Introducing the f.64 Image Analyst!
Access the Analyst here: https://f64academy.com/image-analyst/ I introduced a new concept in image editing. What happens after the edit? Now that is nothing new, after a photo is edited, we print it or share it online, BUT the new part is, How do we know what the viewer sees in our work? And if we knew, could it make our work better? The f.64 Image Analyst addresses both questions. I've been using this application on all my portfolio work, and not a single one has passed with flying colors. Meaning... I have my work cut out for me, working on images that I thought were perfect or near-perfect! Now it's your turn! 00:00 What’s Missing in Editing 03:10 What is this new tool? 05:49 Analysis Modes 08:09 Compare Mode 10:54 Visual Balance 13:06 RYB Color Wheel 14:16 Terrain Mode 17:03 Assessing Color 19:50 Taming Color 21:44 Fixing Deep Pits of Black 23:56 The Composition Guide 26:20 Cropping Grids 28:45 Reproducing Effects from Analysis 31:03 NOT Genre-Specific 31:45 Portrait Example 34:58 Clipping and Color Distance 36:26 Tone Tools Example 38:36 Composition Discussion 42:03 Masking in the Analyst 42:56 Color Balance and Separation 44:19 Emphasizing the Viewer 46:12 Why f.64 Elite? 47:55 Start of QA ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube?

The Histogram Re-Imagined
Join us on April 23rd, 2026: https://f64.co/20260423-f64 I have been building a new tool, and this is just one of many features that will help you create better images. The f.64 Image Analyst. It is a deterministic, math-based image evaluation platform for photographers who prioritize creative vision over technical perfection. Unlike AI-driven editors, it uses pure pixel mathematics to reveal what the eye cannot see—offering a 3D Terrain mode that renders images as topological landscapes with perceptual luminance weighting and chroma diagnostics, a clinical "Squint Test" that simulates human peripheral vision, and a "Journey" analysis that predicts viewer eye paths across the frame. The platform's Tone engine sculpts tonal dimension through adaptive curves and chroma modeling, while its Blend If controls isolate adjustments with surgical precision—all of which export to industry-standard .cube LUTs for seamless integration with Adobe, Capture One, and other professional workflows. I'm excited to share this new tool with you. ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube? Want to grow your photography exponentially? 1. Subscribe!

Why Your Glows Look Fake (Fix It With Channels)
Download the Action here: https://f64.me/channels Learn more about the Channels: https://f64elite.com/channels/ In this video, I’m using Photoshop’s new Clarity and Dehaze controls to create a controllable “hazy atmosphere” effect that blends naturally. The problem with Clarity/Dehaze inside Photoshop is that they can feel like a hammer, so I’ll mask them using the Green channel for balanced separation, then soften and contain the effect with mask feathering and Levels. You’ll see how this creates an “Orton-style” glow without the smeary look, plus how to fine-tune it with opacity, mask feather, Levels on the mask, and a clipped Curves layer to control exactly where the glow lives (highlights vs shadows) and even add subtle color shaping. Download the free action, try it on your images, and let me know in the comments where you’d use this effect (landscapes, portraits, weddings, fine art) Chapters: 00:00 - Intro to Dehaze and Clarity 00:36 - The Problem with Clarity & Dehaze 01:26 - Intro to Channels 02:00 - Channels as Mask Maps 02:56 - A BETTER way to use Dehaze and Clarity 04:54 - Channel Masked Dehaze 05:52 - Blending the Effect 06:30 - Blooming the Effect 07:14 - Tightening the Effect 07:57 - Modifying the Effect 10:31 - The Action I made for YOU! 11:53 - Why are we doing this anyway? 13:03 - More with the Action 16:03 - What are you waiting for?

NEVER be afraid of Photoshop masking again!
Learn More Here: https://f64elite.com/channels/ Channels in Photoshop, scary, right? I know, I know, I know. You don't even want to go there. They can be incredibly difficult to understand, and most people will avoid them completely. But I will say, your images may suffer if you do. I made a course to make channels a lot easier to understand, and it's available today!!! Key Concepts you will learn in this course: • Read channels as mask maps (not literal RGB). • Pull clean selections straight from channels. • Refine masks for natural transitions. • Go beyond luminosity masks (sky, foliage, highlights, atmosphere… no limits here) • Build advanced masks with Calculations. • Use Apply Image to isolate color data intentionally. • Develop a repeatable experimentation workflow. ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube?

