Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,800
have a look at this image imagine how
2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,120
hard it would be to select the sky
3
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,799
behind it right so how do we do that
4
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:06,600
first of all let's click on the lock to
5
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,820
unlock the layer then double click on
6
00:00:08,820 --> 00:00:10,260
the right hand side of the layer right
7
00:00:10,260 --> 00:00:12,300
about there this will open the layer
8
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:14,519
style dialog box inside of that we have
9
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:15,900
to wonder what do we want to remove
10
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,060
first of all we want to remove the blues
11
00:00:18,060 --> 00:00:20,039
now where do you want to remove it from
12
00:00:20,039 --> 00:00:21,840
we want to remove it from the bright
13
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,480
areas so in the Blended section instead
14
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,100
of the Grays click on the drop down
15
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:28,439
choose blue because that's what we want
16
00:00:28,439 --> 00:00:30,240
to remove which area do we want to
17
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,920
remove it from from the bright areas or
18
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:33,899
the dark areas the bright areas right we
19
00:00:33,899 --> 00:00:36,180
want to remove the brighter Blues the
20
00:00:36,180 --> 00:00:37,440
right hand side represent the bright
21
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,420
areas the left hand side represent the
22
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:41,820
dark areas so as soon as you begin to
23
00:00:41,820 --> 00:00:43,620
take the slider to the left have a look
24
00:00:43,620 --> 00:00:45,960
at it you've got a transparent
25
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,000
background so cool isn't it have a look
26
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,940
at it this is a little harsh right the
27
00:00:50,940 --> 00:00:52,440
more you take this ladder to the left
28
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,780
the kind of harsher it gets so how do
29
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:56,219
you make the transition between the
30
00:00:56,219 --> 00:00:58,199
areas that show up and the areas that
31
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:00,660
are transparent smoother how do you make
32
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:02,399
this transition alright so this area
33
00:01:02,399 --> 00:01:04,319
shows up this area doesn't show up
34
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,840
there's a very harsh transition so how
35
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,700
do you make the transition smoother you
36
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:10,799
hold the ALT key or the option key click
37
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:12,840
on the slider to break it apart and take
38
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:14,760
it apart this makes the transition
39
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,799
smoother you can take it apart like this
40
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:18,659
take it a little more to the right and
41
00:01:18,659 --> 00:01:21,420
have a look at it this is so darn
42
00:01:21,420 --> 00:01:23,700
amazing isn't it and that my friend is
43
00:01:23,700 --> 00:01:25,799
the magic of blendif if none of this is
44
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,720
making sense don't worry we're gonna get
45
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,159
through it together so what is plentif
46
00:01:29,159 --> 00:01:30,960
in the first place the easiest way to
47
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:33,000
understand blendif is this blend if
48
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,579
controls which area show up and which
49
00:01:35,579 --> 00:01:38,400
areas hide based on brightness levels
50
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,619
that's all there is to it here's a super
51
00:01:40,619 --> 00:01:43,140
easy example to illustrate that so here
52
00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:45,240
in layer one we have a simple gradient
53
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,119
from black to white on layer 2 we have
54
00:01:48,119 --> 00:01:50,520
bright orange to a slightly darker
55
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,740
orange simple ingredients alright now
56
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,140
let's open up the blendif for Layer Two
57
00:01:55,140 --> 00:01:57,540
and how do we do that we double click on
58
00:01:57,540 --> 00:01:59,040
the right hand side of the layer this
59
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,840
opens up the layer file dialog box
60
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,360
inside of that at the bottom you'll find
61
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,640
the blendif section now let's say you
62
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,799
want to remove the bright areas of layer
63
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:10,860
1 from layer 2. does that make sense no
64
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:12,599
let us make it clear
65
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:14,879
so this is layer one right let's say you
66
00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:17,280
want to remove these bright areas of
67
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,220
layer 1 from layer 2. keep in mind we
68
00:02:20,220 --> 00:02:22,200
have opened the blender for layer 2. so
69
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,180
whatever we do will happen to layer 2
70
00:02:24,180 --> 00:02:26,640
anyway but we want to remove the bright
71
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:30,540
areas of layer 1 from layer 2. now what
72
00:02:30,540 --> 00:02:32,940
is layer 1 in relation to layer 2 this
73
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:35,700
is layer 1 this is Layer Two now what is
74
00:02:35,700 --> 00:02:38,580
layer 1's relation to layer two layer
75
00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:42,300
one is a layer under layer 2 right
76
00:02:42,300 --> 00:02:44,760
so in other words we can say that layer
77
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,540
1 is an underlying layer right so we
78
00:02:48,540 --> 00:02:51,540
want to remove the bright areas of layer
79
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:54,959
1 from layer 2 so we have to work with
80
00:02:54,959 --> 00:02:57,239
the underlying layer sliders
81
00:02:57,239 --> 00:02:59,400
