Thanks for the honest feedback. Will bear that in mind.

Thanks for watching and commenting John. Plenty more content on the channel with many more in the pipeline yet to upload. Keep watching please.

Glad to hear it Mick. Do get in touch once you've worked through the rest of the videos if you want me to cover anything else specifically.

Thanks so much Jen, glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Steve. I'm not running any at the moment but am planning to hold some workshops at Smethwick Photographic Society (in Oldbury) in the near future if that helps. Let me know.

Yes I would if the day and time suits, thanks again and I look forward to hearing from you 👍

Thanks for the query. As each gradient overlay needs to be on a seperate pixel layer (in order to use the blending modes) the only practical way to carry your requirement would be to use different layers for each gradient overlay. Using multpile layers allows you to fine tune each edit you need to do without any risk of affecting the rest of the image. Plus, it also allows you to use blend modes between those layers if needed. Or indeed delete any you no longer want. I hope this helps.

Hi Tony. Respectfully, I disagree. One of the main unique features of AP is that it isn't bloated and overly complicated for new users of high end editing software. sure it has different tools, and different ways of implementing these tools BUT it isn't more difficult than the industry leader Photoshop! That is not only my opinion but many others too.

Hello there, and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The simple answer for your query would be to use masks for each gradient you apply. As each gradient will be on its own pixel layer just add a Mask to the layer you wish to control the gradient of. Then simply use the paint brush tool and 'paint' with a shade of grey (dark paint masks, light reveals). Try and let me know how you get on. If a quick video would help then I can load one up quickly.

@@SiddiqueHussain21 thank you for your reply… I tried but I’m a beginner and failed.. here is what I want to do… I have an image with a few hills one after another in the background, I want to reduce the exposure from bottom left of the image to the ridge of the closest hill and its ridges to be high exposure and more visible and then similar thing from that ridge to the ridges of the next hill behind it (low exposure to high) and then the same for the third hill and the rest of the image to the top right corner to be darkened… if you make a video that’s much appreciated… I am still struggling how it works and whether I need to do other things than just using a gradient tool!

Got that. I'll produce a video and post it in a day or so and give you an advance heads up.@@xbfotos

Glad to oblige. Loits more everyday tips and shortcuts on other videos on the channel, do take a look.

Thanks for taking the time to comment Luca. Do keep watching I've got lots of videos in the pipeline.

Much appreciated. Keep watching....

Thanks for watching Juliet and also for taking the time to comment. Keep watching....

Yes, you're right you could also use the 'Fill Layer' option but remember i happened to use the rectangle shape but of course you could use a different shape (and modify it) in order for the desired effect to be in a specific area of the image only or for more graphics type of work. Thanks for watching, as usual in software there is usually at least 2 ways to skin a cat!

Hello there. Yes of course you can either select foreground or background whichever is the easier and most effective and then together with an invert selection option you can obtain the selection you want to work on.

Glad you found it useful John. I trust you will find some time watch a few more tutorials on the channel. If there is naything specific you want me to cover do let me know via the comments.

Thank you your comment, yes Photo Mechanic is fast and much more detailed in the cataloguing and tagging department but lacks many other features which most average photographers want and need. Remember this software dates from before Adobe Lightroom and has therefore been superceeded by that ubiquitous software. And of course Lightroom and Photo Mechanic are NOT FREE but Adobe Bridge is.

Thanks for watching Edward.

Yes, I do like to ramble at times. I'll bear that in mind. Thanks for watching and subscribing.

On a PC use Ctrl + C to copy and Ctrl + V to paste. On a Mac use the Cmd key instead.

Thanks jcarson. Much appreciated. I'm in the process of doing more videos regarding upscaling assests, images and elements of a photo. Keep wayching...

Yes, indeed I am in the process of recording lots of new content in V2 and will be posting in the next few days. Thanks for watching and making contact.

Thanks for the feedback. Once all of your editing is done then simply choose whether you want to save the end result as a finalised image (use File, Export and choose the file format) or as a work in progress (use File, Save As). The latter saves in the .afphoto file format which retains all layers and editing history. For most the former option will be the go to option. In future videos I'll inlcude the saving option at the end. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Steve. Glad you found it inspirational. Do let me knoe how you get on....

@@SiddiqueHussain21 Thanks again, went out today and tried it by The Thames and processed in AF2 (slightly different) but by following your advice step by step great results. I did not know about Lens correction, nice tip Thanks again.

@@stevejacob7158 Nice ti hear that Steve. Yes, there will be a few differences between AP1 & AP2 but we'll get to those once i start uploading all of the videos made using the newer version of the software.

Thanks for the feedback Steve. Yes - the HSL adjustment Layer is probably my favourite quick and creative fix to many a picture. Actually, I am planning on doing another video just on this topic alone. Watch out for it....

Thanks for watching Steve and also appreciate you taking the time to comment. I trust you will find the other videos useful and inspirational too. Many more on the way. Keep watching.

Oh yes Riff blend modes are so powerful. Check my other recent videos for some aspects of their use but I'm planning on doing a short series on the practical uses of some of the more common blend modes

Thanks Smiffy. Much appreciated.
