Wow, great tutorial Paul - look forward to using some of these techniques on the pictures I made I Harris last week 👍

Hi there all... Thank you so much for this great video!!! I would like to ask you if you know (with the same all parameters) and using the ABW driver my black and white images start to come out with blue or green casts... I've been printing incredible and excellent black and white prints and now suddenly my prints comes out with blue or green tinted... same printer, same laptop, same software EPL, same images, never change nothing, color profiles etc... nothing.... I've change all the cartridges and always use all original cartridges and the problem persists. try with my son´s computer installing the printer controllers and its the same... all come with that horrible tones... I don't know how to fix this.... I've tried to install and reinstall all software and drives and doesn't fix anything... im think im going crazy right now with no solution immediately... Please anyone could help me please??? Im running with Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6, Epson Print Layout 1.5.5, Driver version 2.0 Epson SureColor SC-P600 All images loaded with ProPhoto RGB.... as usual!!! Thank you all so much!!! best regards from Portugal... Rui Miguel Cunha www.ruimiguelcunha.com p.s. - Sorry my English is not so good... ehehe

Very informative and useful. Will try it when I next time I process my infra-red images. Thank you for sharing this with us.

This is super stuff. I am pleased to have come across your videos; excellent explanations, not rushing things and very doable. Thanks.

Super explanation, and the shift key for the line from the center to the circle will save my sanity. Thanks.

I would have liked to watch this Paul but the sound was too low.

Well done. Thanks.

Well done...clear, informative, and concise.

So beautiful! I really want to visit someday

HI Paul, just watched your video and i am trying to work through it. I am using ver 13.2 of CR. When i create the grad outside of the picture and select mask option it does not cover any part of the image. It does if you draw the grad through the image. Is there something that needs to be setup to make this show ? - Thanks Paul

Thank you Paul. I would never have got there on my own.

A great explanation, Paul, thank you. I haven't been able to upgrade to the latest version of LR as Adobe tells me that it's incompatible with my current OS; so first things first. All the best. Sandy

Great stuff thank you Paul. Very informative. What I’ve tended to do in these situations is to use the selective adjustment brush on the black areas, then use the blacks slider to bring detail back. The I use the range mask/luminosity to control the area affected.

Such a useful and handy thing to know, thanks Paul...brilliant. If I'd only known about this a few years ago!

Great tip, thanks! Should the opacity and flow always be at 100%

Hi Paul, thanks for pointing this out. There are some images that go "muddy" this will hopefully help me sort the problem. A prosperous 2021.

Thanks for this tip, Paul. And wishing you and yours a 'Guid New Year' - 2021 has to be better than 2020.

How is this not famous

Thank you for another great video Michael. Just to add, you can select ‘guided’, then draw lines along buildings with converging verticals on both the left and right of the image. This will accurately straighten the verticals. A small manual adjustment to ‘Aspect’ might then be needed to preserve the shape of the buildings.

Great presentation Michael!

This is brilliant, thank you very much Paul for this extremely useful tip!!

Paul, just what I needed! So clearly explained. Kevin

Thanks Michael, it certainly adds interest. While you were doing this I started thinking about whether you would finish off the image by sharpening or maybe you'd do that prior to adding the blur layer?

Always struggled with blown highlights , great fix Cheers Have you done any videos of using noise reduction?

What brilliant Tutorial, Thanks

Thanks Paul, another great tip! Cheers.

Very interesting Paul.....thanks..

Thanks Paul

thanks paul, looks a really useful trick. need to go and play with it now,( lightroom that is)!)

Yet again, Aspect 2i shows us something that's very simple ........... once you know it. I don't think I would ever have known this but for this video. I've have never seen the features in any other instructional video/website/manual etc. Brilliant Aspect 2i.

Great information Paul

Brilliant Paul; such a timely reminder of the value of using Curves to peg back slightly blown highlights. It's funny how one forgets such neat little tricks. Thanks again. Stay safe.

Beautiful.

I assume a more complicated method would be to use a curves layer in luminosity mode and paint on a mask selection for your area of interest, Not being adept at PS, I don't know if that would be the same. Thanks.

Would it be more efficient and perhaps technically better to start out with a camera raw smart object rather than create flattened layers and applying camera raw filters to them?

A very useful tutorial, Michael, and a great image to boot! Best regards.

Excellent tutorial. Best explanation I have seen of how to deal with those pesky blighters.

This is really useful, i guess you don't use the radial mask in ACR as you had more control with a brush?

oh thanks for the insight as to how to process B&W images, will take this to my IR work and see if i can make those highlights sing

Thank you for a great tutorial, have learned a lot from this.

Excellent - got my mouth watering for the upcoming B&W processing workshop!

A great tutorial reminding me of many techniques still with me from your printing course - many thanks for that and many thanks for this... Stay safe ar kid. Meant to say to anyone reading this or enjoying the tutorial I can't recommend highly enough Paul and Michael as tutors - the printing course does what it says on the tin...

Absolutely superb, incredibly helpful.

A very useful and informative video without a load of waffle, thanks.

Thanks for the clarity Paul ;) I've always been a bit confused over the difference between these sliders. Best regards.

Thank you - I will remember to do this !

Thanks for this video. Can you let me know when to use ICC profiles? It's always a subject with conflicting advice...

Have been guilty of just taking exposure up so will try this, thank you !

Easy to follow, nothing omitted.

Great tutorial, 🙏
