Very good tutorial. I had a wetplate image of myself done a few months ago and I'm still amazed at the process. I would recommend anyone to support the artists who do them. This is a great alternative to play around with.

[@AliasEduOnline]

Thank you for all the comments. Check out my webpage www.anttikarppinen.com .. and message me if you see something interesting that I might turn into a tutorial! This is only a start! :D _Antti

[@RahimMastafaPhotography]

Thanks for choosing me to be in ep 1! I wish I moisturised...:-)

[@thinriches]

Gotta start with a dry plate to make the wet plate, Rahim.

[@jjhelp]

Great work!!!! Don't apologize for your terrific art.

[@steve4710]

Very well done, Antti. I've experimented with the look. But they're nothing like yours. I'm excited to employ your technique. Looking forward to more tutorials. (Your English is impeccable.)

[@AliasEduOnline]

+Steve Lease Thank you for comment. Just experiment different images and you will find the balance and your own style for these!

[@icehousedesign7979]

[@tomifobia]

Thank you -- I've been looking for something like this -- appreciate what you are doing.

[@retouchingacademy]

Wonderful tutorial Alias Academy!!!

[@AliasEduOnline]

+Retouching Academy Thank You RA!

[@c.edwardbrice3470]

Great work and thanks for sharing.

[@AliasEduOnline]

For this tutorial, most textures are from textures.com site ..

[@olivierbolton8683]

Of course one has to see how and what this is printed on...to match the uniqueness of this process!

[@GigglingDickhead]

The closest attempt I've seen so far that mimics wet plate. Couple of things: The motion blur has GOT to go. Tell me, if the subject has moved as part of a long exposure, how is it possible that one part of the head stays sharp, while the rest is blurred? The original depth of field looked better untouched. And as for adding film grain...wet plate is a virtually grainless process. Leave it out.

[@AliasEduOnline]

+GigglingDickhead Thank you for comments!

[@tmeekins42]

+Alias Academy A tilt-shift lens would be great for this effect.

[@thehankypankybar8925]

+Tim Meekins Tha'ts true and it is is onboard with PS 2015..:-)

[@Studio2770]

Late to this but I'd probably suggest a gaussian blur instead of motion.

[@Blacktiecinema]

Your english is fine... keep up the good work!

[@ldmortarion]

I just need to try it now !

[@khaleelahmed95]

Hi Alias thanks buddy for sharing wonderful idea it has helped a lot

[@SasuRiikonen]

Great tutorial!

[@davidd2432]

Very nice! Where did you find the metal leaking and rust layers that you overlayed on your photo? Did you create them from scratch?

[@elliegraham2010]

I appreciate your affirming the original process and at the same time sharing a technique in photoshop. Where can we find similar textures? So many I have tried are cheesy so I usually make my own. I would love to see the same image of your friend with no motion and grain to compare what looks more authentic. I have a split tone preset I created in lightroom that I am going to try with one. Excited and inspired. Thanks for sharing. And yes, your English is fine. Better than plenty stateside. Ha

[@vi2e]

just tried it - i like it - nice tutorial

[@gritstone]

Thanks - great video and really interesting looking technique. I'm going to try it on landscapes and see how I compare to the large landscape wet plate images by Ian Ruhter.

[@AliasEduOnline]

+Paul Griffiths Let me know how it works :D

[@CWAG2]

Great tutorial. Thank you! :)

[@lh5236]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@gilgillis2445]

excellent! Thanks!

[@StingrayOfficial]

Thanks! You might want to turn on your safe search next time you use google images in a video, might get in trouble with youtube.

[@bitspacemusic]

These always fail because of the long DOF. The blue sensitivity and color might be correct, but the feel is always wrong. You'd need a lens with tilt capability to get some of the correct focus. They're too clean.

This was great!

[@annmarietornabene]

thank you very much for this! And your English is very good. ;)

[@pedroguedesthebino]

Support from portugal.

[@AliasEduOnline]

+Pedro Guedes Love Portugal! :D Say hi to my friends Joao Carlos, Andre Boto and Nuno Figueredo :D

[@gunnarw2162]

Thx for sharing! Bonus to humorous intro

[@pannawatm]

thank you very much

[@roqartstudio]

Impressed

[@rcordiner]

Thanks. Maybe you could explain your blending options and opacity settings in future.

[@AliasEduOnline]

+Content Aware Phil Yep, definitely!

[@caitlinlawrence3449]

For each layer, did you make a copy of the original image to make each adjustment on?

[@gilberthoste4315]

Superb.Thank You.

[@AliasEduOnline]

+GILBERT HOSTE Thank you for watching!

[@sbfotome]

A+

[@PenelopeRose238]

Thank you so much!

[@EDDIEGARAGE]

5.10" of introduction, I got an aunty in Italy and I live in Australia, my dog got sick a couple month ago and gone we are in late spring with 25 degrees only and my next neighbor went tp the dentist on a Sunday

[@AliasEduOnline]

But I try to use as much my own images as possible

[@ash3rr]

How do you mask out the centre like this?

[@AliasEduOnline]

+ash3rr just create a layer mask on that blurred layer and paint the unwanted areas away with soft brush

[@Fluroenduro]

Subscribed ;)

[@hopeaajavaloa]

Well, Antti, you are welcome to try Wetplate collodion for real, if you want ;)

[@quapex35tr]

Emm, emm and emm (?)

[@boxkam]

This is 100 times more work than just making a Real Wet Plate..... and it still doesn't work.... Just saying

[@richardrsilverman1801]

Would be great to make a preset.

[@jeffmyer5263]

This is not art my friend! A person can push buttons and get the same exact image. Yes it bothers me because you are teaching people to be basically lazy!

[@francismartinez2529]

This is definitely art.
