Thanks for posting, Ronny.

Definitely interested. Alec

Dan, Have you ever considered issuing it as an ebook? I expect you could outsource much of the production and it would enjoy more photographers to learn from it. Alec

Dan was talking about using extra money from donations to ship copies to libraries or other deserving organizations. Maybe he could sell some of his stock. Failing that, Amazon sometimes has them for

Dan, I'd suggest you post your Dec 20th message to a new thread. Though I visit this group often, I just noticed that the threads are paginated and thus found your post. It would be easier to find at

Could you be a bit more specific about where you downloaded the extension?

To answer your first question: you can modify Creative Cloud's behavior in the Creative Cloud Preferences. Select the Apps tab (left side) and turn off Auto-Update for Photoshop and any other apps you

Doug and Tom: great suggestions. Thank you! I think what I'm shooting for is to use the Difference blend mode (though Subtract in Appy Image would do). I expect I can find my way there now. Alec

Thomas, Great suggestions. If I want to analyze the difference between an original red channel and a copy of that channel with the blue channel applied to it, what is the best way to see that? Alec

Dan, I've really enjoyed the case studies. I encourage you to think about converting Advanced Color Training to an online course using a platform like Teachable. There participants can go through the

Thanks, Arthur. I think what confused me is that he is using Apply Image to bring the Luminosity channel from "First Try" into the top layer and he's toggling (just Command+Z in those days) between be

Thanks, Tom. Good to be reminded of that option. My comparisons are more focused on variations that derive from color and/or contrast correction done before the CB+MMM action. They are processing thre

Dan, At about 10:10 in your video on Chapter 5 - Color Boost, you make some moves to compare versions. Can you tell me what you are doing there? It's not evident in the video. If you or the group have

It appears they wanted to make ACR more like Lightroom. You can change the layout of the right adjustments panel by right clicking it and selecting single panel mode (the equivalent of solo mode in LR

Dan, Is there any prohibition against local adjustments (ie, ACR adjustment tools or masking of layers in PS)? Also, what is the purpose of the flattened jpeg version? Alec

In the PAR version, the hill on the left looks darker than it should be. Your eye would adapt to that level of illumination so it should be at least as bright as the opposite hill. This gets into the

Dan, You mention that colors are often remembered as being more saturated than they were at the time they were experienced. I first encountered that observation in Margaret Livingstone's book, "Vision

Looks like the fill light was on-camera which rarely works. No retouching was done on the reflections in the teeth so, yes, it was probably an amateur. Copyright is "PA", so no help there nor in the E

Thomas, You are correct. I was using Auto-align for verification – after Dan didn't accept my first submission. I also discovered that my adjusted TIFF was 16 bit (my default setting for opening into

Another problem solved: Apply image wasn't working because my TIFF was 16 bit and the JPG was 8 bit.
