the second part I titled the same except part 2.
I'll probably update it when I can in the next few weeks except work might prevent that

Hy Dylan - great stuff mate - I have followed it step by step in one of my photos to get the whole thing into my head - wasn't hard and very effective. There's one are I am little fuzzy about that I'll need a it of your help please.

The last part (sharpening), I did manage to create the new high pass layer; however I am unsure how to create a mask from this point (in this layer) and then smoothen the parts I don't want sharpened in red.

Would you please help? My next task is to go through the fridge tutorial which should be easier to follow after this one. Also have posted part 2 yet (wondering if I have missed it somehow).

Thaks a ton again...Cheers DJ

dJ, in the high pass filter layer, you can create a mask from the one of the icons at the bottom of the layers panel (by default it sits on bottom right of the page) - there's a line of little icons there and from memory the layer mask one is the second from the left. In the last image in the tute, it's got an unlabelled arrow going to it.
part 2 is around but all of the stuff is in the fridge tutorial anyway

thanks for reading!

Hi Dylan - thanks...

I must admit I am acting quite dumb now

...

I have created the mask which shows as a blank square on the layer. Where I am getting stuck is how do I from here work on it - i.e. how do I smooth the areas I don't need sharpening ('masking out roughly in red' as per the tutorial)??

Thanks heaps...

**Dylan & Marianne** · 01-12-2010, 7:40pm

no worries -
when you have the blank square , it the square is white, that means that all of the effect is "on"
when you press B for brush, change the brush to black at say, 20% opacity and fill, then paint away (making sure that you're painting on the mask and not the actual image)
you should see the square for the layer mask start to turn shades of gray where you've been painting - those darker areas are where the effect is slowly being erased.
if you want to actually see what you've erased, press "\" and the erased areas will show up as red. (press \ again to remove the effect)

Thanks Dylan
There are several different layers there that I haven`t been doing and have wanted to have control over
I have fallen short in the processing side of things and this will help me to step up again
I have been watching your work on flickr for the last year and appreciate your spirit of adventure to get to a position to take many of your shots ... must be exillerating at times !!!
Anyway the colour work, masking out excessive sharpening and the dodge and burn layers will make a big difference to some of my images
I have come to realise that the biggest difference in quality work is in the processing after spending the last year and a half trying to make the difference with the camera
I have improved my camera skills greatly though
Also just being able to see what you started with and what you ended with is encouraging
What program are you using to create the the tutorial dylan ???
Thanks
John

**Dylan & Marianne** · 02-12-2010, 12:32pm

Thanks a lot john

didn't really use anything to create the tutorial .
I went through processing a picture from start to end and along the way, I had photoshop in background, screenshotted the relevant steps and used some crude brushes to paint in the red stuff.
I also had word open in another window for the text. Very low tech lol

**gcflora** · 03-12-2010, 12:41pm

I've got word in another window but I can't see how it helps?

**Dylan & Marianne** · 03-12-2010, 7:54pm

because that WORD is the final WORD !

**perla** · 04-12-2010, 10:41am

**Chinook** · 22-03-2011, 4:11pm

Hi Dylan,

Thank you very much for your very useful post, I have very little PP skills & they go right over my head. The way you have explained things & showed pictures & diagrams have helped a thousandfold. I want to buy the full version of lightroon and after reading this I might. Dylan this is very much appreciated & I cannot wait to have a look at No 2. Cheers

**Dylan & Marianne** · 23-03-2011, 11:08am
