I think this is my 8th video of yours and I'm trying to download all the gradients you have available for us. It's hard to find people who are genuinely interested in what they do especially online, but your enthusiasm for gradients and Photoshop has made me equally enthused, leading me to stay up 7 hours past midnight just so I can explore more and play around with different filters and gradients. Thank you so much for what you do!

How can you not be excited with the enthusiasm Blake brings in every tutorial. With all the horror going on in the world, this man truly gives me hope for our future. He is a gift to the photography world and I was blessed the day I discovered him. I'm not sure what else I can say about this man that I haven't already in other places. If you follow him, you will learn a ton and become open to your (in my case) hidden artist inside. If he can make an old, nerd of an engineer, excited about making art, he can certainly help you - especially if you join f64 elite. You get much more than your money's worth, I guarantee you. It is the most value I've ever gotten, by a lot, of any photographic purchase I've ever made - and no, he doesn't pay me to say this, he's just that good!

Are you able to do a video on how to use the gradient tool in camera raw to replace physical filters esp creating revers grad and one that darkens sunset/sunrise on horizon and lightens as it goes out in both directions. Adobe really need to have option to do this in camera raw rather than the stock grad
@f64Academy4 жыл бұрын
You can definitely do that, but you do need to know your camera and sensor well to really be able to control it. You kind of have to be aware that you are going to do it in post while you are shooting. The reason is because it could cause your highlights to blowout or shadows to clip if the exposure was not right in the first place.
@tonys31124 жыл бұрын

I really appreciate this tute....I’ve been using PS for 25 years but never caught on to this snappy use of the diamond. Everyday is a chance to learn. I guess that if you stop learning then it’s time to pack it in. Many thanks Blake.......just tried it on a fairly flat landscape I took 20 years ago....quite a transformation. Must admit that I am not keen on using other people’s work on my own images, such as actions, templates and looks....a step too far. Creating an image should surely be the creator’s own work. You wouldn’t expect Picasso to get someone to step in to "speed his work flow."
