[@davidbee8648]

i ALWAYS learn from you on TK Friday. Thank you very much.

[@eoslove2022]

PART TWO,,,perfect. Mask calculations make this panel so special.

[@samelogio7441]

Thank you Dave for another great video.

[@swashy58]

great explanation Tony .....

[@brooklynrican64]

This was very cool to watch. Thanks

[@StephenEhrlichPhotos]

Last week you posted part 1, I had to watch that tutorial a few times, and with guided practice (basically following along with your tutorial), I learned some new techniques. I expect to watch parts of this tutorial a few time and I fully expect to increase my Photoshop masking skills. I am looking forward to mastering the new skills you explained. Of course, I look forward to each and every new tutorial you post, all of your lessons are informative and instructive. THANKS!!!

[@robertvanmaele471]

Learned a lot on how to use the TK8 masking tools!!! Thanks!!!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

You're welcome Robert.I am so glad to hear that the video helped.

[@dougdavidson9227]

Excellent ... I shoot wildlife and birds and this little gem is exactly what I was looking for. Big help thanks Dave

Thank you for the Super Thanks.

Great part 2

[@gaperklake]

Perfect, Dave. Thank you,

[@lucmaladry1866]

Thank you so much Dave !

[@srg3798]

At the risk of being tedious and repetitive, you have outdone yourself again Dave. Thanks. I will have to rewatch this because some persistent deficiency in my brain allows me to understand but not right away be able to reproduce the same results.

[@Mimiclobster]

Sounds like me.

[@patrickkeeley2675]

Thanks!

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thank you Patrick.

[@chepo1956]

Amazing! Just amazing! Dave you are a master at this. I love my TK8 panel and these tutorials will help me take my editing to a whole new level. Your teaching style is so down to Earth man! So easy to follow. Thanks again.

[@dennisjones3016]

Fantastic tutorial. The TK8 panel is an incredible artistic tool.

[@jhmnieuwenhuis]

Excellent video. Again learned something again on TK Friday.

[@joseluisgonzalezvillanueva361]

Muchas gracias Dave, este es el primer tutoríal tuyo que veo y me parece muy didáctico y fácil de seguir, aunque no domino el Ingles. En España sigo desde hace años a tu colega Antonio Prado y he aprendido mucho con el, pero desde ahora también me suscribo a tu canal ya que me parece muy ¡interesante!, un saludo.

[@dreyUni]

I would start with simple basic adjustments - curve auto (find light and dark colors), than move to fine tuning. Even the object selection will be much more precise after that.

[@GuyRaymond_GR]

I watched your 2 videos on masking and the one on color grading with selections and I learned a ton today! I really like the way you leverage the color grading new option on TK8. Great work and thanks for helping us!

[@lookforbeauty1964]

Brilliant !!! Thanks ever so much, Dave.

[@rickjacobi2573]

I love the TK8 and love it even more and understand it more because of your instruction Dave. You always do a great job of teaching. Keep in up. Thank you.

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks Rick

[@keithpinn152]

Great video Dave! I am learning so much from your detailed explanation of how and why you certain tools. Keep creating and sharing this type of content as it is invaluable to our learning/understanding of the TK8 panels. Cheers, Keith

[@emilebaudot904]

Great session Dave.....! Another useful tip using Tony's masking engines... especially the B&W simulation mask. Keep 'um coming Dave..

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks, will do!

[@DeMorcan]

Thanks for mentioning the Black Friday Deal again. I finally bought it for myself. I had been suggesting it for people I tutor as it make Photoshop easier. Finally got tired of laying down my pen to do the keyboard shortcuts and got it to replace an old masking version.

[@serankko]

Awesome video... PLEASE keep them coming...

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

More to come!

[@weisskm]

Great tutorial - thanks.

[@felixrivero1178]

Very successful use of the TK for masking, I always enjoy and learn with TK Friday, thank you David. This is a Guanaco native to south American.

[@tomp.7908]

very useful

[@ShaileshSharmasolan]

Learning lot of new stuff, thank you so much Dave 🙏

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

My pleasure!

[@jefferymellon530]

Dave could you do a video that would target interior windows of a home? I do Real Estate photography and would like some help enhancing windows with Luminosity masks. I appreciate your consideration.

[@felixrivero1178]

Very Successful!!! Excellent use of the TK mask, I always enjoy TK Friday and learn new things, thank you David. The animal is a Guanaco native to South America

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thank you Felix and thanks for the Animal name.

[@fraldi00]

I tried downloading the practice image, but it wasn't available. Could you please restore the practice image again ? thank you very much.

[@joetagg1961]

That was a great tutorial !! Thanks for sharing. How much of that can be done in TK 7 ?? I don’t have TK8 yet, I don’t want to spend the money until I get the hang of TK7.

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

The animal it is called: Guanaco ... belongs to the family of camels... lives in an area called Patagonia, in South America: Argentina & Chile share this area! Cheers! :)

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

Thanks for the info on the animal Gabriel...

[@wildpatagoniafilms16]

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly anytime mate! ;)

[@srg3798]

Dave, I just got a potential money making idea for you. You could charge a little extra (I hope) for creating a transcript of your video, maybe even include a screen capture along the way. People like me would then pay you for being able to download and print the results. (Hopefully, there won't be giant, paper wasting empty spaces between the photos and the text.

[@bruceneeka]

1. So many times said "critical" "attention" "success" - TV shop technique?))) ... 2. To my liking you destroyed grass with overgreening, on original it looked much more rich in different colours. 3. Still very useful to learn

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

I over did it just so it would show up well on the tutorial. of course, you should adjust it to your taste. But at least you see the concept.

[@davidroby8493]

The animal is a guanaco.

[@Mousyfox]

Hi Dave, I want to ask about file size. The resulting files on my hard drive seem out of all proportion. The Jordon Elliot image begins as a 2.6mb jpeg and ends up as 189.82mb psb file?? Am I missing something? I did the same process to one of my own files, which began as a 19.52mb DNG file and that ended up as a 245mb tiff file. That's a huge difference. I've even got files that have exceeded 2gb with this process. What am I doing wrong?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

File sizes do build as you keep adding layers. I don’t believe you are doing anything wrong. If you were to flatten the image the file size would reduce considerably. If you have a lot of hard drive storage big files are no problem. For me, once I know I am happy with an edit I flatten it to save on hard drive space. But I know I have lost those layers for good. I don’t flatten until I am 100% satisfied with my edit.

[@Mousyfox]

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Thanks for that Dave. I’ve not flattened my images up to now. But I’ll be looking at doing so in the future now I’ve seen the sizes. I guess below 400mb is OK for the very best images but they will have to be really special to go over 1gb. It was the Exploring Options files that were over 2gb. Were yours the same?

[@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly]

@@Mousyfox it really depends on the image and how many layers you have and if some of those layers are pixel layers. I am sure I had images at 2gb or over. When you flatten an image and use a lossless format like TIFF you won’t lose any quality even if you are coming from a 2gb image down to a 100mb image. It is the layers that are causing the file size to increase. When you export an image as a tiff or jpeg you are baking all of the layers into the image and the file size will rapidly decrease. In other words a 2gb unflattened file will have the same image quality as a 100mb TIFF flattened file. The only reason not to flatten is if you are not quite sure your edit is finished or if you might want to go back and revisit that image later.

[@Mousyfox]

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly I’ve discovered that it’s the smart objects that bump up the file size more than masks. That’s why the tree on the beach image ended up so large.