now what do we want to remove we want to
82
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560
remove the bright areas the right hand
83
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,300
side is for the bright areas the left
84
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:05,040
hand side is for the dark areas very
85
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560
clearly shown right here so we have to
86
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560
take the slider from the right let's
87
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,560
make it smaller to the left have a look
88
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,319
have a look what's happening
89
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:19,379
we are removing the bright areas of
90
00:03:19,379 --> 00:03:23,519
layer 1 from layer 2. that's all now if
91
00:03:23,519 --> 00:03:26,220
you work with the left slider the
92
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:28,680
opposite would happen now all that is
93
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,239
happening is that the areas are being
94
00:03:30,239 --> 00:03:32,400
removed based on the brightness levels
95
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,000
of the underlying layer based on the
96
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,340
brightness levels of layer 1 why because
97
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:40,620
it is an underlying layer and we are
98
00:03:40,620 --> 00:03:42,480
working with the underlying layer
99
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,780
sliders so here's a recap left slide off
100
00:03:45,780 --> 00:03:47,459
the underlying layer removes the dark
101
00:03:47,459 --> 00:03:50,220
areas of the underlying layer from the
102
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:52,080
current layer right slide of the
103
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,640
underlying layer removes the bright
104
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,700
areas of the underlying layer from the
105
00:03:56,700 --> 00:03:58,680
current layer everything will happen to
106
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,599
the current layer now here comes the
107
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:02,760
current layer what if you want to remove
108
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,180
the bright areas of the current existing
109
00:04:06,180 --> 00:04:08,879
layer from the current existing layer
110
00:04:08,879 --> 00:04:11,700
then you work with the current layer now
111
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:13,200
we know that at the top we have a
112
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,480
brighter orange at the bottom we have a
113
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,579
darker Orange so let's say I want to
114
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:19,798
remove the bright parts of just this
115
00:04:19,798 --> 00:04:22,019
current layer so if you work with this
116
00:04:22,019 --> 00:04:25,080
slider see the top goes away if you want
117
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,900
to remove the dark areas do the opposite
118
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:31,080
and there you go also as you can see the
119
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,180
transition is Harsh once we do this have
120
00:04:33,180 --> 00:04:35,040
a look if we take the slider of the
121
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,720
underlying layer from right to left we
122
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,600
are removing the bright areas of the
123
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,820
underlying layer from the current layer
124
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:43,919
that is clear to you right
125
00:04:43,919 --> 00:04:46,259
but this transition is very harsh so how
126
00:04:46,259 --> 00:04:48,240
do we make the transition smoother we
127
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,580
hold the ALT key or the option key click
128
00:04:50,580 --> 00:04:53,460
on the slider to break it apart and the
129
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:55,680
more far apart you take it the smoother
130
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,720
the transition will be so if you take it
131
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,580
absolutely far apart the transition is
132
00:04:59,580 --> 00:05:01,440
very very smooth so that my friend is
133
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,360

description to keep up with the latest
159
00:05:48,539 --> 00:05:50,280
pricing and discounts now one of my
160
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:51,720
favorite things with blend if is adding
161
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,820
shine and dimension and you can easily
162
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:55,680
use this technique to add shine to hair
163
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,419
it's just like going to the hair salon
164
00:05:57,419 --> 00:06:00,000
and getting a few highlights even better
165
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,560
you don't have any side effects right
166
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,780
here so first of all let's create a
167
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:05,160
solid color adjustment layer click on
168
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,419
the adjustment layer icon and then
169
00:06:06,419 --> 00:06:08,940
choose solid color for now just hit ok
170
00:06:08,940 --> 00:06:10,199
now we are not going to keep the
171
00:06:10,199 --> 00:06:12,840
highlights black let's turn it off let's
172
00:06:12,840 --> 00:06:14,340
double click on the symbol of the
173
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:16,500
adjustment layer we only did it so that
174
00:06:16,500 --> 00:06:18,300
we can turn it off and open it again to
175
00:06:18,300 --> 00:06:20,220
sample the actual color of the Highlight
176
00:06:20,220 --> 00:06:22,979
so we'll sample a color like this that's
177
00:06:22,979 --> 00:06:24,720
fine if it's not sampling you want to
178
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,639
make sure that sample all layers is
179
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:28,560
selected from right here and you can
180
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,479
choose a brighter shade the best part
181
00:06:30,479 --> 00:06:32,160
about it is that you can change it later
182
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,840
the way we are doing it we are doing it
183
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,240
absolutely non-destructively so hit okay
184
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,000
once you're satisfied turn it on select
185
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,940
the mask press Ctrl or command I now all
186
