Thanks Dave - another great video that I'm sure will be put to good use in my workflow. Regarding Linear profiles. I wasn't sure about them to start with but I persevered and now I use them all the time. Like you, (afterall, you taught me LOL) I begin with AUTO then a few tweaks before heading into Color Efex 4 where I start off with PRO CONTRAST then perhaps some other tools if I think the image would benefit from them. Thanks again Mike from NE Scotland.

Hi Dave… the paint through selection is just fantastic in the tk8. Thank you for the tutorial..👍🏻 PS.. I use my camera’s linear profile & find colour grading a little easier..

In Photoshop, when painting with a brush at 50%, particularly when masking an adjustment layer, I use the “Fade Brush Tool …” in the Edit menu to diminish or increase the effect. Paint on mask at 50%, then Command-Shift-F or Control-Shift-F and tune the stroke with the slider. You can do this painting at any opacity, but 50% allows you to “fade” the complete range between 0% to 100%.

I acknowledge this was TK8 tutorial, but back in Lightroom I have a tip. I find the blue saturation slider in the Calibration tab has the strongest effect over all. But it has the side effect of making skies too blue, so I use the HSL tab to slightly reduce the saturation of the blues until the sky is just right.

I find that I have better results and save time if I go straight to TK8 skipping any processing in LR., in fact starting with a s flat a file as possible. It took some discipline to not tweak at all in LR, but I get some surprise results I really like and once I got on top of the learning curve, thanks to you, OK, I am overstating a little, I like my results better.

I love the Linear Profile for my Nikon D7100 and love it - Are you from Southwestern PA?

Great tutorial as usual. I am using the linear profile for my Olympus EM1 II in ACR but I find even after clicking auto the image is very dull or flat. I can boost the contrast and a few other of the adjustments to bring it up pretty well. I do think it looks more realistic than the standard Adobe color profile. Also, my workflow is to start with my raw file in DxO PhotoLab4 and then export a DNG into ACR, do some adjustments, and then go to Photoshop where I may use plugins from Topaz, On1, the TK8 panels, and the original Nik collection. That's probably overkill. I'm still struggling with the TK panels. I marvel at your facility of using it.

I am having good luck using linear profiles with my landscape images. It takes a bit longer to get the image to where I want it, but it does feel like I have more latitude in the adjustments.

Another great video Dave thank you. I didn’t know the TK8 version was a free upgrade from the TK7 version. How do I upgrade it? I bought it over the summer. Thank you in advance.
