Tutorial: Luminosity Masks and A DIFFICULT Landscape Photo

[@StephenCotterell]

Thank you Jimmy - it was very useful

[@byoregon1]

Not many upsides to this quarantine thing, but getting a detailed tutorial like that from you is certainly one of them! Thx for taking the time to do that. I need to use that frequency separation technique more often. IM and RP are key tools in my arsenal. I’m glad you’re staying home and safe. 🥂

[@rickb6029]

At time 4 to 5 min you talk about halos in the distant ridges on the left. There is a sensor dust spot on the upper right which also has a halo, so there is some contrast processing on the raw file I suppose.

[@derrickkelly4745]

Great tutorial Jimmy. Thanks for sharing.

[@knightryderbelow]

When you did the vignette it really brought me into the scene, almost felt like I could literally walk to the mountains. Great job!

[@DmitriMironov]

Thanks again Jimmy. As always you provide priceless information!

[@hestajevel]

This video pretty much sums up all I'm trying to learn right now, thanks a lot! :)

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

You're very welcome!

[@cjiang2364]

Hey Jimmy, thx for the great video, very helpful! I got one question regarding Raya Pro, is it compatible with Photoshop 2020?

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

Hi, Yes Raya Pro is fully compatible with 2020. Raya Pro works in CS6, 2018, 2019, 2020, & 2021

[@benpearsephotography]

Really great instructional video Jimmy, great tip with the frequency separation fix too...

Excellent artist photographer you are Jimmy !

[@evertking1]

My man Jimmy!!! Always a good day when we get a video.

[@BenySukaSuka]

Beautiful editing process, thank you for sharing.

[@seanorphoto]

Hi jimmy. Great to see this series back and this was a very helpful video especially for when some subjects move in the image like a tree. I have one recurring issue however in photoshop and it’s not necessarily connected to raya pro but when I select my mask and go to paint in the sky, the brush still slightly paints in the bottom exposure which is not part of the mask? So when I paint over areas which are not selected the brush still brings in some of the top layer which I don’t want. Any suggestions here?

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

Hi there, This is because the mask is not contrasting enough. Try creating a really contrasting mask, completely black and white. Then try brushing. If it stays within the mask, you'll know you need more contrast masks.

[@chrisvantwiskphotography]

Amazing, will buy :)

[@bobblack4048]

I have a shot from a very similar location that I've never been totally happy with. A lot of practice using this video will help immensely

[@metrixc]

Great video. I really like the detail start to finish explanation. Keep it up. Best regards

[@AlexAmaralSouzaFerreira]

Thank a lot. Jimmy, for sharing your knowledge. A big hug from Brazil.

Thank you Jimmy! Lovely work, so good!

[@roncline7964]

Hey Jimmy. Another great video. What stop amount do you use for your bracketing shots?

[@duffyhunter]

Your best CJ yet. I got so much from this. Thankyou 🙏

[@knightryderbelow]

Jimmy... that was incredible! You make me wanna get into landscape photography. I think I’m gonna purchase your tutorials just to support you, your work is just so beautiful! Thank you!

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

That's very kind of you. Thanks.

[@superbas79]

Great video Jimmy as always, and congratulation for your new book!!

You are the man Jimmy

[@TimUhler1977]

Love it Jimmy! Really helps

[@RNMcover]

Love these videos Jimmy! Thank you!

[@georgebaragan]

Absolutely beautiful work! I finally got the time to watch your photography course that I bought almost 2 years ago!

[@kevinyang3182]

Hi Jimmy, nice video, love your tutorials as always! In this tutorial, you start with 4 different exposures and adjust them one by one. In the real world, what if I only took one exposure? Can I use ACR to make extra three different exposures and then follow work flow? Or, I have to remember to use bracketing with different exposures whenever I want to use your RAYA PRO for post editing? Thank you!

[@GMC43]

As always mate fabulous and I really love how you teach us how to do things without the panel. I am using photoshop 2015 would raya pro work for me if u purchase it? Also how to install it on a mac? Thanks Jimmy.

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

Thanks Gavin. Yeah, it should work without any problems. The installation instructions for a Mac are included in the download.

[@GMC43]

@@JimmyMcIntyre that's fantastic I purchase it later on. Thanks ever so much

[@shengyetang7220]

Hi Jimmy, a question, why did you do the first dodge(to the ground) on the stamped layer, and do the second dodge(to the sky) on a new layer with soft light mode? what is the difference of these two different types of dodge technique?

[@sweetkidd06]

Hey Jimmy lob we the video nice having you back. Once question why do you use dodge and burn destructively, why the preference?

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

Hi. I just prefer the final result. That's all really :)

[@elbiadoussama1774]

how can I get the novel Mr jimmy ?

Nice edit Jimmy, keep safe all the best!

Will appreciate if you can do a tutorial on night cityscape and how to blend Bill board light which change

[@Kevflows]

Just perfect

[@ropepark_coverband]

Thank you so much!!!

[@chiuyuenkwan833]

Can you do this in Lumionar 4?

[@akashdeeppuri4344]

You are love jimmy.

[@maartenvandenberg4825]

Is the challenge still valid? Would love to see yoy proces 580nm infrared

[@ian-robinson]

It’s knowing what tool to use when that drives me nuts.

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

That comes with practice Ian. There isn't anything in photography that is one-stop formula for success. Every scene is different. Every workflow is unique. That's something I love about post processing.

[@raindropsneverfall]

Lol, are you using a trackpad?

[@JimmyMcIntyre]

Annoying, isn't it? My tablet broke!!!

[@JackArnold7]

@@JimmyMcIntyre i have had a Wacom tablet for years and never used. are there any good vids about using it the way you do?
