Check & Match Colors Precisely in Photoshop

Unlock the Amazing Power of Check Layers to Precisely Match Color while Making Composites in Photoshop! Whether you are into photo manipulation or simply changing backgrounds, Check Layers allow you to accurately blend the images by matching the color, saturation, and lighting, by looking at the different parameters of the image separately.
In this tutorial, we will learn how to use Curves, Hue/Saturation, Gradient Maps, and several other Adjustment Layers to match the elements of a composite. We will also learn how to create realistic shadows to go with the light.
Hope this tutorial helps. Thank you for watching :)

The only youtuber who wants its audience to learn and work perfectly, and gives logic and reasons for every step. Just love your videos

[@cherryblossomsky7023]

Couldn't agree more 🙏

[@mrpeace9836]

He is not just good at teaching but his attention to details and strive for perfection is why I love him even more.

[@johnnychin9598]

theres one more youtuber just like him. check photoshop training channel by jesus ramirez

[@captaincoding7171]

THE WORDS ARE JUST PERFECT FOR HIM

[@sushilrana4498]

I am a self-taught Graphic Designer and served in print media for more than three and a half decades in the capacity from Graphic Designer to Art Director. Although I am approx double of your age, yet honestly, I would admit you are one of the contributors to teach me Photoshop. Thanks a lot.

[@staticklingon2182]

Over 20 years working on photo programs like Photoshop and Paintshop Pro and this is by far the best composition tutorial I've ever seen. Being self-taught, I don't know how I ever would have learned this on my own. This is so far beyond the crappy techniques I've picked up over the years.

[@k4piii]

Doubt it

[@optimathinking2414]

@@staticklingon2182 sometimes it's true bro

[@joelwexler]

Three and a half decades? Did you come out of the womb doing this?

[@joelwexler]

Never mind - I thought that was the author's bio.

[@bobani17]

This guys is pure magic! Like everyone says, there is no better teacher out there! If we could only clonestamp you, and a few adjustment layers and have you teach us about EVERYTHING that would make the world a better place!

[@rhanniealegre4850]

I dont have a computer and I am practicing photoshop everyday for 5hrs. I work at night, so in the morning, right after my shift, I head straight to internet cafe. I always watch your video everyday and it really helps me a lot. It really takes time to master everything specially with the color blending. Thanks for being a teacher and a guide to everyone.

[@Harry2002-z9q]

Wow

[@rest_in_pain]

Wow hats off sir. I feel like a laziest ass in the world now...

[@lucashernandez8146]

I love how you perfectly explain everything you do. You deserve everything. Thanks.

[@aa-kr6fy]

I've been playing with Photoshop every day for years and I found your channel about a month ago. Your tutorials are by far the best I've seen for explaining techniques in a simple yet detailed manner. You are now one of my 'go to' guys. Thank you.

[@staticklingon2182]

I can't tell you for how many years I've wanted a tutorial for creating compositions and I've never found one. I now know why, this is pretty complex stuff. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I'm surely going to be coming back to this time and time again.

[@Sawta]

I absolutely love the presentation of this. Not only do you explain "why" before and during, you also give an excellent wrap up at the end of what it was we just did. You are providing an incredible service for thousands of people. I really appreciate what you've done here. Keep up the great work!

[@jaydee7273]

As always, even if you don't have photoshop, its awesome to watch you teach as you do. And wauw, you release content in a fast pace. Where one needs an entire week to prepare such teachings, it feels like you don't even need 2 days for it. Amazing.. just.. amazing :)

[@ArtingwithRandall]

I love that you carefully show us through start to finish. I've been doing PS forever, yet I learn something new every video. You are the first KZbinr I suggest to students for tutorials.

[@lfert44]

I watched many tuts about matching colours, but this is the ultimate father for all of them. Superb, step by step, clear and precise. Luv it!

[@valmarsiglia]

I've been a working graphic designer for over 20 years, and I've just discovered this channel - really great resource, thanks!

[@eugenemwakha5943]

Daaaaaamnnnnnn!!! The finest tutorial i've ever watched!!

[@luxcupscreative2190]

WOW!!! This was so amazing. I've been using Ps for 15 years and learned so much in the past 15 min.

[@gorazddejan]

Love the recap in the end, I've struggled with remembering the steps from the whole video but the recap at the end summarizes it well!

[@SagersFamily]

I have watched so many of your vids, some things you definitely have burned in my head; but one thing I wanted to tell you that I learned - sometime you had said something like "you'll never know life without curves" and you are so right - Curves are EVERYTHING. And all these neat little ways of checking your work. I think this one taught me the most. Thanks dude!

[@mrm4921]

You know you've landed on a true professionals channel when most other sites suggest using the poor quality quick fix "match color". Your photoshop tutorials are possibly the best ones I'be come across. Awesome

[@donaldzinter5629]

Thanks for your tips and great clarity -- yours was one of the best Photoshop tutorials I've seen. I've been using Photoshop for some years and never utilized check layers while compositing. Now I'll do it as a normal part of my workflow. Great job!

