Paint BRILLIANT Color with Linear Light Blend Mode

[@davidwright1989]

Maybe the best Photoshop tip I've seen on KZbin. Very simple and very effective!

[@f64Academy]

Thanks, David😁 this is one of my favorite tricks!

[@tomdupuis8466]

You continue to amaze me. You are a gifted artist and a great instructor. You create ACCUREATE ways to resolve problematic issues for the photographer. You find ways that no other has or can do. Others copy one another on the same topic. You also give the viewer free brushes, actions, etc. which helps many. I don't know how you do it, but I thank you Sir.

[@f64Academy]

It's my pleasure! I love what I get to do for a living. I find great joy in seeing the growth of others..I appreciate you!

[@robertstonephoto]

Best part of this video? Using the Alt key to bring up the color picker while using the Brush tool! My tip? To get the 'opposite' of the selected color, use a 180° hue rotation in the color dialog. (Note: you can do the math in the Hue field: if the current value is less that 180, simple type +180 after the value. If the current value is more than 180, type -180 after the value. The Tab key will complete the calculation.) Another awesome technique from f64 Academy!

[@f64Academy]

Awesome thanks! Great tip too. Sometimes I don't want the exact color, notice how I added a little bit of orange to that yellow? That was to get it close to yellow, but then bring in some of that orange light from the sunrise. But great tip!

[@mwarth55]

You're such an enthusiastic teacher and you explain everything in a way that's easy to understand. I'm a f64 elite member and really enjoy your training! Thank you!

[@f64Academy]

Awesome 😎 thanks so much for your support it really means a lot to me.

[@robertvanmaele471]

This video bring up the use of brushes and how easy and quick you get the result you are after! In less then half en our, I learn more than in the last month!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@f64Academy]

So cool 😎 love it!

[@ralphpayne6259]

One of the shortest, quickest, simplest and, without doubt, best tips videos I have seen for handling colour in images. I thought the first half was good but then it got even better with using opposite colour. And then ... portraits and skin tones!! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

[@f64Academy]

Awesome! Thanks so much 😁 I love this technique!

[@chuzzle72]

Woah, I nearly skipped this but what a great education that was! Thanks for sharing!

You Sir are a genius :-) I just played around with it and WOW the difference I can make using this and your wonderful brushes is amazing.

[@f64Academy]

Thanks so much! I just report my successes :)

[@trout3212001]

Thanks for another great video. I saw something you might find interesting on a KZbin video about pastel painting. The artist had a sign on her easel saying "Values do the work, but color gets the glory". This video illustrated that nicely.

[@f64Academy]

Ooooh I like that!!!

[@daniellerockett56]

That is so cool. Very informative and simple. Thanks for sharing Blake.

[@richardstalter5461]

Thanks, Blake. You always add such a fresh way of looking at things.

[@f64Academy]

I appreciate that!

[@joedlafferty]

Another stunning short training video Blake. I've been taking photos for a long time and am a fairly experienced photoshop user but I have learned so much from watching your channel. Your videos are excellent. Short, informative, quick (while still allowing people to keep up!), and making complex adjustments simple. Keep up the great work!

[@f64Academy]

Great to hear and thanks so much for the feedback. It means an awful lot to me, really.

Great addition to the info from your linear light course.... thank you!

My pleasure! This was included in that course as well ;) Just in a different context.

d’oh... meant to comment on the brush making video....but now trying to build a brush of my own.... 😬🤓

[@DarrenRussinger]

WOW!! This is fantastic!! And I just happen to be editing a senior with red hair and pale skin right now. The timing is impeccable. Thanks for this & the brushes!!

[@f64Academy]

What a coincidence 🤔 glad I could help 😁

[@MrPeachy49]

Great technique. The structure of the effects I get from your PE3 panel have inspired me to use different blend modes and adopt those in some of my images... this looks like a similar approach. I love the subtle nature of what you achieved in this video. Thanks again.

