That bokeh one was a crazy good tip. normally I find overlays but good to know we can do that directly in photoshop.

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks so much and yeah Red has some killer tips!!

[@penelopereeves8816]

Fantastic, really helpful, particularly liked how you made the tail light reflection, it’s that sort of attention to detail that makes things feel ‘real’ 🙂

[@PhotoManipulation]

Great feedback and totally agree on you observation!!

[@andydreadsbmx]

The filter "Fibers" and also merging the whole image into a new layer were the most useful!

[@PhotoManipulation]

So glad you are enjoying the content and thanks so much for the comment!!!

[@coelho2825]

I always thought that Depth Maps could only be created in 3D software! Thanks for showing!! Awsome video. Congrats!

[@PhotoManipulation]

So glad you learned something, that's what we love to hear!!

[@sonnycrockett5500]

Fantastic tips right here, this kind of thing is literally not taught anywhere else, though I don't know if for convenience or ignorance. Always wondered how they made the reflections and didn't even think of such obvious thing for the depth map. Thanks so much for the video!

[@noumanphotography]

Nice work brother well ❤❤❤

[@Ayxo404]

if you're bringing layers to the top often there's a shortcut for that as well. Default is Shift+ctrl+] or Layer menu > Arrange > Bring to front

[@pruthakpruthibi7150]

Thanks a lot bro. Great help.

[@PhotoManipulation]

Great tip, cheers!!

[@luiz.sommer]

Thanks bro! Dope tip

[@RahhmiPoofs]

About your Depth map... you should add the gradient when you do the ground. then when you re-shade the plane or the car you match it to wherever it is on the gradient, that makes it more accurate. I've actually ignored field blur, that's better than my current bokeh technique! Thanks!

[@youngk1ngz]

Can you help me make a picture likes his pls im noot good at photoshop

[@RahhmiPoofs]

uhhh find a way to message me. unless you mean the original poster?

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks so much for the angle on that, and of course for watching!!!

[@mohammadmehdiemamhdi1192]

nice👌🤟

[@PhotoManipulation]

Much appreciated!!

[@BobsWoodStuff]

This is a good tutorial. It would be helpful if you made the Color and Properties panels smaller, so we can see more of the Layers.

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thank you! Thats a good observation, perhaps we can look into that in future videos! Much appreciated!!

[@STdemoniac]

Nice one! Did you have a tutorial how to create realistic shadows for car composite photos? And how to make a car reflections when car in difficult angle ? Thanks

[@REDOUANENAOURI]

Thank you, I will add this to my tutorials list

[@PhotoManipulation]

Another for the list!!! Cheers!

How in the world did you learn all of these photoshop tricks? Thank You!!

[@PhotoManipulation]

Practice, patience and persistance are all key!! Cheers for the comment!!

[@MercaBeats]

you should skip the step with the light bokeh and leave the dots, they are gonna look good if you just do lens blur on the whole image you can fine tweak the light threshhold

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks for your insight, we appreciate it!!

[@hmseven7085]

Sir, I lost me details in pics whenever I try to manipulate & work with many layers. What's the best process to get professional edit

[@PhotoManipulation]

Hey, are you using high quality stock? If so maybe convert each elemnt you use to a smart object!! Try this for more info: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5aWcqxod8dpjMk

[@REDOUANENAOURI]

Yes, It is inspired by Asabin Art

Great job, Red!!

Thanks for telling me, you're a lifesaver

[@PhotoManipulation]

Great tip, MAW!! Cheers!!

[@CAPTUREVLOGS]

Bro where is stock linke

[@PhotoManipulation]

I'll ask Red to add it!!

[@Safiboytv]

For phone or?

[@PhotoManipulation]

I believe Photoshop!!! hope this helps!!

[@NewAgeStudio]

Your accent look familiar to me,, are you from Algeria?

[@REDOUANENAOURI]

Yes I'm Algerian

[@PhotoManipulation]

You have a great ear!!

[@ImSkittzle]

This could be the cover of Mafia

[@AtiusD]

This would have been better if you did it from the ground up so you're not wrestling with all the layers from the finished artwork and to make it easier for those that are starting from the bottom up. Either way it was still very helpful.

[@user-dh8ti5wd6w]

No matter how many times I watch this I don't understand that how just cutting car light area and copying it brighten that area. I'm really hardcore beginner but I want to learn that badly so please somebody help me!🙏

[@AFTABTHESMART]

Photoshop version

[@PhotoManipulation]

The latest one!!! thanks for watching!!!

[@amarts362]

Artist KZbin channel name ?

[@PhotoManipulation]

PM.com!!! ahah Red is one of us!!!

[@tammambettayeb9886]

Are you algerian?

[@PhotoManipulation]

He certainly is!!!

[@armado9721]

Not a single word! about the fact that this work was inspired by the work of Asabin Art, like wtf ! XD 80% concept of composition repeats the work of Asabin, either the blind will not notice or the stupid ...

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks for your comment, Red has since stated that he took inspiration from Max!!

[@jeffro.]

Uh, I only got as far as where you created the tail light glow and reflection. That was great, it looked so real! But it might be more helpful, at least to me, if you were to describe what you're going to do before you do it. I got lost in all the "Control A and Alt C and... because you were talking fast, and with your accent and mispronunciations, I just couldn't understand you and follow what you were doing! And, to BTW, that first image you used for the ground, that looked like melting snow, you called it "clouds" but it didn't look like any clouds I've seen, lol! It was more like bacteria seen with a microscope. After you fiddled with it, it looked more like clouds, but the starting image... wasn't. But, overall, thanks for sharing your talents & creative ideas!

[@REDOUANENAOURI]

It's called " clouds " in photoshop menu I did not came up with the name.

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks for the in depth feedback!! Perhaps try watching the video at a slower pace using a media player of choice. Red does try his hardest in terms of his vocal presentation and is doing a wonderful job as English is not his native language!! The clouds thing is confusing for sure, perhaps contact Adobe and see what thier take on it is??!! Overall, thanks again for you views we really do appreciate you taking the time!!

[@prasadtegz]

I hear only 'Just like that' clearly 😐

[@PhotoManipulation]

Can you elaborate???

[@TeomanasAbramovas]

Video is great. But you say too much "gonna". It made me feel weird. (I'm not native English speaker.)

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks for the feedback!!

[@Emsyaz]

But the man doesnt look like he blended well in the photo. Think his skin is a little too bright for the whole image.

[@PhotoManipulation]

I guess art is subjective in terms of the kind of effect you like on your works!!

[@bilalgorgun9892]

Hhbh

[@PhotoManipulation]

Care to clarify?

[@user-xk7ph5mu3k]

wow he hacked adobe's photoshop.. do not share that crack version

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks for the comment, but all our artists used fully licensed copies of the software.

[@anis8774]

Great work really amazing BUTTTT… it’s just my opinion. Make a script befor you make a video. Just to get an idea what you want to show or what you have to tell. It’s not that good to say every sec. Ehhh ehm ehh ehm. That just let you look unprofessional, but you are not. Just keep your work going.

[@PhotoManipulation]

Thanks for the tip!!!

[@CHITUS]

Fabulous tips and tricks. I'm going to be going over this video quite a few times to practice. Thank you very much-this was an exceptionally useful tutorial.
