Very informative yet again, like most people I set white balance to auto in camera then tweak in photoshop but this is a whole new level and way of looking at it, the more I watch your video's the more I'm learning thank you so much brother.

The Mailchimp link to Blake's Brilliant Blender Brushes on your websites is now dead. If you're able to resurrect it, please let me know. I would like to try your linear light blend mode technique. Thank you and have a nice day.

Pretty clever that. I'd love to see some comparison examples of the difference between opacity and fill.
@f64Academy6 ай бұрын
Thanks, bro! In this case because of the blend mode, it's one of the eight special blend modes that requires fill, opacity by itself just lessens the effect but doesn't change how the blend mode interacts with the lower layers. So for these blend modes fill is the first thing to go for, then when you've dialed in how you want it to interact with the layer use opacity to reduce the intensity of the effect.

Not necessarily. That is a place for sure, but you won't have access to blend modes which really help make a lot of the effect.

What am I missing Blake? As soon as I select the object selection tool it make a selection for the whole of the subject, then I cannot select just the eye?
@f64Academy6 ай бұрын
Turn the object finder off, it's the thing that makes everything pink that it knows it's an object for it to select. I didn't know the exact nomenclature, I'm not looking at PS this second. But it's a setting in the toolbar, make your settings mimic mine. Then you should be good.
@prkancheese6 ай бұрын
You don't need to turn it off, just do the selection with the lasso tool on top of what photoshop identifies as the subject. Unless you select the subject it won't commit the change, so you're free to define your own selection with the lasso tool.

Thank you very much for sharing Blake. The Power of Gradient Maps and Blending Modes open us a lot of freedom to play with colors and depths. Using this wonderful technique, I am just wondering if Blend If could also fine tune the colors as being natural..I am defenitely going to play with. Amazing ideas you have all the time and from you any of us still have something to learn. Thank you again.
@f64Academy6 ай бұрын
Yes, I will routinely throw in there to protect the pupil if it gets too dark. Also this isn't the gradient map, that will give you a different effect altogether. This is just a regular gradient. Thanks for watching and bringing other ideas to the table 😁

@@f64Academy Don't forget about the Home Improvement/Tool Time theme for your next Christmas photo shoot with your family. When you showed the image of your wife I thought about your themes for Christmas. I remember saying the Tool Time theme just might fit with your family. I love your tutorials and making PS easy for us to learn. You just about got me convinced about "blend if" instead of luminosity masks.
