[@dndparks]

Worth every cent! Thanks for the promo code...

[@aloislemberger8365]

I look forward to every friday,then it's tk- friday!

[@rlfisher]

Another masterclass. In my own workflow, when painting through a mask (typically dodge & burn), I often save the selection as a channel so I can quickly get back to it if I want to do more touch-up later.

[@1964ilovebears]

Thanks Dave. Between you and me, TK panel has sooooo many variables that it sometimes overwhelms me 😊. Don't misunderstand me, it's great. It is just that my life has only 24/7 (laugh!!!). I need another life to cover everything. By the way, this Friday video using levels and the adjust layer mask has been AWESOME !!!

[@gaperklake]

Yes indeed, Dave. Another very cool TK session. Thank you,

[@alankefauver6187]

The breadth of tools available in the TK8 is truly extraordinary. Learning them all is a full time job!

[@cheo3011]

Great job Dave! I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the newer M1 chip and reloaded Photoshop and the TK8 panel, and now everything is blazing fast. The edits are much easier for me with no beach ball; no lag at all. The difference is night and day! Now I'm revisiting your other tutorials to apply the techniques with this newer machine and it's amazing. Thanks again Dave.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

That's great news Jose.

[@curtislewis3555]

I just updated my Mac as well to the M1 ultra. Such an improvement over my 2014 iMac.

[@jody1622]

Dave you really hit it out of the park with this one! Thank you.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Wow, thanks!

[@srg3798]

Dave, your mind is so brilliant, it actually shone a little into my dim one. Today I followed along using a blah photo of a fern in the woods and transformed it into something very cool. Thank you.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You’re welcome SRG. That is awesome and part of the joy of editing.

[@pauloricardoferreira2841]

Thanks, Mr. Kelly. You always bring us a masterclass! Best regards from Rio de Janeiro/Brazil.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You are welcome Paulo. Greetings from Pennsylvania, USA...

[@donaldbernhardt]

Wonderful training! Every week something new.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Donald. It’s such a cool plugin and you can do so much with it.

[@donaldbernhardt]

I couldn’t see the photos being candidates for much improvement but you really did enhance them.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

@@donaldbernhardt Thanks Donald.

[@emilebaudot904]

Very nice work indeed. I’m a huge fan of the increase contrast mode in the curves/levels adjustment layer and using the screen/mode to adjust lights & darks. However, I tend to paint the adjustment through a selection but I am very impressed with the method you demonstrate today - letting the mask ‘take the strain’. I have also found using the increase contrast mode, together with a edge mask on the layer, is excellent for targeting edge detail. Thank you Dave… your tutorials are invaluable.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Emile and thanks for sharing your tips.

[@jhmnieuwenhuis]

Excellent tutorial, thanks so much !! Looking forward to next Tk Friday

[@keithpinn152]

Hi Dave: Sorry for the delay in responding to this video. I really enjoyed your approach to enhancing images that have already been 'finished'. I learned a great deal from this video. Keep well. . . Keith

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Keith.

[@gordroberts53]

Thanks Dave, I have hundreds of images that would benefit from a revisit. This was very helpful.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Glad it was helpful!

[@martingjsmith]

Another excellent tutorial - thanks Dave.

[@geoffreykingston4866]

Another great video and love the use of the blend modes; simple, effective and no fuss. Masking has never been easier with the TX8 Panel. Thanks for another Friday treat.

[@keithsimpson9754]

Another very informative video Dave, especially where you use the mask the mask icon.

[@williamcollins5417]

Just fantastic....thanks Dave...

[@samelogio7441]

Thanks again for another fantastic TK Friday tutorial. Lot’s of information and worth watching a second time.

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

You always have great tips and techniques in your tutorials. Thanks Dave!

[@micheldominique9583]

Hello Dave a new very informative tutorial with further novelties, like what a photo is never completely finished.👍

[@TomStrazulla]

Another amazing tutorial combining and reinforcing many of the previously covered techniques. A real keeper.

[@joshuasimmons6155]

Haven’t even watched the video yet but it gets an automatic LIKE. I know high quality content is en route. Thank you for all you do for the community.

[@davidpederson8845]

I struggle with precision masking and usually throw my hands up in frustration after struggling with it. The TK8 masking lessons you have been providing lately really simplify the process and are just what I need to reduce the stress will getting great results. Thank you!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You are welcome David. I am constantly working to get the best out of the TK8 plugin for Photoshop and in the easiest way possible.

[@nigelbuxton3762]

Very informative; I learnt a lot. Thanks.

[@DB-wx1zs]

This is soo cool. Thank you for teaching us this!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

My pleasure.

[@jmay1954]

Wow love your classes

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thank you! 😃

[@tomp.7908]

Great as always.

[@BatuBerkokPhotography]

Thank you so much Dave for all these great videos. I’ve been trying to learn how to use the TK tools for years but I could never wrap my head around it fully until I started watching your videos. I look forward to TK Friday like I am looking forward to the newest episode of a really hot TV show. Please keep them coming. You have reinitiated my passion for editing photos using sophisticated tools like this one. If I may suggest just one thing, sometimes it would be great if you can zoom into the section of the photo you are working on because even when I am watching it on a very large TV, it is sometimes hard to follow. Once again, thank you very much for all your amazing videos.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You're welcome Batu and thanks for the tip on zooming.

[@mikeswoods]

Another great video Dave...... The "layer mask mode" & "mask the mask" are just so useful when editing 👍

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Mike. I totally agree. Layer Mask Mode and Mask the Mask are superb tools.

[@carlosestanguiortega6485]

Thanks

[@merleroberts5551]

Thanks!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Merle.

[@harveyshandler806]

Thanks so much David for your TK8 Videos. Without them I would be totally lost. I have a question. Is there a way to use TK8 to add structure or texture to specifically masked areas.?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You’re welcome. Yes you can. There is a Clarity Action in the TK8 Combo or CX panel and you can combine a mask to it. You can also use the Texture and Clarity adjustments by using the Camera Raw Filter and apply a mask to that. On top of that you can use third party plugins like Topaz Studio 2, Luminar Neo/Ai or On1 and apply masks to those as well.

[@harveyshandler806]

Thanks Dave. Perhaps in a future video you can show us how that would work

[@allumpfa]

Your great videos make me appreciate the strength of the TK8 panel for my post processing requirements. Would you say that the techniques in this video are more for enhancing finished images and that the use of your color grading technique is for the initial image edits although not a hard and fast rule?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Peter. The first part where I used the Luminosity Masks for Shadows, Mid Tones and Highlights was but all of the techniques can be used on any type of processing. You could definitely substitute the Color Grading Tool for the Multiply and Screen. The Multiply and Screen are great for general Lightening and Darkening. But when you need to incorporate altering coloring and contrast the Color Grading Tool works wonderfully.

[@Wimpieseigen]

Exellent

[@patrickkeeley2675]

Thanks!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thank you Patrick

[@srg3798]
