TK9 Actions Panel Workflow:
1. Setup and Preparations
Begin with your image open in Photoshop.
Ensure the TK9 Actions Panel is installed and accessible.
1. Dodge and Burn with Selections Using TK9
Dodge (Lighten): Use the TK9 panel to select the “Dodge” action. This might involve selecting
targeted luminosity masks to isolate highlights or specific tones you wish to lighten.
Burn (Darken): Similarly, select the “Burn” action from the TK9 panel. Choose or create luminosity
masks to focus on shadows or midtones you want to darken.
1. Applying the Triple Play for Enhanced Contrast
Locate the “Triple Play” action within the TK9 panel. This action is designed to enhance contrast
through a sophisticated blend of adjustments targeting different tonal ranges of the image.
Execute the Triple Play action, which will automatically adjust highlights, midtones, and shadows,
each on separate layers for refined control.
1. Adding Contrast with Curves
Within the TK9 panel, find the action for adding a Curves adjustment layer. Apply this action to
create a Curves adjustment layer automatically. Then, adjust the curve manually if needed to
fine-tune the overall contrast of the image.
1. Finalizing and Organizing the Workflow
After applying the desired adjustments, you might want to organize your layers

for clarity. TK9 Actions Panel includes options for grouping and color-coding
layers, which can be used to maintain a tidy workspace.
Visual Representation Scenario:
Imagine a detailed and vibrant landscape photo that needs depth and dimension enhancement. The
workflow would start with a flat image lacking contrast and end with a vivid, dynamic photo where
the textures, colors, and elements pop, showcasing the power of dodge and burn, triple play, and
curves adjustments via the TK9 Actions Panel.
Image Description for Generation:
A before-and-after scenario showcasing a landscape photograph. The “before” part shows a flat,
somewhat lifeless image with muted colors and indistinct details. The “after” part reveals a
vibrant, detailed landscape where the textures of the trees, rocks, and water are pronounced, the
colors are vivid, and the overall image possesses a dynamic range of light and shadow,
demonstrating the effects of a professional retouch using the TK9 Actions Panel for dodge, burn,
triple play, and curves adjustments. This transformation emphasizes the depth and dimension added
through the retouching process.In this part of the presentation, we’re diving into the
transformative power of professional retouching techniques on landscape photography. Through the
application of dodge, burn, triple play, and curves adjustments using the TK9 Actions Panel, we’ve
managed to revolutionize a once flat and lifeless image. The results speak for themselves,
presenting a vibrant, detailed masterpiece that brings out the depth, texture, and color in a way
that truly captivates the viewer. This stark contrast between the original and the retouched image
perfectly illustrates the potential and importance of expert photo editing in enhancing the natural
beauty of our
world.
