I have learnt more in a few days of watching your videos than I have in the whole past 5 years of bumbling through Photoshop! Thank you for being so free with tips and advice !
I really appreciate how clear your instruction is. I am sure these videos take a ton of time, but they are incredibly helpful. Thanks for sharing your skills and thought processes behind your phenomenal work.
Having decided to spread my range to include dog photography and not having a dog myself, your videos are invaluable. I found some other training. One was super poor. One was super cagey and wouldn't answer questions unless I bought the course. And the third is very good and motivated me until it became very expensive. So I'm very grateful for your videos. I'm learning so much. From dog training onwards. I've been in business for years so I'm not new to a lot of it but o don't tend to go in as much details for editing for example and am very interested in deepening both my knowledge and practice. All that to say thank you!
I am a real estate photog for the last 10 yrs and edit all of my own photos, so I know my way around PS. I recently got a gorgeous German Shep and I am really excited to photograph her. I am so happy I found your channel. You take stunning photography and are such a thorough teacher. I have been binge watching your channel as i sit and edit. I cannot wait to get out and try what I am learning. Thank you for sharing your talent! BTW Your Collie is beautiful. My cousin had collies on his farm and they are a wonderful smart breed.
Jess, this is amazing, exactly what I needed to know to add more depth to the pictures where I use gradients, I am gonna rewatch this several times when using gradients, thank you
wow. wow!! this is so amazing, i was just searching for a video along this sort of style and then you posted! extremely helpful, thank you! i would love to see another full edit at some point, but i know they take a lot of time and effort! keep this up! outstanding!
Some of the best tid bits come out of you doing the same thing but phrasing it differently. This movable colour thing is starting to make sense. Thank you!
I’ve seen this technique used by a few of my favourite photographers and tried replicating it in light room. Always wondered how they do it! Thank you for sharing your secrets 😁
excellent video and thank you for using a quality image. so many youtubers use bad images and over contrast and over or desaturate the images too much... nice natural colors as well.
You know every time I put the gradient tool especially the radio I love how you got this affect but mine takes up the whole page and it's obnoxious. I cannot find a way to turn it off so I can have more control over the effect. If it takes up the whole page especially with like say a yellow or an orange it just really ruins my image sometimes you just want a little bit of accentuating light. Definitely loved what you did here. I'm going to keep Googling and looking for videos on how to get more control

Sent you a message on Facebook, however as you can see going through a greater portions of your videos. You're amazing and cannot say enough good things. wow
I really love your videos, I'm happy I found you! I'm just having a bit problem. I cannot move my "light" in ps, it just drags the masks "shadow" around. The light just stays in the middle. What I'm doing wrong?
I am new subscriber to your channel and love it! I am tying to teach myself photoshop through these tutorials and I cannot drag the mask layer to the gradient. Nothing is locked - is there something I'm doing wrong? I have a special talent for making things not work properly - but this is me, not you! Your instructions are awesome!
Catching up on your videos from the past. Your Full edit video is no longer available? Marked as private. Will it be made available at some point? Would really love to see it. Regards, Keith

Hi Jess, I love your tutorials. Thank you for taking the time to make them. I have a question about the moveable color. I am stuck. I've followed all of your directions up until the point where you can get the color to move. It is stuck behind the dog and when I move it, I get a weird shadow outline of the dog moving around instead of the color. I'm wondering if you know what I'm doing wrong or if I've missed a step? I've tried making sure the gradient is selected and it's not working. Edit!! I found it. The gradient fill box has to be open for the color to move.
Sadly, the full edits had to be removed earlier on this year so they are no longer on the channel 😔 - was there something specific you were looking for? We can always make sub-step videos to help you out 🤓

