Dude... I work with Photoshop. Every day. Still, I learn something new from every video of yours... It is insane! Thank you so much!
When you understand the processes behind the software tools, it becomes almost second nature what to do in cases like this. Excellent work!
Thank you @PiXimperfect. Love watching your videos. Always entertaining and educational. Here's an idea for another Photoshop challenge - make a photo from the 80s look as modern as possible. I'm sure you could do it!

This guys so good I just watched this video without even owning Photoshop...
Great tips! Another way you can recover the lines is by using a combination of your favorite tool (curves of course) to make the lines solid black and blow out the color as much as possible. convert the image to greyscale and then make it a 1000dpi bitmap with 50% threshold. This will get rid of pretty much everything but the lines and maybe a spot here or there. Just erase the spots and you have nothing but the lines left. If you find the linework to jagged you can convert it back to a greyscale and apply a guassian blur and add another curve adjustment to fill in the lines, or take the bitmap into illustrator and trace the paths. This is the method we used for print production when we needed crisp clean lines.
yay - the outro song came back!!!
thank you for the fun tutorial! Have a great day!
Brilliant! And while I was watching Nelson kept pointing at me while yelling "hah hah!"
I hope you never stop producing these amazing, incredible, informative, compelling and simple to understand videos...not only is the content fabulous...but your presentation and enthusiasm are without match anywhere else!
The Best Photoshop tutor
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A TUTORIAL LIKE THIS
you are always the master
Mister, you are a wizard.
you are what the pros call, a real pro
This is a useful technique for physical drawings with sketch underneath, as you can sketch and plan everything with color pencils and then draw the final linework with black pencil, ink or marker and clean all the colors. I usually used channels and red and green pencils for easy and fast results (learned this from a Columbian artist, Obsidian).
I think it would be great to show an example of cleaning a document (with paragraphs of text) instead of a coloring book image, as a need for restoring an important work document colored by kids seems more probable and grave to me in every day life :)
In exactly this circumstance, I'd recommend using a Black and White adjustment layer. Float the adjustment layer above the coloured scan and turn all the color sliders above 100. It'll knock out almost all the color data in one operation, leaving just black lines behind. It's usually pretty flawless, but you can always adjust Levels or Curves if needed. It's even non-destructive this way. 👍
Brilliant trick again, I will try this for sure
i love the new idea of photoshop challenge. These are fun to watch
100 points for the clean the screen joke lol 🤣🤘
Yeah, but joke aside, this already happened more often to me than i am willing to admit, and i don‘t even use Photoshop 😅
Always a perfect tutorial by the Great Piximperfect.
Great work and ttutorial
You are awesome as always! ❤️
Didn’t know the name of your channel but when I clicked the video I was thinking “I hope it’s that dude with the cool hair and the crisp mic”. Am not disappointed
Amazing trick
I have zero creativity. These videos are amazing. The presentation is immaculate. This presenter could sell ice in the Arctic. Great videos.
Thank you 🙏
You good sir are super charming. I could watch you all day!! ❤
what a professional and very pleasing to the ear and eyes
My guy, the illustration is already perfect
It'll be much easier in illustrator, but Photoshop is Photoshop... Respect ❤❤
You're on another level!! 👏👏👏
It's been a while that I opened my Photoshop but I still watch your videos😊
Always perfect👌👏
This is literally the easiest thing to do in photoshop. In like 3 super easy steps. Crazy you would do so many steps to accomplish this
This trick is already known. Btw thanks ❣️
Nice lesson
Great work my guy
Best Hagrid voice: "Yer a wizard, Unmesh!" Great, very useful video.
Your work is awesome 😎
Please do a upto date Difficult Hair selection episode. Thanks
Can u make a video for creating a t shirt mockup
That was incredibly calming.
Just epik!
Another great video and always so much fun to watch. I always go away with a new technique to use.
That overlay trick is insane...
That’s awesome
I like the challanges actually !
This was such a cool video!
Best Tutorial
Amazing
Nice sir...
Excellent work thank you for this video. Keep making amazing videos.
I like this man 👍
Super great tips - very helpful indeed! To make them a bit easier to “get” try setting the playback speed to .75. Def gives you a better chance to follow along. 😍🍺
just go to image adjustment go to the threshold and adjust done !! but yes it will not make smooth edges !!
you ara a monster teacher and PS Guru man!
Excellent.
ek number. 👌
Awesome 👍
Compact and very clear video, great work man!
This channel never cesses to make me better at photoshop!
ceases*
can u do a tutorial on how to reverse sharpen a picture, like a photo that has too much denoiser and is ultra sharpened and has glowing edges almost
you show nice techniches in this video, yes i work with some of them too.
but sincerely, i would just path this illustration in illustrator real quick :D
thanks unmesh sir
I don't think we ever used pastels as children. We were never that fancy. We just got crayons, colored pencils, and the like.
Everything is so easy. Only 782 precised mouse clicks.
Brother how to remove covered color from photo
I was just wondering how can ido that without even searching for it on UA-cam I found this Video, this is brillant
Thank you for all these great Photoshop tutorials. But, as I watch this video - is there a way to remove color from skin? Not tattoos meant, but normal paint (similar to body painting). Music band 'KISS' remove face paint for example.
Sometimes I think Unmesh is the Photoshop
Do make a video to perfectly correct the scanned grayscale image(manga/sketches) with the highest contrast so the paper doesn't show up.
@PiXimperfect - When i taught Photoshop, I would literally take a pen and draw on an photo in a magazine, then tear the page out of the magazine one half of the image at a time, then scrunch the two pieces of paper together in a ball and throw that in the garbage can.
I would then turn to the class, and tell them "25% of their mark is awarded for for each fix they can accomplish of the issues with the image.
Many could/would get some but not all of the issues resolved.
I'd like you to demonstrate the same as the exercise uses many of the "fixing" we have to do as artists on various projects.
Not every image we work with comes from a "Free PNG" sitre off the web :)
🔥
G.O.A.T.
Lab color and blending options.
how about to select only black color at start and copy that to blank page?
Instead of removing the shady areas by hand you could use levels to clean it all adjusting the light, medium and dark sliders
damn dude, i learned like 5 things in that video.
Great. Now youtube thinks im interested im photoshop. Great video tho xD
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼😎
personally, a veery little bit of median blur could also help
Don't Have a Cow, Man!
👏👏👏
why not using the black and white effect and put all the colors to white?
Great... Wait. I men - Eyecaramba!
Mmm I like ice creams
Can you give a retouch of sunglass of reflection. And remove reflection and bring original eye. Show us easy way for retouch.
I just go “screw it” and remove it by hand 😂
3:47 - I thought you'd hit the undo button? Oh wait, PS doesn't have this feature that MS Paint has had for forever? What???
please make illustrator tutorials
New challenge: it's the same, but the image is colored beforehand.
You can get good results isolating black lineart if you float a Black and White adjustment layer above a coloured piece. Then just push each of the color sliders up over 100. May need some Levels/Curves after, and is somewhat dependent on the source image, but it can really do the job. This can also be done non-destructively using only adjustment layers, preserving the original.
tablet pen tool model?
I have a quicker solution.
step 1: desaturate until no color is left
step 2: blur slightly
step 3: mess with contrast and brightness until it's fixed
Hello sir
Sir, can you teach me to design marriage albums...?
Why not just threshold ?
😎
Bro I need your help😢
I love u bro
Ok
It was a black and white image ..
How can we recover a coloured image ?
I would have spent 18 hours with the erase tool lol
