Forget the hundreds Dollar of seminar, you are so great !

[@dmm092158]

The tunnel graphic section was great. A very comprehensive use of blend-if with many real-world uses.

[@PF2K7]

You are, by far, the best source of learning Photoshop on KZbin and have helped me so much in my career. Thank you so much, and keep it up!

[@wuyangfeng]

The AI tools I have here are more powerful than yours! and free

[@4cvikash]

I have done Blend-if class of a paid content creator but this man is from different planet.The concept of blend-if is clear now.The example of wall with graphics is simply fantastic.Thank you so much Mr. Unmesh cheering clap for you.

[@VisionbyNoble]

This is extremely pertinent information if you're looking to be a photoshop professional. This entire series, free, is worth more than literally every course I have taken, and I've been to Udemy, Linkedin Learning, other KZbin channels. Nah, this the one.

[@LimitlessLivingOver60]

I’ve been using BlendIf for years, but never realized the full potential of it until watching this video! Wow! Thank you!

[@LJ-qc4om]

You talk fast and yet I understand your lesson. Thank God your lessons are free here on youtube

[@Dartheomus]

There is no one who compares to your teaching style. I've learned more about editing from you in the past year than I have in the last 20 years of screwing around with photoshop. Absolutely amazing work!

[@goshakmal81]

20 years such a lie

[@Dartheomus]

@@goshakmal81 Shit you got me. I started in 1996, so technically that's 27 years. Fuck, I'm old.

[@sophiaelizabethdelvalle]

​@@DartheomusI can imagine how bad you feel. I've been trying to look for good instructors on subjects I want to learn. But there's just so little of them.

[@barrylee6256]

I've never seen the blend if option explained so simply yet amusing, keeping me engrossed. This is another of your great talents. Cheers

[@pmkansara]

I am not a pro. I am just a hobby photographer, taking and editing pictures only for fun. I learned some basic Lightroom techniques and was mostly using them. Before I watched any of your videos, I only knew how to open a Photoshop and use it like MS Paint.😄 I was so intimidated by Photoshop, I never thought that I would ever use it. When I started watching your videos, I got inspired to purchase Photoshop and I slowly got better at it. And after watching this Photoshop for Beginners series, I got so good at it that when I edited some photos of my friends using your techniques, their minds were blown! I am still way far from being an expert, but your way of teaching gave me confidence to keep learning it. When somebody asks me how I learn Photoshop, I recommend them your channel.

[@MatheusCamargo-l5z]

ive been using photoshop for 11 years and im still learning a lot , always something to learn from this guy even on his "begginer" lessons

[@hieuvu9787]

hmm, how? 11 years and still learn like begginner? this is impossible

[@MatheusCamargo-l5z]

@@hieuvu9787 Photoshop is always evolving, so there is always something you might be missing out, or a different way ( and sometimes better way) to reach the result you want

[@sophiaelizabethdelvalle]

​@@hieuvu9787He continues to learn even after using Photoshop for 11 years. These begginer videos have taught him a lot and has added more tricks that he can use in his work as a photoshop expert. Education is continuous. I hope this helps.

[@brucesorrell3647]

I've avoided "Blend if" like the plague until this morning. Many thanks, my friend, for making the incomprehensible understandable !

[@NatureRoamingSoul]

I literally said out loud, "are you kidding me!", within 10 seconds of this video.... this looks so much easier than dealing with channels to remove backgrounds with trees...

[@edwardanderson3506]

I refer to these videos often. I love how you hold our hand while coaching us to ask questions. Concepts! Concepts! 😀

[@kikon78]

You are by far one of the greatest educators of the platform (I didn´t just say phostoshop because your pedagogy is amazing against any field of teaching)

[@cactsai]

I've watched dozens of your videos from start to finish, possibly close to 100 of them and I've learned SO MUCH from you. I was trying to describe your channel and video style to my wife and the best way I thought of to explain your teaching style and approach was to say "he's the Reading Rainbow of Photoshop." lol I know that's silly, but you make it so easy to understand, and your approach is very pleasant, so it makes learning these concepts easy and fun, hence "Reading Rainbow" (for us Gen X kids, people younger than me, like yourself, may not get the reference).

[@AG_before]

It's ridiculous how simple you make things that are otherwise daunting. Thank you for _every_ video. 💯

[@eleanornelson5810]

I just love that there is always something new to learn in Photoshop!

[@hashb.l.o]

The best teacher of photoshop.

[@IKSRTFO]

You are definitely the best instructor hands down!!! Thank you my friend! God bless you!!

[@Dezzasheep]

Blend if is one of the best tools in PS. Its transformed my retouching over the last few years.

