Can you spot the mistake I made while recording this video? Hint: It’s something I say.

[@DARJA.SAVARUS]

Hmm.. i dont know. ☺

[@jumjam234]

The mistake​ is that I am not first.

[@joaovitordossantos9949]

ya you say 500 and use 300

[@serge2nd]

yeah at 02:53 you say you want to blur each of these layers 500 pixels instead you use 300

[@Mung1983]

1:21 you said you're going to make a new background for each colour you choose.

[@YehoshuaDerovan]

I missed your stuff man!! And btw, the "warming up" status bar thingy is such a great idea!!

[@cozyrainforsleep]

Nice simple technique! It's much more interesting than a simple gradient. I'm going to try to incorporate this into some of the techniques I use in making my relaxing colors + music videos. Thanks! 💙

[@evilpoony6254]

woww,, thanks

[@alberthinkle6478]

Thansk man this is gold. Where did you get the toppings?

[@chamindasamaranayaka2716]

wonderful

[@bushraaleem6806]

amazing. but from where you get that topping ?

[@elliottasbury4667]

Great tutoriual! Two thoughts: 1) Always best to convert your layers to smart objects. And 2) for adding noise, a more versatile way to do that is to go to Layer > New Layer, change the blend mode to "overlay" in the modal and check "Fill with Overlay-neutral color". From there, convert that new layer to a smart object, make sure it's the top layer, and apply that same amount of gausian monochromatic noise from the filter menu. This gives you a universal control for the whole image on one layer and, since it's a smart object, means you can punch it up or dial it down until you get the results you're after.

[@dantheman2907]

True, but if all your layers are smart objects, there's no harm in adding the noise to each individual layer. I think his reason for adding the tiny amount of noise to the individual layers is that it requires less noticeable noise to reduce the banding when done in this way. From my personal experience it seems to require more when the noise is added as a layer on top of everything, though I'm generally working in 8bit, so it might be different in 16bit.

[@nasreenshaikhattarriyah7079]

Superb

[@s.j.graphicsdesignaccounti5340]

[@blazezard501]

Can you do this on AE or Premiere Pro or maybe so the colours are shifting positions across the screen? Thanks and keep up the great job

[@mrglissi]

Is this a suggestion for another tutorial, or are you asking if it's possible? Anyways, it is definitely. I've worked with this technique more than once :)

[@elprimo4194]

Un saludo desde México

[@SkylarGreyillustrator]

Please sir, what is the name of that stuff you drag and drop on the background to make it looks as if it's raining?

[@tejindersinghswaraj5958]

What is that topping? How to create one of these? And yeah nice black blazer/jacket.

[@nyirongojackson2695]

Awesome I really enjoyed though you were a bit fast

[@uglyboy4067]

perhaps you can help me with a project. I need to take a still image and add it to a music video, but, I need to make the image transition through the color spectrum using the saturation type tools so it smoothly moves from one color to the next. I have tried looking for some tutorials but cant seem to find a decent one. any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

[@dodactros7501]

Hi, where i can download toppings please... thank you

[@sahilrajput7447]

good

[@raghavkumar3396]

Would u add that image link in ur description??😁

[@mushabirenahiirwabright2207]

[@fardinkamal62]

Wait! What's that 'Banana' under the zoom tool???

[@vardhamancreation7414]

hey i have a quarry want to ask how can i contect

[@squishybot575]

where do i get the "toppings".......and is there another name for them that is not related to pizza

[@braddocke.hutton7392]

How can I simply paint an entire screen a single color? I'm new to Photoshop. I've watched a couple hours worth of tutorials and still haven't seen anyone explain what I'm trying to do. The paintbrushes I have are too small and it'd take me an hour to scribble all over the white page until it all was filled in with yellow, for instance. Any larger brushes I've found immediately delete as soon as I unclick the mouse. Thanks

[@redorangeneko]

choose the color you want to paint the screen with on the color picker and press alt + delete

[@Chloe-vf7nh]

My colors are fading when I do Gaussian blur. Is that normal? I want my colors to be bright like in the tutorial. Hopefully someone can help!

[@timchuang6297]

try increase saturation by just adding a hue filter

[@lucutes2936]

what about 32 bit

[@jirkadolezal8127]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bazwillrun]

2:49 theres "artists" whove made big money selling works just like that ! :)...makes ya wonder

[@Gamesforus1]

Its more to do with what the image means. This image doesn't mean much of anything, but usually you can find meaning in art that visually looks like that in museams. Its hard to explain, but I do get why many people see it like laziness or uncreativity.

[@WAMProducties]

we live in a society

[@timwatley4793]

Who exactly are you referring to?

[@Moodboard39]

What?

[@thomasc7992]