[@CaiShuRen]

Another fantastic tutorial from the PS GURU. My salute to you, Sir, for taking the effort to share your expertise knowledge, absolutely free of charge.

[@scpk2246]

one of the things I like most in channel is that THE THUMBNAILS IS NOT CLICK BAIT!!! it is what it is!!! kudos

[@bgdavenport]

I am self-taught and your instructions are helping to improve my skills!

[@cedricporru1720]

Hey, i use to work with Photoshop for about 3 decades and still learning...what an amazing Softwar.

[@anasdabbar]

[@pgtips4240]

You are the BEST I have ever seen teaching photoshop. So clear, so high quality and professional. I am learning so so much from your videos. Thank you so much for all your teaching.

[@iamritzel]

[@giaquarian1]

Sometimes I watch you just for your energy and smile! Thank you for years of smiles. Learn so much

[@Roldanni]

You are without a doubt the best instructor i have ever seen. Thank you for making your tutorials available for everybody. You are awesome.

[@danzon1999]

Amazing tutorials. In two weeks I have done a huge progress thanks to watching your videos. Thank you very much for this job :)

[@jennalogan5552]

This is going to really help me create much more unified photomanipulations. Thank you so much for this video! I can't wait to try these techniques out:)

[@lukozi01]

This is one of the best Ps tutorials I have ever watched. It is quite complex but very well explained and the final result is superb! Thank you, Unmesh!

[@bkblindside3884]

Ridiculously informative

[@sonia1145]

You are a great teacher!! Thank you for giving us all the necessary details and not leaving anything out!! :)

[@MishaVdovin]

"53 is great! Let's go with 35" )))))

[@davefleury2984]

I have to do that with saturation adjustments. I love super saturated colors so I find something I like and then take it back 20%

[@ajayvarma8499]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@sameensadman9899]

xDDDD

[@ggstylz]

🤣

[@Milind7000]

True...

[@MrGillettefusion]

*This Tutorial is everything*

[@JeffJolly1]

Unmesh, you are a genius :) I first used Photoshop about 22 years ago then got out of the kind of work where I needed to use it much. I watch a lot of your channel and I always learn something. I also love your presenting style... If you make a mistake while doing something you don't try to cover it up, just smile and as you say we are only human. Very refreshing! I wish you well and many many thanks for the videos you create. 👍

[@wewep6649]

Man I really love your Videos. I don't even use Photoshop (I use affinity photo) and can use your tutorials almost everytime 1:1. A big thank you for the great videos!

[@davd_ve]

Thought you were finished after 5 minutes but the rest of the video did make a (small but essential) difference. I could never be so accurate! Good job..

[@QuinthaIus04]

Didn't know there'd be a huge difference of using hue/saturation adjustment layer vs black/white adjustment vs solid color. Very informative. Thank you so much.

[@Peterbyte]

Your videos are straight up amazing man, love the production quality and the effort you put into them.

[@TheFreakiiLP]

This is like the best Photoshop Tutorial i have ever seen on KZbin.. great work!

[@PresencePhotography]

I love your tutorials so much! Your teaching is very thorough and makes working in Photoshop FUN! Thank you Unmesh :)

[@jeanluismachado7289]

I'm a big fan of yours, I don't really understand what you say because I'm Brazilian, but when I need some reference or help, your channel is the first one I come to see ... Congratulations on your work! (By Google Translation)

Perfect. Great tutorial. 👍

[@KunalSharma-tg1mp]

This video needs time to understand.. So download it and watch it again and again... Thank u for ur tutorial... awesome and so useful tutorial...

[@MrMoonpie001]

I know there were a lot of judgment changes in this video but I want to thank you for that. I never knew what a good photo was till I started on my path with PS. You have got an amazing eye and watching you work and your thought processes really helps in establishing how something should look. A big tip was to make the picture small and see how the adjustment looks over the whole picture. This alone shows a person if their editing comes off as looking fake or not. Many people over do the process to make everything in the picture look spectacular. A picture done this way just looks too confusing and crowded! Thank you again for all you do! Moonpie

[@brianholm1417]

This is great! I've been trying to figure this out for a while now. Thanks!!

[@agrelostudio]

Great video step by step ! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@agambhasin]

This truly helped me with my composites!!! Thanks Unmesh!!

[@midhunterx]

Now, *This* is what I call *PERFECTION!*

[@karencoffelt7682]

I never knew so much work went into something like this. If you are not an artist you'll never become really good at this. I'm an artist and I have doubts about my abilities to do this well. I'm not sure about my abilities to be able to pick out all those tiny details. Thank you, Unmesh, for this amazing tutorial.

[@ddddaaddaaaa]

i just learned photoshop from videos like this. keep uploading more of it!