[@johanssonstudio]

I really learn a lot from your Photoshop videos! They are easy to understand and follow. I also enjoy that there is not an over abundance of talking about unnecessary things like how your computer was made or the code for writing the Photoshop software, unnecessary rabbit trails that have nothing to do with the lessons. Thank you!

[@Itz_Jack57]

20 years I've been using PS daily and now I finally understand the 'Underlying Layer' part of BlendIf 🤦 Unmesh nails it yet again!

[@murthara]

I can’t begin to thank you enough for all you’ve taught me over the years!!

[@matlynwood6225]

OMG thank you so much. I just learned more about blend-if in this short video than I have tried to understand in the last 3 years since I found a way to use both photoshop and Lightroom and not have to hide from photoshop.

[@VodaVoda-n8j]

you're amazing! one of best teachers ever! adore your videos, explanations!

[@alo.hamaaa3504]

Every Photoshop tutorial of yours always amazes and motivates me to learn more! Thanks a lot!

[@sangio_davese]

A wonderful technique for fine-tuning hair highlights and changing highlight color and saturation around the 5:45 to 8:00min mark. Very good that all your walk-throughs are non-destructive.

[@moneyheist-y6b]

He has just a next level mindset ❤❤❤❤

[@maheralatem]

Place graphic on any surface alone was amazing, and I've learned a lot, thank you Mr. Unmesh Dinda

[@sinahosseini4466]

I watch your videos one by one and it's hard to say which one is better because they are all great. Thank you very much.

[@DonovanBrown]

You have quickly become my favorite instructor. This is incredible content. Thank you.

[@ankiesk3475]

I used to think I knew photoshop very well until I ran into the 'blend if' options which had me lose all my confidence because I could not make head or tail of it. Thanks Unmesh for making it as clear as daylight...Great video...

[@dhananjaysenbhoi170]

Bro you are the IRON-MAN on this field . 100 100 100 times good luck and Thank to you.

[@lonecody]

Brilliant, this is the best blend if tutorial video I have seen!

[@madisn]

This is your BEST video ever. I have been struggling with blend if for years. I have been a very long time subscriber and the way you explained the 'how' behind 'how blend if works' in this video is different (better for me) than a lot of your other amazing tutorials. The science behind the workings just made things click with me. Thank you!

[@wahidalhasan9254]

You are really the best photoshop expert. The things you share are very effective and helpful.

[@themoodyeditz691]

You are bro legend bro in terms of explaining the complex topic love you bro ❤

[@keithvdw3381]

Here is an outline of the final graphic-applied-to-wall portion (what a great demo!) 1. Establish the graphic as a smart object; duplicate 2. Assign these Layer Styles to these two layers of graphic over the wall: a. Top layer - Screen blend mode (apply bright areas of the graphic to wall) i. Use Blend If to: 1) exclude dark regions in graphic 2) push dark regions of wall through* b. Bottom layer - Multiply blend mode (apply dark areas of the graphic to wall) i. Use Blend If to: 1) exclude light regions in graphic 2) push light regions of wall through* 3. Blur the graphic (use smart filter; Gaussian, 1 px) 4. Apply texture mask to graphic a. Group two graphic layers together b. Add mask c. Copy grunge texture into mask; invert; unlink mask; resize 5. Color grade whole image using existing preset (just in newer photoshop) a. Adjustment Layers > Color Look-up >Crisp Warm Look 6. Apply curves adjustment layer for brightening purposes, mask this to disappear, and paint on this effect to cause highlight on graphic 7. Apply curves adjustment layer to whole composition to increase contrast Applies PixImperfect Plug-In Compositing Texture

Wow! I learned soooooo much watching this video. Thank you so very much. 😊

[@Farhanumer-in4lb]

I always enjoy to learn from Piximperfect

[@Dogdrule]

I would love if adobe could incorporate a way to more precisely define the color range for blend if, instead of a grey/red/blue/green drop-down, if there could be a slider like in the hue/saturation adjustment panel where can define exactly how wide the color range you want to affect is.

[@rivetes]

Absolutely awesome tutorials, thank you so much for doing these!

Waiting is over Lesson 8 is here... Now Waiting for lesson 9

[@BigAl444]

You know, I've used Photoshop since v1.0. Grayscale only and no layers. ha. I had never learned about the Blend-If tools. I will admit I am more of a power user and would learn enough to get me started and then start running. For the younger crowd, I would recommend learning as many of these tools up front, then you will be the new master.

[@shkarhamid5717]

thank you so much it is very useful.....please upload more videos in this course
