1
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,370
before you begin working with luminosity
masks
2
00:00:05,370 --> 00:00:09,160
it's a good idea to set up a custom
luminosity masking workspace
3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,890
within Photoshop Photoshop allows us to
set up
4
00:00:12,890 --> 00:00:16,029
custom work spaces and it also comes
with several
5
00:00:16,029 --> 00:00:20,519
default workspace my own custom work
space is fairly similar to
6
00:00:20,519 --> 00:00:23,989
wanna the Photoshop default workspace is
with my
7
00:00:23,989 --> 00:00:28,509
toolbox on the left my navigator and
histogram panels
8
00:00:28,509 --> 00:00:32,920
on the right with the layers and
channels panels located below that and
9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,840
several other panels are used frequently
10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,450
minimized here however when we're
working specifically with luminosity
11
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:40,360
masks
12
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,680
having the layers and channels panel
located in the same place
13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,770
isn't as efficient as it could be
because we're going to be using
14
00:00:47,770 --> 00:00:52,090
both those panels frequently and having
to switch back and forth between them
15
00:00:52,090 --> 00:00:52,810
all the time
16
00:00:52,810 --> 00:00:55,890
becomes a little bit cumbersome so I
would recommend
17
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:59,470
taking the channels panels separating it
out and placing it
18
00:00:59,470 --> 00:01:03,170
in between the layers and the navigator
19
00:01:03,170 --> 00:01:06,380
and I can move the navigator up a little
bit
20
00:01:06,380 --> 00:01:09,840
and move my layers down a little bit
21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,359
to get that channel scan a little bit
more breathing room let's have that
22
00:01:13,359 --> 00:01:14,479
setup how I want it
23
00:01:14,479 --> 00:01:17,549
I can now go to new workspace
24
00:01:17,549 --> 00:01:23,319
call this workspace luminosity masking
25
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,479
your whatever works for you and say okay
26
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:32,289
that I can go back to my personal
workspace
27
00:01:32,289 --> 00:01:36,420
and bring that channels panel back down
here where I want it
28
00:01:36,420 --> 00:01:40,850
and now that I have that said
29
00:01:40,850 --> 00:01:45,549
I can switch back and forth between my
luminosity masking workspace
30
00:01:45,549 --> 00:01:48,829
and my shuns personal workspace
31
00:01:48,829 --> 00:01:51,920
very easily and luminosity masking
workspace
32
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,429
allows me to access both the channels
and the layers
33
00:01:55,429 --> 00:01:58,849
at the same time and that's really going
to be beneficial to us
34
00:01:58,849 --> 00:02:02,579
as we're working with various luminosity
masking techniques
35
00:02:02,579 --> 00:02:06,520
so I would recommend setting up a custom
luminosity masking
36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:09,910
work space within Photoshop so that you
can work most efficiently
37
00:02:09,910 --> 00:02:11,110
when you're doing your min
38
00:02:11,110 --> 00:02:11,760
