Hi Blake! I am an assiduous follower of your top five channel that I consider of great importance for the development of PS. Your works, your photos are just wonderful. There isn't one I haven't liked so far. Congratulations for the excellent work and I would like to thank you immensely for all your attention and contribution with your expertise in PS. However, I would like to make a comment, but it is by no means a criticism of his splendid work, it is extremely valuable to all his followers. It happens that in some video classes you start the presentation of the work with a certain number of ready-made layers, previously edited, and I particularly find it difficult to know how you arrived at the always magnificent result. Very grateful for your attention to us your followers and for contributing with excellent teachings of the PS.
Thanks so much! A lot of times I don't show everything because the specific tutorial is not about that is about the topic of the tutorial. RUclips videos are meant to be concise and straightforward so I keep them topic specific. My paid courses, however, go into all the deep stuff with full workflows and all the details. I have to have a draw somewhere 😁
@@f64Academy Thanks a lot you too! I will think better in engaging in your PS course briefly. I will Bê in touch with you. With my kind regards. José Carlos.
Multiple excellent tips all explained so well with 2 great examples. Thank you for this Blake. Also enjoyed the Acadia N.P webinar. Your content is always outstanding.
Awesome tips re: the blend mode. Great idea to blend waves. BTW, love the Jordan Pond image. I've only photographed the pond once in calm conditions and sunlight. Generally, I encounter rain, fog or incredible winds at the pond.
Excellent! I have a couple of images on which this technique might work. I had the concept but baulked at all the masking but this will make it much easier. Still not sure that I am sufficiently confident on my composition that I could commit to one shot before sunset and then wait two hours to get the corresponding 'after sunset' shot. I tend to shoot multiple angles/locations to keep looking for a better one.
What is light and blend mode? I had a hard time to follow due to not knowing what this term means and you assumed your audience already knows what light and blend mode is, then you proceed to click away at rapid speed where it is impossible to catch what you are showing, if you were to back up and explain what that mode is and walk you audience through that first it would possibly work much better.
Lighten Blend mode. It's the Lighten Blend Mode. I understand your frustration with my cadence but there's a reason for it. It keeps people engaged. People who talk slow have far less engaging content. But I won't sound fast if you have a stronger understanding of Photoshop. My content is not meant for beginners, it's meant for novice to advanced users and I'm okay with that.
Very interesting!! I will use this when I travel in January
Always learning, always sharing, is what I truly love about you. Thanks always for sharing.
I appreciate that! It is my sincere pleasure, I love that I get to do this for a living.
Brilliant use of the lighten blend mode. Great tip. Thanks!
Thanks for the great information! :)

My pleasure! Glad it was helpful!
Dayum Matey.. Nice one. cheers

I really enjoy your videos. I like to try and imitate your techniques. Sometimes it takes hours but I always learn something!
Glad you like them! That's exactly what I want you to do with them :) Put the knowledge to practice!
Great work,thanks.
My sincere pleasure :)
Amazing trick 👍 Thanks for sharing. I‘ll try this out on my next trip
Woohoo! Give it a shot, its fun, but you definitely need to pre-plan for it.
Multiple excellent tips all explained so well with 2 great examples. Thank you for this Blake. Also enjoyed the Acadia N.P webinar. Your content is always outstanding.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much :)
Excellent instructor for me in Photoshop, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You're very welcome! It is really my pleasure.
Masterful! Thanks so much - again!
My pleasure! Glad you got some info out of it!
That at about 6:00 is the function I’m missing most in ACR but offered by Lr: Match total exposure.
Couldn't agree more!
I used this lighten method for applying rimlights into compositions with camera raw filter! 🤩
That's an awesome use for it! Nice!
awesome love this I will try it on my channel tutorial video.
Great as always! Will the Acadia Webinar be available to watch as I unfortunately missed it due to a call out...
It's available on f64 elite.com for Elite Members. All live events are open to the public, but the replays are archived for Members only.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Perfect .
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you! The fog, ugh, the fog, thankfully it broke for me to snag this one.
Excellent! I have a couple of images on which this technique might work. I had the concept but baulked at all the masking but this will make it much easier.
Still not sure that I am sufficiently confident on my composition that I could commit to one shot before sunset and then wait two hours to get the corresponding 'after sunset' shot. I tend to shoot multiple angles/locations to keep looking for a better one.
I scouted this spot three times in the fog before I knew what I would want for that sunset 😁
Excellent tutorial. Question: Can you use this or a similar technique with a series of waterfall shots to get a silky long-exposure look?
You may be able to. I would just try to shoot it normally with long exposure though. Maybe worth a shot though.
depending on circumstances, might darken or multiply be similarly be found useful? Thanks for another informative video.
Definitely could be, where the darker part of the image is the most important piece, for sure.
What did you do for 2 hours while your camera and tripod were just sitting there at Jordan Pond(my guess).
I was hanging out with my wife, so we just enjoyed the sunset together 😁 it was nice.
works for star trails too, although I rather like to stack, convert the stack to a smart object with stack mode maximum for star trails.
Having a golden hour foreground and blue hour sky is weird to me aesthetically, but I appreciate the tutorial.
Its actually sunset by the time, but it does look like blue hour. It took a while to grow on me, but I kinda like it.
I think it might also work good with aurora pics
It sure could!

Lighten Blend mode. It's the Lighten Blend Mode.