00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:43,380
you have to do is to take the brush you
187
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:44,580
already know where we are going with
188
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:47,280
this take a soft round brush make it
189
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:49,380
slightly larger and just dab in the
190
00:06:49,380 --> 00:06:50,759
areas where you want to add the shine
191
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,280
that's all so let's dab right about
192
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,560
right here with white make sure the
193
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,120
foreground color is white you can always
194
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,759
press X to toggle between the foreground
195
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:02,280
and the background color let's dab right
196
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,080
here make sure flow and opacity are at
197
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,180
100 there we go we have some shine I
198
00:07:06,180 --> 00:07:09,120
know it looks odd wait for it let's add
199
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,240
some shine right here some right over
200
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:17,039
here some may be right here like that
201
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:19,319
maybe in this area
202
00:07:19,319 --> 00:07:21,360
do you think it's more than enough I
203
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,979
guess it's more than enough all right
204
00:07:22,979 --> 00:07:25,259
now how do we make the shine brighter
205
00:07:25,259 --> 00:07:27,000
because this is not going to make
206
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,160
anything darker right it's a shine it's
207
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:30,900
going to make things brighter it's it's
208
00:07:30,900 --> 00:07:33,060
a bright spot so what is the blend mode
209
00:07:33,060 --> 00:07:34,800
which makes things brighter we just
210
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,900
learned it screen in the previous
211
00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:39,479
lessons do remember to watch it change
212
00:07:39,479 --> 00:07:41,639
the blend mode from normal to screen
213
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:44,039
there you go this is bright the shine is
214
00:07:44,039 --> 00:07:46,259
there but it's still looking odd you
215
00:07:46,259 --> 00:07:47,940
know why it's looking odd because it's
216
00:07:47,940 --> 00:07:49,979
also brightening the dark areas so we
217
00:07:49,979 --> 00:07:51,960
want to take it away from the dark areas
218
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,780
of what from the dark areas of the layer
219
00:07:54,780 --> 00:07:57,360
that lies under it or the underlying
220
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,979
layer see where we are going with this
221
00:07:58,979 --> 00:08:00,900
now double click on the right hand side
222
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:02,880
of the Highlight layer and we want to
223
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,860
take it away from the dark areas right
224
00:08:04,860 --> 00:08:06,419
so we have to work with the left hand
225
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:09,780
side sliders now dark areas of what dark
226
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:12,060
areas of this subject layer or the
227
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:14,280
underlying layer so we will work with
228
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,020
which slider this slider right here
229
00:08:16,020 --> 00:08:18,539
underlying layer the left hand side so
230
00:08:18,539 --> 00:08:20,160
take the slider to the the right just
231
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,139
like that but again this is Harsh so how
232
00:08:22,139 --> 00:08:23,759
do we make the transition smoother we
233
00:08:23,759 --> 00:08:25,919
hold the ALT key or the option key click
234
00:08:25,919 --> 00:08:27,780
on the slider to break it apart and take
235
00:08:27,780 --> 00:08:29,759
it apart like that have a look at the
236
00:08:29,759 --> 00:08:31,979
shine that is just incredible so I'm
237
00:08:31,979 --> 00:08:34,200
going to keep it about this way I like
238
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,958
that it's subtle all around hit okay now
239
00:08:36,958 --> 00:08:38,700
here's the best part you can double
240
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:40,260
click on the symbol of the adjustment
241
00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:42,539
layer this opens up the Color Picker and
242
00:08:42,539 --> 00:08:44,459
you can change the highlight color after
243
00:08:44,459 --> 00:08:46,560
the fact you can make it more saturated
244
00:08:46,560 --> 00:08:49,680
less saturated reddish
245
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:51,959
yellowish it's up to you so I'm going to
246
00:08:51,959 --> 00:08:54,240
keep it this color maybe a little less
247
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,740
saturated that's up to you you can make
248
00:08:55,740 --> 00:08:58,200
it brighter or darker this is so
249
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,760
convenient now if you want to add an
250
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,200
extra layer of highlight that is also
251
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,000
possible you can have it of a different
252
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,040
color but for Simplicity I'm going to
253
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,899
have it for the same color let's select
254
00:09:06,899 --> 00:09:09,000
this layer press Ctrl or command J to
255
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,560
make a copy we have some additional
256
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:12,540
highlights so double click on the right
257
00:09:12,540 --> 00:09:14,760
hand side of the layer again and make it
258
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,620
finer by the way if you want to reset
259
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:18,660
the blend if you can right click on it
260
00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:21,899
and then choose remove where did that go
261
00:09:21,899 --> 00:09:23,399
it's hard to find sometimes there's so
262
00:09:23,399 --> 00:09:25,980
many things right in here clear layer
263
00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:28,500
style there you have it it removes all
264
00:09:28,500 --> 00:09:29,940
the layer styling that you apply to it
265
00:09:29,940 --> 00:09:31,860
it also means that it also removes the
266
00:09:31,860 --> 00:09:33,839
blend mode so let's set it back to
267
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:35,339
screen double click on the right hand
