If you will put download links in the description for the photos you are using the viewer could use them to learn what you teach and i think it can be very helpful :)
He uses pictures from Fotolia.com and you have to purchase them. Starting at $0.19 if you have a full subscription to Adobe CC you get a free subscription.
Eugene Wong Really hard to find images that are really good quality that are free. They exist, but there aren't enough to fit all their needs. However, their pro tutorials use their own images, so when you buy them it comes with everything you need to follow along.
Hi Aaron, Thank you for another excellent deconstruction. I will add that these days it isn't altogether common to find a tutorial channel where the instructor isn't either smug, preachy, or just plain self-interested, at some point or another. You (or more precisely your PHLEARN persona) demonstrate a level of grace that can only continue to serve you well. Your style of delivery, recognition of the fact that there is more than one way to accomplish any given task and the tacit acknowledgement that your tutorials are as much a journey of discovery for you as they are for us, make your channel infinitely watchable and thoroughly enjoyable. Congratulations. My tutorial request may in all probability require a combination of photography as well as post-processing in Photoshop and is consequently ideally suited to being "PHLEARNed". My request: Would it be possible to create (or recreate) the ethereal, atmospheric look in these now famous photos. www.dpreview.com/articles/1115848347/russian-mother-captures-atmospheric-photos--family-portraits-of-sons-on-farm The images, first seen (by me at least) on dpreview.com over a year ago, ostensibly show the work of Elena Shumilova, a Russian mother on a rural farm. They were touted as the amazing work of a highly talented, self-taught amateur and appear to have been captured in an amazing foggy wonderland forever trapped in the golden hour. More images from Elena can be found here www.flickr.com/photos/75571860@N06 I will add that while there has been some discussion regarding the provenance of the images and the purported amateur status of Ms.Shumilova, the sublime quality of the work and their undeniable beauty remains unassailable. Therefore, if the effect(s) captured and/or created can be achieved (or enhanced) through some combination of prime lenses, gelled flash photography, blur filters and post-processing generated fog, I believe that I would not be the only PHLEARN subscriber interested in hearing your take on it. Warmest regards, Edward M.
Great tut especially looking at the technique. I believe though you missed two points. First I believe you should flip, in this case the Paris picture first to get a realistic reflection. Second thought is: Both glasses are in the same pane (hope this is the correct word). So I believe it's impossible to have the same reflection in both glasses. This would only be possible when the left glass is bent towards the camera. Taking the whole flipped Paris image and mask the glasses out is more realistic.
Are there any channels like Phlearn but instead of Photoshop, they use Premeire Pro or a video editing software? I just love the style and format of Phlearn :)
Life saver. I have a photography 10 hour exam for the next two days and this is exactly what I need to learn to bash out a good picture. Thanks so much!
Forgive me if you've done this, cuz there are quite a few videos lol but I'd love to learn how to change the colour of a car's paint. Every time I use the colour replace feature it never looks the greatest. So some pointers would be awesome :)
Thanks Aaron! Thanks Phlearn! With you, i'm improve my PS abilities! I'll continue to watch the videos of your channel and i'll follow you in all the other tutorials! I learn a lot of things, it's great! Good work!
Aaron you look like an extra from Sons of Anarchy. However, in your case it would be Sons of Phlearn. Don't steal that, I'm filing the trademark as I type this. You're getting better with the rapid speech rate. Keep up the good work.
Hi guys I know this is an old tutorial but would it possible to update it as Photoshop CC has had a move round of tools and now cant follow it thanks Tony
Just asking, do you have a video to show how to make this effect but on a person's face? as is the dips and curves and bends that a face has but have sort of a facepaint effect that goes on a face seamlessly. Thanks.
damn you know how to teach :D, it is not every one can teach like that, i love your videos, so cool, every episode i learn new stuff!! i wish you were my personal tutor xD aha. keep with the good work and to the entire team of phlearn to. xD
Hey Adam. Just a thought. Should the reflection from a window or sunglasses be blurry or not in focus? The stuff in the reflection is not on the same focal area as the person, right? If the person is 3 meters away and the imaginary scenery is 150 meters away... Not to go all physics but just wanted to know your thoughts. :)
Thanks a lot for your amazing videos. Quick questions here. Every time I'm pasting something I copied form one layer into another layer, I'm losing my selection of that particular part I'm pasting. I must have changed something... You know how I can keep the selection, even after I pasted it? So that I can use that selection to do a blur or whatever..
I will give you Thanks a lot , for this tutorial , because First time I saw this reflection tutorial by you, but there is one problem created in my case when I apply this tutorial on my subject. As per your tutorial you had select the sunglasses by magic wand tool with , selected of that layer which is invisible. After selection you will go on refine edge option, But one thing AARON in my case with my subject, when I select the invisible area of that where my object is situated, and then go on my refine edge option, at this time my refine edge option is not highlighted , but when I go throw the background layer, it will highlighted, please guide me or reply me how . I will check all the option , which you had tell in your this tutorial.
I don't know if anyone has remarked on this yet but that shot of Paris shows a barge that is similar to the one that was used for the character of Duncan Macleod in the television show "Highlander: The Series". It's even in the same location.
I think I missed something. When you add the gradient you appear to be able to add more than one gradient to the layer mask. When I do this the new gradient replaces the old one. What am I doing wrong?
Hey Phlearn so I'm doing a project where I'm taking old movies like The Wizard of OZ and Indian Jones and I'm compositing images into them but I'm having trouble making the image I'm incorporating look like the movie does. It doesn't have that movie grain to it that i truly desire. Please help it would be truly approached
Damnnnnn it man when i use the magic wand tool, it selects almost the intire face! And when i press alt, to get rit of the area that i don't want, i just deletes the whole selection.... I hate my photoshop.. please help
That part where you're doing stuff with the gradient tool and then you're making the left side of the left part of the sunglass transparent, that doesn't work for me
I have a quick question for you guys at phlearn- what cameras do you use? I'm sure you get this question a lot. I am an amateur photographer, but want to get a professional camera so I can get practice before I go to college (for photography). I have about $3,000 saved up as of now. Right now I have a Canon PowerShot SX510 HS. It's okay, but not great for professional-looking pictures.
Ah this is really cool, I`m sure i`ll have need for this in the future
I believe phlearn may be my favourite youtube channel !

oh, okay
Mine 'till dawn Maybe he should use photos that we can use for free. It would be much easier for us.

