Hi Andrei, you are a very good teacher. Making somewhat complicated concepts very simple and clear to the audience. Thank you!

[@DanHammonds]

I've been using Photoshop for over 15 years and I've never known this until now. Thanks!

[@AutoFOCUSED.]

You're the man. Why did I not find you sooner?

[@melissadamonart]

It was a clickable link on video but I did find another color matching guide on psdbox through ur tutorials. It was great! Thank you. :)

[@RandellJohn]

Thank you for posting this tutorial Andrei, I've read a few books on Photoshop, but never really understood what and how the 'Gradient Map', actually works.
This video has totally de-mystified this tool for me.
You've produced another great tutorial here. I'm learning so much about Photoshop since finding PSDBox, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. You're a total star.

[@gigerbrick]

Your tutorials are the best online!

[@browniesandtequila]

One of the best tutorials I've seen on explaining gradient maps. Thanks.

[@Tudoran45]

I kinda like the music. It's relaxing :). Keep up the good work Andrei and thanks for all the tutorials you posted!

[@PatMcDonald41]

Excellent. That was a clear explanation of the Gradient Map

[@danniellynn]

This is really helpful. I've been usig gradient maps and gradient color fills for awhile but I just figured out a way to make it work for me. This explanation made it so much easier though, it'll help me a lot in the future so thank you.

[@mckinnon421]

Andrei thank you so very much for your tutorials...this one especially. They are always concise and very educational.
I hope that you have a wonderful Holiday Season

Your tuts are awesome and help a lot!! Andrei

[@maxman24tv]

thanks for all tutorials

[@AthenaTT]

Wonderful tutorial, thank you so much. The only thing I found offputting was the music, it was quite distracting; it'd be so much easier to focus on what you're saying if the music was off or much, much lower. Thank you so much for posting these, please keep it up!

[@RemusRigo]

Just what I was looking for, thanks for the tutorial...

[@devomor8731]

[@MrPaulowillians]

[@dougieladd]

Hi Andrei - great explanations. Nice!! I agree with Cornelius though... music is distracting. But great tut thanks!

[@BirdAndGarden]

thanks this video.now i understand everything

[@byxys]

Great tutorial! Could you make a video where you explain the different blend modes in detail?

[@melissadamonart]

Great videos! You do such amazing work and you are an amazing teacher!
I tried to watch the color matching video but it was removed by user. Is there an alternate version of it? I think that would be a great tutorial to watch. ^_^

[@sebibv15]

Hai ca esti tare! :)

[@AbuJ3fr]

very nice tut
what is the name of music please ?

[@toongmoong]

thank you

[@dj.dimomid]

thnx Andrei, amazing tutorial, btw I think if you remove the background music its better, kinda distracting us from your words and main topic of the tutorial. Merry Christmas and Happy new year mate :)

[@nadian6057]

Hi Andrei Oprinca... thank you very much for all the tutorials... u are 1 of the best photo editor in the world i guess...i love all ur art works...
hey.. wonder about something, do u know how to upload photo to Facebook without drop their quality? what images setting we should use..? always upset after i uploaded the good pic, but it doesn't look nice in facebook.. really appreciate it if u can help.. thanks in advance Andrei Oprinca! ;D

[@paulallan2754]

Excellent tutorial. Best explanation of the gradient map that I've come across. But, in my opinion, the background music is annoying and distracting. Thanks.

[@nadian6057]

Thank you Andrei & Faby2xlc.. but now i notice, the quality is much better if i set resolution 72px, and width 2000px (the height will automatically change) for landscape picture.. try it.. maybe it will help.. :)

[@nokiafk]

Thanks amazing i personally learn a lot form you one more question may be u think its stupid question u have any link or any one who have 3d max tutorials on his on channel or on you tube plz suggest me or any viewer if u guyz also know please suggest me thanks in advanced to all

[@indiaery]

Thanks, I was very confuse to these option because i didn't find the meaning of gradient fill and gradient map, there is one another option in gradient overlay, how it is different from another, also you suggest me color combination because i do not know more about colors,

[@YasinBolat]

Thanks for tutorial. 1 and 2. The name of the song please?

[@jiasky]

Awesome videos !!! I love them, all. But please, remove background music. Merry Christmas and and Happy New Year 2013 !!!

[@1Celebrindor]

Very good tutorial. As everyone said, music is a bit destracting. I don't think you should have no music, but I do think you should turn it down quite a bit. Also, don't have anything with lyrics as that is extremely distracting.

[@dima9944]

I agree about the music. I prefer just your voice.

[@FabianRadu]

nadia n: i had the same problem with fb photos . what to do is to resize for web but not 72 px try 96 px ....1200 x 800 something like that.
72 is to low ...96 work best
hope it helps

[@paul_meulemans]

Great tutorials, but please no music at the background.

[@damiancanteros]

Muy bueno, muchas gracias.
El video linkeado me lleva a uno de Fernando Alonso :(

[@ArfanSohaib]

and also save for web with PNG and try using SRGB

[@ArfanSohaib]

try using PNG format it may save some for you

[@djwivy5806]

I know this street. Do you live in Chicago?

[@Guggle20]

Andrei !!! its christmas mannn . still working? go get some rest :) kiss hehe

[@mddelman]

Thanks for the great tutorial! I agree with others, though, about the music. It adds nothing and it's distracting. Please don't use it. Thanks again.

[@maxman24tv]

hhhhhh You're right

[@ganeshkokare8233]

PSD (y)

[@timar03]

TOO LOUD MUSIC!

[@melissadamonart]

A clickable link on this video I should say

[@Wayofthedream]

Andrei please no more music, especially with singing, very distracting. Thx
