Dave, I look forward each week to you TK8 tutorials. I get heaps out of each activity you do. I would really like to see the Before/After action process.
Happiness is TK Friday. You put so many helpful hints in this tutorial. One trick I use to check my selections is to us the “q” key. Go into quick selection and view the overlay. Check it and then “ q” again to exit quick selection. Thanks for ALL your tutorials
Extremely useful and enjoyable, Dave! Jose, from Puerto Rico. Yes, I would love to see how you did the "before/after" action. I love the new upgrade to the panel; especially the unlimited amount of channels you can produce. The combo of your teachings and the panel is a "one-two" punch on its own. Great stuff Dave, thanks!
Another great tutorial and am loving the TK8 Plugin. These TK Friday videos help reinforce many previously leaned techniques and as always, add new ones. Yes, would love a tutorial on producing and Before/After action. Now looking forward to working through the video in slow time.
Great edit Dave! I like how subtle you can adjust the details with the TK8 panel. Very nice also your tip with the before/after button. I implemented that right away and it works flawlessly. What I didn't manage to do is to adjust the tool tip of this button. I'm looking forward to the video that you will hopefully make on this topic.
Hi Dave, really seeing the benefit now of painting through the masks as you showed us. The before/after action is cool, would like to see that. Something I would really like to see from you would be your editing process from taking a new raw file through to when it is opened in photoshop, profiles, basic edits etc maybe you have that already somewhere?
Thanks Dave. We just keep learning from you every Friday. I too would like to see how you created the before/after action and also how to change some of the buttons in TK8 to a different action. Thanks again.
Fantastic Dave - you are an awesome teacher! I'd been having trouble wrapping my head around painting through a mask and you filled in the gaps of my knowledge!
Excellent! Painting through the mask very nice and very well explained, thank you very much for this TK Friday masters video demonstrations and training.
Keep up the good work, Fridays are better with TK8. I mentioned this before but since you asked, I have adopted the roadmap for my processing. Such a simple idea but one of great use and benefit. I'd love to see the before/after action. I wish you did Pixinsight tutorials too, Lol
Great tips and techniques! I've had the TK panel for awhile but seeing your videos always gives me new ideas on how to use it and reinforces what all the buttons are and functions do. I would also be interested in the before/after action...
Hi Dave… Yet another great tutorial. Using the TK8 panel is really coming together. I was delighted to learn that you & Tony K worked on the latest upgrade. Just awesome work! Yes I would be very interested in setting up Before and After ‘speed dial’. Just think TKFs are the business…!

