Targeting the dark areas for burning with blend-if is great! I love that you can used the pink overlay to check where the burning will do. A very rounded and great tutorial, thank you!

Happiness is TK Friday. Your use of the color grading tool is magic. Plus I appreciate seeing more Blend If in these edits. Thanks Dave!

What a pleasant surprise to see you working on a photo from my Colorado backpacking trip in 2013. I absolutely love the way you processed it. Thanks for the great lesson, Dave.

Marvelous video. I just came back from a month in Newfoundland where the landscape is all brown grasses and small ponds and stormy skies. This video will help me immensely. Thanks Gary

One thing about editing the name of a color grading layer (which I do often). In order to retain color grading edit capabilities, you have to keep “TK” somewhere in the layer name.

Thanks again Dave for this educational edit, I also like that you keep repeating how to use certain tools, after repeating it a few times I can remember it much more easily, also nice for newcomers. Here I found the edit a bit too strong, but you can't argue about taste, the most important thing is that we learn how to achieve a result. And for me it's getting better and better, for which thanks, Greetings Patrick

Thanks, Dave. The more I see how the blend-if option functions, the more I'm inclined to use it.

[jamesbartek]

I am soooo glad you do these TK Fridays!

[mariolombardi]

A bit late to the party, but I am so glad I did not miss this full edit! Again, another masterful educational experience by the master of editing! Agree with Stephen, I like seeing the use of the various uses of the Blend If tool, the selection tools, and reinforcing the use of the Orion Effect. Thank you very much Dave…

An alternative for setting up to dodge/burn using Blend If as a "Selection" which mirrors setting up for dodging/burning through a selection is to start by using the Create Blend If button and choosing the darks/lights using the familiar black and white preview, then shift-click the required dodge/burn option in the Multi-Mask Output section. Edit Blend If is still available to modify the chosen settings, which is the advantage over dodging/burning through a selection. Also if dodge/burn is done on a gray layer then ctrl/command-click on the Cx/Combo eyeball icon will display just the currently selected layer.

Great lesson Dave, thanks for sharing!

[dennisjones]

A superb edit and tutorial. Greatly appreciate your time, effort, and remarkable skill set.

[Sean]

Thank you, great edit, lots of new tricks

[neetataskar]

Fantastic video. Got to learn a lot. Thanks a ton.

[lewlarson]

Wow! Fun edit and a great learning experience. Thanks Dave.

[dougharder]

Very informative! Any chance for a winter sunrise TK Friday?

[guitarman]

Another great edit Dave. One thing that's bugging me though is the result you got with the gen fill to remove the rock at the beginning of the edit. There's quite a prominent vertical line on the left side of the resultant "shape", and it does look like the whole thing is just sitting on top of the background. Just my 2 cents. An easy fix by generating more results. Cheers.

Fantastic Edit, Dave. I have been using photoshop and have been using Tony's Luminosity panels but you have taken it to an extraordinary level. Hope to see you edit one of my images.

[branchau]

Very nice edit Dave; I particularly like your applications of Blend If. By the way, you clicked twice on a button in the TYK9 Multi-Mask panel, calling it a Saturation mask button. I believe the button you clicked refers to producing a Color mask. I know, your point is to highlight the fact you intend to output the mask in a Hue-Saturation adjustment layer. I'm picky today!🙂

I dont speek inglish, bat i inderstend your tutorial! Very nice!
