Top tip for beginners: Watch this a few times and try pausing it and giving each step a try as you go. Then when you edit your next few photos have this playing in the background and following his instructions from just listening. Really helps you pick it all up!
broo my bruch doesn't take away anything it just put some more at 13:28 !!! pleas can anyone tell me how to make the bruch do the same thing as him not adding more !!
Just some notes I wrote down if anybody wants them 2:15 Tweaking the overalls 3:16 Cleaning up minor un-wanted items in the photo with Spot Healing Brush Tool 4:22 Layers 5:34 The pre-sharpening (blurring the image) 6:40 Sharpening - Lightness and darkness 7:52 (Optional) if you want more sharpness 8:35 Warmth 10:01 Making his eyes or mountains in the background lighter or darker 14:35 Slight overall bump in brightness Reminder these settings are all personal preferences
okay so earlier on he split the image into two sections, (an adjustment layer), so that he could change the brightness of only the mountains. but u can notice how there is a line between the two sections, so what he does is grabs the burn to too soften that line so it looks natural
He uses a normal brush with hardness set to 0%, then paints on black (to the adjustment layer) Black = Shows the Effect White = Hides the Effect So you can flip between white and black to get it looking the way you want it. Using a large brush not only makes this step faster but also with the hardness set to 0% gives a nice gradient effect to it, effectively blending the seam out of view.
Legit love how u talk (explain things). You go straight to the point and don’t make things hard to understand. I have adhd and I can’t listen to some people, either they talk too much and do less work and makes things way more complicated then it needs to be! I love the speed and how clean your explanations are!!! I’ve learned so much from you, keep up the good work!!!!
This got me started on editing in photoshop - I stayed in Lightroom because PS was too daunting. Thank you for giving me that confidence boost I needed, Peter!
The content here never fails to impress! The detailed breakdowns, clear comparisons, and exceptional sound design and storytelling are incredibly valuable. Big thanks for the insightful and well-crafted material
I love that you vocalize the keyboard short cuts. Thank you for ALL your tutorials. What got me hooked on your channel is, that you get right to the point. That's so hard to find on UA-cam
I just came from a two hour online class for my photography course, and I understood almost nothing from it. Came here, watched a 17 minute video, and got everything I missed. Awesome!

Hello Peter! I love watching all of your videos. I appreciate all the time it takes for you to get these informative videos out to us. At 52 years old, it's hard for me to learn new things like lightroom and photoshop, but having your videos to look at over and over really helps. How did you ever learn all the things you do with these programs? Thanks so much and keep up the good work.
Bilal Mazhar same exact options m8, except LR has shit clone stamp tool. I hate adobe for making a beast software with such a major downside to my workflow...
This is 100% gold. Honestly, the first time I watched this, it was without PS open at all, just to watch and take it all in - and holy just watching it gets you super excited to edit, but there is for sure a lot to take in! The 2nd time through I paused during every step and tbh it's really not that hard if you do it this way and just take your time through 1 edit. I've used this video for a dozen or so edits now and each time I need to refer to the video less. Eventually I will 100% be doing it on my own - and I've even started to tweak some of the values he's shown in the vid to make it more my own! I get that this is just my learning process and everyone is different, but just wanted to share how I was able to learn from this. Regardless, I hope you keep making awesome content Peter, I truly appreciate the quality of yours and Matti's videos.
I have been watching you for years, BIG BIG FAN, and if I have never said before (although I know I have lol but just for measures) I find your videos so soothing but educational. Literally am thanking you for staring a youtube page because you're 90% of the reason I know what I'm doing when I'm working on something. THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOMENESS!
I not only learn, but I am truly entertained by your videos. I enjoy that you don't take yourself to seriously. Yet still make learning something enjoyable.
Look like cherry angiomas, not zits, but essentially the same as his freckles. Just part of his skin and strange to not erase those if you are going to erase freckles.
WOwowww Blown away!!! I watch so many of your videos.. Basically everyday for the past year or so... but i have not seen footage this far back until now... Awesome to see the growth I mean Empty Plug Sockets and Empty Drink bottles , and don't forget the little piece of starbucks cup hanging in the side... now im far from perfect im new to serious photography, hints the year in of Peter McKinnon,... But its very inspirational to see how far you have come. Now i have to watch the video again to actually learn the tips... LOL Thanks! I appreciate what you do!
I played this video over and over for each photo I was editing (went for a hike, had a whole album) and they turned out amazing, just the way I wanted them! I wanna show them to everybody now! :D
i am not a photoshop pro but you explain it in a very good way so i feel like i am a photoshop pro haha. anyway, thank you so so much for helping us out. this is what i need for my daily posts on IG or any other social media platform. i really appreciate it. keep up the very good work! much love from switzerland :D
Getting into photo editing after taking some engineering classes where I learn the math behind all those effects and filters (like the high pass filter), I appreciate what it does a lot more. Weirdly it even helps me follow the tutorial better.
I think you should use lightroom for this, it is based on editing photos. Or is there another reason that you are using photoshop ? Would love to see you do this in Lightroom somewhere in the near future
Fabian Stroobants I was just thinking the same. I think he could have done the same or a very similar edit on lr but let's give him the credits because the photo is really nice, the edit didn't take too long but yeah.. Would like to see a similar edit on lr
Fabian Stroobants he talk about photoshop but his place of presentation need lightings n not perfect in general for someone who teach us editing bla bla
This is even doable for a pleb in Photoshop like myself. Brought my photo's back to life, used this tutorial but adjusted to my own liking. Very well explained thanks a lot!!!
Thank you so much for helping me get into photography! the skills I'm learning here are helping me to monetize my photography in a time where I'm absolutely desperate - so yeah you're awesome and thank you.
Of all the videos i have watched , you are .... the only one who could teach me this XD I genuinely want to thank you for this , because i just put soft lightening on several pictures!
Repeating the commands is really helpful as I am completely new to photo shop and trying to learn how to use photoshop, illustrator, & premier pro all at once.
This might be the best video of yours that I've seen. You are so entertaining and helpful, dang! Also, I feel like I know the dude in the photo now... like, we're close.
Are all of your tutorials going to strictly be for Mac? I have Windows and can figure out most of the command differences but takes twice as long re-watching certain points in the videos. Thank you.
because it would be obvious that it is edited? and the person in the picture absolutely will ask where is his mole at his forehead and say put it back XD hahaha
First time ever commenting!!! Peter M ure stuff is so so good I literally use for motivation lately I am exactly how you were. I start something, a job or a hobby start and then next I know l give up chuck everything I bought for that thing and go out n to the next thing. And watching you I’ve been slowly feeling that maybe I do it, I just have to start it and see where it goes AND NOT GIVE UP. It’s photography that I’ve always been interested in I just see all the information needed to learn and I panic and don’t take the plunge. But you’re really getting me out of that stupid mentality. THANKS BRO OH AND OF COARSE I LOOOOOVE EVERY VLOG I’VE WATCHED. good luck and keep giving us you “magic “

