Removing Halos in skies using photoshop - photoshop tutorial

[@boxzx]

Finally...took 40 videos to find the answer to this white fringe, thanks man

[@ggstylz]

Awesome Nick well done. For quicker results this is the brilliant.

[@DnB138]

Thanks so much Nick! This might be the best tutorial I have come across on KZbin. I have gone back and retouched the majority of my photos based on this video. Thanks so much man!

[@dmonaghan99]

You're a lifesaver...halos were driving me nuts, particularly the naturally occurring ones in my photos where I hadn't even done any Lightroom/Photoshop adjustments. Thanks

[@fubband]

Genius! 🙌🏻 Crying inside now, thinking of all the hours I’ve stupidly spent zoomed right in and clone stamping pixel by pixel in the normal blend mode....arrrrgghhhhh!

[@festermclester2864]

Awesome tips here, thanks Nick, great job as usual!

[@garystiles2559]

I know I'm late to the party but this was MONEY! Awesome!!

[@s-larcher6057]

halos dealt with so simply. bonza! thank you.

[@pbziegler]

First video of your's I've seen. Best explanation of how to remove halos. Gonna follow you.

[@4rr44E]

Nick, thanks for the tip! I've struggled with halos so this will help. Love your work.

[@mrnomore]

thanx for the vid, Nick. i have couple things i'd love to see. 1. how to remove lens flares. 2. best way to correct white balance in PS Cam RAW. especially color overcasts. this video was my number 3 so again, thanx a lot.

[@Zak_McKracken]

Really great tutorial Nick! A big👍👍for it.

[@chrismp2k7]

Great tip, thanks Nick. Love your videos.

[@Tallpinesbuilds]

I've watched a dozen different videos on this and was getting really frustrated. your video literally was a one time watch, didn't have to rewind and try to remember all the million steps, and I just fixed about a dozen of my photos in minutes. thanks man!

[@PhotogAdventures]

This is brilliant, Nick. I keep telling myself I know Photoshop and then I come across tips like this and feel like a newb again! :D This is going to work brilliantly in my Astrophotography when I combine an exposure for the light painted foreground and the dark night sky or any different time exposures. Thanks, man! -Aaron

[@janeandrew2636]

I saw someone use the darken mode a couple of years ago but had forgotten it, so thanks for the reminder. The detail extractor tip is a good one and I'll definitely try it. Stay safe.

[@kevfstop]

So helpful. Great tip. Thank you.

[@lukejc1]

This is a game changer for my processing. Thanks for this!

[@philipdumond2044]

Thanks for the tips Nick. Always appreciate them!

[@robbiewade6008]

This is awesome and simple, thanks for sharing this technique!

[@shanebrennan7856]

Wish I had looked this up sooner. So easy and effective, thanks Nick!

[@alanbrunelle1546]

Fantastic - thanks much for sharing this!

[@liammcclean1336]

Thanks for this Nick! Very helpful info! Keep up the great work!

[@MarkDenneyPhoto]

Good stuff! Thanks Nick👍

[@bobincdas]

Very helpful Nick ! Thank you :)

[@stevechoatie249]

This was great and just what I was looking for! Keep up the great work that you do!!

[@Mackymcd]

Nick thats a fantastic tip for the halos, appreciate it cheers!

[@BrianPex]

This is one of those tips that when you learn it, it's a "Oh wow" type thing. Nicely explained. So simple when you think about it. Love the bonus addition at the end. It's so frustrating when you hear people afraid to use PS. With layers and opacity sliders and just a little thinking, you can do anything you can think of. :-) Nice job.

[@PROEPEEFENCER]

You Sir just saved my life. Thank you.

[@danielodonoghue3529]

Brilliant! Just saved and image for me, thanks Nick.

[@jonburton2709]

Top Video. Saves a lot of time. Thank you.

[@allandavies1187]

I have Ps Nick but never been brave enough to try it. I totally rely on Lightroom. Loved the halo removal...

[@NickPage]

Once you get used to the concept of working in layers.. and see the potential it becomes worth the effort!

[@jamesmarko1787]

Yeah I'm still intimidated by PS. I only really use content aware fill and the clone stamp.

[@MrRooster1968]

Brilliant tips mate cheers

[@wojciechsiewior3868]

That is nifty! Thanks Nick!

[@b93kda]

lol...I've been doing the same thing without 'Darken' layer mode. It's been pain in the ass. Thank you so much! 'Darken' is magic!

[@NickPage]

Boom! yeah that would be a nighmare without the blend mode!

[@verdonrocksphotography3510]

very nice work Nick, very helpful

[@johnphagen]

thanks, great tip! Really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@Mrbluesplayer43]

Brilliant video. Now i've turned to the darken side

[@whatmattersmost6725]

Nice job Nick, I would like to see you doing Luminosity masking with TK software please...

