    Obligatory sincere compliment followed by nitpicky criticism: Tom, I've loved your content for years and you've been a huge inspiration in growing my interest in my favorite hobby (landscape photography), but as a designer, I have to say the text/"body copy" in your book needs to be reworked if that sneak peek at 1:58 is accurate! The secrets to highly legible, beautiful typography are roughly comparable to photographic composition:
    1. Don't be afraid of white space; there's nothing wrong with only using 50% of a page for text and leaving the remaining 50% around it be nothing but blank, white paper.
    2. Aim for line spacing that allows readers' eyes to naturally flow from line to line (usually around 1.5x font size).
    3. Let text breath by making letter spacing/"tracking" -just- wide enough that characters don't unnaturally overlap.
    3. When you have a lot of text, use two columns to chunk text into more manageable line lengths (usually around 50-70 characters per line, though it's not a strict rule).
    I'd even be willing to design the book's text for you (whole lot of free time with, well, the pandemic), but I'm guessing you want to produce the whole thing yourself top-to-bottom, so if you want a sample or two as a demonstration of what I'm talking about, don't hesitate to get in touch and let me know.
    On the note of the video, tip #5 is something I've never thought of doing in Photoshop, yet it's so simple... Definitely going to give it a try in the near future.

    Tip: press crl + L to bring up levels. Crl + M to bring up curves. Crl + U to bring up hue/saturation.
    And if you don't want to get a plugin for Photoshop, there is a way to luminosity mask built-in. To do it, 1) duplicate the layer. 2) make the adjustments you want to that duplicate layer. 3) right click on your adjusted layer and go to blending options 4) adjust the layer "blend if" settings, especially the underlying layer settings, to make it so your adjustments don't affect anything you don't want them to.

  • @Mark-qn9xl
    @Mark-qn9xl 4 года назад

    Good to see LR put into the shade. Luminosity masking in all its different varieties certainly allows for subtle and targeted adjustments with its natural feathering. I have been using the technique since I read Katrin Eismann's "Masking & Compositing" in 2005. I developed actions initially based on Tony Kyper's articles then I got his TK panel as its gave a visual representation of the selected areas plus much quicker. As CS6 was my last photoshop version I have developed new techniques to achieve the same results. I use actions (macros) in Affinity Photo to generate luminosity masks plus I utilise their Blend Range option.
    Now that I use Capture One Pro as my main editor I use their luma range tool to achieve the same result as that plus their selections based on colour ranges fulfill most of my needs.
    I know you were just demonstrating however I always use a very low flow, 5%, and build up from there as even within the same tonal range you may prefer different brightness levels.
    Its good to learn different techniques yet it still requires the eye of an artist to put them into effect. Love your work.

    Get some of that PS love. Nick will be proud. At 30:56 those snow sequences turned out good. The full edit is going to be something 🌨️❄️🌨️ Hard to believe that's California.

    Hi Thomas and everyone else who's watching, there's a way in Lightroom to use Luminosity Masks without needing to buy the plugin which you used for Photoshop in this video. At this point I want to say I've been an avid follower of your youtube channel and it's always great to get inspiration as well as see the moments behind the scenes when the motivation isn't there which can sometimes be lost when people see all these wonderful images from great artists on instagram and through publications.
    Having not used the Photoshop plugin, I can't really compare the two, however the process shown / described can be achieved within Lightroom using in built luminosity mask functions - there may be more advanced features the plugin does which is better than Lightroom. With this not being a sponsored video (that I'm aware of) and the software plugin retailing at approx $40, the option to do this in Lightroom, given you are already paying the monthly subscription to Adobe should be highlighted.
    I have no affiliation with Adobe or anything against Lumenzia - I just think people should be aware that similar things can be done in Lightroom. I guess what I'm saying is know the software you already own before buying more. Same goes for lens and bodies!
    Stay safe and enjoy editing! (No excuses now!)
    Kind regards Josh (instagram: @joshhullphotography)

    Great video Thomas. I too am intimidated by Photoshop so videos like these that are simple to understand and easy to follow are great. Thanks so much.
    Ok as for the meltdown.....how on earth do you guys keep a straight face! Love it!
