Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed this video! More than 85% of my viewers aren't subscribed, so if you like my videos, please SUBSCRIBE to my channel. It would really help out! Thank you very much! ~ Marty 💙

I really enjoyed your videos.i learned a lot of thingsss.thank you so much🙂🙂🤩

[@davidjustiss8769]

Hi Marty, David Justiss here... Years, ago maybe close to a decade, I told you how much what you do and teach had helped me. I forget, did you use to work for CBS - NBC >>> in their graphics department ? You told me once way back, but I have forgotten. Even back then I encouraged you to offer a pay option. I have some suggestions that might help tremendously as you have helped me. Can I reach out to you via your contact email? Thanks . . . You never cease to amaze me with your level of professionalism ...

[@mikelitwin]

Marty, you really knock it out of the park when it comes to keeping things to-the-point and understandable. I've been using Photoshop for over 26 years, but with the new enhancements and developments Adobe has added in recent years, I could still get totally lost on a process like this without someone like you calmly keeping things so direct and simple. Thanks!

Dear Marty, i can't tell you how a wonderful person you are. I'm very grateful for your valuable videos. I would very much appreciate it if you could make a video on family generations composite (dramatic face profiles) as the very few videos published are not good enough. Thank you so much.

Awesome! Thanks, Marty!

[@MalyClassProductions]

I did everything exactly in the order you said, and exactly how you said to do it, but I can't add Brightness/Contrast to my pic. Why not?...I am using CS6. 6:38

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Another way to add brightness and contrast is to click the Adjustment Layer icon and click "Brightness/Contrast".

[@baharebdull_]

Thanks master

[@tonymaher1056]

Great as always Marty (hope you're on the mend). Only issue I have is I am using CS4 and that version doesn't have the oil paint filter?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Correct. The Oil Paint filter was introduced in CS6.

[@bipbop7905]

Amazing tutorial - thanks so much! I would be grateful for a clue about what I am doing wrong to change the portrait to a different person - I cant get the last part to work.. no matter how carefully i follow - perhaps it is different in version 24.1? Thanks so much again.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Your version will work fine. At 8:06, I begin explaining how to replace the photo. Once you open the Smart Object's source photo, simply place a different photo on top of the source photo and hide the original source photo. Resize the photo to fit inside the document, and separate the subject from its background. Then close the tab of the source document (.psb file).

[@bipbop7905]

@@BLTV_Photoshop Thanks so much for your reply - I have tried this many times - the original source photo opens up fine when i double click but my new photo just gets placed on top of the original source photo (I've also tried going back to the altered image and placing it here) and then when i close the original source photo nothing happens - it doesn't ask me to update and everything is the same. I'm sorry I am a newbie! i also cant see the icon to separate it from its background - I think I must be opening or placing the new face into the wrong place. Thanks so much taking the time to reply!

I noticed the refine edge masked areas became a "glow" outline when the filters were added.

Muy bueno

[@christianakwesiamoafominis2203]

Thanks for the tutorial, please my pc doesn't have the oil paint option, how do I do this?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Is Oil Paint missing or is it grayed out. If it's missing, go to Image > Mode > RGB color, 8 bits/Channel.

[@zizoubiba4090]

Good job. thank you so much .

[@bajrangcreative7078]

Oh, man! that's is at nice tutorial, ...I don't haven't the Photoshop version that you used, mine is CS6 version. Can I do that's effect with the CS6? Thanks for your time.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Yes! However, Oil Paint is under Filter; not Filter > Stylize.

Could you do a tutorial on designing logo?

[@robertheath6968]

Hey Marty, great tutorial! I was wondering does this work with CMYK?

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Many of the filters may not work unless the mode is RGB. Frankly, CMYK is only beneficial if you want to see what your image's colors may look like if it's printed. However, even that isn't accurate.

[@nadireditz383]

Oil paint not in the list how do i do now & GREYC Storation plugin is grey blurd.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Unfortunately, GreyC Station isn't available anymore. cimg.eu/greycstoration/

[@denisesomewherearoundhere1798]

Could this be made into an action? That’s not something I have a lot of familiarity with, but it seems like that would be so helpful.

[@linag2364]

Yes, you can make this into an action

[@linag2364]

Once you start to edit the picture, Go to Window - Actions. The panel should come up and it would already have some default actions you can try out later. Click on the bottom that has the Record Icon - next to the play button - you click that, put a name for your action and start working - It will record everything you are doing. Once you finish, click on the stop icon to stop recording your step. Thats it! =]
