Thanks again Colin. I've just purchased the premium tutorial and judging on the first two segments it's brilliant. Hugely informative and easy to follow.
Thanks a lot sir I've been doing dodging and burning wrong but now I know what to do thanks for sharing I'll soon practice this with my recent pics and will definitely notify u
I think this is one of the coolest things you can do to a photo to look great. But I have a question: instead of painting with black/white on a grey layer why not just increase/decrease exposure in various areas of the picture? Is not the same? I am new to photoshop, sorry...
Hey man! I've been trying to find a retoucher/photoshopper that could help me, possibly even get me on the right track to replicate a certain photographer's way of dodging and burning to make his portraits look like works of art. I was wondering if I could send you over some of his work so you could take a look, and either A. Give me your opinion on where I should start, and possibly even B. Edit one of your images or one of mine to show how he did it, or how you think he did it, it would mean the world to me for some professional help.
How are you Call Lynn my name is Andy from the United Kingdom just watched a couple of your videos must say I am very impressed. I am a passionate photographer but not very techie at all I am 61 years old I’ve just purchased Photoshop and Lightroom would love to know more about Photoshop just to visit your CAFE and I want to if you could tell me this how do you not read and write very well at all. The only reason we are having this conversation is I am on an iPad and providing I talk reasonably slow it’s pretty good at writing what I want sometimes it can get embarrassing. Would you Photoshop course be fine for a nugget like me going to subscribe thank you very much for sharing hope to hear from you once again thank you
Have never understood why people insist on using a 50% fill for this; the key, for me, is that it does nothing - if it does nothing -why bother? Otherwise, I find these tutorials pretty amazing.
Nice video but you literally mentioned your 2.5 hour special video three times in the first 1 minute and 20 seconds. Now I understand promotion but it is a bit much
Your mouse cursor is very small with the screen size you use;strongly urge you to use "Pin Point" or the like on your Mac so your cursor is better seen for the visually-challenged (as I am). Check out videos from Scott Davenport or Nicole S Young as their videos are far easier to follow. You may even get more followers if you do so ...
+Marty Turner Thanks for the tip. I checked out both these people you mentioned on youtube and couldn't see them doing anything different on their vides as far as cursor. I did notice that Nichole, only uploads at 720. Maybe the lower res makes the pointer look bigger? I tried Mousepose one time (actually, they made me use it on CreativeLIVE ), and I just couldn't paint with it, too distracting, especially for a paint intensive tutorial such as this. I'll look for a solution that may make it easier for people to follow, without it being distracting. I do appreciate these kinds of comments though, that are constructive to help make my videos more useful.
+photoshopCAFE Thanks for looking into this. However, Im surprised that you couldn't see the difference in Scott's videos! It's quite obvious to me he's using a cursor tool called "pin point" which in default mode places a rigid ring around the cursor. Check out pin point if your would anyway as it will help make there whereabouts of your courser (especially on a high-resolution) far more obvious where you're pointing (especially since you move around the screen often in such fast fashion (as one might expect)).
+Marty Turner Ok I found it. There is no way I can paint with that, too distracting (and I think would get me more dislikes) Ill look for a more subtle solution
+Marty Turner Problem solved! I just figured out how to make my cursor bigger. Look for it in next weeks episode and let me know if it helps you see it better?
Great explanation as to the reasons and rationals of dodging and burning. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Great tutorial! Love that look.
Another great video! I can see how this will help a lot of my work. Thank you.

nice style but a little long to explain the technique. Also didn't explain why you are not using the dodge and burn tools?
Those are destructive. Photoshop 101.
where's the link to the 2,5 hour premium tutorial?

The direction of the light is incorrect. It would appear that the light is coming from behind the ship as opposed to the top left.
I agree 100%
your recorded volume is a bit low. recommend bumping it up a bit or normalize it.
Thanks, I normalize them all now, this was 4 years ago ;)
i like the techniques a lot but the video is painfully slow
Once you have finished it looks faker than fake, almost like a shot from an anime movie...
Often a tutorial goes a little exaggerated so we can see the effects of the techniques, which we then apply as wanted to our own work.
funny, what if someone intentionally wants it anime style.. its just a tutorial to show us how to use those tools.
This was bad. Just bad.
