Mr.. can you make a video for HOW TO MAKE FACIAL FEATURES POP OUT WITH RETOUCHING

[@DavidThomasScorbal]

Aaron watches Portlandia. If I wasn't already subbed, I'd sub just for that comment.

[@FatehMuhammadRaja]

[@joeltjames4942]

awesome tutorial...I did that with perfection

[@DaveStealsTheShow]

That was AWESOME!!

[@amateurphotographer1096]

Brilliant tutorial

[@LayneRussell]

Exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@elian3084]

Great tutorial! I would've pushed things even further by adding some subtle blurry shadows on the surface of the water under those birds, but that's just me and my OCD...

[@priba11]

thank you man ... good video,,its help me

[@HEREONOUTBAILEY]

Excellent tutorial, Aaron - Thank you. I would love to see you post a tutorial on how to turn on window lights in Photoshop. For example, shooting a building at night then somehow illuminating the rooms in back in Photoshop. Many thanks :)

[@MPhoto04742]

Since summer is over and fall is here I am having issues with clients with tan lines, how about a video to show how to get rid of them

[@rererhman6826]

Thank you .. nice idea

[@MarcyUnlimited]

Good Job.... Do U guys Photoshop videos as well.

[@ГалинаИванова-ч2ю]

Thank you. It is a good lesson. For me it is a new skill

[@FotoandFun]

Hi Aaron, Love your tutorials. They are very informative and clear. Thank you!!

[@mightymuffinful]

Thank you very much for your wonderful tutorials. You definitely make learning fun. :)

[@Arcane36]

Great video. I just could not stop looking at the blue line that was over the tree, which you forgot to erase :D

[@Noobiebro]

Can you put the links of the photos you use? Bird Photo and the couple?

[@TomWindeknecht]

I like how you duplicated the main image and switched the layer style to Hue, to color match the birds, to the colors in the scene.

[@faresgraphicdesigner4452]

Really you 're good man

[@orihanstudio]

Hi, can you make one episode how to make panorama around the circle, known as tiny planets? Thank you and all the best!

[@BuntyBS]

Thanks very very much

[@gustinefm]

Thanks for the tutorial. Definitely useful. Btw, enjoyed the joke of the siren. lol

[@art8601]

Enjoy this video and learn....

[@almaenismnfh9124]

hi aaron, i love to play with curves, but you know i don't really understand that much, i mean when i should decrese or increase the curve or what the difference between RED GREEN BLUE and also the affect when i make a 'dot' thing along the line. please explain this one, cz i use curves tool often. \ thx

[@shiearco]

very good 😊

[@danielandrejkovics9927]

good explanation man, thank you for your videos :) bell knocked out

[@rubenhernandez7744]

[@marcelofonte]

Excelente aula, parabéns!

[@kellychintali5849]

THIS IS AMAZING TRICK

[@elpidiogallardo4502]

You are pretty good young boy, You are the best

[@akashadearg-due1435]

Fantastic

[@JimBCameron]

Bit pedantic, but shouldn't you also slightly blur the birds if you're reducing them to look like they're in the background to imply the camera focus?

[@marlz99]

yep

[@niels6090]

Depends on the photo you want to blend. In the exaple he used, with the sea in the background, there can be a bit of a hazy atmosphere. So reducing their opacity and thus saturation & contrast values makes them blend in quite well. Feel free to use a bit of a blur though, the more subtle touches you use the better things come together.

[@terrahappy2558]

Hi Aaron! This may be a silly question but can you make a video for beginner level using digital background? If you have one already great! please let me know. I have a picture of my kids that I would like to place in a autumn digital background. My issues is I can't get it to look real. I dont know enough of PS to do so. I wanted to reach out and see if you could help me out. Thanks

[@Kitbb77]

I have photoshop elements 15, so it doesn’t have the color range option. Is their an alternative option to use?

[@lehang1518]

So useful for me. Thank you so much :3

[@art8601]

Thank you for sharing this video. I follow your instructions and could manage it. one thing couldn't do it , at the end you showed us if we don't need birds can delete it i can not make it.

[@paul_neff]

I love this guy

[@rferstahl]

I have a doubt In a non-related matter: which file format is better for exporting from Lightroom to finish retouching in Photoshop? TIFF, PSD or any other?

[@anghelov]

Thanks man!

[@bas2362]

I made a brush for this, looks awesome! Great tutorial tho! Has been a while man! Keep it up!!

[@Shotokan_Greenland]

brilliant! thank you!

[@YesThatJoeyBurton]

Thought of Portlandia's "put a bird a bird on it" the second I saw my Phlearn subscriber email. Didn't think Aaron could get cooler, but...

[@StinkyDustyBird]

Badass! Ty

[@jimbobaroobud]

As you mentioned, the birds were flying in the blue sky, so there was blue reflected on them. When you selected out the sky using Color Range, you also selected out some of the bird parts that were blue. Shouldn't you paint over the birds in the Layer Mask with white to show the whole bird before you place the Hue Layer over the bird layer?

[@thinman1934]

I need a "Photoshop correct siren". Thanks for a great tutorial.

[@rodolfodelossantos6138]

Thank you, This really helped me

[@sarahorbiso504]

how you made that there are two pictures on the same page? 😊😊

[@nikoszisidisgrmstudio]

hey!! you are my favorite! you make it look so easy...!! by the way what kind of camera you use to film this tutorial?

[@faruqueabdullah6053]

Hi PHLEARN. It's a great tutorial indeed. Can you make a tutorial on how to add Fog in photoshop? Regards Faruque (India)

[@shadzscape]

thank you so much, very helpful. I used to use brush tool to add birds! this technique much easier and looks more legit 👌😊

[@Mung1983]

Hi Aaron, I love your videos. One question. Can we use the paint bucket tool to fill according to a brush? Does that question make sense. Suppose I made a brush with a texture I really like but I want to fill the space I have with that exact same texture easily. Does the paint bucket tool allow is to do this? Cheers mate and please check my other comments about other suggestions.

[@101jumpit]

Nice 1 Aaron.(Y)

[@FourHimphotography]

Hey Aron! Phlearn has been such an amazing learning tool. I do have one question. I've been watching some of your camera raw episodes. Every time you upload a photo into photoshop, do you always upload it first in camera raw? Also do you always choose 16 bit?

[@VerzoProductions]

I just wanted to say that this format of tutorials is perfect, thank you

[@westonerdmann2375]

SO COOL.😃🌆

[@baryafe]

Really nice tutorial, clear and amazing as always! Thank you #Phlearn
