I hope to someday be able to move as fluid as you guys in Photoshop!

[@MoeZainal]

I personally wished that few years ago & I think I made it through, you can too!

[@Samvelxxx]

Yay! you are back!

[@piravinpremaruban7431]

I like your attention to details such as the light hitting the customized wall or even the reflection on the bottom left corner on the the floor 🤯 . Always excited to learn from you. Greetings from Germany !

[@MoeZainal]

Oooo someone is really good at looking at the details :) Thank you buddy, if you have noticed these then you are on the right track.

[@robertmellor105]

fantastic video as always enjoyed watching great to see some colab work between the greats :)

[@adamjordan7822]

Wow, I wish I knew how to use Photoshop like this! This is amazing

[@MoeZainal]

You can learn to use it, and by practicing you might get better at it than us!

[@PistonUniverse]

awesome work ~! Moe ~! from South Korea

[@MoeZainal]

Thanks buddy, I'd love to visit South Korea one day 🙌🏽

[@EricBarger]

Am I missing the newsletter signup link in the description? Nice work @Moe. You do a fantastic job with your tutorials.

[@MoeZainal]

Oh boy, you are right, here is a link goo.gl/Nfvugr

[@Matt_warren_photography]

Awesome video love your work. Can I ask when Alex makes the paths with the pen can you make me more than 1 path at 1 time? For instance he went around the car and then did the inside Windows but it looks like that was all done on 1 layer? Is that correct? Cheers keep up the good work

[@stanpapior3409]

If, after completing one path selection, you then hold down the command key and simultaneously click you will see the cursor will change into an arrow. This will also save the selection you've just made and you can then start a second/third one.

[@Ivokbg]

Great video! Do you sometimes use modifiers to soften the light? On which parts of the car do you use them?

[@MoeZainal]

I do use a stripbox everynow and then.

[@DSPrints_]

17:52 there’s a white gap, top right of garage door where you’ve not quite stretched it enough! Details man, details!

[@BarrySeah]

Is there a tutorial regarding the check color part? It is really useful but it was breezed through in the tutorial. Can have a tutorial on tone matching part?

[@MoeZainal]

Hey Barry, here is a color matching tutorial with a similar flow kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZTGqq2LiMdnf7s

[@BarrySeah]

@@MoeZainal thank you!

[@555vrx]

i see Joe Satriani poster on the wall :)

[@MoeZainal]

Only great people with great taste in music would notice this ;)

[@555vrx]

@@MoeZainal Cheers man. Have been twice on Joe Satriani lives - Budapest G3 (Satriani, Vai, Morse) and in my home city Tallinn. I'm working with sport cars daily and photography is 1 of my hobbies. Really enjoy your work mate. ❤️ Will keep watching and learning.

[@MoeZainal]

@@555vrx ah you are lucky! Satriani is such a unique artist. Glad to know you're enjoying your hobby, happy to know you've found my videos helpful 😀

[@nicolasassaro8754]

why you haven't use a cpl to cut of the reflection on the car?

[@MoeZainal]

I believe I didn't have a CPL on set, that wasn't a planned shoot, I had to improvise and work with what I had.

[@alexblanchet1999]

@@MoeZainal Do you use CPL habitually when you shoot with flash ?

[@junhaozhang533]

Wonder if that ‘wallpaper’ need some texture or not really?

[@dakarimassey875]

Am I too late to receive the RAW files?

[@MoeZainal]

Nope, I send them every now and then, they also include previous RAWs

[@AlSo-Fotografie]

hmm i miss the base layer in the raw files :/

[@MoeZainal]

Agh, my bad! please download the base layer here drive.google.com/file/d/1MIZwNb-umP0s8T7TwHWOh5E_gK4hQky7/view?usp=sharing

[@MoeZainal]

[@TakaTakaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Yes, i learn from your videos.

[@michaelbartello6121]

I’d have preferred the background be retouched properly rather than stretching the shit out of it.

[@BIGMOE87]
