This video was immensely helpful. I've been using Lumenzia for about a year to support blending, and doing a bit of tentative exploration around other applications, but watching you march through multiple selections in a single layer really clarified things. Super stuff.
Great processing! But to save some playtime I bracket 5 @ +/- 2ev for blue hour and sunrise/set when sun is visible mainly for noise in shadows even for ISO 50. You can use all or pick one frame. Also remember, if you can, your camera style setting if using neutral colors are subdued so scroll through in live view to capture the colors you see, if you can. Sometimes the original capture image will save time in getting what you desire.
Great video tutorial Greg, learning something different for me about how to use Dodge and Burn, using selective colours and HSL, thank you so much once again
Hi, I was looking at a Black and White panel by Joel T, I am guessing that is a lightly different workflow and you panel can cope with colour as well as black and white??
@@gregbenzphotography Ok, thank you, this panel may well suit me better as I do more colour than b&w but I do like the b&w architecture images from JT and JaG.
Do you usually only do one? Dodge or Burn?? Is it generally a mistake to do both?? Or doesnt that make no sense because its would be pretty much simular to just turning up the contrast? (Just had some bad results a while back... though maybe my masks were also a bit to hard)
I like your detailed explanation but at 6.34 in your video when I do the selection I am visited by marching ants, which I don't see in your video...Am I doing someting wrong or is the recent update V10 working differently ?
You can combine pretty much anything by using group masks (the “combine” button can then simplify by putting them all together). You can cmd-click on buttons like L for more options, such as to use the red channel - or use customize color vis the orange layers. Lots of options, just depends on what you need.
