[@ted_jerome]

Great tutorial! I especially enjoy your presentation with zooming to the relevant controls and the red under- or out-lining animations--it all works to impart the lesson very clearly.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Ted! I'm glad you found those useful. I will start adding them to all my tutorials.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Tom!

[@leidycasadiego3535]

cool thank you! i totally forgot about this and you remainded me. what i didn't know was about the copying from one layer and pasting it and get it in in the right position. i mean what you did with the flag was awesome and new for me! thank you very much! Greetings from Chicago!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Leidy!

[@ErfMuck]

Wow, you are a life saver. I did not know you could add multiple images at once. Thanks for that.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@reginaldomartins6195]

Man, I really liked this technique....thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.....

[@MaxPhotoGraphic]

[@tonylewis4386]

Brilliant tutorial, you explain things so clearly. And photoshop is the most amazing programme. Thanks

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Tony!

[@VlCepesh]

Thanks for tutorial. I like using stack mode. There is one more trick with this mode. If you need make picture in a night but don't have tripod use highest ISO and make series of pictures with high speed shutter. Then by using stack mode kill noise ))

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Yup! Thanks for sharing!

[@EricAlainDufresne]

Outstanding. Thank you very much for that video.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@SemageNamalSurendra]

[@misha4422]

Well, another good day, I learned something new. Well presented. Now that I know that this is possible, I can envision situations where I could create the photo sets. PS has some amazing features. Thank you for this video.

[@Sirllortedlov]

[@JJ-zn6ql]

Nice!! Great video. 👍

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you!

[@uzaak4]

no dislikes: shows how much essential this video is.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

yousuf, thanks! Someone will dislike it. it always happens! 😊

[@SteveStrummerUK]

Thank you for such a clear and informative tutorial (as always) Jesus. This technique is going to be so useful to me!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@marinamelnikova5947]

Thank you for a very useful tutorial. I couldn't get perfect result, but I guess that having only three photos of the same place were not enough, I will definitely go back to the place I liked and try to improve the result. Thank you!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Marian, yes, that was the problem. I would say no less than 8 photos. But it really depends on how many people are moving through the scene. I've used as many as 30.

[@tubelesstube4237]

Perfect TECHNICal work..thanks sir

[@MaryBellewImages]

Excellent and understandable tutorial. Thanks

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@ImaginetMedia]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you for for taking the time to produce and to share your skills in Photoshop.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

imaginetMedia you're welcome!

[@jensvielmann7662]

I knew that one for a while... but honestly It never really worked for me. Probably because the places i really wanted to use it on were alot more busy. I did see that i took enough shot to have every square meter in the image empty at one time or another. But I think if any given place is empty only in a few shots. E.g. one tourists leaves another comes in etc. It fails. So in other words... helpful for a few tourists but not really for a tourist hotspots. At least I havent had any luck with stack modes... came closer with manually masking it. But of cause that is just the technique. You presentation was great as always.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Jens, yeah, on areas with heavy traffic you need to make sure that people move and reveal different areas. It can be tricky and you need a good eye.

[@jeremy2852]

Thank you for every tutorial

[@phoenixtian]

lol I logged in to like and subscribe. Instructions were very clear and there's no bullshit promotion at the start

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, phoenixtian!

[@kbqvist]

Thanks - I have seem a couple of tutorials using 'mean' as stacking mode, now I understand why 'median' has the potential of making a cleaner image :-)

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Karsten!

[@SkipMichael]

Great tut. Thank you

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

[@DiviPhotos]

very nice video Thanks!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@RobertoBraicovick]

Nice!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thanks!

[@viktortsoi3994]

Wow!!! That was awesome! One question though。 Instead of cropping errors out, can u bring one of the image in and use masking to fix the errors? Or use the copy and paste method you showed us here

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Yeah, you can do that. Better yet, use a tripod! In this example I wanted to show the worst case scenario.

[@tofu4you]

Question: Would it be better to edit RAW files in LR before stacking? Or is it the same quality as the process that you showed in this vid? I ask because I haven't done this kind of edit before and if you could shed light on the learning curve, it would be great :)

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

If you have raw files, I would process them first in Lr or Camera RAW, then do the stacking.

[@JulianGarrett]

This was great. My only question is what happened to the flag in the final image?

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Woopsy Daisy! lol

[@Dario2nd]

AWESOME !

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you!

[@phylliswaterfield]

[@carwashconnoisseur7216]

[@BilianaBiBiShiBiBiShaN1111]

[@ZahaWebConsultants01]

That was like a magic wand .. I feel angry on those 3 idiots who gave a thumbs down. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

lol, thank you!