[@tamaskovacs6933]

Hi Nick, brilliant as always. I have just faced a problem and it would be a tip for next tutorials: how about showing some tricks to remove lens flare from photos. Keep up the great job! Cheers

[@NickPage]

lens flare is one of the most difficult things to remove after the fact! great idea!

[@robjason9695]

Tamás Kovács simple! just take a second exposure with your finger, hand, whatever blocking the sun. Use that frame to mask out any flare.

[@ktaceton]

Thanks Nick, I would love to see you managing the problem with lens flare!

[@ktaceton]

Hi Rob, thanks for the tip. Actually I started to look for workarounds for lens flare and I have seen this solution, however for I took a photo last week and realised the flare only later at home. I know it is a silly mistake, and I am sure that next time I shall check my photos on-scene with paying more attention :) However, the only option I have with this photo is to try to remove the flare in post - currently seems to be an ultimate competition for me, but will try to do my best. Thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Thanks for the help! I just hit the subscribe button and am looking forward to viewing all of your videos.

[@saeedmalik3000]

Great video Nik, hope to see more of this type of videos. But please dont cut down on your "in field" videos.

[@elevationphoto]

Thanks for all your great info! Where'd you get that fantastic shirt?

[@Wrecksy]

This is incredible! How have I not known about this? Thank you!

[@32gibby]

Very nice work. Where did you get your tee shirt from love it.

[@travislucas7483]

As always I enjoyed this tutorial. For an upcoming video I would like to suggest a compare and contrast between Raya Pro and the TK action sets I see you have both. Currently I have Raya Pro 2.0 but I feel like TK version 5 might be a better fit. Haven't been able to find a compare and contrast video anywhere.

[@NickPage]

Thats in the works, I am also comparing Lumenzia in the review as well. i talked to Jimmy Mac today and he has a new panel coming out next week I will be including as well....... I am going to be watching a whole lot of tutorials learning all these different panels lol

[@MadfishFPV]

Thank Nick for this tip, I was watching Sean Bagshaws video using the same technique last night but like the merge visible layers tip to create a snapshot of the current image 👍. Will be giving this a go tonight when I’m home from work. Does this also work with halos around trees, foliage etc that you get when doing exposure blending?

[@MLC48]

Thanks Nick. How would you fix the white halo if the sky is darker than the foreground?

[@elnaelna4467]

Hello, Nick! Your tutorial is amazing! I came across with one problem, like you have dark mountains and stamping in darken mode don’t affect them . But what to do if for example I have white walls or something in light compare to the sky. What would you advice in this situation.

[@bigolives]

Top man. this done the trick on my pine forest :-)

[@Ms888kat888]

Thank you for tutorial; very helpful. A question...I took color to B&W including storm clouds. I see a black line between white storm clouds and darker sky (which was dark blue)...any suggestions how to get rid of black edge?

[@jean-pierrenadeau4007]

Quick, easy and hassle free... ;-)

[@steveh1273]

do you use smart objects/filters so you can go back to ACR and change if needed?

[@gr8_22-15]

Ummmm, that hat is awesome! Great vid

[@allandavies1187]

When you click on ALT and then clone with the clone stamp tool. Question : Do YOU continue to( hold down the ALT key ) or release immediately after pressing the ALT - KEY ????

[@pbsalfen]

I'd like to see some of what you came away from Mono Lake and Death Valley with.

[@NickPage]

at the end of that video I share a bunch of the keepers

[@pbsalfen]

Saw those. I was just hoping for more photos and more about the trip. No worries.

[@mhc2b]

Hi Nick. Enjoying your videos. One question concerning your workflow in Nik Color Efex on this video - Instead of adding the effect globally in Nik, then black-masking in PS, then white-painting to reveal the extra water detail in PS, why didn't or couldn't you just use the "brush" in Nik Color Efex to simply paint over the water area in PS? It seems to me that this would certainly save you some unnecessary steps in your process.

[@NickPage]

it would be pretty much the same, although I would rather use layer masks to define my affected area, rather than the brush in Nik, because the mask can easily be altered and refined later on.. but really its just a preference thing, not really a "right way"

[@jensvielmann7662]

Since a year or two I believe that Halos are always caused by bad editing. Anyways, in this case wouldnt it be easier to just blur/feather the mask between skies and foreground ?? P.S. sorry may come over a bit more critical than intended. I appreciate that you take the time to educate us for free.

[@DiviPhotos]

nice video

[@mark2shooter]

Very helpful. Thanks :)

[@steveh1273]

Post any tutorial on PS for us PS challenged followers as long as you explain each step. With PS you have to think steps ahead and how to get to your end result. It is over whelming with options.

[@StephenBridgett]

Excellent Nick, thanks
