This week I show how to apply a sky mask to your photo and then using the subtraction method develop an additional mask to take care of those pesky glowing portions in the sky mask.

This is the best method that doesn’t make that transition look fake. Thank you very much!

If you invert the second sky mask, you effectively combine the original sky mask with the "cleanup" mask, so you don't need two separate masks that need adjusting individually

Thanks for the reminder. I have actually done it both ways. But in some instances I keep them separate to have just a touch more control for the areas blended in with the leaves/trees. I know that seems like duplicate work and I suppose it is. I am old fashioned that way at times. But I sure do appreciate you reminding me of that technique. Thanks.

@@easternshorephotoinstructionI have been doing the invert technique to combine the sky and sky clean up masks, but I think it does cause some haloing. I like the idea of keeping them separate so you can play with both to minimize haloing think. I will give it a try. Thanks!

@@apeel2008 yeah..that is why use a couple different techniques to mask sky. I find the deciding factor is what I am trying mask around and how big the dynamic range is I am try to affect. It is a moving target !?!

As always, finding these latest tutorials so informative. I was hoping you might cover the intersection tool and believe you are now planning to do that. Thank for all your effort.

Great suggestion! Yep..that was on my list of next video. Just trying to find the right photos to show the best example of the different intersections. Thanks for the comment!

Is there a way to save this sky mask as some sort of a sky preset, or are the subjects butting up in the sky affected differently to where this method has to be applied photo to photo? Excellent tutorial.

@easternshorephotoinstruction 9 ай бұрын

Yes, there is a way to make a preset of a similar action. This method I have been using has been refined by another KZfaq photographer. If you review this link, he can show you how to complete the present build. It is not 100% "the best" method all the time. But it is a start to automation. Here is the link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8iZpc6IyMqdeWw.html . Brian and I have talked about this last week. It looks like a good method to use most of the time. Let me know if you need any help with it. I have set it up for a few friends and I have gotten very familiar with it.
