Chris: That color enhancer trick of making the photo B&W and bringing back the color is something I have NEVER seen. You BLEW me away with that! I am certainly stealing that and will use it. This is why I love your channel so much. You find all these crazy techniques that just make a world of difference. I know your daughters and wife will appreciate what you have done in this photo. I hope your day was great. Keep these types of things coming. You just added a TON of value to my work flow. Thanks my friend. Take care of yourself.
Thank you Danny! I truly appreciate your comments. This color technique is something I stumbled across what I was experimenting with a color pop effect. I was trying to isolate a specific color so I just removed all of the saturation except in the Greens, and slowly added in the other colors and fell in love with the technique. I use this technique often and truly enjoy slowly adding in the color. My family did enjoy the image and my kids love seeing new photos of themselves (even though this one was from 3 years ago) in our family digital photo album.
This approach of resetting the colours with the colour enhancer and then adding them back bit by bit is very clever. The result is very good. Less is often more. I will certainly use this way of working in the future. Thanks for this great tutorial!
Thank you for the comment, and I have found this to be one of the best ways to edit color in images. It does not work all the time, but it at least allows you to see where your colors are in the photo and then add them where you need them.
Another great tutorial Chris. I like the use of the colour filters. A lovely family photo. I had forgotten that the AI tool only has low resolution. I assume that the paid for cloud version may have a higher resolution? I too used the clone & heal tool in an image recently after using the generative AI tool in a similar way to how you did. Again thank you for sharing.
Hey Andrea great to hear from you! As of right now the AI tools produce low resolution results. To overcome that, I use the healing brush or clone stamp tool to add in some of the missing resolution assuming the tool removed the area I was hoping to remove well enough. I am not sure on the stability AI side of things, but I have heard some people say it produces decent results. I think for now the best way of using the tool is to erase the area first and then clone stamp over it to add in some resolution.
@FreeWillPhotos yes using a combination of tools seems the best option at the moment. I can see On1 improving this in the future, especially as computers become even more powerful. Of course there is still no substitute for getting the composition right. Easier said than done when we just want to capture the moment. Again it is always great to see how you enhance an image as many of us don't take perfect images most of the time, myself especially. Thank you again.
Ok I would be happy to help as best I can. Are you receiving an error message that says the photo is outside of the use guidelines? If so, then you wont be able to do anything about that. Would you be willing to share a copy of the photo with me? If so, send it to freewillphotos@gmail.com
Thank you, and I understand the challenge with the generative erase. I think it will get better overtime, but it is a tool that we have available to us now. I don't reach for it all the time, but I am finding that I can use it to remove something and then use the healing brush or clone stamp tool to add texture back into that area.
There are times when it could move slow, but most of the time it is smooth. I think the issue many people have with lag in ON1 is based on the video card they have. On an M1 Mac it seems to work just fine.
@@FreeWillPhotos thanks Chris….jeez, on my M1 with 32g RAM mask brushing is just terrible. Maybe I have something set wrong but so far that eludes me. Super content by the way, really like your clear explanations and demonstrations.

Excellent! Thank you!

Good evening Mr. Chris please I need you help with erase Al. I tried to use and just say retry. That I need something else?

I like the edits, but not too in to the generative stuff... the low resolution is just too obvious

@@FreeWillPhotos Agreed, but with if you're going to grab the clone stamp it's faster to just do it manually... but, I get it 🙂
Have you found on1 2025 to be laggy when brushing on a mask?