268
00:09:35,339 --> 00:09:37,980
side of the limb and this time make it
269
00:09:37,980 --> 00:09:41,760
even finer so about this much hold the
270
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,680
ALT key option key click on it to take
271
00:09:43,680 --> 00:09:46,440
it apart like this
272
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,080
this is more precise highlights so
273
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,180
here's the before here's the after now
274
00:09:51,180 --> 00:09:53,399
it also affects the skin a little bit so
275
00:09:53,399 --> 00:09:54,839
how do you take that away from it first
276
00:09:54,839 --> 00:09:56,459
of all I feel the Highlight is too much
277
00:09:56,459 --> 00:09:58,080
so I'm going to take the right broken
278
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,360
slider all the way to the right hit okay
279
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,399
and then we're gonna make a group of
280
00:10:02,399 --> 00:10:04,200
both of these so select the first one
281
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,940
hold the controller command select the
282
00:10:05,940 --> 00:10:07,800
second one both of them are now selected
283
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,959
press controller command G this creates
284
00:10:09,959 --> 00:10:12,420
a group and click on the mask button
285
00:10:12,420 --> 00:10:14,580
right here take the brush black as the
286
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:16,920
foreground color and simply remove the
287
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,019
extras that's all let's take a look so
288
00:10:19,019 --> 00:10:20,760
here's the before here's the after
289
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,740
sometimes this can be too much we are
290
00:10:22,740 --> 00:10:24,959
human so you can always decrease the
291
00:10:24,959 --> 00:10:26,580
opacity to something that works for you
292
00:10:26,580 --> 00:10:29,459
we're gonna go for probably 74 and
293
00:10:29,459 --> 00:10:31,260
that's just fantastic now you can use
294
00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:32,940
the absolute same technique to add drama
295
00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:34,860
to the eyes have a look at it at the top
296
00:10:34,860 --> 00:10:37,500
we have the catch light so right here we
297
00:10:37,500 --> 00:10:39,600
would have some reflected light right so
298
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,760
how do we add that first of all we add a
299
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,740
curves adjustment layer by clicking on
300
00:10:43,740 --> 00:10:44,940
the adjustment layer icon and then
301
00:10:44,940 --> 00:10:47,700
choosing curves right here simply take
302
00:10:47,700 --> 00:10:50,399
it up nothing complicated right here now
303
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:52,380
select the mask press controller command
304
00:10:52,380 --> 00:10:54,899
I this inverts The Mask take the brush
305
00:10:54,899 --> 00:10:57,540
take a soft round brush and just dab on
306
00:10:57,540 --> 00:11:00,480
the opposite side like this now
307
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,339
nothing's happening because the color is
308
00:11:02,339 --> 00:11:05,519
black dab with white like this now I
309
00:11:05,519 --> 00:11:07,500
love this shine let's increase it even
310
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,839
more now remove the extras first of all
311
00:11:09,839 --> 00:11:12,060
press X to toggle between the foreground
312
00:11:12,060 --> 00:11:13,920
and the background and remove the extras
313
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,320
from right here now this by itself is
314
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,420
looking great but we want to add some
315
00:11:18,420 --> 00:11:19,980
drama and we want to keep the brightness
316
00:11:19,980 --> 00:11:22,500
only to The Brighter areas so how do we
317
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:24,779
do that again blend if so double click
318
00:11:24,779 --> 00:11:26,700
on the right hand side of the layer and
319
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:28,740
take the slider of the underlying layer
320
00:11:28,740 --> 00:11:31,380
from left to right there you go that's
321
00:11:31,380 --> 00:11:33,180
nice now hold the ALT key the option key
322
00:11:33,180 --> 00:11:34,920
click on the slider to break it apart
323
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,420
and take it apart
324
00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:38,880
and do something like this now have a
325
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,800
look at the difference it creates it
326
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,959
makes it more subtle it keeps it more
327
00:11:42,959 --> 00:11:44,820
natural and at the same time it looks
328
00:11:44,820 --> 00:11:46,860
dramatic hit okay and have a look at the
329
00:11:46,860 --> 00:11:48,839
before and after so here's the before
330
00:11:48,839 --> 00:11:51,480
here's the after now you can copy to the
331
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,880
other eye nothing difficult so select
332
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,200
the mask right here
333
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:56,880
select the move tool from right here
334
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,399
hold the ALT key or the option key and
335
00:11:59,399 --> 00:12:01,620
just drag it and drop it right here
336
00:12:01,620 --> 00:12:03,899
nothing complicated let's take a look at
337
00:12:03,899 --> 00:12:05,459
the before and after so here is the
338
00:12:05,459 --> 00:12:08,700
before and here is the after night and
339
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:10,140
day difference now you can also use the
340
00:12:10,140 --> 00:12:12,060
same technique to Target a specific area
341
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:13,860
have a look at the highlights if you
342
00:12:13,860 --> 00:12:15,360
think that the highlights are too bright
343
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,100
and you want to bring more skin tone to
344
00:12:17,100 --> 00:12:18,540
it click on the adjustment layer icon
345
00:12:18,540 --> 00:12:20,339
and choose curves again and this time
346
00:12:20,339 --> 00:12:21,899
we're going to take it down so create a
347
00:12:21,899 --> 00:12:24,240
point in the middle and simply take it
348
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,940
down I don't know why it is lagging for
349
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:29,760
some reason anyway we want to limit this
350
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,740
Darkness to the bright areas so how do
351
00:12:31,740 --> 00:12:33,300
we do that double click on the right
352
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:34,860
hand side of the layer the other way to
353
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:36,720
