for those who are clueless at 5:14..just right click > select inverse > alt+backspace or alt+backspace depends on your foreground colour..I dont know the easiest method and hope someone will teach us soon and I think this will helps =)

people having the 5:14 problem in video. CTR+SHFT+I= Invert/ ALT+BACKSPACE= Fill Black.....Also he doesnt say that you should start with white background shown on the copy of (red) channel so make sure the copy is selected.

[@Amedeo9]

Perfect! Thank you for explanation :-)

[@passagepassport]

Thank you a lot for that! May I ask, I use mac, and I tried with command+shift+I but nothing happens. Do you maybe know why? Also, is there a long way to do that - without shortcuts? thanks a lot!

Nemanja Sekulic how do you make the background black at 5:14 ik how alt backspace and i but instead of doing that it blacks out the cloud not the white background

[@macauleysmith3472]

this comment was 4 months ago but if anyone else has a similar problem, you have the cloud selected, if you press ctrl+shift+i it will select inverse, so everything but the cloud, then fill it with black

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Thanks for your comment and support. I completely missed this comment. But you are right. Have a great day 😊

[@Hallo_20]

Thats what i want to do

how did u erase the smoke at 1:30? ive been trying to use so many different methods but im stuck . u should put the shortcut keys u use in your vids it would be a lot less confusing. NVRMND i figured it out . great video by the way

[@NemanjaSekulic]

I did it using a layer mask and brush. No shortcuts for that. Cheers.

How did you invert the selection and put it in a black backround at 5:15 ?

[@KhaizerPlays]

I Have the same question! When i press Alt + Backspace its turn the area in black no the outside! Edit' press Shift+f7, u need to press Shift+f7 after Alt+backspace

[@Wahkit]

Learned a lot. Thanks for sharing~

[@koszauPL]

i was looking for tutorial like this one. thx :)

[@NemanjaSekulic]

koszau You're welcome 😉 I'm glad that you find it 😊

[@sammacsammac]

stupid youtube killed my comment with autoplay… anyways: very well done! for the brush you hardly need the cloud in transparent mode, black-and-white should be sufficient. in the end, it's a mask with white (fully transparent) and black (opaque). i haven't tried it, so tell me, if it makes a difference. for more depth you could probably use 16 bits for the brush-mask, but also not sure about this. to speed things up, you could also copy paste the red channel directly into rgb. but it's of course more obvious for demonstration purposes. another tip you surely know about is to command-click (mac) on a partly transparent layer, so everything that is less than 100% transparent gets selected. immediately press c for the crop-tool and you automatically get the optimal crop-box.

[@NemanjaSekulic]

You're complete right. And this is just one way. It is for a tutorial purpose. That way people will learn more things. Thanks for your comment and support!

[@ecindystein4096]

Thanks for this tutorial. Used the second method and it added greatly to the image.

[@NemanjaSekulic]

[@NemanjaSekulic]

Peggy Digital Art if you want to load selection from a channel you need to hold ctrl and then click on a channel

[@peggyps3d178]
