TK FRIDAY (Reflections of Iceland) Full Edit With TK9 Version 3

[@LarryGoodwin-DEN]

Dave, just started with TK9. Glad to have found your training. I’ve been a big user of the NIK collection in PS. However once you apply a NIK plug-in it is baked in. So if you want to change a layer below you have to delete the NIK layers, make changes and then reapply, I am hoping that TK9 can do most of what NIK does in the area of tone balancing and definition. Then I would be working in native PS without any file conversions. Hope this makes sense.

Incredibly helpful video. Thanks!

Wow, the new version of TK9 is simply fantastic. Editing your pictures has never been easier. If you were ever intimidated by Photoshop, using TK9 will simplify the process for you. This was a great edit showcasing the endless tools available in TK9. Thank you Dave.

Happiness is TK Friday. This is a very helpful demonstration of some of the new V3 features. Extremely helpful. Thanks Dave!!!

Great Work Dave !! I went to Iceland June 2023, it was Amazing !! I better start editing some photos. Cheers.

Thank you so much Dave, your Videos are so very helpful, easy to understand and helped me to love Photoshop, that I have avoided, before I bumped into your tutorials. My editing has improved enormously ever since I watched your videos. Thank you again, you are a fantastic teacher.

Thanks Dave, good use of the new options

[@andrewsan4697]

Another great tute reinforcing ways to use TK9 and draw the eye around the image. Thanks

[@samelogio7441]

Thanks Dave.Another great edit.

Every Friday I learn something new about tk9, thank you

[@allumpfa]

Hi Dave, I really like the changes introduced in V3 which all help in the editing journey, thanks for TK Fridays! I bought the Sean Bagshaw's luminosity mask videos and there was one that particularly caught my eye on the use of the Layer Mask mode where Sean explains creating an adjustment layer and then using it to create the mask and see the effects of trying different options on the image live. Maybe one to show in future TK Friday?

Thanks so much, Dave, learning so much and loving the T K plug-ins

Great lesson, Dave. Thanks.

[@lennartphotography]

Nice edit and photograph. 👌😍

[@danielchaskel2838]

Hi Dave, thank you very much! But this "Adjust with zones" is stunning completely. Until this moment this is my very highlight of TK9-3 @Tony, Sean, It's so brilliant and astonishing. And Dave how you demonstrate this is awesome as always. But there is something more awaiting in V3, I looked at the Zone Colour Grading action of David Tillett Please Dave, can you teach this in some of the next TK Friday lessons? @all, Have a nice week, kind greetings, Daniel

Thanks Dave, your posting are a great help as a learning tool and for processing my images. I have been using TK actions for a very long time, your videos help me to simply it a lot. In this image I am bit bothered by the halo on the mountains mainly on the right upper corner, or is it on my monitor. Thanks for your postings. Asokan

[@carlosestanguiortega6485]

Thanks

[@tonynicolaci3244]

Thanks again Dave. Just a quick question. If you sharpened image in Topaz at the start of an edit, would you still do the texture and clarity increase in CAM RAW?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

I would Tony.

[@carlharsch]

Another wonderful edition! Quick question. In this video, you adjusted your typical B&C of FG and Sky, followed up with the Midtone contrast and lighten of midtones, then the zone adjustments. Aren't these a bit on the redundant path? Could you achieve the same (or similar) results simply skipping the first two methods and going solely with zone adjustments? And, thank you for these weekly full edits. I have learned so much from your teachings!

[@carlharsch]

Edit: Looking solely at the tonal adjustments, not any color grading one might consider doing.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Good question Carl. I don't think they are redundant. I always start with the Balance and Contrast adjustments because they are a good starting point for me to see which direction I want to take an image. The Zonal Adjustments really added to the overall edit, in my opinion, and if they weren't there I would miss them.

[@carlharsch]

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Thank you.

[@bobm2410]

Each Friday, I look at your edit right after the balance and contrast adjustments. I try to see what I would do to the image. Today, the only significant difference between what you did and what I imagined was that I would have done a little (very little) lightening and vibrance adjustments on the forground grasses. But that just goes to show how different people can have different artistic impressions of a photo. Thanks for the TK9 tutorial. There are so many 'control key + button' features in TK9 that I can't remember them. Is there a cheat sheet that summarizes them for easy recall?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Bob. You will find a (TK Button Modifiers PDF) inside the TK9V3 Folder>Documents and Resources>TK9 Button Modifiers.