phrase it is that we want to remove the
354
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,200
curves effect from the dark areas of the
355
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,240
underlying layer and keep it only in the
356
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,399
bright areas so to remove this effect
357
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:47,519
from the dark areas of the underlying
358
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:49,920
layer we will move the slider of the
359
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,440
underlying left from left to right keep
360
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,480
it only in the bright areas but this is
361
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,760
extremely harsh so hold the alt carry
362
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,380
the option key click on it to break it
363
00:12:58,380 --> 00:13:00,360
apart and I'm gonna just take it all the
364
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,399
way to the right hand side and control
365
00:13:02,399 --> 00:13:04,380
this part
366
00:13:04,380 --> 00:13:06,720
that's about right hit okay let's take a
367
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,339
look at the before and after so here's
368
00:13:08,339 --> 00:13:10,620
the before and here's the after that's
369
00:13:10,620 --> 00:13:12,839
pretty fantastic isn't it now you can go
370
00:13:12,839 --> 00:13:15,600
back right here and control the curve to
371
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,000
your liking so I want to keep it
372
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,940
probably this way and also it affects
373
00:13:20,940 --> 00:13:22,260
the entire image here's the before
374
00:13:22,260 --> 00:13:24,300
here's the after if you only wanted it
375
00:13:24,300 --> 00:13:25,860
on the skin you might want to select the
376
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:28,320
mask press Ctrl or command I take the
377
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,480
brush white as the foreground color and
378
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,519
just paint on areas where you wanted it
379
00:13:32,519 --> 00:13:34,560
that's all now sometimes these can be
380
00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:36,360
too harsh so you also might want to
381
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,160
decrease the opacity in this case we're
382
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,959
going to keep it 76 here's the before
383
00:13:39,959 --> 00:13:42,720
here's the after that's a nice rich skin
384
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,220
tone there are so many more applications
385
00:13:44,220 --> 00:13:45,779
and adjustments with blend if you can
386
00:13:45,779 --> 00:13:47,459
also add drama with it and you can check
387
00:13:47,459 --> 00:13:49,440
out this video in which we completely
388
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,380
added drama in 3d effect to kind of a
389
00:13:52,380 --> 00:13:53,940
flat photo you might want to watch it
390
00:13:53,940 --> 00:13:55,320
later because we have so many more
391
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:56,820
incredible things coming up starting
392
00:13:56,820 --> 00:13:59,519
with masking with blend if remember the
393
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:01,680
very first example where we removed the
394
00:14:01,680 --> 00:14:03,360
sky now it's going to become clearer to
395
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,399
you because now we are moving to
396
00:14:05,399 --> 00:14:07,620
different channels inside of plentif so
397
00:14:07,620 --> 00:14:09,120
first of all let's unlock the layer
398
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,980
double click on the right hand side of
399
00:14:10,980 --> 00:14:12,720
the layer again to open up the layer
400
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,420
style dialog box now up until now we
401
00:14:15,420 --> 00:14:17,040
were working with the Great channel
402
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,600
right here we also have the option to
403
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,279
work with the red green and blue
404
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:22,500
channels so in this case since blue is
405
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,180
the dominant color and we want to remove
406
00:14:24,180 --> 00:14:26,100
the Blues from the bright areas it's
407
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:28,079
much better to work with Blues because
408
00:14:28,079 --> 00:14:30,480
if we worked with the gray Channel and
409
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,000
we removed the bright areas have a look
410
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,820
bright areas from the tree also go away
411
00:14:35,820 --> 00:14:38,519
so to avoid that you want to only target
412
00:14:38,519 --> 00:14:40,800
the blues and then when you do it the
413
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,839
trees are fine for the most part now if
414
00:14:42,839 --> 00:14:44,760
you go extreme it will go away from
415
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,279
there as well but for the most part most
416
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:49,320
of the Blues from the back will just go
417
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,199
away and to make the sorry about the
418
00:14:52,199 --> 00:14:53,880
construction work happening in the
419
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,199
background I'm not sure if you can hear
420
00:14:55,199 --> 00:14:56,699
it and of course to make the transition
421
00:14:56,699 --> 00:14:58,860
smoother you would hold the ALT key or
422
00:14:58,860 --> 00:15:00,420
the option key click on the slider to
423
00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:02,639
break it apart and take it apart like
424
00:15:02,639 --> 00:15:04,320
this that's nice
425
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,899
hit OK so here's the sky I have let's
426
00:15:06,899 --> 00:15:09,959
drag it and drop it into photoshop on
427
00:15:09,959 --> 00:15:11,940
top of the canvas let's make it larger
428
00:15:11,940 --> 00:15:13,920
something like this hit enter or return
429
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,260
now we're gonna place it under this
430
00:15:16,260 --> 00:15:18,959
layer and we have this guy replaced now
431
00:15:18,959 --> 00:15:21,300
let's move it right about there or here
432
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,579
that's up to you now it's not matching
433
00:15:23,579 --> 00:15:25,260
well because the original sky was
434
00:15:25,260 --> 00:15:26,880
brighter so we just have to make it
435
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,620
slightly brighter so click on the
436
00:15:28,620 --> 00:15:29,940
adjustment layer icon and then choose
437
