p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Hidden Coves


The Sonoma Coast is pockmarked by hidden coves, many requiring a difficult climb down sheer trails studded with poison oak. Access is occasionally aided by fraying ropes fixed to stakes or trees, left by abalone hunters in pursuit of less picked-over reefs.

The young, nimble, and slightly foolhardy, like me, climb down into these coves in the dying light with several thousand dollars worth of fragile glass and electronics to chance the rocks and ocean surge.

Anybody else have this problem? I see them just fine in Chrome or Firefox.

Thanks for the kind words.

I tried processing these with Blend If layers, but am having a hard time getting the Blend If technique down. Most of the time, it ends up looking very flat and loaded with artifacts. I end up doing essentially as much masking as if I had just created luminance masks from the start, and then have to fix the contrast and tone with several extra Curves layers.

Any guidance on multiple layer Blend If projects or smoothing the transitions?

These are each 3 layers in 2 stop increments. One may have 4.
