hello and welcome to this episode of

0:00:05.730,0:00:09.900
standing tip today I'll be showing how

0:00:07.859,0:00:12.000
to emphasize records and advert in wood

0:00:09.900,0:00:13.769
effect in Photoshop I don't remember

0:00:12.000,0:00:15.660
exactly where I gotta see text I do

0:00:13.769,0:00:17.640
remember seeing someone asking about it

0:00:15.660,0:00:18.960
in the post passing subreddit and I

0:00:17.640,0:00:20.609
thought that it'd be a nice tutorial

0:00:18.960,0:00:23.039
especially for beginners you don't have

0:00:20.609,0:00:24.689
much experience with Photoshop it's an

0:00:23.039,0:00:26.340
easy effect and you'll be learning how

0:00:24.689,0:00:33.210
to do this with a very minimal and

0:00:26.340,0:00:34.559
non-destructive set up later we're going

0:00:33.210,0:00:36.120
to start by enhancing the freckles

0:00:34.559,0:00:38.520
there's a couple ways to enhance

0:00:36.120,0:00:39.719
freckles in Photoshop in the past I

0:00:38.520,0:00:41.969
taught people how to use the yellow

0:00:39.719,0:00:44.100
channel to hide or enhance records and

0:00:41.969,0:00:45.690
it works very well if you want to learn

0:00:44.100,0:00:47.280
how to do that is the one of my older

0:00:45.690,0:00:48.840
videos and you can find a link by

0:00:47.280,0:00:51.690
clicking on the info card on the top

0:00:48.840,0:00:53.219
right corner but for this video I'll

0:00:51.690,0:00:55.649
show you another way of doing it that's

0:00:53.219,0:00:58.620
simpler faster and still gives a great

0:00:55.649,0:01:00.390
result here's how to do it in the

0:00:58.620,0:01:02.280
adjustments panel add a channels

0:01:00.390,0:01:04.379
adjustment layer if you don't see this

0:01:02.280,0:01:08.700
panel you can open it by going to wyndle

0:01:04.379,0:01:10.500
adjustment in the properties panel start

0:01:08.700,0:01:11.990
by checking a monochrome option which

0:01:10.500,0:01:15.960
will make this lawyer black and white

0:01:11.990,0:01:20.159
next 30 Reds to minus-50 greens to

0:01:15.960,0:01:21.900
minus-50 and blues to 200 you can also

0:01:20.159,0:01:24.960
adjust the constant slider here if you

0:01:21.900,0:01:26.250
need to adjust the brightness and as you

0:01:24.960,0:01:28.350
can see what this black-and-white layer

0:01:26.250,0:01:30.780
it's really emphasizing and bring LT

0:01:28.350,0:01:32.970
freckles next change the blending mode

0:01:30.780,0:01:35.509
of this layer to luminosity and then

0:01:32.970,0:01:35.509
adjust the opacity

0:01:35.590,0:01:40.880
[Music]