[@f64Academy]

Awesome! This is in PE 3 in the painting palette already.

[@DanielChauLifeThroughLens]

You blown my mind. Thank you 🙏

[@sandracalderbank1788]

How do I 'alt sample' for color on a blank layer? I don't see a 'sample current and below'. I'm using Mac in PS2021

[@f64Academy]

A blank layer contains no color data so you'll have to select a layer with actual color.

[@sandracalderbank1788]

@@f64Academy thank you SO much, thought I was losing my mind! Watching you it looks like you are selecting from the blank layer but I am clearly just slow. I really enjoy your videos and always learn something new.

No problem! All the little Ps nuances take time.

[@stevethompson8154]

[@f64Academy]

Thanks!

[@f64Academy]

Did you learn something new you'd like to share with us? What strategies do you have for making your colors come alive in Photoshop?

[@Photosbytw]

I don't manipulate my images to any great extent........D&B and very little sharpening. Your use of colors while in linear light has me curious and bears further investigation......kudos

Hi Blake, I've just tried out the new colour/linear blend mode in conjunction with download brushes. What can I say - just great! Very easy to use, minimising halo & performing brilliantly. Also great when using the D&B tools..... Thank you.

[@elistyle82]

Thank you Blake for thinking out of the box. Very interesting technic. What is the filter on the lens for aerochrome? I have a Canon 700D and I bought color filters for the lens but I looks that most of the lens filters now are not so useful as a lot of filters can be made by using photoshop. Do you think that there are still physical filters worthy to have/buy?

[@f64Academy]

I have a Full Spectrum converted camera with the IR Chrome Filter on the lens. I love it, but you can only use that lens filter with a converted camera. I would also say I wouldn't use any lens filters without a converted camera. They just don't do IR well. Lots of variables!

[@ohnoflicks]

I have been using PS since before Layers. 1998 maybe? When people ask me about “learning” it, I tell them I learn something new every day. Thanks! I learned something new -;)

[@f64Academy]

Perfect! Me too strong 1999, it's an endless program, I truly love it!

[@SteveStrummerUK]

This is wonderful Blake. I've just tried it on an image I've thrown *everything* else at (Camera Raw Filter, HSL, Luminosity Masks) to bring out some selective colour and I got the results I was after in seconds. How on earth do you discover these things?

[@f64Academy]

Woo hoo! I experiment a LOT, I allow myself to fail, and I celebrate my successes :)

[@brianbochicchio7729]

Brilliant!

[@f64Academy]

😁

[@kcmophotographer]

Hey, Blake! I'm revisiting some of your videos today. Got a question for you. How would this technique fit in with our Linear Light D&B? Any preferences?

[@f64Academy]

Not really anything different than the usual preferences for linear light, use fill to adjust it and then blend if where needed.

[@kenmorris2858]

Great tip...

[@f64Academy]

My pleasure!

[@stephencampbell7395]

When you use this method are the Flow and Opacity both at 100% or do you recommend a lower flow for the brush? I know that using a tablet that the pressure on the stylus is the key.

[@f64Academy]

I use them at max and control it with pen pressure and the fill of the layer.

[@nishachainani]

Wow!!

[@jbphoto360]

[@MioMyDog]

[@ianbrowne9304]

Thanks Blake; that is always something new to know. Seems better than the softlight way I have been using that is great for colouring black and white images However; could do me a favour by tiring a brick to your tongue to slow it down a little :lol: . My old blown out hearing and brain cannot keep up mate :) Cheers -- keep safe

[@f64Academy]

Nope, never slowing down lol. Sorry. It's not my style, slow KZbin videos are boring and people stop watching them quickly, trust me, you actually appreciate this cadence you just don't know it until you hear the librarian teach you Photoshop 😂

[@DaveReasonsSr]

You can actually slow down the fast talk on replay. Just click on the gear symbol and choose your speed.
