0:00:01.429,0:00:06.990
hello and welcome to a first episode of

0:00:04.110,0:00:08.519
Denny's tips my name is Danny and today

0:00:06.990,0:00:10.230
I'll be showing you how to create your

0:00:08.519,0:00:13.019
own cross processing effects using

0:00:10.230,0:00:14.730
Photoshop back in the days phone

0:00:13.019,0:00:17.039
photographers would deliberately develop

0:00:14.730,0:00:19.050
their photos with the wrong chemicals to

0:00:17.039,0:00:21.750
get really cool abstract and retro

0:00:19.050,0:00:24.029
effects we can now do a easel in

0:00:21.750,0:00:26.580
Photoshop and I have this awesome layer

0:00:24.029,0:00:28.980
set up that makes it incredibly easy in

0:00:26.580,0:00:30.810
this tutorial you'll learn how to sub

0:00:28.980,0:00:32.640
just three layers that will let you

0:00:30.810,0:00:36.270
create an infinite amount of retro

0:00:32.640,0:00:39.899
effects in a short time it's fun easy

0:00:36.270,0:00:41.960
and fast so if you're ready let's get

0:00:39.899,0:00:41.960
started

0:00:44.570,0:00:49.340
before we begin let me show you how this

0:00:46.850,0:00:51.530
works instead of learning how to create

0:00:49.340,0:00:53.000
just one cross processing effect you

0:00:51.530,0:00:54.379
will learn how to create a layer set up

0:00:53.000,0:00:57.739
that will let you create an unlimited

0:00:54.379,0:00:59.629
amount of effects looking in the layers

0:00:57.739,0:01:01.850
panel here you can see that we have

0:00:59.629,0:01:03.769
three brightness/contrast layers these

0:01:01.850,0:01:07.630
layers can be adjusted to create various

0:01:03.769,0:01:07.630
cross processing effects like this

0:01:12.060,0:01:17.670
and just like that we have a completely

0:01:14.399,0:01:19.439
different effect so what exactly is

0:01:17.670,0:01:22.439
happening here to show you how to

0:01:19.439,0:01:25.350
channel panel out like this each one of

0:01:22.439,0:01:26.970
these layers affect only one channel so

0:01:25.350,0:01:29.070
for example this red layer here will

0:01:26.970,0:01:31.289
affect the red channel the screen layer

0:01:29.070,0:01:33.750
will affect the green channel and the

0:01:31.289,0:01:35.310
same thing with this blue layer when I

0:01:33.750,0:01:37.530
make the adjustments to this red layer

0:01:35.310,0:01:39.509
you can see it any channels panel that

0:01:37.530,0:01:41.299
it's only affecting the red channel it's

0:01:39.509,0:01:43.200
not affecting the green or blue Channel

0:01:41.299,0:01:44.700
there's actually a name for this

0:01:43.200,0:01:47.220
technique and it's called channel

0:01:44.700,0:01:48.720
contrast but instead of using a curves

0:01:47.220,0:01:51.030
adjustment which most people don't

0:01:48.720,0:01:52.979
really know how to use you're using a

0:01:51.030,0:01:55.530
layer setup that's easier to adjust it's

0:01:52.979,0:01:59.340
faster to do and it's more suitable for

0:01:55.530,0:02:01.319
beginners okay so now you know how the

0:01:59.340,0:02:03.810
layers work it's time to learn how to

0:02:01.319,0:02:05.189
set up the layers go to your adjustments

0:02:03.810,0:02:07.619
panel and add a brightness contrast

0:02:05.189,0:02:09.750
adjustment layer if you don't see this

0:02:07.619,0:02:12.660
panel you can open it by going to window

0:02:09.750,0:02:14.569
adjustments when you make changes to

0:02:12.660,0:02:17.250
this layer it affects all three channels

0:02:14.569,0:02:19.829
so how do we make it so I only affects

0:02:17.250,0:02:22.320
one channel the answer is blending

0:02:19.829,0:02:24.870
options right click on the layer then

0:02:22.320,0:02:27.720
choose blending options in this area

0:02:24.870,0:02:29.310
here you'll see three check boxes these

0:02:27.720,0:02:31.920
check boxes basically tell Photoshop

0:02:29.310,0:02:33.840
which channel desolator should affect so

0:02:31.920,0:02:36.420
if we simply uncheck the green and blue

0:02:33.840,0:02:39.720
channel this layer will now only affect

0:02:36.420,0:02:41.880
the red channel we need three of these

0:02:39.720,0:02:43.680
layers one for each Channel so let's

0:02:41.880,0:02:46.859
duplicate the layer by pressing ctrl or

0:02:43.680,0:02:48.600
command J twice for better organization

0:02:46.859,0:02:51.239
I'm also going to rename the layers and

0:02:48.600,0:02:56.310
add color labels to it I'm winning this

0:02:51.239,0:02:58.230
one with reds greens and blues forty

0:02:56.310,0:03:00.150
color labels you can add them simply by

0:02:58.230,0:03:01.639
right clicking on the layer then picking

0:03:00.150,0:03:03.720
the color that you want to label it with

0:03:01.639,0:03:06.000
these labels don't actually do anything

0:03:03.720,0:03:07.680
other than labeling your layers with a

0:03:06.000,0:03:11.340
color so it doesn't really matter if you

0:03:07.680,0:03:13.739
do it or not we're done with the layer

0:03:11.340,0:03:15.959
organization now let's finish setting up

0:03:13.739,0:03:17.900
the layers right click on the green

0:03:15.959,0:03:20.489
channel then go to blending options

0:03:17.900,0:03:23.610
uncheck the red channel then check mark

0:03:20.489,0:03:25.150
the green channel click OK do the same

0:03:23.610,0:03:27.430
with the blue channel

0:03:25.150,0:03:30.040
right click on the layer go to blending

0:03:27.430,0:03:31.689
options uncheck the red channel and then

0:03:30.040,0:03:35.379
check mark the blue channel then click

0:03:31.689,0:03:37.569
OK the last thing to do is to go into

0:03:35.379,0:03:39.610
all of the adjustment layers and enabled

0:03:37.569,0:03:41.349
use like it's the option this option

0:03:39.610,0:03:43.180
presents Photoshop from trying to

0:03:41.349,0:03:46.390
preserve the tones in your image so you

0:03:43.180,0:03:47.950
can apply much more drastic effects play

0:03:46.390,0:03:49.780
around with the settings on all three

0:03:47.950,0:03:52.450
layers and see what kind of effects you

0:03:49.780,0:03:56.250
can create here are some examples of

0:03:52.450,0:03:56.250
effects that I made using this technique
