Blend If.. Noise Reduction and Sharpening in Photoshop 

Thanks for this video. I realise that I was underestimating the power and possibilities of blend if.

Excellent Tutorial - I have been avoiding the Blend-If sliders - now I have a much better understanding! Thanks!!

Old, but still good. Excellent trick !

An outstanding technique, will definitely use it in my shots. thanks a ton for your generosity and sharing

I too have just come across your tutorials. I agree with Remo excellently explained and inspiring. I too will be back for more. Thank you.

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

Great work Blake, thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to trying it - I'll have the tutorial running on a loop!

Thanks for lthe GREAT info of using the Blend-if for Noise control. The best info ever seen on online !!!

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

Thank you for sharing this info. It will really help improve my photos. Great Job!!

seen these techniques I n other tuts, but yours was easiest to understand 👍👍

Excellent technique explained really well. Thanks

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

You are bloody good!!!

Thank you Blake. Really you can make any plugging in Photoshop. Kind Regards.

Great idea for targeted effect, 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?

This is insanely EPIC! Wow.... thank you so much!

That’s freaking awesome dude

Thank you very much Blake.

BRILLIANT

Gracias por compartir . Saludos

Great tutorial , thnx for sharing.

awesome tutorial

thanks it's such a amazing tutorial :D

This is a fabulous sharpening technique. Is this the latest on this process - or have you developed a new sharpening process since 2015?

Brilliant, 10x!

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!!!!!!

Thanks

Great video good job mate

thank you my friend

Great learning..

Hi Blake. Is this action still available for download? Cheers!

excellent

Where is the PS action?

Blake, are the actions still available somewhere? The dropbox link is no longer valid

Thanks very much, how do you learn all this

The actions are no longer at the link

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 :)

Blend If or Bust.

ok, so you are Mr Nick !

So how does one handle noise in the mid tones?

So would you want to use both of these actions on the same image or no?

I only could see default actions in PS how did you get the other actions?

The single down vote comes from Blake's ex-girlfriend from Sophomore year in high school. She is still mad about the break up. Maybe call her.

Dang dude, talkin so fast and clickin so fast - it's like your talkin in freaking Greek! Geeze, I want to understand but holy crap! I feel like I did back in 7 grade algebra. HA!

awesome tutorial