0:01:38.080,0:01:42.470
now when we turn on an office layer you

0:01:40.880,0:01:44.660
can see it's really emphasizing the

0:01:42.470,0:01:46.640
freckles if you only want definitely

0:01:44.660,0:01:49.100
affected skin you can paint in the layer

0:01:46.640,0:01:51.050
mask start by selecting the UA or math

0:01:49.100,0:01:53.260
in the layers panel and then press ctrl

0:01:51.050,0:01:55.820
or command I to invert it to black

0:01:53.260,0:01:58.070
select your brush tool make sure your

0:01:55.820,0:01:59.690
foreground color is white and then paint

0:01:58.070,0:02:08.570
over the areas where you want to affect

0:01:59.690,0:02:10.250
your pair next we're going to add an

0:02:08.570,0:02:11.780
effect that gives a dim and warming fact

0:02:10.250,0:02:14.000
using the tone curse which is the most

0:02:11.780,0:02:15.650
efficient way of doing it for this

0:02:14.000,0:02:17.510
tutorial due tomm curse will go apply

0:02:15.650,0:02:18.890
it's very simple and easy so you don't

0:02:17.510,0:02:21.230
mean you to fully understand the tools

0:02:18.890,0:02:22.490
to be able to follow along well if you

0:02:21.230,0:02:24.080
have the time I highly recommend

0:02:22.490,0:02:26.270
watching the tone cursed video in the

0:02:24.080,0:02:28.160
info card on the top right corner the

0:02:26.270,0:02:29.480
tone curve is the most useful adjustment

0:02:28.160,0:02:30.920
for photographers and you can find in

0:02:29.480,0:02:33.710
pretty much every image editing software

0:02:30.920,0:02:35.600
like Lightroom affinity photo capture

0:02:33.710,0:02:38.720
one and even some mobile apps like

0:02:35.600,0:02:41.000
Snapseed and light blue mobile so here's

0:02:38.720,0:02:43.670
how to add to effect in the adjustments

0:02:41.000,0:02:44.959
panel add a curves adjustment layer here

0:02:43.670,0:02:47.180
we're going to start with the RGB

0:02:44.959,0:02:49.360
channel drag the top right point

0:02:47.180,0:02:51.560
downwards like this to dim the image

0:02:49.360,0:02:53.150
next click on the middle part of the

0:02:51.560,0:02:55.220
chart and add a point right in the

0:02:53.150,0:02:58.610
center there's always 30 right notes

0:02:55.220,0:03:00.170
while keeping the dim look next click on

0:02:58.610,0:03:02.630
the drop down menu and switch it a blue

0:03:00.170,0:03:04.190
channel for a lot of people do red green

0:03:02.630,0:03:06.470
and blue tone curve is where people get

0:03:04.190,0:03:07.760
the most complete and for those of you

0:03:06.470,0:03:09.830
who don't know how to use the tone curve

0:03:07.760,0:03:12.850
here's an easy way to understand how it

0:03:09.830,0:03:15.020
works imagine the tone curves like this

0:03:12.850,0:03:16.760
this is that actually what it looks like

0:03:15.020,0:03:18.830
in Photoshop but imagine that it does

0:03:16.760,0:03:20.540
and keep this image in your head as

0:03:18.830,0:03:23.330
you're adjusting it will make things so

0:03:20.540,0:03:25.190
much easier so we go to a blue channel

0:03:23.330,0:03:26.840
and drag the top right point downwards

0:03:25.190,0:03:29.959
like this it will attempt to highlight

0:03:26.840,0:03:31.910
yellow next 50 bottom left point upwards

0:03:29.959,0:03:33.890
like this to 10 a very tiny amount of

0:03:31.910,0:03:36.200
blues and the shadows

0:03:33.890,0:03:38.240
and we're done here's how the image

0:03:36.200,0:03:40.550
looks like before and after this

0:03:38.240,0:03:44.510
adjustment using the tone curve is the

0:03:40.550,0:03:45.950
best way to keep your layers minimal to

0:03:44.510,0:03:47.420
complete this image we're going to add a

0:03:45.950,0:03:49.730
simple lighting effect with just one

0:03:47.420,0:03:51.770
gradient fill layer in the layers panel

0:03:49.730,0:03:54.620
click on a new so or adjustment layer

0:03:51.770,0:03:55.850
button here and select gradient fill by

0:03:54.620,0:03:57.020
the way you won't find it in the

0:03:55.850,0:03:58.730
adjustments panel because it's

0:03:57.020,0:04:01.010
technically a fill layer and not an

0:03:58.730,0:04:02.810
adjustment layer in the gradient fill

0:04:01.010,0:04:05.239
option select a black to white gradient

0:04:02.810,0:04:07.220
if you don't see this you can click on

0:04:05.239,0:04:10.700
the COG wheel icon and select respect

0:04:07.220,0:04:13.430
gradient next set the style to radial

0:04:10.700,0:04:15.050
and check my dear reverse option adjust

0:04:13.430,0:04:16.700
the scale to however large you wanted to

0:04:15.050,0:04:19.930
be i'll set my to about one hundred

0:04:16.700,0:04:22.460
fifty percent click OK when you're done

0:04:19.930,0:04:23.990
we now have a great end and to make it

0:04:22.460,0:04:26.480
blend in with your photo change the

0:04:23.990,0:04:27.620
blending mode to soft light i'm going to

0:04:26.480,0:04:28.790
move this layer below the curves

0:04:27.620,0:04:30.500
adjustment layer so that it doesn't

0:04:28.790,0:04:34.310
override the tone curves that we made

0:04:30.500,0:04:36.200
earlier now we can reposition delight to

0:04:34.310,0:04:38.750
do that double-click on the thumbnail to

0:04:36.200,0:04:40.340
readjust the gradient fill setting click

0:04:38.750,0:04:41.510
and drag on your document and you'll

0:04:40.340,0:04:43.760
notice that the light moves around

0:04:41.510,0:04:45.830
wherever your mouth is I'm going to

0:04:43.760,0:04:47.840
precision mine around here and I'm also

0:04:45.830,0:04:52.430
going to readjust the scale to enlarge

0:04:47.840,0:04:54.260
the gradient we're done if we turn on

0:04:52.430,0:04:56.210
and off this layer you can see I changes

0:04:54.260,0:04:58.430
relighting a lot unlike a traditional

0:04:56.210,0:05:00.229
vignette this gradient overlay can be

0:04:58.430,0:05:03.410
repositioned anywhere and it's a great

0:05:00.229,0:05:05.000
way to add focus to your photo here's

0:05:03.410,0:05:06.110
how the image looks like before and

0:05:05.000,0:05:09.819
after

0:05:06.110,0:05:09.819
[Music]

0:05:22.830,0:05:27.210
visibility how good the defect looks

0:05:25.050,0:05:30.000
really depends on what photo is the web

0:05:30.000,0:05:34.770

similar to why this video because if you

0:05:34.770,0:05:39.180
want to make the exact weaker

0:05:36.060,0:05:41.790
technologist lower the opacity anyway
