Just sharing part of my post-process method...

Hey gang,

I've had quite a few people ask me how I use photoshop (CS4) after my normal RAW edits in Lightroom 2 so I made a video.

I'm interested in hearing about how I do layer masks wrong or not entirely correct. I'm 100% self-taught so I'm sure there are more efficient ways.

The video basically shows how I use Noiseware Pro and Topaz Adjust 3 to improve IQ after LR 2.

Here's the video: YouTube - Enhancing photos in CS4 using Noiseware Pro and Topaz Adjust 3 with layer masks. I think he's right the click sounds are a bit annoying right?

And here's a post where I show "large" versions of the sample photo, one with LR 2 only and one with LR 2 and CS4 adjustments: motleypixel.com: Photography Forums and Lens Reviews

Nice job Roy.

I do my layer masks exactly backwards from you but with the exact same results.

What program did you use to make the video? I tried to make one, it came out all blocky.

Roy, excellent video.
I like your teaching method.