Hey. I found your channel last week, I've been out five times this week practising single point focus. It's been a bit of a eureka moment for me, so thank you for taking the time to do these tutorials. 🙏 Can I please ask for a quick bit of practical advice. As I'm working with pretty basic lenses (canon 50mm 1.8 and Canon 55-200 4.5) and editing on an app on my mobile (Snapseed) do you think i should prioritize better quality lenses or a PC with Lightroom and Photoshop in order to improve my images? Obviously I would like to do buy both eventually but I'm not sure which I would find more beneficial as my next purchase? I would be interested to hear your thoughts. Thank you again for doing what you do. It's greatly appreciated. 👍
This is such a good question! Honestly, it really is up to you as I can't really advise on how you spend your own money. However, if it were me and I was in the same boat, you have a great lens there in the 50mm. Although pretty "basic", a nifty fifty can do so much, especially if you are using it on a cropped sensor camera. You didn't mention which camera you have, but if you have an APS-C Canon camera, I would personally choose a laptop/PC for editing if you are going to take your photography more seriously in the future. It will make more of a difference to your final images (after learning how to use the programs properly!) than a lens will right now 👌
@@ThatPhotographySpot Thanks for such a quick response. I'm going to expose my ignorance here, but I'm not sure if my camera has the sort of capabilities you mentioned. I'm using a canon EOS 1300D. I know it's pretty much the entry level for DSLR so I'm guessing it probably doesn't have the sort of functions you were talking about. 🤔
at 4.10 ish, when i move the gradient even tho its behind the dog, the outline of the dog moves, im not on the mask but the gradient fill, what have i done wrong
My mask does not stay within the subject when I go to test it and move it around within the dog like you did. The mask is the cut out of the dog and it is moving all around the photo, it isn't staying within the dog. What am I doing wrong, I have rewatched like 10 times ha? Thanks!
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I put the mask on the gradient it doesn't make the gradient moveable it just makes it the shape of the mask. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me loads x
The mask won't make the gradient moveable, the gradient is moveable regardless, but the mask removes if from the dog. If the gradient is on the inside of the mask, you need to invert the mask 😊
Hey Julia, full edits are no longer available on UA-cam they are only accessible for Premium Members via the Members Resource Archive www.thattogspot.com/product/premium-membership/ Hope this helps 😊
Silly question, but how do I get the radial gradient to move within around like yours? I've rewatched the video a couple times but whenever I try to move the gradient, it shows the ghost cutout of the dog. help!
Ok so you're either moving the whole layer or just the mask. You need to double click the actual gradient icon in the layer itself. So where there is a box with the gradient colour in, double click into that, you should have a gradient pop up window showing now and at this point, you can click and drag the radial around the screen. At 3:55 it should show this I hope in this video! :)
Ok. I am really struggeling here.. i do exactly what you do and when i try to move my radient it is like the mask is stuck and i move around the mask (does that make sense?) The contour of my object is moving around.. what do i do wrong?
Ok so are there editing videos that are for beginners? The last 5 videos I’ve tried to follow along with you do like 5 clicks and say a million words and I’m lost. It’s all so fast. Not just your clicking but also the talking. I really want to learn this style of editing but I can’t follow along. I have PS and LR and I’m sitting here lot crying out of sheer frustration. I’ve watched 5 different videos which all recommended I watch other videos. In this one I can’t get 15 seconds in without already being confused how you went from image one to image 2, then there’s 3 or 4 clicks and I’m lost.
I have just replied on another comment but I’ll pop it here too: Hi Amanda, At no point have I ever put that any of my full edits are for beginners, in fact, they’re usually professional level workflows. They’re created for the core community here who move at this speed and that’s totally ok if that’s not you, but you can slow the playback of the videos down using the little “cog” icon and yes, there are videos for beginners on the channel. For example, this series is a great one for learning the basics of different tools: ua-cam.com/play/PLT6csbLNSHwE76a7I2hvmJCuh-tX--B5r.html Or this one for Photoshop basics: ua-cam.com/video/-M0LLrJVbQU/v-deo.html Or this one for a starter workflows: ua-cam.com/video/vViApmH-IOA/v-deo.html There is also a full course for Photoshop beginners over on our website which takes absolute newbies through to being able to follow the full edits on the channel. Hope these resources help but I know that I’m not everyone’s cup of tea so if not me then I hope you find your guide soon ☺️

How do you do this in Lightroom?

You're welcome 😊
@@ThatPhotographySpot Great channel i have subscribed. Thanks a lot
Whoa! Thank you so much for sharing this! Super easy to follow along (even for a complete newbie) and added such a nice element to my photo :)
Thank you so much for those kind words Rachel 🙏 great to know it helped

Glad you enjoyed it!
Another excellent video! Your videos are unmatched for dog/pet photography, thank you so much for sharing your experience. Stay safe!
Thank you! I hope they are useful for you ☺️
it seems really simple at first but has such a great effect
Good luck and have fun 😊
This is the exact video I needed ! Thank you so much, love your whole work🥰

whenever i try to drag and drop the mask onto the gradient it askes me if i want to replace the layer mask...I dont have another layer mask though..
at 4.10 ish, when i move the gradient even tho its behind the dog, the outline of the dog moves, im not on the mask but the gradient fill, what have i done wrong
when i tried to add the layer on top of the other one it didnt work…any tips??

Sounds like you're moving the layer and not the gradient! Double click on the gradient square in the layer and that should help.
Hey I can’t move the gradient around the screen like this how do you do it, it’s only moving my selected subject
I hope you managed to get this sorted. Without further information unfortunately I cannot advise as it could be numerous different things
I don't know what I'm doing wrong but when I put the mask on the gradient it doesn't make the gradient moveable it just makes it the shape of the mask. Thank you for your videos, they have helped me loads x
The mask won't make the gradient moveable, the gradient is moveable regardless, but the mask removes if from the dog. If the gradient is on the inside of the mask, you need to invert the mask 😊
It didnt let me move the gradient filter. No idea why.
Make sure you double click on the actual gradient icon 👌🏼
Why is the full edit video private? How can I watch it?
Hey Julia, full edits are no longer available on UA-cam they are only accessible for Premium Members via the Members Resource Archive www.thattogspot.com/product/premium-membership/

photoshop really intimidates me - is there really much difference between lightroom and photoshop? Or do they do mostly the same things?
here's a link to one of our video's that should help 😊. ua-cam.com/video/szWY_LXosZA/v-deo.html
Is this level of masking attainable using photoshop cs6?
Really not sure on Photoshop cs6.