00:15:29,940 --> 00:15:31,860
curves everything is related to Curves
438
00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:33,240
and you can do a lot of things with
439
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,920
curves it's very important to learn
440
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,380
curves there's an entire video on how it
441
00:15:37,380 --> 00:15:39,420
works and you can Master curves using
442
00:15:39,420 --> 00:15:41,519
this one watch this after watching this
443
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:43,380
video we have already covered the basics
444
00:15:43,380 --> 00:15:45,420
of Curves I think in previous lessons a
445
00:15:45,420 --> 00:15:47,760
little bit now let's make it slightly
446
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,279
brighter like this and there you go this
447
00:15:50,279 --> 00:15:53,459
guy is very nicely replaced now can you
448
00:15:53,459 --> 00:15:55,260
turn whatever you created let's turn all
449
00:15:55,260 --> 00:15:56,820
of this off for a moment
450
00:15:56,820 --> 00:15:58,440
can you turn this into a selection
451
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,240
because right now it's not actually a
452
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,980
selection but some areas are just
453
00:16:01,980 --> 00:16:04,019
getting transparent the easiest way to
454
00:16:04,019 --> 00:16:05,760
do that for some reason if you wanted to
455
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,220
is right click on it and choose convert
456
00:16:08,220 --> 00:16:09,839
to Smart object and now you can hold the
457
00:16:09,839 --> 00:16:12,300
controller command click on it and now
458
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:14,880
that turns into a selection so if you
459
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,860
ever wanted that that is the way to do
460
00:16:16,860 --> 00:16:18,600
it now moving on to a final example
461
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,579
blendif is a great way to place any
462
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:23,519
object on any surface and it's fun so
463
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:25,740
let's say in this wall right here I want
464
00:16:25,740 --> 00:16:28,139
to place a logo or something exciting so
465
00:16:28,139 --> 00:16:29,820
I have this scary graphic right here
466
00:16:29,820 --> 00:16:32,220
which fits perfectly let's drag it and
467
00:16:32,220 --> 00:16:34,440
drop it right here this is transparent
468
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,779
so let's adjust it to our liking like
469
00:16:36,779 --> 00:16:39,000
this let's keep it at the center we want
470
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,519
to match it up to this line right here
471
00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:44,399
in the middle and maybe make it smaller
472
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:46,440
large larger that's up to you if you're
473
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,360
going to keep it this size maybe take it
474
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,459
up like this hit enter or return now we
475
00:16:50,459 --> 00:16:52,259
have to think about it in terms of paint
476
00:16:52,259 --> 00:16:54,600
and lighting so the dark paint in here
477
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,759
is going to darken the wall and the
478
00:16:56,759 --> 00:16:58,680
brighter paint in here is going to
479
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,899
brighten the wall so first of all let's
480
00:17:00,899 --> 00:17:03,060
talk about darkening the wall but before
481
00:17:03,060 --> 00:17:04,740
we do anything just make two copies
482
00:17:04,740 --> 00:17:06,839
because we are brightening and darkening
483
00:17:06,839 --> 00:17:09,000
so here's the graphic press Ctrl or
484
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,160
command J to make a duplicate turn off
485
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,559
the first one this is for darkening so
486
00:17:13,559 --> 00:17:15,059
for darkening what is the blend mode
487
00:17:15,059 --> 00:17:17,760
let's not forget multiply change the
488
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,220
blend mode from normal to multiply but
489
00:17:20,220 --> 00:17:22,140
we only want the dark paints to darken
490
00:17:22,140 --> 00:17:23,880
the wall and also it will be gone from
491
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,679
the bright areas a little bit so first
492
00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:27,419
of all let's change the blend mode name
493
00:17:27,419 --> 00:17:29,340
to multiply so that we can keep track of
494
00:17:29,340 --> 00:17:31,200
things and double click on the right
495
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,940
hand side of the layer now first of all
496
00:17:32,940 --> 00:17:35,760
what did we decide we only want the
497
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,580
darker paints to darken the wall so
498
00:17:38,580 --> 00:17:41,100
let's remove the brighter paints from
499
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:43,740
the current layer right so let's work
500
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:45,600
with the sliders of the current layer to
501
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,240
remove the brighter paints like this now
502
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:49,980
this is going to be harsh so hold the
503
00:17:49,980 --> 00:17:51,419
alt clear the option key click on it to
504
00:17:51,419 --> 00:17:53,160
break it apart and something like this
505
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,780
is fine
506
00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:56,820
now you can play with this later that's
507
00:17:56,820 --> 00:17:58,500
fine too now we have to remove the paint
508
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:01,380
from the bright areas of the wall which
509
00:18:01,380 --> 00:18:03,600
is an underlying layer to add that shine
510
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,059
off the wall so take the slider of the
511
00:18:06,059 --> 00:18:08,220
underlying left from right to left like
512
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:09,419
this
513
00:18:09,419 --> 00:18:11,760
again of course this is Harsh so hold
514
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,320
the all security option key click on it
515
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,299
to break it apart and take it apart like
516
00:18:15,299 --> 00:18:18,360
this that looks absolutely realistic so
517
00:18:18,360 --> 00:18:20,520
we can leave it at that or go all in
518
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,640
like this hit okay now let's turn this
519
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,919
one on this is for brightening so what
520
00:18:25,919 --> 00:18:27,360
is the blend mode which brightens the
521