Real tip for beginners: Ignore this video
broo my bruch doesn't take away anything it just put some more at 13:28 !!! pleas can anyone tell me how to make the bruch do the same thing as him not adding more !!
Just some notes I wrote down if anybody wants them
2:15 Tweaking the overalls
3:16 Cleaning up minor un-wanted items in the photo with Spot Healing Brush Tool
4:22 Layers
5:34 The pre-sharpening (blurring the image)
6:40 Sharpening - Lightness and darkness
7:52 (Optional) if you want more sharpness
8:35 Warmth
10:01 Making his eyes or mountains in the background lighter or darker
14:35 Slight overall bump in brightness
Reminder these settings are all personal preferences
Skilter30 Nice man
13:30 do you know what does he do? painting with what
okay so earlier on he split the image into two sections, (an adjustment layer), so that he could change the brightness of only the mountains. but u can notice how there is a line between the two sections, so what he does is grabs the burn to too soften that line so it looks natural
*sorry he uses the Brush tool not the burn tool
He uses a normal brush with hardness set to 0%, then paints on black (to the adjustment layer)
Black = Shows the Effect
White = Hides the Effect
So you can flip between white and black to get it looking the way you want it. Using a large brush not only makes this step faster but also with the hardness set to 0% gives a nice gradient effect to it, effectively blending the seam out of view.

what about Shift+Command+U? Shift+Ctrl+Alt+U doesn't work.
please do one for Lightroom. thanks
I'm working on one now :)
RobertsonFilms could you do one on instagram edit functions. Thank you
spammy spam
Bilal Mazhar same exact options m8, except LR has shit clone stamp tool. I hate adobe for making a beast software with such a major downside to my workflow...
You got rid of a freckle but not the red bump ://
red bump lives matter
Jovan Nguyen lmao
I know, I think he wanted it to be edited but still look realistic, not like model photoshopped, it's like picture enhancing
It was too big for the tool he was using
If someone knows him it would be obvious he used Ps to delete it.
Been waiting 20 years for a common sense tutorial like this! Thanks!
I absolutely love the last tidbit at the last minute when you talk about styles. You da bomb Peter
crazy! I am new to photoshop and just by watching this i feel like a pro already. thanks for sharing
Honestly, thank you for repeating Shift-Option-Command-E/N over and over, I was one of the people who neeeded it because I kept forgetting.😭😭
mee to
Every new layer he added, I'm just like "Wooooooowwww"
Shift+Control+Alt+N / Shift+Control+Alt+E. Reminder for me of the future

