    This guy is so amazing. He's not afraid to make his videos long, and that's how it should be. Learning how to use PS takes time. He even showed us how to open documents because "he doesn't want to keep us confused", while many youtubers just keep jumping steps that seem obvious (to them, at least). He is the best, hands down.

      Then you probably don't know what you are talking about, he showed way too many redundant steps not to mention some incorrect stuff mainly the part about the lighting and overall really REALLY bad workflow which is the MOST important thing.
      You shouldn't learn from it because it's trash as a tutorial, at least this video.

Your video production quality is extremely high, your instructions are easy to hear and follow, there's no wasted time or gimmicks in the video, your methods are very effective and non-destructive, and your final image looks amazing. In addition to all that, you are very friendly and comfortable in front of the camera. Excellent tutorial. Thanks so much!

    I just had the same of yours, Dinda bro!
    What a lession!
    Basic concept in brief:
    Put the subject on the background
    take a layer mask on the subject
    Then a Gradient Map on it
    On gradient map take the sample of Highligts ans Shadows of the background while selecting the Symbol not the layer
    That's it you got a matching background Subject.
    The rest is your caricature!
    Thank you again.

    the reason overlay does not spill out is because it paints over shades of gray but does not paint over 100% white of 100% black it will only paint over shades in between(for those who were confused why) buts amazing I never thought of using if in masks like that, just realised how un open my mind it :P thx man

    @tinderbox218 6 років тому +5

    Great techniques here. One thing you didn't address is when there is a substantial resolution difference between the elements. Zoom in to this image and you'll see the lady is much finer resolution than the more pixelated and fuzzy background. Sometimes you may want to add noise or play with slight posterization on the finer element to bring it down to better match the less resolved element.

  • @fullpreteristnow
    @fullpreteristnow 5 років тому +7

    Good stuff, however we must remember that on the shadow side of every object, there is always "reflected light." This light will be reflected from the ground or sky, etc. All professional photographers and those trained in the arts understand this. I was trained in classical drawing and painting. He should not be getting rid of reflected light. Taking out fringe light from the masking is proper, but he should explore the best ways to bring in natural-looking reflected light. This is where an artistic background (training) is beneficial, since you may have to paint some of this in or use some more sophisticated methods with blending modes to get the reflected light. To my eye, it is not natural to see all reflected light obliterated. This is the problem. If you study drawing and painting, you will know that it is OK to lose the line between subject and shadow in certain areas, but not to obliterate this distinction between the two altogether. In the arts, this is called "lost and found edges." If you google that, you can see examples of what I'm saying. Once you learn this principle, you work will progress to a much higher level. I'd like to see him address this problem in a future video. Perhaps with this same photo. To be clear, there is some lost and found edges going on, but the overall reflected light is not correct and not at all believable in this photo. I still appreciate his teaching though.

    • @Old_Man_Jay
      @Old_Man_Jay 5 років тому +2

      Totally agree! Too bad you made this comment almost 2 years after this video was made. It deserves more attention. There may be tons of people who don't have a background in art and have watched this video and are probably making unconvincing composites because they don't fully understand how light and shadow works.
