Dude, 86 the Epson ads. They’re annoying as hell.

Matt, Have you noticed any banding with use of the adjustment brush. A photo I’m working on a photo which exhibits banding on screen as well as in print.
Thanks Dennis

So what do you do if you add a color to the graduated filter and want to remove it from objects in the forground?

@Klementz
Try VLC Media Player it’s a nice piece of freeware that plays nearly everything.

What is an .M4V file? My laptop does not recognize that, but Windows Live Search seems to indicate I need Quicktime? (That’s the one that always asks me to buy something everything it fires up, right?) What am I missing here?

Antonio,
It does work because the graduation only takes place between the top and bottom line on the grad filter. Everything above the top line gets the maximum treatment. Everything below the bottom line gets no treatment.

Most of the adjustment brush treatment in the video was taking place in the non-graduation zone (above the top line).

As Matt says in the video, you just need to be careful when you are applying the compensating adjustment brush between the lines (i.e in the graduation zone).

This is a great tip from Matt – there is almost always something that needs bringing back from the grad treatment.