I always have trouble using the magic wand tool. A lot of my subjects sort of blend in with the background. Any advice?

Conor Hildebrandt I would us a blend mode over a layer. I think hue is the correct one.
Did you find the video?
i can't find refine edge on photoshop 2019
thank you, didn't know about Spherize function
Would some sort of defocus to the reflection images have been appropriate to add as well?

Hey Adam. Just a thought. Should the reflection from a window or sunglasses be blurry or not in focus? The stuff in the reflection is not on the same focal area as the person, right? If the person is 3 meters away and the imaginary scenery is 150 meters away... Not to go all physics but just wanted to know your thoughts. :)
Great!!! can you tell me also how can i make the glasses black or darker? if they are brown?
That looks like a really fun trick to try! Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks a lot for your amazing videos.
Quick questions here. Every time I'm pasting something I copied form one layer into another layer, I'm losing my selection of that particular part I'm pasting.
I must have changed something...
You know how I can keep the selection, even after I pasted it? So that I can use that selection to do a blur or whatever..
Great tutorial, thank you sir!!

Fantastic work!
Very nice
Awesome Video ! i cant wait to try it out !
Awesome tutorial.
Great tutorial!
I love it! this is cool! thanks Aaron!
Aaron you rock !!!! Thank you so much for this.
I will give you Thanks a lot , for this tutorial , because First time I saw this reflection tutorial by you, but there is one problem created in my case when I apply this tutorial on my subject.

Love your videos. Top notch!
Can you do a reflection tutorial for water?
Wow sooooo cool :)
Awesome, thanks for the lesson!
nice work fella, i love the videos , thanks so much
How do you make those studio shots were the shadows are super dark and used like to cover erogenous zones. Like when model is completely naked
I don't know if anyone has remarked on this yet but that shot of Paris shows a barge that is similar to the one that was used for the character of Duncan Macleod in the television show "Highlander: The Series". It's even in the same location.
Thanks to u Aaron i like this PS with u, everyday im watching a PS video and not need to go to a course.Go on your vids you re best
AWESOME -- THANKS I did a reflection in a astronaut face mask
Hey Aaron, what's the name of that drawing thing you use? I'm sorry I don't even know what that is haha. Thanks!
I think I missed something. When you add the gradient you appear to be able to add more than one gradient to the layer mask. When I do this the new gradient replaces the old one. What am I doing wrong?
Ignore the above. I had 'black to white' gradient selected, not 'foreground to transparent'.
Thank you for this Tutorial it was awesome!!!
Great job
Can you do a tutorial for making a reflection in water?
Hello sir, I really like your work & I'm a big fan of your work, would be really nice of you if you make some more tutorials on color grading.
***** Thank you very much sir for these links, will watch all of them again & will definitely wait for some more phun tutorials.
Tight Work!!
Hey Phlearn so I'm doing a project where I'm taking old movies like The Wizard of OZ and Indian Jones and I'm compositing images into them but I'm having trouble making the image I'm incorporating look like the movie does. It doesn't have that movie grain to it that i truly desire. Please help it would be truly approached
nice vid m8 you are my rekking bal
gracias tio..like
PLEASE!! DON'T STOP MAKING VIDEOS! you guys are the shit! maybe incorporate advanced techniques?
thank you for this!
man you made me love learning PS thx a lot
Does anyone know what part of this process would be changed if I wanted the image to look like a reflection in a camera lens?
Damnnnnn it man when i use the magic wand tool, it selects almost the intire face! And when i press alt, to get rit of the area that i don't want, i just deletes the whole selection.... I hate my photoshop.. please help
Would this technique work for reflections in puddles?
It should work. Just make sure if the water has ripples in it that you distort it with the curvature of the water.
Cameron Maiden Great Thanks
always the best
My gradient tool didn’t allow me to do foreground to transparent, every other option works perfect but it litterally doesn’t work no matter what I do
Aaron I would like to know what is the name and brand of the pen that you use to edit all the images in Photoshop
He uses a WACOM Intuos Pro Small. www.wacom.com/es-es/products/pen-tablets/intuos-pro-small
you are master of manipulation ;) Thanks a lot :)
That part where you're doing stuff with the gradient tool and then you're making the left side of the left part of the sunglass transparent, that doesn't work for me
I would love to see some PS Touch tutorials for on the road quick edits
Hahahahahaha... never!
yeah!!!
Great video ;)
(What is the name of the intro music?)
What editing software do you use?
OMG. its veryy cool ;)
I have a quick question for you guys at phlearn- what cameras do you use? I'm sure you get this question a lot. I am an amateur photographer, but want to get a professional camera so I can get practice before I go to college (for photography). I have about $3,000 saved up as of now. Right now I have a Canon PowerShot SX510 HS. It's okay, but not great for professional-looking pictures.
I believe he uses a Canon 5D Mark II. Not 100% certain
Awesome, thanks a ton!
First Of Al l , Thanks a lot, AARON, For the thing, In Search Of I am , I got by Your this tutorial.
I need to learn how to do this with regular glasses.
