I was looking forward to having a "TK magic mixer" for black and white, I missed it !!. Now we have it and it is awesome !!!. Looking forward to more videos on TKMM, Dave. Thanks ever so much
Thanks again Dave...This new tool has been another "Game Changer" for me in terms of fine tuning/finessing the image...This "rabbit hole" keeps going and going and going! Have a great week and look forward to the next Magic Mixer tutorial.
This is great! Love how you can get so many ideas and take the image in so many different directions and fine tune it. Looking forward to seeing future B&W edits using the MM tool. Thanks Dave
Thanks Dave. Great tutorial on a great tool. As an aside I was curious if you had any best practices for color separation. For instance, I know the new point color in ACR is great for discriminating and altering various tonal ranges in a color band to downplay/highlight a color. Is this something that can be done in the Magic Mixer or another process using TK9? T Thanks again for all your tutorials. They are a great learning tool.
The Magic Mixer allows you to change luminosity values of different colors, coupled with the Modify Color Luminosity button that is used for fine tuning the Magic Mixer adjustment. Point Color works with Hue, Saturation and Luminance while the Magic Mixer is working color luminosity. The TK9 Plug In for Photoshop has Color Masking, a very powerful color masking creator and it can be used with various Photoshop adjustments. With it you can pin point a color, just like Point Color and then alter the color in any way you like.
As Magic Mixer is not a MultiMask output option if you want to apply colour mask to a Magic Mixer layer you can either create the layer and then make the mask in MM and output it using output as mask option, or make the mask first and output as selection and then create the Magic Mixer layer, the selection will become the mask for that layer.
Also, if having set up a Colour Mask on a layer you can then use TK9 Multi-Mask Edit BlendIf to be even more precise in targeting a specific colour. Testing on a test image made up of colour swatches of full range of hues and lightness I was able to isolate an adjustment more precisely using this approach than with Lightroom's point colour on same test image.
Hello Dave, I've been using the TK Magic Mixer for a couple of weeks for black and white image conversions. After viewing this video, I will experiment with color images. Cheers!
With the Brightness value held constant, all sliders will move when I move one slider. Therefore, all colors will change when one color is modified. So if I want to modify multiple colors, will I have to create multiple Magic Mixer layers, or create multiple color masks?
Here’s a thought. By using the layer mask that comes with the converted image I wonder if we could get an image that contains B&W and colour? For example, if the leaf was selected and filled with black would it remain in colour while the background goes B&W?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 😊 While I appreciate its usefulness, I wouldn't have been able to afford it if it was 4x or 5x of its current price. Thanks to TK, his pricing is right for folks like me.

Thanks ever so much
I have started to experiment with the Magic Mixer. This wonderful tutorial gives me some idea on how to really use it. Thanks Dave!!!
Thanks, Dave, for another excellent tutorial.
Bruce thanks for the Super Thanks!
A great lesson, Dave. This is a great new tool from Tony. I look forward to learning more ways to use it.
Definitely a great addition to TK 9. Looking forward to future videos

Used the link you've provided to purchase the TK Magic Mixer panel. Thanks also for this tutorial on how this plugin can be used. 🙏🏽
You're very welcome.

Excellent, Dave. I really like the resizing of the Magic Mixer panel.

@@datstheone1 Thanks, I will try this.

Cheers Dave, great start, look forward to more. I’m away to play!
Very nice! I am also looking forward to more MM videos. Especially for B/W's.
This is informative, thank you Dave, looking forward for some more videos of the magic mixture from you 😊
Interesting, I'll have to experiment a bit later. Look forward to what else you can show us.
Looking forward to future videos on this great tool.
Thanks Dave
Thanks Dave! Love it.
Dave, that´s great!
Very good Fave.
Thanks

It will Keith. I will be showing some cool things you can do with selections in future videos.
Thanks dave i may i ask where you got the image of the eye
Tony gave me the image of the eye.
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Thanks Dave just love the artiness of the image
Thanks for the video. Tell Tony that he sells his product too cheap, his tk9 is worth 4-5 times the amount he sells it for.
nooooooooooooooooooooooooo! 😊

First !
