Thank you for your interest in luminosity masks and for purchasing the TKActions V5 panel on the Adobe AddOns website. If you are having problems with the panel, please let me know and I'll try to help. I'm also interested in your suggestions and feedback, so feel free to  contact me .

If you are new to luminosity masks, I can appreciate that the topic seems a bit overwhelming at first. But don't worry. The resources below can help you quickly become proficient at using luminosity masks, and the panel will make it easy to integrate them into your usual workflow. If you are already familiar with luminosity masks, the panel will make you even more efficient at using them as well as providing quick access to many Photoshop functions and specialized actions.

The Complete Catalog below is a free download that has the Instructions PDF for the panel and directions on how to best set up the color working space for luminosity masks. It also has all the tutorials on my website in PDF format. Rollover here for a complete list. These tutorials are the basis for almost everything contained in the custom panel. The illustrations are a bit dated since they were written using previous versions of Photoshop, but the content is still relevant to understanding the basics of luminosity masks. Newer information is regularly provided on my blog. To receive the latest updates, please consider adding me to one of your social networks or subscribing to  my blog  using the links above.

I know many people are visual learners and learning luminosity masks from videos would be much easier than from PDFs. Sadly, I'm not very good at making videos. However, Sean Bagshaw is an expert and I've been fortunate to work with him on this endeavor. He's produced several video series that specifically use the custom panels and are based on my original tutorials. The videos are comprehensive, contain excellent examples, and are well produced. The most recent ones are available below. They are the perfect complement to the TKActions V5 panel and provide a valuable, in-depth learning resource for luminosity masks.
