The interesting (sad?) thing is that Calculations has been in Photoshop from the very beginning; it predates layers, and was the only way to create drop shadows, embossing techniques, and the like in the early days. But every time there's been an improvement to 'smart' selection tools, the more basic and fundamental options seem to get pushed further and further into the background and disregarded, which is a shame, as you demonstrated well here. Dan Margulis popularized (if not coined) the phrase "every image has 10 channels" in his 1998 classic book Professional Photoshop, and Bert Monroy & David Biedny's Photoshop Channel Chops from the same year tried to expand the understanding of channels for both selections and color correction (and more!), but neither was widely accepted. I never understood why, as they were both excellent guides to some fundamental underpinnings of digital imaging, and still applicable 24 years later. Thanks for the refresher!

Excellent and thorough tutorial. As a Photoshop user since v1.0, I appreciate detailed descriptions of unfamiliar techniques and workflows. One thing I'd point out, though - converting to different colour modes via Image > Mode is a linear conversion that can cause significant problems such as overly dull images (esp. RGB to CMYK). Converting via Edit > Convert to Profile... gives much better results even with default colour profiles.

I don't know how I stumbled into this video, since I don't even have photoshop. But I am a compositor for film/tv and this sort of channel manipulation is very common in Nuke (industry standard compositing tool). You're constantly trying to extract detail and information from *wherever* you can get it from in compositing, so we're always switching between R,G and B, switching colourspaces to LAB, YCrCb, or just pulling keys in different colourspaces. Nuke works in 32bits per channel colour, so high precision float is default, allowing you to really push/pull/combine/crunch colours. One example is that this allows you to use a divide operation and allow values above 1 (1.0 in float, translation to photoshop speak is 255). So you can create a "clean plate" of your sky, in which you fill in anything that isn't sky with the closest sky colour. So you have just the sky, and then a blurry image representing sky colour, but it interpolates the gradients that are present in the sky. With that image, you can then divide it by the original image. Now colours that are the same between the two (the sky) have a value of 1 (anything divided by itself = 1), and the things that are darker than the sky (bridge, buildings etc) become darker or brighter, depending on which order you do the divide. Now you can subtract 1 off, leaving only the things that are different between the clean plate and the original image (that were represented by values above 1). This gives you a nice alpha that is optimised for every part of the sky - eliminating the need to tweak levels/curves (grades in Nuke) for different parts of the image. You now just have one alpha to tweak, which should have uniformly nice edges. This technique is an example of an "image based" technique, similar to Nukes legendary IBK keyer (IBK standing for image based key). Then of course there is the issue of fringing, which is another every day comp issue that can often be solved with maths or "calculations". But that's for another day 😂 Anyway - nice video. Was interesting to see how something like this might be done in photoshop. It looks utterly painful compared to Nuke, but interesting nonetheless!

You always manage to take it up a level Jesús. I've been using Calculations for years but never thought to expand the channel options with CMYK and LAB mode. In fact, to be honest, I didn't know you could select other images for the source. I met you very briefly at MAX in 2016 (I think - it was at San Diego) I was with buddy and fellow ACP Chuck Uebele. We TA'd for one of Bert's workshops and I ended up tongue tied when talking to Bert as he has always been my #1 Photoshop hero, so I love that you mentioned Bert in regards to Photoshop Channel Chops. It's also sad that our Professor Norman Sanders passed away at the end of last year, as he was a huge advocate of LAB Mode, and would have been chuffed to bits with this video. I'm in New Zealand so MAX is a big deal, but when we return to actual meet ups, and if I can persuade a certain ACP who lives in the UK to attend, we just might say hello if we see you.
