if folks this is Sean Bagshaw from
outdoor exposure photography and photo

00:00:10,540 --> 00:00:15,499
Cascadia dot com this video I'm gonna
show you some new features in the Tiki
3
00:00:15,499 --> 00:00:20,710
actions before panel that came out after
recorded the video guide to Tk actions
4
00:00:20,710 --> 00:00:25,910
and the second edition of complete guide
the luminosity masks Tony caper is
5
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:31,210
constantly innovating and improving his
luminosity mass tools even though the V
6
00:00:31,210 --> 00:00:35,989
poor panel came out in June he's already
added some fun and helpful new features
7
00:00:35,989 --> 00:00:40,890
if you currently have the v4 panel then
you have these features but you may not
8
00:00:40,890 --> 00:00:45,309
know yet this video is intended to bring
you up to speed if you'd like to
9
00:00:45,309 --> 00:00:49,039
download a free copy of this tutorial to
keep on your computer
10
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:53,519
there's a link in the text below the
video the latest update to the Tiki
11
00:00:53,519 --> 00:00:58,739
actions before panel adds two main new
features infinity mass and the zone
12
00:00:58,739 --> 00:01:04,309
picker these provide new ways of
generating custom luminosity masks let's
13
00:01:04,309 --> 00:01:08,829
start by looking at infinity masks in
Philly matthews a levels adjustment
14
00:01:08,829 --> 00:01:12,890
layer which is controlled in real time
by the users to create an infinite
15
00:01:12,890 --> 00:01:18,689
variety of either light or dark slew
Manasi masks here's how it works if you
16
00:01:18,689 --> 00:01:23,159
wanna lights luminosity mask then click
the Infiniti button next to the plus
17
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:26,260
minus lights but
18
00:01:26,260 --> 00:01:33,010
this creates a simulated luminosity mass
that can be adjusted in real time
19
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:39,310
the starting mass the UC israelites one
luminosity mask the usual white reveals
20
00:01:39,310 --> 00:01:44,440
MBLAQ conceals rules of masking apply so
the lighter areas of the mask will
21
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,990
receive more adjustment and the darker
is of the mass will receive less
22
00:01:47,990 --> 00:01:53,330
Savannah just in the levels dialogue the
mid tone slider just how restrictive
23
00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:59,500
Damascus so sliding into the rate can
create a more restrictive lights mask
24
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:05,660
from the lights one starting point
you'll progress through lights to all
25
00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:13,450
the way to lights five but in infinite
increments the black slider can be used
26
00:02:13,450 --> 00:02:21,209
to control how far the lights mask can
further into the darker tones and the
27
00:02:21,209 --> 00:02:32,530
white slider controls the boundary of
wear the mask is entirely white I make
28
00:02:32,530 --> 00:02:36,280
my mean adjustments with the midterms
later
29
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,940
but I used the black and whites letters
to increased on separation and contrast
30
00:02:42,940 --> 00:02:51,680
in the luminosity mask if you push too
far you greatly increase the contrast
31
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,819
and decrease the feathered nature of the
luminosity mask and this can lead to
32
00:02:55,819 --> 00:03:00,850
some bad looking transitions in hobbyist
banding so getting the mask you need
33
00:03:00,850 --> 00:03:10,750
using the Infiniti Maskin take some
practice looking okay in the levels
34
00:03:10,750 --> 00:03:17,340
dialogue creates the mask in the
channels panel has a new selection and
35
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:21,590
it loads the corresponding selection the
same applies with the Dark series
36
00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:27,910
infinity masks clicking the darks
infinity button opens the luminosity
37
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:34,550
mass simulation in the levels down log
and moving the midterm insider affects
38
00:03:34,550 --> 00:03:39,700
the restrictive newness of the mask and
how far offenders into a decent tones
39
00:03:39,700 --> 00:03:48,090
and the black slider opens up the
darkest owns in the mask and the white
40
00:03:48,090 --> 00:03:58,150
slider restricts the lightest towns in
the mask and clicking OK saves that mask
41
00:03:58,150 --> 00:04:02,570
as a new selection in the channels panel
