I don't know why this precious and Masterpiece video is free of cost! Thanks a lot piximperfect!!!!!

[@craigsperring7865]

You explain everything so very well and thoroughly. You my friend are by far one of the best teachers on KZbin!. Thank you for making such amazing videos.

[@WRcolor]

This is one of the best Photoshop video! Thank you very much. One comments here: For the saturation check layers, I think just 2 layers are enough: a solid color with Hue blend mode to remove the hue difference, and a solid color with luminosity blend mode to remove the brightness difference. The color blend mode actually is include both Hue and saturation, which is not necessary for the saturation check layers.

Hey guys! There was a little problem with the action available for download. It has now been corrected and updated. Please delete the previous action and download the new one using the same link. Sorry for the inconvenience. Download link (Updated): drive.google.com/file/d/1ShufolwA4b6N6T1QXfb2qACzjNUq-reN/view?usp=sharing Best, Unmesh

[@DrUndies]

Thank you for this action and very informative tutorial.

[@ValicsLehel]

Can I suggest to add Threshold layer to your action? Can help to check easily the lights how it is coming into a composite.

[@acrensplain]

Download seems not to be possible now. Kind regards, Michael

[@ActorRahman]

[@amrithMilW]

surprised to see your comment here

[@mtpanchal]

21:58 I think this guy is Bob Ross with Photoshop.We love him.

[@griffalo1013]

These check layers are so great! I love compositing, but being red-green colour blind makes it challenging to match elements up sometimes. This made things so easy with such a brilliant outcome! Thank you Unmesh!

[@maiya71]

Thanks. You explain better than anyone. Although I watch your lessons through a translator. You're the best!!!🤩👍👍👍

[@jonseyjones321]

A more faithful Black and White representation for the Luminance Check Layer is using the Black and White effect with the settings: Red: 27 Yellow: 148 Green: -39 Cyan: 194 Blue: 11 Magenta: 138

[@Memo_P]

My friend, you are one of the best teacher i've ever seen!!! How is it possible to be so communitive and not even be present?!!! Amazing skills not only in photoshop!!! I deeply thank for all the knowledge and inspiration you share!!!

[@VectoRPulse]

Спасибо огромное, только хотел купить курсы а тут все что меня интересовало раскрыто в одном видео.Пишу по-русски потому что видео смотрю на английском, теперь мы в равных условиях)))

[@rinchan2702]

Must say you are one of the most enthusiastic mentor in the world, thank you so much on behalf of learners here.

[@racingheartentertainment1835]

Wow! Your saturation check is pure wizardry.

[@jimmaccormaic6689]

Every video I've watched so far on your channel has been impressive, but this one beats them all. The concepts here are amazingly instructive, and cover aspects I've never seen mentioned before. Sheer brilliance!

[@moonmothh]

Your videos are a blessing. You explain things SO in detail, I learn new things in every video of yours that I watch. I literally learned how to use Adobe After Affects from your vids. Can't thank you enough for this channel.

[@daveinsanityinanutshell3062]

[@supersu3396]

I never seen anything like you does in any channel. Your explanation is way too good 😍

[@starboy001]

Wao...such a dramatic and amazing change in studio style but the way of speaking....still the same but way soothing....the only channel i m watching video at less than normal speed

[@chris24hdez]

This is an excellent way to restore old scanned photos, whether in true color, stained aged sepia, stained aged color, unevenly hand-tinted color, or discovering why a photo just looks inexplicably "off" to you.

[@FifteenSecondsUnbox1401]

thank you to explain every thing, and thanks to share them for free, you teach much better than the ones who get money to learn us. thank you man

[@umarchanna]

Hey Unmesh! Love your tutorials, after watching them I've found my lost love for Photoshop and photography. Keep it up bro!

[@rostfomin]

This is awesome! The Solarize and Luminance Checks were awesome. The saturation ones didn't work for me at all. I see the pictures almost fully red, but the color picker tool shows that the colors in those areas are between 10 and 30% of saturation.

[@TsfAbr]

A lot of things to learn. Thank you so much! These are really great info.

Luminance, Saturation, and Hue Luminance is the amount of light Saturation how much color? Hue is what color? 1:20 Start Solar Curve Usage: makes every detail visible Helpful in exaggerating every little detail Details Recommended: Use the Spot Healing Brush tool and Healing Brush tool 7:25 Luminance Luminance is the amount of light being emitted without color. Usage: Dodge and Burn Retouching Recommended: use curve Adjustment Layer with a Luminance blending mood with brush flow 2%. 14:04 Saturation Saturation is the amount of color it shows you which areas are very much saturated which areas are less saturated and which areas have no color Usage: Matching Color or to be much colorful photo Recommended: use Vibrance Adjustment Layer play balance with Saturation & Vibrance up to the maximum that you can go. Noted: White is fully saturated Black is No Saturated. 21:37 Hue Check Layer Hue is what color? it is rout color or a pure color Usage: Color Correction Recommended: use Hue & Saturation, Vibrance, and level Adjustment Layer then play with Handel tool. 28:00 Quick Recap