00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:29,700
screen so change the blend mode from
522
00:18:29,700 --> 00:18:32,100
normal to screen double click on the
523
00:18:32,100 --> 00:18:34,620
right hand side of clear for this one we
524
00:18:34,620 --> 00:18:37,140
only want the bright paints to brighten
525
00:18:37,140 --> 00:18:39,720
stuff so let's take away the dark paints
526
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,760
from the current layer so take the slide
527
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,260
of the current layer from left to right
528
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:44,400
like this
529
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,260
hold the alt carry option key click on
530
00:18:46,260 --> 00:18:48,299
the slider to break it apart take it all
531
00:18:48,299 --> 00:18:50,760
apart like this that's nice
532
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,340
now we want to take this away from the
533
00:18:53,340 --> 00:18:55,799
dark areas to have those Shadows of the
534
00:18:55,799 --> 00:18:57,539
texture of the wall take the slider off
535
00:18:57,539 --> 00:18:58,980
the underlying left from left to right
536
00:18:58,980 --> 00:19:00,960
like this this is looking very
537
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,240
interesting now hold the ALT key option
538
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,679
key click on it to break it apart and
539
00:19:04,679 --> 00:19:07,020
take it apart like this
540
00:19:07,020 --> 00:19:10,679
okay now that is something
541
00:19:10,679 --> 00:19:12,960
damn that looks realistic now again the
542
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,299
paint won't be so perfect and so sharp
543
00:19:15,299 --> 00:19:16,860
right so if you have to blur it a little
544
00:19:16,860 --> 00:19:18,960
bit so select the first one by the way
545
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,299
this is screen right let's name the
546
00:19:21,299 --> 00:19:22,140
layers
547
00:19:22,140 --> 00:19:24,000
double click on the text to name it
548
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,100
let's go to filter blur and then
549
00:19:26,100 --> 00:19:28,080
gaussian blur
550
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,720
two pixels is fine hit OK you can
551
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,220
actually copy the same layer right here
552
00:19:32,220 --> 00:19:34,200
hold the ALT key option key click and
553
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,179
drag the smart filter and drop it right
554
00:19:36,179 --> 00:19:38,460
here as well both of them have blur in
555
00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:40,919
them now that's looking nicer realistic
556
00:19:40,919 --> 00:19:42,660
but do you think it's too much blur
557
00:19:42,660 --> 00:19:45,539
let's open up the gaussian blur double
558
00:19:45,539 --> 00:19:48,299
click on it and keep it probably 1.2
559
00:19:48,299 --> 00:19:51,900
this one as well 1.2 that's nice okay
560
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:53,820
now there's one more thing missing the
561
00:19:53,820 --> 00:19:55,740
paint wouldn't be so perfect right some
562
00:19:55,740 --> 00:19:57,720
areas would come off some areas would be
563
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,179
scratched so how do we bring that first
564
00:20:00,179 --> 00:20:01,740
of all let's put both of them in a group
565
00:20:01,740 --> 00:20:03,179
so select the first one hold the
566
00:20:03,179 --> 00:20:04,740
controller command select the second one
567
00:20:04,740 --> 00:20:07,080
press Ctrl or command G now we have to
568
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,419
introduce a grunge mask so this is an
569
00:20:09,419 --> 00:20:10,860
image I have with a lot of scratches
570
00:20:10,860 --> 00:20:12,840
let's open that have a look at it we can
571
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,880
absolutely use this to hide different
572
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,419
areas so let's just drag it and drop it
573
00:20:18,419 --> 00:20:21,120
into photoshop on a new document for now
574
00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:23,940
let's continue that's fine controller
575
00:20:23,940 --> 00:20:26,700
command a to select all Ctrl or command
576
00:20:26,700 --> 00:20:29,280
C let's come back to this this now let's
577
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,200
create a mask by clicking on the mask
578
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
button let's open up the mask by holding
579
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,160
the ALT key of the option key click on
580
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,620
the mask and then paste it inside of the
581
00:20:37,620 --> 00:20:39,600
Mask remember using an image as a mask
582
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,360
we covered it in the layer mask lesson I
583
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:43,980
recommend watching that lesson later if
584
00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:46,679
you haven't press Ctrl or command V hold
585
00:20:46,679 --> 00:20:48,539
the ALT key the option key click on the
586
00:20:48,539 --> 00:20:50,940
layer now most of it is gone why is it
587
00:20:50,940 --> 00:20:53,039
gone because we want the opposite of it
588
00:20:53,039 --> 00:20:56,280
we want in this mask the black areas to
589
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,140
show up and the white areas to hide but
590
00:20:58,140 --> 00:20:59,580
that doesn't happen so how do we deal
591
00:20:59,580 --> 00:21:02,100
with that we invert the mask select the
592
00:21:02,100 --> 00:21:04,440
mask press Ctrl or command I there you
593
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,299
go now the scratches and everything are
594
00:21:06,299 --> 00:21:08,280
black hold the ALT key the option key
595
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,100
click on the mask again now you have all
596
00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:12,780
of these scratches so here's the before
597
00:21:12,780 --> 00:21:15,539
here's the after but it's also not very
598
00:21:15,539 --> 00:21:17,940
evident so first of all press Ctrl or
599
00:21:17,940 --> 00:21:20,160
command D to deselect now we want to
600
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,320
transform this crunch texture which is
601
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,480
inside the mask if you press Ctrl or
602
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,020
command D and try to readjust anything
603
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:30,539
the contents will get adjusted too we
604
00:21:30,539 --> 00:21:32,340
don't want that we want to adjust the
605
00:21:32,340 --> 00:21:34,860
mask separately so how do we do that we
606
00:21:34,860 --> 00:21:36,900
click on the link right here remove the
607
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:39,360
