59
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:33,480
I'm going to turn off the visibility of
60
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,700
that layer so i can be working again on
61
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,260
the color values and now i want to look
62
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:39,840
for a different black and white
63
00:02:37,260 --> 00:02:40,440
conversion that I can blend in with that
64
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,380
one
65
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,750
so I still think the red channel is
66
00:02:43,380 --> 00:02:49,739
going to do what i want but this time
67
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:52,350
I'm going to bring the tone down more
68
00:02:49,739 --> 00:02:54,510
into the mid-tones to get into this
69
00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:58,530
darker part of the image and also bring
70
00:02:54,510 --> 00:03:01,800
the range down so that I'm more focusing
71
00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:05,100
with some contrast on this whole
72
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:08,430
foreground region and I
73
00:03:05,100 --> 00:03:10,080
working with that until it looks good
74
00:03:08,430 --> 00:03:12,180
for what I'd like my foreground to look
75
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,070
like and I can keep working with those
76
00:03:12,180 --> 00:03:15,750
sliders and perfecting it but let's say
77
00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:19,830
that's good enough for now so I'll
78
00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:22,740
output that as a pixel layer as well and
79
00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:24,840
i can turn on the original black and
80
00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:27,510
white pixel layer which looks like that
81
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:30,240
and i'm going to move this one to the
82
00:03:27,510 --> 00:03:33,660
tops i want that to be on top and I'm
83
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:37,740
going to add a white mask to that and
84
00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:40,260
then with a black brush i can now add
85
00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:44,520
thirty percent opacity begin masking
86
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:46,770
through and bringing in some of the
87
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,740
other black and white conversion layer
88
00:03:46,770 --> 00:03:52,110
that I made and lightening up some of
89
00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:55,410
the foreground and I could do this is
90
00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:58,860
artistically as I wanted and spend time
91
00:03:55,410 --> 00:04:00,480
getting that done that might be an
92
00:03:58,860 --> 00:04:02,730
interesting way to be able to create a
93
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,310
black and white conversion that also
94
00:04:02,730 --> 00:04:08,100
does a great job of extending dynamic
95
00:04:05,310 --> 00:04:10,310
range i'm going to delete those two
96
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:13,819
layers
97
00:04:10,310 --> 00:04:15,830
and look at one more idea i want to
98
00:04:13,819 --> 00:04:18,019
focus on the large trees with this idea
99
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:21,290
and I think the red channel still going
100
00:04:18,019 --> 00:04:25,160
to do the best job of that then I can
101
00:04:21,290 --> 00:04:27,080
use the pick tool to go in and pick
102
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,450
those tones that are actually in those
103
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,900
large trees to get the tone slider
104
00:04:29,450 --> 00:04:38,150
focused on those and then I can use the
105
00:04:32,900 --> 00:04:40,160
range slider to isolate those large
106
00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:44,270
trees even a little bit more in the mask
107
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:46,760
and now i can output that pixels and
108
00:04:44,270 --> 00:04:48,200
this time I'm not doing a black and
109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,210
white conversion actually want to
110
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,130
increase the contrast and vibrance in
111
00:04:50,210 --> 00:04:53,180
those large trees so i'm going to set
112
00:04:52,130 --> 00:04:56,630
the blending mode of this
113
00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:59,360
black-and-white layer to overlay and you
114
00:04:56,630 --> 00:05:01,940
can see that that really pops those
115
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:04,760
large tree tones and really brings in
116
00:05:01,940 --> 00:05:06,260
some vibrance with those now I don't
117
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,150
like how it's affecting the rest of the
118
00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:12,139
image so what I can do at this point is
119
00:05:08,150 --> 00:05:14,450
add a mask to that layer and invert the
120
00:05:12,139 --> 00:05:19,190
master black and then with a white brush