After the Edit: How Art Finds Buyer
Learn More About TASA: https://f64.co/TASA2026 Most artists stop at the edit. File saved • Image looks great • Post it • Hope it sells But that’s not how art finds its buyer. I had a conversation recently with my good friend Jason Matias, the mastermind behind The Art of Selling Art, that dug into the part no one really talks about: • Why effort doesn’t justify price • Why “I like this” means almost nothing • Why most artists don’t actually have a sales problem: they have an audience problem • And why the story behind the work matters more than the hours you put into it We also discussed your ideal buyer and where you should be selling your art. The edit is only half the job, or even less sometimes. If you’ve ever wondered why good work doesn’t automatically move… this event is for you. You're in for a treat, Jason shares a cornucopia of valuable information! Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:28 Who is Jason Matias? 02:06 When you edit do you have the buyer in mind? 04:20 What does editing time look like? 06:40 One Shot versus building the composition 08:15 Does the editing style influence the sale? 11:34 How important is VISION in Art Sales? 13:58 What is an Avatar? 19:16 The 5% Rule 20:37 Does the medium inform the sale price? 22:56 When art struggles to sell what is the issue? 26:25 Should style be honed before starting the sales process? 29:16 How do you go from being the creator to the communicator? 31:53 Do you compartmentalize the process? 34:16 The buyer gets a piece of you. 36:39 How do you move from a "like" to a sale? 40:48 How do you get to confidence? 46:02 Where you can I find more from Jason? ____________________________________________ Do you like the videos I make on YouTube?

Lightroom Classic Trick: Multiple Masks in One Click
In this video, Julieanne demonstrates how to install and use two time-saving presets—one for landscapes and one for people—that instantly generate detailed masks so you can jump straight to editing. These two presets don’t make any adjustments to your images—they’re designed to save you time by automatically creating multiple masks with a single click. However, you can make your own adjustments to any of the masks and then create your own custom presets. Use this link to download the presets, then import them into Lightroom Classic to get started. https://jkost.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2027/03/Masks-No-Adjustments-1.zip

The 8GB MacBook Neo: A Photographer’s Honest Review & Speed Test
In this video, I put Apple's lowest priced MacBook ever to the test. With an A18 Pro chip and only eight gigabytes of unified memory, this $599 machine isn't being marketed to pros. It's built for students and millions of other casual users out there. But I know people would be curious on whether or not it's good enough to do creative or pro work.I ran the MacBook Neo through twelve tasks in Adobe apps like Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, and Premiere. To see exactly what it can do, I compared it directly against my 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro, which originally cost $2,749—about four times the cost of the Neo.We'll cover the hardware in detail, including the good, the bad and the quirks. I highlight the premium aluminum build and sixteen hour battery life. However, I also break down the limitations you need to know about: the strictly sRGB display, the lack of a backlit keyboard, and the limit of just one external display. I'll also warn you about the USB ports, since only one of them operates at USB three speeds. Finally, I will show you the ultimate workflow hack to bypass the 8GB wall by doing some of that heavy lifting in a web browser.Could you get by with it for your personal projects? You tell me in the comments.

Sony 100-400 F/4.5 Real World Review: Why I Want This Lens!
Steve from Backcountry Gallery here and in this video we’re reviewing the new Sony 100-400mm F/4.5 G Master lens. After spending time testing this lens in the field, I came away with a very different impression than I expected. On paper, it doesn’t completely dominate lenses like the original Sony 100-400 GM or even the Sony 200-600. But once I started shooting with it, there were a few things I kept noticing in the final images that really changed how I felt about this lens. In this review, we’ll cover: • Sharpness and real-world detail • Sony 100-400 F/4.5 vs Sony 100-400 GM • Sony 100-400 F/4.5 vs Sony 200-600 • Autofocus performance • 1.4x and 2x teleconverter testing • Rendering, bokeh, and image character • Internal zoom design • Stabilization • Handling and field use • Whether this lens is actually worth $4500 If you’re a wildlife photographer, bird photographer, or sports shooter trying to decide where this lens fits in Sony’s lineup, hopefully this review helps you figure out whether it deserves a spot in your bag. 📘 Sony Setup Guides: If you want help getting the most out of your Sony autofocus system for wildlife photography, bird-in-flight photography, subject detection, tracking, custom buttons, and field setup, check out my Sony setup guides here: Sony a1 setup guide: https://bcgwebstore.com/product/the-ultimate-sony-a1-setup-guide-for-wildlife-photography/ Sony a1ii setup guide: https://bcgwebstore.com/product/the-ultimate-sony-a1ii-setup-guide-for-wildlife-photography/ Link (newsletters, workshops, forums, books, etc.) https://backcountrygallery.com/linktree/ Chapters: 00:00 Intro Sony 100-400 4.5 Review 00:49 Sharpness 02:33 Teleconverters 04:31 Rendering & Image Quality 05:38 Why F/4.5 Matters 07:02 Autofocus Performance 09:10 Close Focus & Magnification 10:05 Internal Zoom Design 11:43 Stabilization 12:24 Features & Handling 13:24 Final Verdict #sonyalpha #wildlifephotography #sony100400 #sony200600 #birdphotography

Explore all 14 new features and updates in Photoshop 27.6 and discover what works, what doesn't, and what Adobe doesn't tell you! 🚀 Join PiXimperfect Pro - The Ultimate Photoshop Training Course: https://pix.live/pro In this video, we will fully break down all 14 big new updates to Photoshop, from Rotate Object to Reference Image support, and test how they actually perform in real-world editing.

