I recently received an email from Tony Kuyper, the
creator of those highly useful Luminosity Masks,
telling me that he's updated the actions so that they
create a curves adjustment layer along with the
masks. This will save you the trouble of having to load
the mask and creating the adjustment layer.
Tony's updated a couple of pages of his tutorial to reflect the changes in the actions. To learn more, visit this page, and this page |
||||||
|

Also from Tony is a new tutorial and a new set of
actions. His latest is a tutorial for what he calls
Saturation Masks. These are very cool ways of
controlling and enhancing saturation in you images.
Like the Luminosity masks, these give you a great
deal of control over your images. The image to the left
shows a before and after. The before is a "finished"
image of a scanned slide. I was never really happy
with it because I just couldn't get it to look as good as
the original slide. By using Tony's masks I was able to
easily tweak the image until it had that "Velvia pop"
again.
Check out Tony's new tutorial here.

Last I heard from Jay at Triple "D", there is still room in
my Jan. 12-15 Winter Wildlife workshop. Last June,
the Triple "D" received two Snow Leopard cubs and
they'll be great to photograph in the snow. Last winter,
this bobcat gave us a great session.
If you're interested, contact Triple "D" at 406-755-9653 or visit their website |

I'm still working on adding workshops for 2008. Right
now, Don Mammoser and I still have openings for
Colorado wildflowers in July, Slot
Canyons and
Monument Valley in Sept., and Zion National
Park in
late October. You can visit my workshop page for more details.
I do have a few other workshop possibilities in the pipeline. I'll be letting you know, or just keep an eye on my workshops page. |

If you remember, last month I mentioned a piece I did
for Outdoor Photographer magazine's Scenic Subaru Country ad campaign. Well,
it's on line. You can see it here.
Be sure to enter to win stuff. I'm guessing I won't be able to enter. Oh well. |

That's it for now. Back to preparing for the upcoming
Canadian Rockies workshop and to making an
attempt at finishing the bathroom remodel.
No, really, I may actually get it done. Someday. |