link and then with the mask selected we
608
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:42,059
press Ctrl or command T and then we
609
00:21:42,059 --> 00:21:43,620
bring it right here possibly that's
610
00:21:43,620 --> 00:21:45,960
looking nicer you can actually also
611
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,280
resize it
612
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,280
let this area be gone
613
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,620
do something like that that's also nice
614
00:21:52,620 --> 00:21:55,440
hit enter or return now the intensity of
615
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,480
this mask is not too much so how do we
616
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,340
increase the intensity so select the
617
00:21:59,340 --> 00:22:02,340
mask press Ctrl or command M to bring up
618
00:22:02,340 --> 00:22:06,539
the curves adjustment and adjust it
619
00:22:06,539 --> 00:22:08,400
there you go it's becoming more and more
620
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,440
intense we are just making the dark
621
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,260
areas darker there we go we can even
622
00:22:13,260 --> 00:22:16,620
adjust it further like this
623
00:22:16,620 --> 00:22:19,620
see the intensity there I like it hit
624
00:22:19,620 --> 00:22:22,500
okay now look at it so without it it's
625
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,539
all well and nice it's looking fake but
626
00:22:24,539 --> 00:22:26,580
with it you see all the grunts right
627
00:22:26,580 --> 00:22:28,440
there that's fantastic now to make it
628
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,940
even more dramatic you can take it
629
00:22:29,940 --> 00:22:32,640
further by color grading so click on the
630
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,380
adjustment layer icon and then choose
631
00:22:34,380 --> 00:22:36,059
color lookup that's one of the easiest
632
00:22:36,059 --> 00:22:37,980
ways to do it choose something like
633
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:41,159
probably crisp warm and there you go
634
00:22:41,159 --> 00:22:44,039
that is just straight dangerous right
635
00:22:44,039 --> 00:22:46,140
here now this is too much so we're going
636
00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:47,820
to decrease the opacity to about 60
637
00:22:47,820 --> 00:22:49,860
percent I believe we can add more drama
638
00:22:49,860 --> 00:22:51,900
to it and one of the ways you can do it
639
00:22:51,900 --> 00:22:54,480
is just under the color lookup let's
640
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,159
create one more curves adjustment layer
641
00:22:56,159 --> 00:22:59,340
let's brighten it like this that looks
642
00:22:59,340 --> 00:23:02,100
nice now select the mask and with the
643
00:23:02,100 --> 00:23:03,840
gradient tool right here by the way you
644
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:05,400
can choose the new gradients at the top
645
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,440
choose a gradient from white to black
646
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,840
choose a radial gradient and you can
647
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:11,700
create a gradient like this
648
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:14,039
that's interesting now you can control
649
00:23:14,039 --> 00:23:16,860
the curve make it brighter or darker now
650
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:19,740
that looks very very nice now I believe
651
00:23:19,740 --> 00:23:21,600
that the color lookup is darkening these
652
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,880
areas way too much so let's create one
653
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,620
more curves adjustment layer and just
654
00:23:25,620 --> 00:23:27,600
add a faded effect take the left point
655
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,840
up like this and create a point right
656
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:32,640
here and take it down as well and for
657
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,380
additional contrast you can take this
658
00:23:34,380 --> 00:23:37,919
point up as well so curves is a very fun
659
00:23:37,919 --> 00:23:40,140
thing to experiment with on top of it
660
00:23:40,140 --> 00:23:41,700
you can add textures by the way if you
661
00:23:41,700 --> 00:23:43,500
haven't yet check out do consider
662
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:44,820
checking out the piximper effect
663
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:47,640
compositing plugin it's a plugin where
664
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,679
all of the steps of creating a composite
665
00:23:49,679 --> 00:23:51,659
is listed and every function is a
666
00:23:51,659 --> 00:23:53,340
shortcut for example you want to match
667
00:23:53,340 --> 00:23:55,080
colors of a subject to a new background
668
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,419
just with two clicks here's a demo you
669
00:23:57,419 --> 00:23:58,860
can easily match the colors
670
00:23:58,860 --> 00:24:00,720
automatically inside of the plugin in
671
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,000
the structures section you'll also find
672
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,740
some overlays and textures so let's
673
00:24:04,740 --> 00:24:06,900
apply this one and there you go I love
674
00:24:06,900 --> 00:24:08,520
this texture right here and the best
675
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,020
part is first of all let's click on this
676
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:11,400
button to apply it
677
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,500
this is seamless so you can double click
678
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:15,419
on the thumbnail of the adjustment layer
679
00:24:15,419 --> 00:24:18,240
you can move it around and you can scale
680
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,980
it if you like you can make it smaller
681
00:24:19,980 --> 00:24:21,480
or larger that's up to you I'm going to
682
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,700
keep it smaller 45 sorry about the
683
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,320
construction work in the background and
684
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,120
there you have your dangerous tunnel
685
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:28,919
where you don't want to be so that's all
686
00:24:28,919 --> 00:24:30,840
about blendif it simply controls which
687
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,419
areas show up and which areas hide based
688
00:24:33,419 --> 00:24:35,039
on brightness levels I hope this video
689
00:24:35,039 --> 00:24:36,720
helped you and if it did make sure to

[Music]
699
00:24:51,860 --> 00:24:57,070
and somehow we get it right every time
700
00:24:57,070 --> 00:24:58,820
[Music]
701
00:24:58,820 --> 00:25:03,080
and I like it like that
