Podcast #124 - Luminosity Masks - Interview with Tony Kuyper

[Marko]

This podcast just went live and for those of you that like to play in photoshop/gimp.....this is game changing stuff.

You know how you see some images that are perfect (They just sing loudly and are 'error' free)....many of the best photographers are using these techniques to make their prints sing. There is nothing 'fake' about this technique. It's pure math and it allows for incredible precision....you don't need to know anything about math though.

Selections and tonal changes are way way way more precise and you NEVER ever have to worry about feathering the selection so that it looks natural. LUMINOSITY MASKS ARE SELF FEATHERING :highfive:

As I tend to photos with huge differences in dark and light areas, this podcast is manna for me. I spent some working on this photo using several luminosity masks and must say I'm impressed with the results. Thank you so much for sharing this. Tony's tutorials are easy to follow and very detailed, so beginners and more advanced PS users can benefit. Highly recommended.
