5 Great ways BlendIf can improve your photos

[@jaspergoodall3206]

OMG!!! You are a genius. I have been writing in photoshop suggestions for years to request the ability to get a selection from a blend-if result. So happy I clicked on this video and discovered that Lumenzia has made this a possibility. Thank you!

Thank you so much for showing how to use this blend if control.

Inspired by this tutorial, I tried using a combination of Blendif and the Clone stamp to eliminate halos from over sharpening. It worked! Thanks, Greg.

Very helpful and informative tutorial! Thank you so much Greg! God bless you and good luck!

Excellent tutorial. It really helped me understand blend if in Ps. Thank you!!!

[@alanthecannon]

Excellent video!!! SO clear!!! The final tip for the vignette is priceless. Had Lumenzia for a while, wasn't aware of this simple "fix"

[@meyrickgriffith-jones3908]

Excellent. All of these videos take a lot of absorbing. I find I watch a section, and then pause it and go into PS and try it out. - often more than once. It all takes a little practise to learn, but so very well worth while. Beginning to realise how broad the power of Lumenzia is.

At last I understand BlendIf! Thanks Greg!

[@SteveStrummerUK]

Great stuff Greg - the explanation on how blend-if works using the gradient and the colour fill is inspired!

[@gregbenzphotography]

Thank you!

[@erik1836]

Thank you, Greg, for the wealth of information you were kind enough to take the time and, none too small, efforts needed to distill it for - we who only wish we knew as much as you have forgotten! - about Photoshop and things image editing. Alas, the more I learn the more I realize how much I don't know but wish I did!

[@WorldMusicStageRecords]

Brilliant, as always. Nicely done!!!

Great tutorial, Greg. Thank you. Question: On minute 11 you add a "black to white linear gradient" to a group mask. When you applied it you it looks as though you dragged your cursor up, not down. Yet, the mask is white at the bottom! Am I miss understanding something? Thanks again.

[@gregbenzphotography]

The mask should be white at the bottom, since sun revealing the edit over the dunes. The drag order may vary depending on start/end color of the gradient or if you checked the “reverse” option, so reviewing the mask is always good.

[@mohsinfareed1797]

You are clicking your buttons up which I do not know what are they. Why do not you use the classical tools and adjustment layers of Photoshop?

[@gregbenzphotography]

Because the manual approach is much note complicated/slow, that’s why I created the panel.

[@ilanifer]

Your knowledge is admirable yet, you do it too fast (for me?...) to really learn and make use of it.. This is for very advanced Photoshop users. Thanks anyway!

[@erik1836]

I understand your point! However, what we need to keep in mind is that if he and the others who are kind enough to take the time to break something this incredibly complex down didn't work through it quickly the tutorials would be so long no one would ever listen to them or avail themselves of the lessons. I find the trick is if I find a need for a technique then I just take the lessons in bite sized pieces and keep at it until I get each point to that point, then move on to the next.

[@gregbenzphotography]

It’s always a balancing act since the audience has a wide mix of skills and learning styles. I’ll always be too slow for some and too fast for others. I always try to find the best balance, but it’ll never be perfect for a large group of viewers.
