Terrific, always! Thank you for sharing and keep 'em coming. You don't just post videos for the sake of posting a video. It's great teaching.
It was fascinating look the way you sculpt clouds and the marvelous tool panel. I will try it.
Wow! Very nice. I absolutely love the end result of the picture. This is one technique I will be using on some of my clouds to enhance them. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful technique!
Extremely useful! Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you again! So easy and useful. Great job!
Simple and very useful, thanks!
Super video. I love cloud sculpting!
Great stuff as always Sean, truly appreciate the concise & clear guidance here :-)
This is a great video for me. Thanks for sharing this. The techniques you use are amazing.
Amazing knowledge!
Hi Sean: Thanks for sharing this video. I really like the way that you demonstrated the techniques in a very understandable and logically approach. Keep safe! Keith
I've been using this method many time now. Thanks Sean!
Chris Brown Sweet!
Tremendously helpfull!
Thanks Sean!
well done, thanks
Great content Sean...as usual...:)
Really great video as usual Sean . Have purchased TK Actions and trying to find my way around it !! Your videos make that possible ,thank you
David Gardner right on! Let me know if any questions come up. 😁
At first glance this looks so complicated, but so interesting and useful..Thank you!
I'm hooked Sean; just bought V6 actions and the video's. Looking forward to understanding and using luminosity masks for some astrophotography
Steve Miller Right on. Let me know how it goes!
Sean Bagshaw watching the rapid mask vid right now.
Video 8 showing the rapidmask with tone gradient example is awesome. I've watched a few times and that example really nails the concept. So worth it! Thank you.
Steve Miller Sweet. Yeah, seeing how the selections work on a tone gradient was a real eye opener for me too.
Great stuff Sean!
As usual a very inspiring video Sean. I am
Maciej Markiewicz awesome! Hope you had a great trip. Send me a link to some photos when you can.
Thanks Sean for another amazing tutorial, what part of the workflow would you slot this into?
Dallas Thomas Thanks! You could apply this just about anytime you felt the sky could use some more dimension. I tend to do it earlier in the workflow, similar to what I did in the video.
Thanks Sean.
Another great video, I found this very useful. Subbed 😊
How is the learning curve going from TKV4 to TKV6? I'm debating. I am getting excellent results from using the TKV4. Love this technique. Thanks for sharing. ~ Gary Marshall
I don’t think it’s too hard to move to V6 but it has been a long time since I used V4. Principles are the same...just way more options and efficiency with V6.
Well seen Sean. I missed your videos and look forward to seeing some of your new images edited using the TK Panels.
Hi, Sean
I appreciate your nice technique , quick and powerful. I also like the PS panel you have. Can you point me to where I can get the panel, is it from Academy 64? Steve
Thanks Steve! I use the TK Panel made by my friend Tony Kuyper. I have made the instructional videos for it for many years now. You can get it on my website www.outdoorexposurephoto.com/video-tutorials/video-tutorials/ and Tony's Website goodlight.us/panels-and-videos.html.

Nice effect. As I was watching I thought you would create the dodge or burn layer, then create the mask and apply it to the layer, rather than turning the mask into marching ants and hiding them. Would have provided the ability to further tune the mask if desired later or use mask density to easily alter the effect. Cool anyway.
Thanks, Keith! You could certainly take the approach you outline as well. However, this method allows a little more control over where and how much burning and dodging you get. Dynamically "pushing" paint through a selection is different than simply applying a static mask to a layer. With every pass, you can "push" more paint so you can build up more dodging or burning effect in places you paint more and less where you paint less. With a mask on the layer, you can only get as much dodging or burning as the mask allows because it is static. It's a little hard to explain in writing. Consider this simplified example: if you have pure black on your burn layer but the mask is only letting through 10% of that, then the darkest you can burn is 10%. But with that same mask as a selection, you can continue to add 10% with each pass of the brush and slowly build up the effect while also maintaining the feathering characteristics of the luminosity selection. I think that may still be confusing. Try comparing the two and see.
...and, if you want to further modify the adjustment using the technique I show, you can always reload a selection and do more dodging or burning later. You can also paint with a 50% gray brush to "undo" dodging and burning on the layer. And of course, you can always add a mask to the layer and use that to further fine tune the adjustment.
Thanks its a pit your actions panel does not work with Elements 2020
I am trying to do this in TK7 Rapid Mask and it seems a little different. My output section looks a bit different. Which icon would i choose to load as a selection?
thanks
Hi Brent! Yes, Tony Kuyper had to shrink some buttons in the TK7 so he could fit more features in and many of the buttons now have icons instead of text. In the TK7 the selection button is the one that has the dashed line rectangle that looks like selection lines. Remember that you can hold down the Alt or Opt key and hover over any button to see a description of it. I also go over all the buttons and features in the TK7 Video Guide if you don't have that already. :-)
@@SeanBagshaw thank you so much for getting back to me. I think i kind of have it figured out. Forgot to mention above but love all of your how to videos here.
@@brentguiliano You are very welcome Brent. Thanks for the good words. Best wishes.
Certainly a quick way to lift a flat sky
It’s cool to see but I don’t have all that filters.... I think 90% not of the viewers.
Thanks! Actually, there is quite a large army of TK Panel users around the world and I make the TK Quick Tip videos specifically to support them. If you would like to get the TK Panel it is available here: www.outdoorexposurephoto.com/video-tutorials/video-tutorials/ :-D
