    Hello, thank you for the explanation. I bought that SW one year ago (ver 5 or 4, the current is 6 Elite) There was no chance to understand how it works. You open my eye to thinking about returning again and gave me an opportunity to use it. Thanks a lot.

    Excellent tutorial I am sure it will help many people get to grips with Control Points and Control Lines.
    Maybe extend this topic by including the use of negative control points and lines to fine tune masks?
    It's a bit of a kludge but if you extend the Control line past the image boundary then you effectively get a "filled mask" for the entire image. You can then use the selection dropper to select the tone/colour in the entire image. Can be useful sometimes.

    Wow! Thanks so much for this. I just bought a copy of PL5 to try because I have been so unhappy with the way LR deals with the noise and color profile of the Canon R5. This is a big step in helping fine tune using the program.

    Good tutorial Dave ... It is nice to know so much about the control points and Control lines . Surely this gives added control over targeted adjustments in an image. I am right now testing the trial version 5.0 with my images and hopefully it should work out well. Thank. you very much once again for this tutorial.

    Thanks for this tutorial Dave. I think I can now start to use give this app some love.
    BTW: Where did you learn to pronounce "influence" in that way? I'm quite sure it's "IN flu ence", not "in FLU ence". What can I say, always wanted to be a grammar teacher.

    Nicely done, thanks. I've been using DXO PL 5 for a few months, and I really like it. But I've only dabbled with local adjustments, mostly control points. With this tutorial, I now feel comfortable using control lines. Any plans to expand to the other tools e.g. brushes, auto masks?

    @thebostonartist 2 роки тому

    Great video, Dave, thanks. Do you have a link to a video you've done that might address the RAW vs. TIFF aspects of using DXO. Like using a copy from Lightroom instead of RAW or just a TIFF after you've done work in Photoshop. Are the controls diminished a little bit if you are not working in RAW, like in ACR? Thanks, again.

    • @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly
      @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly  2 роки тому +1

      I don’t recall having made a video like you are referring to. If you are working with a 16bit tiff file you would still be getting a ton of information and would achieve a good edit. I do feel, however, you will get better results if you start out working with a RAW File.

    In the Windows version, I can not find new mask button, nor a new mask short cut key, the manual doesn't cover this shortcut, please advise how to start a new mask.

      @thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly  2 роки тому

      Les here is a comment from @Ian Seward that should help you: The new mask icon is in the main radial menu. Less mouse movement required. Press the M key to show/hide the mask. In the centre of the radial menu is a ? Mark, press it to display the help menu which explains all of the control options.

    On a Windows PC none of the controls that you show at the bottom of the screen show up: "Show cropped areas, Show mask, New Mask, Reset, Close." How do I get to these controls?

      @@ianyorke2617 Yes, thanks - but one does feel like DxO is treating Windows users as 2nd class. I suppose there is a technical reason for the difference so I'll live with it - these masks are the main reason I upgraded since PL5 isn't a very big upgrade from PL4.
