Some really good ideas here! For the reflection, I wonder if you can choose the sky, transform/flip and then "add sky" to the existing mask. It would simplify the edits, because you'd be applying the same edits to both at the same time.... I'll have to play with that.

Thanks a lot for the helpful tips. I was very pleased with the way the adjustment panel was expanded. I had no idea about this. It is a pity that this technique does not concern the small curve adjustment window in any way. It remains small. Listening to you through the translator, I couldn't hear which key you pressed when you created repeated gradient masks. The translator called the key the word "end". I haven't been able to figure it out yet. Maybe you can write a letter? About noise suppression. Do you think that if I first apply manual noise suppression only to dark places using a brightness mask, and then use intelligent noise suppression, will artificial intelligence take into account or not that noise has already been partially eliminated in the image? Or will it process the original file anyway? Then two noise cancellations will make an even worse result? Shouldn't they be combined? I have understood your method and will try to master it.

The ‘N’ key causes LR to bring up the last masking type used. As far as your theory / process on noise reduction…not really sure. Honestly I use Topaz for noise reduction due to its masking capabilities.

Master, thank you very much! I learned a lot of new things from this video. Can you tell me how, while working with masks, you increase and decrease the size of the image? I can't find a keyboard shortcut for such an operation. p.s. I'll add it. With the space bar, I can enlarge the image, but only by one fixed value. And how exactly to the value I need? Well, and reduce it too, in order to go beyond the boundaries of the canvas with a radial mask and see it?
@easternshorephotoinstructionАй бұрын
Thanks for all your comments. I will try to hit each one individually so I don't try to cram them all into one. I hope the translations are clear and don't offer confusion. You can increase and decrease photo size by hitting CMD (CTRL on PC) with the + or - key. This will work in the Library or Development module. When you are viewing photos in the GRID mode. all you need to do is hit the. + or -. You don't need the CMD/CNTRL key combination in GRID mode. Thanks for the comments

@@easternshorephotoinstruction Thanks! I dare ask you another question about masks. Maybe not quite into the topic of gradient masks.

I also didn't really understand why I had to go around in circles to open the processed tiff in LR. I, without logging into PS, from Adobe Bridge using ACR, process with new tools, export to tiff or psd. Then, if necessary, you can export it to LR. Or is the whole trick in the smart object and the ability to return to processing? But so far I haven't seen any difference in saving time. If you explain, I would appreciate it.
@easternshorephotoinstructionАй бұрын
You are correct in your explanation. There are a few ways to do the same thing. I was just showing one way for people not familiar with BRIDGE. For some reason Bridge is not used very much in the USA. What ever way works best for you is the way to go. Thanks for the comment
@SergNikiforovGordeevАй бұрын
Thanks for the lesson, Master! If I may, I will express a couple of thoughts. I am listening to your explanation with the help of an online translator and he translated poorly at the very end. Did I understand correctly that after saving to Ps, tiff or psd will return to Lr? Is it still impossible to return the frames processed with new features processed in raw format in this way? If so, it's a little sad. I will be looking forward to the LR update. I have already experimented quite a lot in ACR with the new noise reduction in different images. I liked it more than the noise reduction in Lr and DxO. Master, maybe you made a reservation that ACR creates a new DNG file after noise reduction? It doesn't work for me. Or did I misunderstand something in your explanation? And you also didn't mention the generative extension that you introduced into ACR. For example, with small perspective corrections and small canvas enlargements, very good results can be obtained directly in ACR. Now you don't have to go to Ps for this. I write with the help of an online translator. If we made mistakes with him or translated poorly, please do not judge us strictly.🙂
@easternshorephotoinstructionАй бұрын
You are correct. When you transfer back to Lightroom the photo is no longer in a format you can send back to PS/ACR to process with the new features. This week I have been in a meeting with Julieanne Kost. She is the Adobe representative who leads Lightroom/Photoshop education and utilization. I asked her about this and she said that feature will be in Lightroom in the future. Hopefully they will make it more useful to move back and forth from Lr to Ps at that time. Thanks for the comment.

Master, thank you so much for a good, clear lesson. Probably the most difficult thing in working with this dot tool is to even out the tone of the face. I repeated your actions in my picture. I have achieved decent results. I timidly assume that it is even better than in your example. But it's always easier to repeat. By the way, face detection worked very well for me. Then, with a semi-transparent brush, he slightly increased the border of the mask. I didn't know about this method myself before. I additionally subtracted eyes, eyebrows, and lips from the face mask. Although they were not marked when determining the mask, it is more reliable this way. When I removed the red spots from my face, I also tried to touch up a little with a brush with a faint orange shade. Like it. It's a pity that you can't choose a flesh color exactly according to the numbers in the tinting block, as in Ps. But you can still use it. Thanks again. See you in your other lessons. Does it look like there is no separate playlist on LR on the channel? Or did I not find it?

How can I start Camera Raw in Windows 10?
@easternshorephotoinstructionАй бұрын
First, you would need lightroom, photoshop and adobe camera raw installed on your PC. Well, technically you don’t need lightroom installed, but I am assuming you are trying to reproduce the tip I gave in my last video. In any case you would need at least Photoshop and Adobe camera raw installed. If they are not installed log into your creative cloud application and select these apps for download/install. After they are installed, the easiest way to start ACR is to open PS, choose menu: File> Open and then select a RAW file you wish to process. When the RAW is opened, it will immediately launch ACR so you can process the photo. If you need further instructions, let me know what issues/ questions you have and will provide more help.

Typically I see this if you have created a smart object , moved it to PS and then launched Camera Raw from the menu instead of double clicking on the thumbnail in the layer panel. Also, what type of file did you create the smart object from? It must be created from a raw file in Lightroom before the denoise feature will work.

Sounds great! You might also try generative remove in Photoshop with the glare. As long as the glare is on an area which is not too complicated, it may be able to knock down some of the glare. I have used it on eye glass glare with some success. All depends on how complicated the area is. Just circle the area of glare with your lasso tool. Then select the generative ai tool as you would any gen remove action. Don’t fill anything in the dialog box. Then generate. Hope it works out for you. Thanks for the comment,

@easternshorephotoinstruction2 ай бұрын
No need. PS will merge them into one photo and add as new layer in your layers panel. You will still have a separate layer (with mask) that PS used to create the new layer (stacked focus). If you want to save space, you can delete all the layers except for the stacked-focused layer (upper most layer). That way when you send it back to LR, it will be a smaller file size since all the layers were not saved. Thanks for your comment.
