@@I_Mackenzie thanks for watching 😄 merry Christmas to you 🇦🇺

Glad to hear you found it useful 😊the transform tool will be your next best friend. You can use the arrow keys anytime to rotate brushes I find it much easier to use than going to menu.

Forgot to mention I have a video on using the transform tool check it out 😊

Thanks for watching like anything it is a personal preference 🙂disguising the sky was one of the techniques I used in the serious landscape days, still use it now and then

Glad you find them useful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too from Oz

You are welcome thanks for watching :)

Colour is my thing :) I use a number of techniques, presets, plugins like Nik Collection (link in description) depending on what I want, also check out my other videos on Making Colour Choices . More videos to come :)

Thank you for watching do you mean the base image I used in the video?

@@sandradimagery Yes :)

@@Lazyretina The base image was created using Leonardo AI :) glad you liked it. Mastering the prompts is the key to getting the backgrounds, elements and colours I want to create for my composites. I have online course on How to Build Your Creative Stash if you are interested www.sandradimagery.com/how-to-build-your-creative-stash-course

@@saintcosme9307 Thanks for watching yes I struggled when I first started using Color once you know what it does it’s a helpful program.

The cost depends on the currency exchange rate in your location. The great news is that DXO now offers a pay-by-installment plan, which is fantastic! The updates are leaps and bounds ahead of what they used to be.

@@robbinsdrones Nik collection 7 has some great tools to play with I only scratched the surface, thanks for watching.

Thank you for this video Sandra. It inspired me to buy the Nik7 collection and I used their instalments which I’m very happy with. Trouble is I don’t have enough hours in the day now to play with all it’s possibilities 😊

@@pamgarven5249 The trials of a creative :) I'm the same! Woo hoo you found it easy to purchase. I'm proud to be associated with DXO.

You are welcome spread the word :) :)

@@SheCreatesStuff2 Thank you for your kind words 😀

Before you use this technique you have to do a Stamp Visible Layer to merge layers, see the video in Photoshop Tips on this technique.

@@sandradimagery ah, yep, that is what I forgot.

@@SheCreatesStuff2 I often say the “ creative stash” in the videos, this is where I have all of my elements organised that I use to create composites. When creating I often go there and look for inspiration. Ai prompts can vary depending on which platform one uses, this one was an early experiment a few years back tbh I can’t remember what I did. I have 2 ebooks in my shop about Building up the Creative Stash and Being Creative with AI Technology link is in the description. Thanks for watching the channel 😄

@@sandradimagery LOL, I heard "station." My bad. I use Firefly for AI. Cool, thanks for that, I'll look for the ebook on AI tech and video. Thanks so much. You're fabulous!

@@SheCreatesStuff2 Must be my Aussie accent LOL 😃

@@sandradimagery yep, love it

Thank you for your kind words are you talking about my online classes or one on one training?

@@sandradimagery any. It's okay. I'm just wishing. 🤗

@@SheCreatesStuff2 I am offering Black Friday discounts on my One on One Sessions, will be posting next week on the FB page :)

Love using different brushes in my workflow, this is just scratching the surface. Thanks for watching :)

@@sandradimagery btw Your "smoke" is condensed water vapour. Smoke generally has a high carbon content and persists instead of evaporating.

@@oneeyedphotographer thanks for your insightful feedback, whatever it is I used it for smoke for the chimney 🙂

Thank you for your feedback! I've been putting a lot of effort into improving the sound quality and have had several experts review it. The feedback has been varied, so it's still a work in progress-but I'm committed to making it the best it can be!

Thank you for watching the one I used for the seascape?

@@sandradimagery yes, please.

@@SheCreatesStuff2 That is one of my own photos are you wanting the location?

@@sandradimagery I'm sorry, I thought it was from a public domain archive.

@@SheCreatesStuff2 No probs :) I was a serious landscape photographer back in the day and this was one from the archives.

@@pesthlm Great to hear, playing and experimenting can be fun and thanks for watching 😀

Thanks for sharing that tip :)

You are welcome glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for watching and subscribing! I’m not about the bells and whistles - it’s all about solid content and helpful tips here.

Yep they are a game changer :)

Thank you for watching :) I'm a creative at heart and love sharing the tips and tricks I've learnt over the years.

You’re welcome 😊 used to be a corporate trainer in another lifetime, still love teaching 😊

Thank you I’m a creative at heart 😀

Thanks for watching appreciate it

Yes, you can use the keyboard arrows to move up and down, but you won’t see the actual color until you click on it to show it in the properties box.

Using the grey layer is great with the new selection tools over the years, they add another dimension to selecting and masking

Have fun selecting and masking 😊

Hi you could use an adjustment layer such as curves or levels to add global adjustments or selective areas. Using a grey layer for dodging or burning has its benefits, its non destructive and can give a softer touch to this technique using a grey layer. Particularly for my style of digital art where I like softer muted colours, tones, also a grey layer is good for adding noise , which I do on some AI composites.

Love those little tips thanks for watching ❤

Thanks for the tip shift click is a great trick to use. I used that a lot in the landscape days. Love these nifty tricks. 😊😊

the munchkin says thanks for watching 😅

Thanks for watching and subscribing :) share away

Thanks it is a great technique, thank you for watching.

You’re welcome thanks for watching 😊😊😊

Thanks for the tips I use many of those techniques as well, this was about sharing how to use a grey layer, so many ways to do things in Photoshop 😊

@@sandradimagery - you are using the wrong tools for a grey layer to be necessary. Grey layer is specifically for the Dodge & Burn tools to work non-destructively. PIXimperfect already did a debunk video years ago and most pros have dropped grey layer since the 90's.

@@TheDocPixel Go back to your room. When did you write the rules for artists. Her image is stunning.

@@nopriors it is. She’s just teaching young people 30-year old techniques to get there. I have to try and hire… and waste time retraining these people.

@@TheDocPixel I doubt any of your staff you hire has been entirely trained by her. Like any thing in PS there are a million roads to Rome. She is simply offering a technique she enjoys using and works wonderfully for her. I am looking forward to redoing some of my images and see if I like the results. There are a couple specifically that I think will benefit.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😊 love being creative and working with composites.

Thanks for watching love adding a touch of fog to some of my images 😊

Great to hear! I use the grey layer for other techniques as well

Good tip 👍🏼 not everyone knows how to work with smart objects. When teaching I try to keep it simple to,avoid confusion or extra explanations

Thanks for watching there are so many ways to achieve different looks in PS