Thought the exact same thing! 😂 not the monster part though Peter! 😂

If you just hit comand shift alt E it will make a stamp. No need to make a new layer first =]
What is Comand Shift Alt E on windows?
@@carlosmorales6985 "Control Shift Alt E" on Windows.

he did things you can't do on lightroom
"sowrry."

would you prefer he said SAHRRY like a damn American
Yes! Finally his Canadian comes out. I definitely rewound and played that back a second time 🤣
Just wanted to say that I've been watching your videos for a while bro, thanks so much for the tutorials, this one is by far my favorite.
This is even doable for a pleb in Photoshop like myself. Brought my photo's back to life, used this tutorial but adjusted to my own liking. Very well explained thanks a lot!!!
Dude you are sooo good at this!! lol
“If this isn’t your CROP of tea” 😂
Teach me how to take great pictures!
background matters most n quality
Thank you. This is perhaps one of the most informative and easiest to follow photo editing videos I have seen. Can't wait to try it out.
Sending loads of love Pete! Keep up your awesome works!
Bro you made me laugh so hard when you gave him zombie eyes that my snot came out
Damn. Found this channel today and I'm loving it. Really helpful and learned quite a bit. Thank you!

Can you make a tutorial about how to make an Intro?
Keep up the good work!
Question. alt+ctrl+shift+e makes a new layer and stamps the image automatically. Is it necessary to make a new layer then?
not really one would be enough
BlackEagle352 Wow thanks for this tip!!!!
Thanks for this, Pete didn't explain this in the video, had no idea. Which layer does it 'stamp'? It looks like it stamps all layers combined...
take a shot every time he says "shift+option+command+end" haha
This hands down the funniest Photoshop tutorial I have ever watched...
I found this video sometime last year and I always come back to it. I love it cause I have learned so MUCH. THANK YOU
I knew that landscape looked familiar. It's my desktop background.
Must be the Valley of the Ten peaks (Canada)
BTW Peter, Thank you so much for your tutorials!! They are amazing and they have helped so much!
Damn man, you are amazing!
Repeating the commands is really helpful as I am completely new to photo shop and trying to learn how to use photoshop, illustrator, & premier pro all at once.
I did my Multimedia Degree through correspondance and I found you today, your awesome at teaching and simplifying things!
haha.. amazing vid.. i really like your energy
Shift - command U on iMac right ? That's cool. What is it on PC ?
Pete ?
Ctrl Shift B i guess
Shift + Ctrl + U :)
The fact that i dont use mac fucks my mind with keyboard shortcuts fam
#realfeels
Right. I got use to it over the years though as I've switched back and forth between Mac and PC.
Boss video, Pete. Thanks for sharing your knowledge so freely!
This might be the best video of yours that I've seen. You are so entertaining and helpful, dang! Also, I feel like I know the dude in the photo now... like, we're close.
To me the image is too saturated :(
Potential this is a primitive example to get you started. To me this video show you how it looks when you mess with contrast.
Totally agree.
then dont do it bro ?
change the opacity
True. And it looks contrasty-ish but I love his videos especially his tutorials.
Are all of your tutorials going to strictly be for Mac? I have Windows and can figure out most of the command differences but takes twice as long re-watching certain points in the videos. Thank you.
Nicholas Staabsticles what are the shortcuts for windows then?
Are you asking because you have windows? I can copy and paste you the hot keys list that I have
If you can it would great for me too :)
rewatched - several times
AM STILL CONFUSED
Shots and rewatched
STILL DONT GET IT
stamp a what now?
Holy Crap, your video tutorials are entertaining and useful...maybe useful should be first, yes first, useful and entertaining! Great Job
Thanks a lot for this man. You just got a new fan. This helped me loads. You’re amazing!
You removed the dust from his shirt, but you didn't removed his giant pimple on his forehead. WHY?
because it would be obvious that it is edited?
and the person in the picture absolutely will ask where is his mole at his forehead and say put it back XD hahaha
i need to be your friend 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
How did he do that ?
Lol
IT'S A BEAUTY MARK
11:19 hahahahahahahahah, that was hilarious :pppp

Love the tutorial! Quick question: At 10:19 when you "stamp that visible on there", which layer did you stamp from?
same question 3 years later. love the tutorial but stuck on this step
Peter looks like a guy left alone on an island for a few months lol..... he looks much cooler now ❤️❤️❤️