[@bkamau909]

thanks Jesus. loved your session at Max!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome! Thank you so much for attending! :)

[@dsrtfitphotography4310]

Is there a big difference between mean and median? This is also good for reducing noise :)

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

They're very similar, but median tends to work better for removing objects. and, yes it is!!!

Excelente

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Gracias!

[@tonivanderweert7014]

Thank you for this great tutorial. I did another appraoch to achieve the same. Where can I post my result? Best regards toni

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Toni, you can share a link here. Or you can email me from my website.

[@tonivanderweert7014]

OK, here it is. drive.google.com/open?id=0B0TE6UhgqshZTzRVSzVvOUdlMU0 The left one is yours. What I did: I took only 3 pics (with rather similar positions) and copied the empty spaces into the ones with persons. Put some clouds in it an mirrored the clouds in the building on the LHS. I don't have to stack or crop. I left the dark (shadowed) parts as is, it works more natural for me. Everything stays in position as is. My editing software is PhotoLine. I quess, my appraoch is much faster. Best regards from Stuttgart, Germany.

[@welhim21]

wow nice 1

[@TiagoPinheiromidia2]

Great tutorial. But I can´t find Scripts/Statistics in my Photoshop CS6 for PC and can´t find the Camera Raw filter too.

[@morpheusthyrux]

Wanted to know whether you have a video to prevent banding while editing images in PS.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

I do not, unfortunately.

[@salikkhan5158]

Awsum tutorial sir. But Where i can download this footage for practice.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

My website! See description!

[@quinnjones2886]

Does anyone know if something similar can be accomplished using GIMP?

[@doraft72]

thank you

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@figuaba]

Great tutorial, Thanks. How do I get the "Camera Raw Filter" from the "Filter" menu??

[@sutejotan5817]

so good

[@markdayphotography7948]

Hi Jesus, This tutorial taught me so much. Linking this tutorial with your recent 'button mode action' tutorial, would it be feasible to create an action for the statistics method? I think not, as there will need to be a pause for selecting the images? Keep up the fantastic work. Mark

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Mark, I guess you could do one. Just off the top of my head though, I'm not sure how much time an Action would save if all you are doing is running the Statistics script.

[@arpadhejja734]

Thanks for letters, they are very useful, have a nice day...

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome!

[@Theshawnadrian]

why doesnt my stack mode appear? i see it in the dropdown tab but it doesnt highlight itself so i am unable to click it

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Did you load all the photos?

[@Donly1pt]

I also am having this problem... what am I doing wrong?

[@leonasworkshop]

same here, has anybody been able to make it work?

[@uranbilegz]

Hey guys. Did you solve this problem? I have also this problem.

[@tulgagan9803]

which version? cs6 or high ?

[@evilishfairy]

I couldn't do this step "Apply The Median Stack Mode To The Smart Object", when i go to the layer option and to smart object, the stack mode option is available but i can't click on it.I made sure that the smart object i made is selected.Please help me!!!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Try the Statistics method shown at 6:09.

[@gmagich80]

The picture you cropped at the end and the final pic are not the same (check the flag you talked about). Anyway it is a good tutorial! Thank you!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Good eye ;)

[@shimonperesi]

Hi, in my PS 2015 I havent buttton: "creat smart object after loading layers" . (2:32 in this video) What to do?!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You should have it in CC 2015. Are you clicking in the right area? Also, try the Layers > Smart Object > Convert to Smart Object.

[@carlossruilowacespedes596]

how do i add myself on the picture? do i take one or 2 pictures on the same place with me on it and then copy myself on the picture with no one on ???

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Yeah, take a photo in the same place and copy your self in the photo with the other people removed.

[@TheMojo140]

I still keep seeing people vaguely in the smart object I've created, what can I do to really see only the buildings ?

[@TheJoaoCasali]

Guys, I remember seeing this stack feature, on a smartphone, that promised to "eliminate crowds" in photos of tourists attractions, but I don't remember which phone it was, do any of you know which phone was that? PS.: I remember it was like 1-2 years ago, and the test was made in the Athens Acropolis, or a place similar.

[@Somebody616]

Ayyy that's Oakland

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

That's right!

[@erichartmann6186]

I downloaded the files. When I pressed shift+command+v the flag was not pasted but I added a vector smart object. What gives?

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Eric, when you copied, where you on the correct layer? I'm not sure why it would do that otherwise.

[@gta5modmalaysia]

my stack mode on PS CC14 grey out... is there anyone know how to fix it

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Are the files loaded?

[@stevenfarmer4496]

my stack option is greyed out :(
