Dramatically Transform the Light in Photoshop!

Turn a Scene with a Dull Boring Daylight to Dramatic Moonlit Night with Photoshop! Learn how to use simple adjustment layers to create advanced lighting effects, and take complete control of light.
In this tutorial, we will focus on painting the light manually and create highlights and shadows that simulate the moonlight. We will create the atmosphere just by using Color Lookup Tablets, and the drama by using fundamental dodging and burning.
In the end, we will top it off by creating some overlays like fog or mist, and applying a little bit of color grading! I hope this video helps you :) Thank you so much for watching!

[@mikedodge1322]

I just came across your channel. Photoshop newbie here and I have to say that you are an amazing teacher. Great speed in your videos, slow enough to understand, but fast enough to not get bored! Look forward to more!!

[@viloriamarkjonel3028]

This is what I am waiting. Thank you so much 😊 Great tutorial

[@sakritone]

I wonder How LONG it took for you to learn all this stuff but I think my lifetime is not enough to learn all of what you know about Photoshop. In any case thank you again for a great / outstanding video !

[@TomatoTom83]

you are such a good teacher

[@colinboileau3448]

your tutorials are so nice to watch and listen to, and so easy to understand.Thank you

[@davestokes888]

Fantastic tip to use the transform tool on a layer mask.

[@artistknownaslisa2850]

I was wondering how to do that.

[@rolandrickphotography]

Dave Stokes , which point in time is that what you are meaning?

[@davestokes888]

@@rolandrickphotography Can't remember but it's fairly late on when doing the shadow underneath the elephant. It's not difficult or technical, just select the layer mask, hit ctrl+T and you can transform the pixels in the mask to change position, size, orienttion and aspect ratio of a feathered white circle on an otherwise black mask.

[@rolandrickphotography]

@@davestokes888 , thanks, I am quite used to that. But I was watching the video now more than twice and I am not aware the time stamp in video when Unmesh is using that. Somehow I always miss it/don't see it/am not aware of it.

[@davestokes888]

@@rolandrickphotography 13:00 is a good place to start, 13:20 is where he uses ctrl+T for the transform tool.

[@JawadSoomro]

I always had trouble adjusting the night vision of background. So we have HUE and SATURATION with Yellow thingy which you indicated, helped a lot. Thanks

"look at the DRAMA" !!! :D

[@kevinevans5782]

Love your tuts....been following you for awhile. Have you tried a Cintiq? It's so much better than just a regular intuos tablet.

[@PiXimperfect]

Hey Kevin! A Cintiq is indeed amazing, and I love it for painting or sketching. However, for retouching, I personally prefer a tablet without a screen because your hand won't be covering parts of the face while we are working on it.

[@arkar1705]

Hi sir, I'm facing a problem.. Refine edge look awful in select and mask .. I'm using CC 2017 and 2019 both the same I've seen alot of your tutorials but you did select perfect in that mode, but as I followed along that problems occurred. Please help me fixing it sir ...what do I need further installing PS Any other ways of fixing that awful selected edges ... Appreciate your work sir

[@PiotrTargoszPhotography]

It is possible to buy only one or two brushes pack from envatoelements? Or it is only possible after i I have mothly/yearly licence?

[@anandjoice3585]

[@magicspellscorner5887]

wacom tablet is necessary or any other tablet can be use for this ?

[@Trevisol16]

I'm thinking here if it's also applicable in portraits shots this kind of edit, you think that is a good call? . . Thank you for an awesome tutorial as always!!

[@GriffinSteve15]

Same

[@dravenheissel]

I always love your creations but, this time, I don't like pretty much lights over the elephant. Anyway, it's just a little detail and the whole image is great. Thanks a lot for all your amazing videos.

Hi Unmesh! Can you please recommend a good budget tablet below 15k (INR)? As I'm a Freelance Graphic Designer.

[@roythevananth3787]

Hi there. Can you do a tutorial on converting faces into caricatures.

[@Elythia]

It doesn’t look like a picture taken at night. In my opinion it looks like an underwater picture. ^^

[@NickDe3]

I think the moonlight glare and mist were a bit too much but he nailed the exposure.

[@lynellesarkis5472]

Hi There i use ps elements 9, is this the online uprade where i pay monthly. thank you

[@user-vy9de6io4j]

Hi there, can you make a tutorial about how making rough farbic into shinny smooth farbic in Photoshop plz? Like Wollen into patent leather? I've working on it for so long, but results seems not good enough.

[@Fun-qd7zi]
