary to make adjustments in the "layer style / underline layer?
I have! But they are in my Zone System Express 5 panel. I have a new wicked technique that I don't let out unless you are in the course 😁 some things have to be a secret 🤣
f64 Academy so how do I find out about that?? Is there a link or something. Seriously - this is best sharpening I have tried so if there is something better than this - well I have to know about it!
how do you use noise reduction and sharpening together? I assume you noise blend if and then sharpen blend if both at the end of your workflow. I am new to Photoshop and I am having problems doing my noise reduction/sharpening. Your tutorial is awesome and seems to be the piece I am missing!!! just need to know how to use your 2 techniques together so I can have that eureka moment. Thanks again for the great info!!!!!!
Hi there? very interesting video, I was just thinking what if we work with Luminosity masks? Doesn't it select also the different "Lights or darks?"..... hmmm, just thinking out loud :) Hi pass is another thing :)
Yes, they are very different! However, you could use a Luminosity Mask with Blend If. The thing about Blend If is that it changes based on what is underneath it where a Luminosity Mask is a carbon copy or snapshot of the luminance that you took at the time. I did a whole video about this here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5HTIoPfg1iA.html
+SciTk I make a ton of Actions so you will see a rather long list there. You can download these Actions here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6yeg_kD1Dsc.html