Then we’ll test the updated AI models, including Firefly Image 5 and new additions like Nano Banana 2, while looking at credit usage, resolution, and if they show strange AI artifacts that can ruin an image. We’ll also explore the new credit transparency inside Photoshop, helpful improvements like Layer Cleanup, the redesigned Actions panel, updates to Dynamic Text, and features that have now moved from Photoshop Beta into the main version, like Rotate Object. Along the way, we’ll look at the pros, cons, and better alternatives wherever needed, so the goal is not just to show what’s new, but to help you understand which features are genuinely useful, which ones still need work, and how to get the best results from this Photoshop update.

I Reviewed Your Composites for March 2026
In this video, I review the entries from the March Nucly compositing challenges and break down what’s working in each piece—and what could be improved. For every image, I go through three things: • What’s working well in the composite • What feels off or breaks the illusion • The single most important improvement I’d suggest to strengthen the piece Compositing is rarely about adding more elements. Most of the time it comes down to refining the fundamentals—light, perspective, scale, color harmony, and integration. These critiques focus on those core ideas so you can apply the same thinking to your own work. If you submitted an image, thanks for participating. The quality of these challenges keeps getting better every month.

Learn Photo Compositing in Photoshop 2026 (Start to Finish Project)
Download tutorial assets here: https://www.nucly.com/photo-compositing-in-2026 In this tutorial I walk through the basics of photo compositing in Photoshop 2026 by building a complete scene from start to finish. We take several separate images and combine them into a single composite using the core tools that make compositing possible in Photoshop. Along the way you'll learn the foundations of compositing including layer masks, subject cutouts, Select and Mask, blending elements together, and color matching so everything feels like it belongs in the same scene. This lesson is designed as a practical introduction to compositing. Instead of focusing on theory, we build a full composite together and cover the tools and techniques as they come up. What You'll Learn: • The basic workflow for photo compositing in Photoshop • Navigating the Photoshop workspace • Transforming and positioning elements • How layer masks work • Using Select and Mask for clean cutouts • Refining masks with the brush tool • Placing subjects naturally into a scene • Masking foreground elements for depth • Matching color and atmosphere across images Chapters: 00:00 The Finished Composite & Lesson Overview 02:11 Photoshop Workspace Essentials 07:18 Transforming and Positioning Elements 11:42 The Core of Compositing: Layer Masks 22:04 Select and Mask for Clean Cutouts 30:59 Refining Masks with the Brush Tool 40:12 Placing the Subject Into the Scene 42:01 Foreground Masking for Realism 45:00 Color Matching & Atmosphere 50:12 Final Composite & Wrap-Up Resources Mentioned Photoshop Masterclass https://www.nucly.com/nucly-photoshop-masterclass Nucly Academy https://www.nucly.com/academy — Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications!

Crimson Flight: From Photos to Finished Composite in Photoshop
Download assets here: https://nucly.com/crimson-flight-tutorial In this tutorial, I rebuild Crimson Flight from the ground up and walk through the full compositing process in Photoshop—from raw source photos to a finished cinematic image. This project is a great example of how strong compositing fundamentals still drive the final result. We’ll build the environment, integrate the subject, shape the lighting, and add the atmospheric details that make a composite feel believable. Along the way you’ll see how modern Photoshop tools speed up selections, cleanup, and blending—while the core compositing techniques remain the same. You’ll learn how to: Extend and build environments from stock images Blend multiple elements into a cohesive scene Use modern Photoshop selection and cleanup tools effectively Shape lighting and atmosphere to sell the illusion Push a composite from “assembled” to polished This tutorial is one of the three full projects inside the Grape Escape compositing course, where each project breaks down a different compositing challenge and workflow.

Recreate the CRIME 101 Movie Poster Look in Photoshop
Download tutorial assets here: https://nucly.com/crime-101-poster-tutorial In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to recreate the CRIME 101 movie-poster look in Photoshop using your own images. This is a great exercise in layout discipline, color control, and subtle texture—where small decisions add up to a strong, cinematic result. We’ll build the poster from the ground up, starting with a proper theatrical canvas and grid system. From there, you’ll learn how to mask and arrange multiple images cleanly, unify contrast with curves, and use a targeted gradient map to lock everything into a cohesive color palette. We’ll finish with separation lines, controlled grain, and typography that feels bold without overpowering the imagery. This workflow is practical, repeatable, and easy to adapt to your own posters, thumbnails, or promotional composites. 00:00 – 🎬 Intro & poster overview 00:00:49 – 📐 Setting up the canvas and grid layout 00:09:07 – 🖼 Importing images into the layout 00:09:48 – ✂️ Masking images into the grid 00:10:48 – 🟥 Adding black separation lines 00:11:40 – 🎨 Adding curves for contrast control 00:12:55 – 🔥 Applying the cinematic gradient map 00:14:10 – 🔠 Adding and styling the CRIME 101 text 00:15:05 – 🌫 Adding grain with Camera Raw 00:15:38 – ✅ Final polish and wrap-up Download original poster reference here: http://www.impawards.com/2026/crime_one_o_one_ver4.html Fonts used: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Ultra — Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications!
