    I'm currently working for a degree in animation & motion graphics. I'm taking a digital photography course this term and I have been watching your videos instead of the lectures provided by my professor to learn techniques. You have such a warm and approachable presentation in all of your videos and they are so engaging and easy to follow! You are a natural teacher and I am so grateful to have found this channel. Keep up the excellent work!

    Usually, I see this type of video, and it is either ridiculously difficult or overly simplistic. This clip taught me something valuable. Simple without being simplistic. Thank you for the most instructive three minutes and fifty seconds ever! Highlt recommended!

    phlearn teaches the way I wish my instructors taught when I was in graphic design and web design back in the day. I'm getting back into photoshop after a long stint errr, it has been a while. I do think that all the tutorials should be grouped but none the less these are fantastic and the teaching style is the best I've come across. God Bless

    Thanks for this. I haven't thought about using Apply Image on a mask like that before. I think I would have defaulted to using the Blend-If sliders, since those would allow me to refine how much of the shadows/highlights to ignore a little better.

  • @EricRaeber
    @EricRaeber 5 років тому +61

    I like that idea very much, Aaron.
    However, the "Apply Image" is destructive to the mask, meaning that if you need to modify your dodge and burn masks after you have "applied" the image, you would get irregularities in the mask.
    I tried your technique, but instead of applying the image to the mask I used a "Blend If" for the curves adjustment layer. When I spread the black (or the white) cursor for the underlying image across the entire spectrum, I seem to get a very similar results, albeit without overwriting the mask.

    • @EricRaeber
      @EricRaeber 5 років тому +1

      @@chiditv4617 blend if applies the mask as a function of the underlying image brightness. This allows you to modify the dodging and burning region after the fact. Here is another excellent video by Aaron on the topic: ua-cam.com/video/3GKDBXrpV8s/v-deo.html
