Thanks again for a great video. I also appreciate the tool tip comment for the new color grading beta tool. I didn't know you could get the tool tips to show up with the alt key.
Hi, Dave. I wanted to share the way I settle on the best Opacity value. After having gotten control of the Opacity, I hold down the Shift key and then use the up/down arrows to move the Opacity in steps of 10 to find the range of 10 where I can go both too far or too little. This goes very fast and is the main benefit because you quickly find the most desirable range. You can easily confirm the range by toggling up arrow/down arrow. Then I let go of the Shift key and use the up/down keys to move Opacity in single digit increments to find the most desirable setting within the range. If I am at the lower end of the range I use the up key. If I am starting at the upper end of the range I use the down key. . Mostly, I find the midpoint is just fine, so quickly count 1-2-3-4-5 up or down and am done. This is another thing that takes far longer to explain than to do once you are used to it.
Hey Dave, thanks for the tip on the color grading panel. I was hovering and the tool tips were just getting in the way. I did this as you showed here and everything fine. I had sent an email to Tony Kuyper and he said the same thing. I couldn't find how to shut them off and I had forgotten to X out of the color grading panel first and then go to the TK options check list. My bad. All well now.
Thanks again for a great tutorial. You can create a background from a layer by going to - Layer → New → Background From Layer. I always look forward to TK fridays!
Hi Dave. I enjoyed this full edit (as i do on all your videos) I always use the method you used here to remove the halos. For this image however, I also tried the method you used on your "Edge masking for Halo Control" video, but for some reason brushing over the halos had no effect despite a number of brush passes over the halo. I tried the method on a number of different images and had the same issue, so I'm unsure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. The method you used on this image works so much quicker too.
Nicely done transformation of this image Dave...Your tutorials are invaluable...Thanks for all your efforts and showing us the powerful tools within the TK system...Have a great weekend!
Another fabulous full edit Dave. Thank you for this. You continue to teach us new tricks. I really like how you have started to incorporate the Vibrance/Saturation mask. I also like the real-time view created by the Luminosity mask on the soft pop layer. I love TK Fridays!!!
Dave - Your TK Friday series of videos is a wonderful resource for photographers wanting to advance their skill with the TK8 plugin. For someone relatively new to the TK8 plugin, can you recommend a sequence of your videos that progresses from relatively simple to more complex uses of the plugin?
Thank you so much, Arnold! I highly recommend watching the full edits as they will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of TK8 and its functionalities. By going through the edits, you'll become truly familiar with how things work. Additionally, I incorporate a combination of familiar procedures and introduce new elements that I haven't shown before in each unique edit.
thank you as always for another amazing tutorials - one question, do you have any rules of thumb or easy tips/tricks for determining if an image needs more vibrance (using the vibrance mask) - or is it something you just have to experiment with... and "some do, some don't" thanks!
When I sense that an image requires an added touch of vibrance, my typical approach involves first ensuring that the Histogram is visible. Once that's in place, I proceed to select a vibrance mask. I initiate this process by clicking on the initial vibrance option (Vibrance 1), observing the left segment of the Histogram. As I cycle through the available Vibrance masks, I notice the left side of the Histogram shifting progressively to the left. I continue this process until I locate a mask that either makes contact with the leftmost edge (representing the shadow side of the Histogram) or comes close to it. After identifying the suitable vibrance mask, I output it to a Hue/Saturation Adjustment layer. This step offers the flexibility of executing a global saturation boost or employing the target tool to specifically enhance desired colors. Additionally, the Dropdown Menu presents options to work on individual colors separately, or even combine all three approaches for a comprehensive adjustment.
Awesome! First of all, you pronounced my name perfectly! It's amazing how each person's unique perspective can bring out different aspects of a photo through editing. I love it. I'm looking forward to seeing more! Have a great day!
I love the ‘politically correctness’ of your “diversity of creative interpretation”. Thank you, I was just about to express what I feel about this editing, but that would have been judgmental…. And by the way, I love DK tutorials.
Hi Dave, I'm just about to purchase a Leica Monochrom and am wondering whether TK8 can be of benefit for B&W images ? Have you already shown a B&W process ? If not, can you do one soon ? 🙂 🙂
@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly That would be fantastic. Many of the Monochrom images on the internet are flat and dark, or much too contrasts. Some users like Alan Schiller get them just right and that's where I've been and want to be again. :-)
Hi Dave. Since I use the new beta version, saving takes a long time. And this is only if I have saved selections (channels). If I just work without channels then it works perfectly. Would you take a look at this for me? And this is another great video, man. This keeps me sharp and I learn something new every time. Thank you for the awakening you put into it, friend. Antoine. PS. I work with a PC
It might have to do with the way you are setting up your monitor resolution. I would contact Tony Kuyper and he should be able to help you figure out this issue. Here is his Link: goodlight.us/contact.html
Dave, I would like your help. I have contacted Tony through his website contact twice with no respond. I have a problem when I double click the ccx files all I get is a flash. It worked on Windows 10, but not on Windows 11. If you could contact Tony to look into my problem it might help. I had not heard from Tony at all.
Thanks once again. I always look forward to and enjoy TK Friday edits.
Why every new TK friday is so interesting again and again😊?. I love them all !!
Pretty nice! Thanks for sharing the “fix” on the whatchama call it tool. (Color grading!)
Thanks again Dave for a wonderful and informative video. Very much appreciated.
Great image and edit. Always helpful when you exploit the "lesser used" tools/techniques.
Amazing. Thank you very much for your work. Best regards from Switzerland 👏👏
Thank you Dave for this very nice job 👍
You do such a great job of teaching. Thanks for that. Also, I think you are right, the Rocks do like what you have done! ;-)

Great edit on this picture. Death Valley is an incredible place for photography. Always look forward to your Friday videos.
That was a Masterclass Dave. Very well done and many thanks for sharing.
Another great TK Friday, Dave. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks Rach.
Thanks for the tip about turning the "Show Tooltips" off - that color-grading tip make it tough to use the CG tool.

Hi Dave, I'm just about to purchase a Leica Monochrom and am wondering whether TK8 can be of benefit for B&W images ? Have you already shown a B&W process ? If not, can you do one soon ? 🙂 🙂
Yes, it will greatly benefit black and white images. I will need to do some black and white TK Fridays.

My tk panel is too long. It goes well beyond my screen and taskbar. Any solutions?

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Thank you Dave. I appreciate you.
The entire image could benefit from a saturation reduction to about 75% or less.
Stuart we all have our our own artistic expression and vision. Yours is a a saturation reduction to 75% or less and I respect that.
