f.64 Academy and f.64 Elite are the brainchildren of Blake Rudis. While he is a landscape photographer, he is most passionate about post-processing images in Photoshop and mentoring others.
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!

Hi Blake, Give me a call if you need any extra help getting around Sedona and Flagstaff…GC, Prescott & Painted Desert. # is on my website
Nice video. Just as you can spread out a compressed tonal range, you can compress a more balanced tonal range. Try this when you want to make a high key image of sand dunes, for example, or when you want to create a low key street scene.
Thanks for making sure everyone knows about these great tips. I’ve had the clipping warnings on fulltime since about Lightroom 2. They’re a must-have…like the Zebra display on your a1!
Thank You! I learned things I did not know, and I have been a PS user for 20 years!
Very helpfull Thanks. Beard is comming on nicely.
Damn, I am justified finally. I queried you some years ago about why you did use the blowout boxes on the histogram. I use them always. One of my several initial adjustments in ACR is to look at those and be sure there are no blowouts if I can. You basically replied that I don’t need them. Sorry Dr. Blake, they are useful as a starting point!