and loads the selection as the active
42
00:04:02,570 --> 00:04:08,829
selection zone picker helps take the
guesswork out of finding the right off
43
00:04:08,829 --> 00:04:13,630
center mid tone mask to target specific
towns in the image when you click the
44
00:04:13,630 --> 00:04:20,709
zone picker button it opens Photoshop's
color picker tool then you can use the
45
00:04:20,709 --> 00:04:26,330
eyedropper which is activated when the
color picker opens to select a tone in
46
00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:36,150
the image that you want to adjust once
you've chosen a tonne clicking OK runs
47
00:04:36,150 --> 00:04:40,750
in action that automatically chooses
among 23 different total zones to find
48
00:04:40,750 --> 00:04:44,950
the one that most closely matches the
tone or color that you selected
49
00:04:44,950 --> 00:04:48,740
available selections are similar to the
zone in
50
00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:53,160
half soon buttons on the spectrum tab of
the v4 panel but they're a bit narrower
51
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:59,470
and more focused to pick a difference in
you can just click the button again and
52
00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:05,800
select a different tonal range in the
image and click OK and that new zone
53
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,410
will be selected the color picker tool
itself can be used to select a town
54
00:05:12,410 --> 00:05:16,470
instead of selecting a tonne from the
image so if you want to choose a darker
55
00:05:16,470 --> 00:05:23,039
zone or lighters you can do that right
here in the tool in fact the zone picker
56
00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:29,430
action allows two new mask to be created
you can click on pure white and this
57
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:36,800
will create a lights 6 election or mask
and picking pure black produces a darks
58
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,370
6 selection in mask once luminosity
selections are mass have been generated
59
00:05:42,370 --> 00:05:46,210
using the Infiniti mouse buttons are the
zone picker button they can be applied
60
00:05:46,210 --> 00:05:50,340
like all other luminosity mask to the
various techniques I teach in the
61
00:05:50,340 --> 00:05:55,090
complete guide to luminosity mass you
can use the master control various types
62
00:05:55,090 --> 00:05:58,880
of adjustment layers and you can further
customize them using the filling a
63
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:03,060
master painting a mass techniques and
you can localize adjustments using the
64
00:06:03,060 --> 00:06:07,419
masking amassed technique you can burn
and dodge with them using luminosity
65
00:06:07,419 --> 00:06:11,120
painting technique and also use the
overlay painting technique to create
66
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:18,979
mass for exposure blending she a quick
demonstration of how I might make some
67
00:06:18,979 --> 00:06:23,889
adjustments using these tools when I
start with the darks infinity mask
68
00:06:23,889 --> 00:06:31,449
instead of using one of the standard
darks mass from up here and I want to
69
00:06:31,449 --> 00:06:38,400
target some of these darker areas up in
the hills behind behind the trees so a
70
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:43,090
CI can be open up the feathering a
little bit and then restrict them ask
71
00:06:43,090 --> 00:06:53,710
down so that it is mostly targeting
those areas and maybe somewhere into
72
00:06:53,710 --> 00:06:57,000
their socio K
73
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,800
and now with that selection active I
will create a levels adjustment layer
74
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:11,830
and then use that adjustment too dark
and those shadowed areas that I want to
75
00:07:11,830 --> 00:07:20,890
give a little bit more darkness and
contrast to next I want to take down the
76
00:07:20,890 --> 00:07:24,960
highlights and some of these cattails
they're reflecting the bright Sun so
77
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:31,380
using lights infinity mask and are used
that to really target those brightest
78
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:40,380
areas just going to be affecting those
great areas on the tips of the cattails
79
00:07:40,380 --> 00:07:50,590
click OK and again load a levels
adjustment layer and also the blending
80
00:07:50,590 --> 00:07:54,680
mode to Multiply and you can see the
effect that that's having on those
