Among the very best processing tips I have ever learned. Thank you so much, Dave, what a difference this has made to my images, it is now a major part of my workflow.
Great tutorial, Dave, thanks! I just thought of a variant. How about duplicating the background layer, setting it to linear light (with a fill of around 10%) and using a layer mask to control where (and how much) it's applied? This way you don't have to sample the colors for the brush, and you'll avoid painting over a detail with the wrong color brush.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly I am still learning Photoshop so may well be wrong, but rather than duplicating the layer as Ákos says wouldn't adding a curves layer and setting blend mode and fill on that and then masking this adjustment in have the same effect with the advantage that this way interactive so that if one goes back and adjusts the editing beneath the "colour punch" layer the changes are taken into account. It also saves increasing the file size. Happy to be corrected if I am mistaken.
That’s a great variant on Akos’s variant and you are correct. Adjustment layers are a great way of adding blending modes to change up the image by only using it for the blending mode and not the adjustment. For example, I like using a Curves or Levels adjustment layer set to either a multiply blend mode to darken the image or a screen blend mode to lighten the image. Thanks for the feedback David.
Hi Dave, it looks very easy, and thanks for the clear tutorial. Being a novice with PS, I was trying to duplicate your actins, but somehow it does not work for me. When I click to create a new "pixel" layer, I do not get the same result you do, a "white" blank layer. Mine is just a transparent layer. Could you help me with how to get a white blank pixel layer? thanks
Frank it should be a transparent layer. All you need to do is set the Blank Pixel Layer to Linear Light Blend Mode @ 10% Fill Opacity and Paint on it. Mine is a transparent layer. It may look white because of the video compression but I can assure you it is a blank (checkerboard looking) layer...
It is different Arnold. The Soft Pop is adding some detail and a bump up in color. Soft Pop is using the Hard Mix Blend Mode.The technique I am showing today is mainly giving you a nice increase in saturation and a bit more contrast in color. Try adding soft pop on top on this layer and it can really be nice. You might need to pull the opacity back from the default setting of 15% on the fill (Soft Pop), when combining both techniques.

Great tip. I must try linear light mode on some of my Nova Scotia landscapes. Cheers,,

this is one of the best tips I have gotten recently - Thanks
Super easy and effective technique, awesome!
Wow, what a great technique. Excellent. Your tutorials have helped me so much. Thanks!!!
Outstanding tutorial. Does it make any sense to use luminosity or color masks with this technique?
I love your tutorials. Thanks
Thanks Dave, I'd never heard of this technique before. Seems to be very useful!
Excellent, thank you. Another color contrast with a punch.
Wow! So simple, yet so beautiful.
Another epic tutorial 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. Nice Dave. Thx again.

Thanks Akos and thanks for your variant. Great idea.

Dave how does the linear light mode compare to the TK panel's soft pop?

Nice 👌👌👌
What a great feature to know about. I can't wait to give it a try Dave. Thanks
Sorry about that. Couldn't find a way to PM you with the information. Just trying to be helpful
