Resources-The button below opens a list of photographers who make videos and eBooks that incorporate and demonstrate these techniques in their products.

• Sean Bagshaw−In addition to producing the The Complete Guide to Luminosity Masks and The TK Panel video series, Sean offers other Photoshop and Lightroom instructional videos on his site.
• Christopher O'Donnell−Christopher has several very detailed courses on his website from the basics of using layers and masks to more advanced techniques like using luminosity masks for burning, dodging, and expxoure-blending. There is a lot of free content, both written and video, that includes information and examples of how to use TK panels. Christopher also offers a membership program if you like his teaching style and really want to get the most out of Photoshop and Light Rooom.
• Ryan Dyar−Ryan has an excellent set of videos where he shares some unusual, yet surprisingly simple, techniques for creating dramatic nature images. His exposure-blending method using luminosity masks is quite easy, and he also has some straight-forward methods for using the masks to develop texture and mood.
• André Distel−I worked with André to produce a German version of the TKActions panel. He then took the extra step of explaining the panel and luminosity masks in an excellent set of videos in the German language. So if you prefer German over English to learn these techniques, André's videos will provide the definitive resource.
• Grant Collier−Grant has an excellent eBook and video series that covers night sky photography in great detail. The post-processing sections include ideas for using luminosity masks in unique ways to enhance the final image.
• Zach Schnepf−Zach's new video series, "Photoshop Tonality Control 2.0," not only covers a wide variety of creative Photoshop techniques, but it also demonstrates how the TKActions panel can be easily incorporated into the developing workflow.
• Chip Phillips−Chip has a good workflow video where he takes the user through the entire developing process for an image and shows how luminosity masks were part of the project.

Instructors-While written tutorials and videos offer significant assistance in learning these techniques, sometimes a more personalized approach or face-to-face time with an expert is the best way to get up to speed on what luminosity masks can offer.