Another question - maybe for a TK Friday video, perhaps one in which you demo the Before After action. What action do YOU use for your Instant Action button? It's always great to know how the gurus are set up! Thanks in advance.
Thanks. Intersecting really comes in when you want Luminosity control and can be very helpful with clarity or any type of adjustment. If you don’t need that kind of control just use the selection.
Another great video with a bunch of tips and knowledge being shared. I'm very thankful for ahve found this chammel on UA-cam. And, sure, give us a video showing how to save our own actions and pointing some of your own you find useful. By the way, could you show some tips on how to fix bending in sky? Thanks so much. Best regards from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
Another great tutorial. Thank you Dave for your time and effort. I would like to know how you added the before and after button. I also see that you added a depth map button. Perhaps you could talk about that too.
Hi Dave, Thank you for all your tutorials. I'm trying to absorb all the information. You mentioned a tutorial about how to make the before/after button. Did you make that tutorial already and if so can you let me know where I can find it?
Hi Dave: Another wonderful and informative video. I am very interesting in seeing how you made your Action Button of Before/After. Cheers, Keith P.S. Always a great way to get my Friday morning started!
Hi, Mr. Kelly! I'm watching this video another time (now following along) and I already have copied your Before/After action and I'm using it a lot (thanks for that). But, I don't know if I've made any mistake, but when I try to use that action in a file that have been created from two layers (tryng an exposure blending) the action doesn't work. Did I make anything wrong? Thanks for your attention. ?Best regards from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.
Another great practical tutorial. The before/after action is a useful idea. Question: When you were setting up the area to lighten in the upper left, you clicked on your brush to lighten it, then clicked again to lighten it further. How was that possible if opacity and flow were both set to 100%?
It is one of the benefits of painting thru Selections. The selection holds back some of the adjustments. This would not be the case if I was applying the paint without a selection.
Totally agree with Dave on this. Painting through selections lets you make multiple brushstrokes, and so can build up the effect to the desired level. Any gray in the mask translates to less than 100% paint being deposited when painting through a selection of that mask at 100% opacity with the brush. So it's a much more subtle way to paint. Not only can you use multiple brushstrokes to increase the effect, but you can use different amounts of brushstrokes on different parts of the image. So you can apply the adjustment layers effect differentially across the image. And, the active selection also helps insure smooth blending wherever you paint. So there's a lot more versatility when painting through a selection as opposed to painting with pure black or white paint without a selection.
@@TonyKuyper Thank you both for those responses. I have been using the tools and techniques for awhile, but hadn't thought of painting through a selection in that way. That's a very refined way to think of how it works.
Burning and dodging generally involves lightening and darkening tones in the image by painting directly on a burn/dodge pixel layer. Mask painting can be used to do that also, but it can also be used more broadly to affect hue, color, and saturation, in addition to brightness and contrast, depending on the adjustment layer being used. Another way to think about it is that burning/dodging are generally done on pixel layers and mask painting is generally done with adjustment layers. And adjustment layers, naturally, open up more possibilities for adjusting the image, so mask painting can also open new possibilities.
Great video as always! This photo got me wondering of a way to target all those bluish/white hot spots from the sky, and replace them with foliage. My eye is drawn to them. Anything come to mind?
Dear Dave, thanks for your excellent series of videos. I recently came across them and am fascinated by the new worlds to explore with TK8. Of course I left a subscription of your channel to be informed about each new content. From your PS User Interface I saw that you also have plugins from Infinite Tools installed. Do you actively use them and if yes - how? Do you use them side by side with TK8 in one workflow or in which scenarios do you switch to them? Although they are expensive, I find them very appealing in terms of visuals and simple usability. Would you recommend having two or three of them? Keep up the good work, kind regards, Christian from Germany
Great tutorial, as always. I followed this through using an image of my own and came across a small bug (I've emailed Tony about it). Anyway, when combining two channels don't use ampersand in the name e.g. Hawk & Tail, as this channel doesn't work, Hawk Tail or as you did Complete Hawk obviously does. Just a wee note in case you come across this. I would also like to see the Before/After action please.
As always a very good video Dave. In future videos would it be possible for you to explain how you decide which type of mask to use e.g. luminosity, tone etc. I can see why you used a colour mask but not why a tone mask was better than a luminosity mask. Thanks Dave for all your hard work in producing your excellent videos.
As usual a great tutorial. Just wish I could remember all the steps when doing my editing. That before/after button looks like a uesfull addition. A tutorial on it would be useful please.
Good question Doug. I just add a blank pixel layer above the background layer and use a paint brush tool set to magenta, and a Wacom tablet and just add my notes. You can keep adding blank pixel layers for new notes if the image is getting to cluttered. Then just shut the layers on or off as needed. It’s not a bad idea to add all of those notes to a group called Notes or Road Map just to keep your layers tidy as you are working on your image.
Dave...thanks for another great video. Just wondering on your thoughts as to why you used the Fill button option to access content aware fill instead of the CAF button? I am guessing the fill button is a bit quicker due to bypassing CAF options window. Just wondering. Personally I was not aware that CAF was available on the Fill option. Thanks for that great tip!
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly That is what I figured once I saw you demo the option. Like I said...never knew there was that feature on the FILL button. Good to know. You're a wizard. Thanks!
Hi Dave...I was just reviewing this video, once again. It's a good one. My question is about painting and opacity. I thought if you are at 100% opacity with your brush, you are layering paint completely in one stroke. One stroke of the brush and you are at 100%. Another stroke can't go beyond 100%. If you are at 50%, say, the first stroke is 50% of maximum and the next is 50% of the 50%, or about 75% etc. But, maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for you great work
Good question. That is the case if you are painting at 100% opacity and not using a selection. When you paint through a selection all of the areas are not 100% white. The 100% white areas won’t receive over 100% opacity but the areas that aren’t will keep building up as you paint through them or until they reach the 100% point.
dave like watching your vids,but trying to save a pic of mine thats edited with sky and ground but when I save, the ground always shows up white like a mask where the sky shows colour
I don’t understand why that is happening. But try this: Stamp the layers into one image layer and then try saving or exporting. The other thing you can try is Flattening the image, which will combine all of the layers together. With the flattening method you will lose all of your previous layers. The stamp method will preserve them.
Hi Dave, I hope you can help me. Everytime I make a selection with the TK8 panel and save it the selected area is always black and the rest white. I can invert it , but if I then use the mask calculator it all goes back to the way it was, selected area black. I hope you have some insight into this problem. I even downloaded this image and followed your steps even using the panel to see the mask and the bird was white as it should be. As soon as I clicked on save it reverted to the bird being black. Thanks Geoff.
Hi Dave, your videos are excellent, but I have an issue : I'm working on your sample image on my iMac and following your instructions on my iPad. When you say "click on this icon", I have no idea sometimes which icon you're referring to. So, I have to stop the video, rewind, expand the image and then wait for the video to show where you're referring to. The compress and continue. It would be so much easier if you told us which icon you were selecting. I could stop the video, find the icon in the instructions and then catch up. Thanks.
Have you ever actually demonstrated how to make a roadmap? I like the idea as I often get into an edit and lose my focus. Is the roadmap something you can do in PS? I just assumed you did it somehow for presentation purposes using a video software. Can you point me somewhere to how to do it?
I have not. I do Roadmap right in Photoshop. I just make as many blank pixel layers that I might need and just use Magenta paint and a Wacom tablet to write my notes. It’s a good idea to put all of your layers into a group just to keep it tidy.

Why intersect masks for clarity or lighting up the hawk?
Wouldn’t be enough to use only the hawk mask?

Hi Dave, your videos are excellent, but I have an issue : I'm working on your sample image on my iMac and following your instructions on my iPad. When you say "click on this icon", I have no idea sometimes which icon you're referring to. So, I have to stop the video, rewind, expand the image and then wait for the video to show where you're referring to. The compress and continue. It would be so much easier if you told us which icon you were selecting. I could stop the video, find the icon in the instructions and then catch up. Thanks.
Thanks for that suggestion Gary.
I made a video calculator. Dave Kelly x TK Friday = Amazingly Educational.
Have you ever actually demonstrated how to make a roadmap? I like the idea as I often get into an edit and lose my focus. Is the roadmap something you can do in PS? I just assumed you did it somehow for presentation purposes using a video software. Can you point me somewhere to how to do it?
I have not. I do Roadmap right in Photoshop. I just make as many blank pixel layers that I might need and just use Magenta paint and a Wacom tablet to write my notes. It’s a good idea to put all of your layers into a group just to keep it tidy.
Very good work. I would also like to see the creation of the Before-After custom button
Thanks!
Thank you Patrick
