    “Remember we are creating art!” Great quote. Often times photographers get stuck on rules or trapped into possible critiques of over blown under exposed. Thanks for what you do, amazing.

    I watched this video on Monday and filed it away in my mind for future reference. Today one of Thailand's greatest actors, Sorapong Chatree, died. It is tradition here to post photos of people who have died in black-and-white, so I used this technique to convert a photo I took with him during the only film we worked on together. The result was far better than how I would have done it before, by simply desaturating and adjusting the curves. I just wanted to thank you for this very timely tutorial.

    PiXimperfect is high end! Why? 1st: His tutorials deliver high worthy content by every second. No frills, no blabla ... 2nd: Although he speaks faster and faster over the years his enunciation remained excellent and easy to understand. 3rd: Every tutorial is designed at a top didactical level. 4th: He combines all the before mentioned qualities to an outstanding overall performance thus underlining the main content statements in an acting way.

    • @jasonlacey5979

      The fact that he speaks so fast has always kept me away from his excellent content.. great shame because as you say he delivers high worthy content. Guess he has enough subsribers to not care any more..

    Love it! Speaking of Gradients..How about a short on what "Smoothness" actually means in the world of photoshop. When applying gradients, the smoothness option has the effect of changing the transition of Color 1 to color 2 in a way that seems 'non-linear'.. Can you explain what this is actually doing to the values of pixels?? Thank you!!

    This is only tangential to the video. Back in the days I had a colorizing hobby, I used gradient maps (with more than just two colors though) to basically the reverse of this. It wasn't as super effective as it is for taking color out, but it did simplify a lot of work with some elements. Like to make a first layer for skins, and with some extra trickery tree foliage and small branches would get really good results with free "masking" if the is good B&W contrast between the tree and whatever is behind it (usually the sky, so usually yes).
