Excellent edit. Thanks for sharing

WOW! excellent use of the Magic Mixer and the workflow using the TK Panel, thank you very much! every TK Friday is a master class.

Wow! For those who enjoy B&W photography this opens up so many creative opportunities, thank you Dave for showing us this work flow! It addresses my question about using the Magic Mixer tool to target specific sections of an image. And thanks Tony I love the vignette tip “No Darks Anything”which gives us even more control over our vignettes!

Excellent, excellent! I always learn something when I follow, step by step, your edits, but this one was full of techniques that I didn't know. And thank you for another B&W example; it's very motivating to work on something that I use for my own photos. Thanks again, it's so inspiring to be introduced, week after week, to the massive creativity of Photoshop via the TK plugins.

You really picked it up a notch. Love it. Rees

Dave, I am super happy how the edit turned out as well. What a great artistic approach to this one! I saw the same "depth blur" video that you did. I was going to ask you about it on your next edit. Well, you brought it up and it kinda blew my mind. Super cool. I was going to ask you if you could still intersect a Mids 3 and subtract out a sky or foreground channel as well. So the layer mask would have Mids 3, either sky or foreground and a depth map. So my general question is centered around how many intersects can be made. I think it is unlimited? I like the idea of providing the viewer with depth in the image. Well done! Thank you sir.

Dwight you can intersect a depth map with a Mids 3. You can keep making any type of calculation you need.

Super nice. Love the ability to selectively convert to BW. Thanks!

Thanks Dave. Another informative lesson. I really like what you did here. Would this work if we were to put the Magic Mixer and Color Luminocity pairs in their own groups. Then only apply the mask to the group. This would eliminate the need to repeat having the same mask on more than one layer. I prefer limiting reusing masks if possible.

Sam that will work. Happy Editing!

❤very difficult!

Thanks

I own the mixer panel but haven’t spun it up yet. I will give it a try.

I doubt if I'd go through all those Magic Mixer steps on any of my images. Nevertheless I learned quite a bit here. I especially liked the use of depth map to separate parts of the image.

It really depends on how you want to craft your image. A lot of times I just do a single conversion and am happy with the results. This technique is great when you want more than a single conversion can give.

@@thejoyofeditingwithdavekelly Despite what I said about the Magic Mixer steps, I'm going to try a similar editing process on one of my IR images. Even if it's not particularly appropriate, I'll have it anchored in my bag of tricks.

Hello Dave: I am not getting the depth map to appear when I Hold CTRL while clicking on the Depth map button in the Multi Mask section of TK9. Here what I did next: I opened Neurofilter, Selected Depth Blur, then left-clicked on the check box next to the word Beta. I clicked on cancel. I again did the Hold CTRL and Clicked on Depth Map button. A dialogue box appears. At the bottom of the dialogue box is a Check box that says Depth Map only click here. A depth map appears on main screen not in the channel section. The picture I am using is a .pds file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gary

When you held CTRL the second time were you clicking on the Target Button in the TK Multi-Mask Panel? When you CTRL Click that Target Button you should see the depth map. Next you have 3 options on the Multi-Mask Panel choose (Save as channel only). I hope this helps.
