The "Gradient Formula" for Dramatic Black & Whites! - Photoshop Tutorial

[@crsone1]

“Remember we are creating art!” Great quote. Often times photographers get stuck on rules or trapped into possible critiques of over blown under exposed. Thanks for what you do, amazing.

[@PiXimperfect]

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more. We get so caught up in the technical aspects of it.

[@robotninjayt]

@@PiXimperfect hi Umesh please make a video on how to make white beard hair into black

[@ankanpurkait]

@@robotninjayt invert the image and mask out everything except the beard

[@elmono3939]

Well put

[@arlitharts]

To all those learning photoshop, I really recommend this channel because he always explain everything he does in all of his tutorials.

[@ZeroDean]

I've been using Photoshop since v2.5 and I always learn new things or approaches from this channel. Always recommended. 👌🏻

[@Titioplay]

And without futher ado he does teach

[@johnnyboy8147]

Been here since 2018, most of what I know is from his channel

[@drumarks6638]

You've done it again...this process is more involved than the one I currently use, but the results are dramatic. Back into my catalog and rework some photos. Thanks for all your hard work in putting these tutorials together.

[@Z-Diode]

Without any doubt you‘re one of the most skilled and constructive Photoshop gurus. 🙌

[@markham56]

Thanks!

PiXimperfect is a global treasure. this is a simple and effective tutorial. Love your friendly voice too.

[@WaterShowsProd]

I watched this video on Monday and filed it away in my mind for future reference. Today one of Thailand's greatest actors, Sorapong Chatree, died. It is tradition here to post photos of people who have died in black-and-white, so I used this technique to convert a photo I took with him during the only film we worked on together. The result was far better than how I would have done it before, by simply desaturating and adjusting the curves. I just wanted to thank you for this very timely tutorial.

[@carolyn9996]

You are the absolute best teacher of photoshop...clear, and easy. Thank you, Unmesh!

[@tomdupuis8466]

You have out done yourself on this one! Best black and white EVER!!!

[@queenwhite4831]

3:15 just blew my mind (after 15 years of Photoshop...). Thank you!!

[@monish05m]

yeah seriously, after 10 years of PS I just learned that black and white has other uses.

[@nabeelmehmood2021]

I recommended everyone to learn from this channel & Pinterest.

[@myticas]

PiXimperfect is high end! Why? 1st: His tutorials deliver high worthy content by every second. No frills, no blabla ... 2nd: Although he speaks faster and faster over the years his enunciation remained excellent and easy to understand. 3rd: Every tutorial is designed at a top didactical level. 4th: He combines all the before mentioned qualities to an outstanding overall performance thus underlining the main content statements in an acting way.

[@jasonlacey5979]

The fact that he speaks so fast has always kept me away from his excellent content.. great shame because as you say he delivers high worthy content. Guess he has enough subsribers to not care any more..

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

Excellent! You are a genius! God bless you my friend! 🏆

[@ThatSpadeGirl]

YES! Love this! So much quicker and realistic! Thank you! And that's a great shot of that person!

Ooooooh! I love this, Unmesh! I knew gradient maps had even more untapped power, but this is awesome!! :D I haven't done much photo editing/manipulation for a while, but I wanna try! Even with noisy images. ;)

[@jorgefiocchi]

Excelente!!! Muchas Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento. Me interesa el Blanco y Negro más dramático. Y con este video aprendí Mucho. Muchas Gracias! Saludos desde la Ciudad de Rosario, en Argentina! Giorgio.

[@stevew7779]

Brilliant!

[@jrbling25]

Love it! Speaking of Gradients..How about a short on what "Smoothness" actually means in the world of photoshop. When applying gradients, the smoothness option has the effect of changing the transition of Color 1 to color 2 in a way that seems 'non-linear'.. Can you explain what this is actually doing to the values of pixels?? Thank you!!

[@FunDumb]

It could simply be done a thousand other ways, but that's not why we're here. Results don't follow just one spectrum. Thanks for covering this.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I generally use channel mixer and curves for conversion, it allows me to control the way that this is applied. But, this looks cool.

[@baharam98]

Very helpful tips. Thank you. My B and W images look so much better using the methods in this video.

[@ahmadshalabi979]

Amazing thanks

[@cherylconnor2282]

[@marklutnes935]

Awesome! You've sharpened my focus in several areas with this video. Smart Sharpening a human being. For example, I've been guilty of being heavy-handed with the clarity slider...in both directions. Thank you Unmesh.
