I completely ejected from me memory how to mask. I finally sat down and went through the slides and I was like "ITS THAT BUTTON YOU IDIOT" so don't worry haha. I'm working on some more simple face swaps right now but I saw your awesome gif I will try soon.

Thought for sure jpg, it was from my phone. perhaps the error. Want to continue here or facebook?

Weird no idea why black photo uploaded I tried again and it is black again 

Difficulty level in moving far right guy over some? Hello it’s been a while! 

Also I was trying to liquify a level layer there.. face palm. But the other notification yeah. I haven’t gotten it again but I also haven’t looked for updates. I will look today

Oh yay. Thank you I will try that. Nothing since the restart, no pop ups,  but I haven’t checked drivers yet 

aww man. Alright I'm guessing I have a problem I can't ignore. Looking forward to your help and guidance uhggg.

I hit “okay” and shut down 

HP S20031 monitor, dell xps  core i7 8th gen 

I hit “okay” 

So....

Now what? 

ah yes it seems to be working.. I don't have anything in mind for this photo in particular for that.. I was just playing around. Some of my landscape photos always tend to have hot spots from the sun reflection on the foliage or whatever and I'm just looking to tone down the very brightest areas. naturally. the shadow highlight filter gives it all an unnatural orange glow if pushed too far but lightly I like how it looks. again maybe not this photo but I'm sure I could find another at some point. Wasn't sure how deep down this I wanted to go without guidance in levels but I was curious.

okay - so I'm trying this way and I want to adjust highlights... when I add a levels layer to the selection it looks like this: black and white and when I try to adjust it adjust the whole photo

but!

Can you link me to something about why  the shadows/highlight filter sucks? you never mention it in the levels class that I can remember and it *seems* like a nice feature.

Is there an update for this? or a new way to do it? I see its from 2010 and I was curious about it

nevermind. once again my reading comprehension is shot.

Awesome thank you for quelling my nerves and the glasses are not too bad right now as far as the lenses go? 

I read your post wrong I see you said it is not a quick class. Guess I could put you on PayPal credit ?

And only for print. Specific to print size 

Yes I saw your post was already planning on it, guess I should have did that instead of the Wacom ? I’ll need another week or two but I need time for editing before that anyway, sharpening is the last step correct? 

There are a few others in the series where I think I stepped it up as well as the ISO I will look this is one of the worst ones so that’s good news they already told me they’d be happy with a few from the whole set so I’m happy with that answer. 

I'd be happy to discuss my raw processing with you over in the class if this passes focus.

okay I'm working on the the processing now, here is that info:

okay good to hear, but I have had issues with this lens before I have to manually adjust the lens calibration in the camera and had to do so mid shoot by guessing.. curious to see what you say of the other family shot

- yes they wanted the sunset behind them, which wasn't quite setting yet but the rest of the family was over it haha. My next mission is to figure out how to use my damn fill flash..

Okay, yes definitely not perfect. Definitely think I’m going to ditch this lens. 

PS please don't yell at me more than once for not doing raw processing on the 3 I shared.
