[@Geekatplay]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@WickBeavers]

Thanks for doing this. I'd suggest second (after 16bit space) , I'd work in Profoto Color space. It is Vastly larger than RGB98 and Billions of times larger than sRGB. And printers are coming along to handle this space in all its glory.

[@potatooman4087]

[@RobbieMcLean]

Very work and explanation. One question, at the 12:28 minute mark, how did you get the layer mask to go full size in the work space. THank you I can't find any information on how to do that!

[@Geekatplay]

To view a Layer mask, Option -click (Mac) / Alt -click (Win) on the mask thumbnail in the Layers panel.

[@RobbieMcLean]

@@Geekatplay Awesome, Thank you!

[@urbansadhuyoga]

Beautiful work and much less fussy than a lot of frequency separation etc.

[@Geekatplay]

thank you.

Love to do this, unfortunately PS has changed so much that it is hard to follow as a new edit person. Maybe you can do an updated version?

[@MassiveEditz]

Nice Tutorial ❤❤❤

[@Geekatplay]

Thank you

[@robinvasconcelosbrune9031]

Really amazing tutorial!! Chapeau!!! @Vladimir: what would really help to always find the right spot in the video is a short summary of the major steps like Majed HD provided them for your video just recently (below in the comments). Keep up the great work!

[@Geekatplay]

Thank you!

[@yrcharmphoto]

I liked your tutorial! Can you tell me how can I get oil paint filter in my Photoshop? It stays inactive even after my updates. I have 2020 version

[@Geekatplay]

Some filters will work only on 8-bit images. Check that.

[@yrcharmphoto]

@@Geekatplay I did try everything possible and it still grayed out, I just yeasterday found out that the reason might be my old version of video card which doesn't support Open CL, so it makes sense to update it... thank you for the answer)

[@Geekatplay]

try to change what render you using in preferences (hardware vs software).

[@carlosazevedo7748]

Vladimir thanks for this tutorial have learnt some new stuff. Just wanted to ask you why don't you use frequency separation to retouch the face, since it preserves tone and texture? Or even the patch tool?

[@Geekatplay]

Depend on the project. here is my videos about Frequency separations kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmHGqqmKi6hmY6s and kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYuQnGSAjpt9ldU

[@Geekatplay]

Here also playlist with multiple techniques kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHa8oWR-YqZrntk

[@carlosazevedo7748]

@@Geekatplay Thanks for the links. However, what would make you choose one instead of the other one you used in this tutorial. For example? Thanks.

[@ellatomblin3001]

What is your light set up?

[@Geekatplay]

i am making video and pdf book about that

[@natashabird1179]

Thank you for this excellent tutorial, I learnt so much. May I ask, is your background textured as when you dodged the background i noticed that it isn't a flat, solid colour and you haven't added a texture

[@Geekatplay]

I shot on painted backdrop on backdrop. It just does not have a lot of fallout lighting. When you increase luminosity on it (dodge and burn or with curves) it will light up and you can see texture of the backdrop then.

[@soniad3241]

Thank you for this well explained tutorial. I have always wanted to learn how to create this painterly effect. I have just stumbled across your channel. Would you use the same technique for women and children portraits?

[@Geekatplay]

It is all depend on what style you are going for. Most techniques will apply, however i may add some dreamy effect to this. Let me record different videos with some of that techniques. I will post video on channel shortly.

[@61republic]

Vladimir, tell me please, what color space do I need to work Adobe RGB or SRGB ?

[@Geekatplay]

Very many articles about what different between them. In short words, most monitors show in sRGB color range. However with new 4k HDR monitors, retna displays ...etc more and more work with wider color range. Personally, I work with Adobe RGB and 16bit color, when I process photos. When I save for web, than convert to sRGB, but keeping all my original work in highest resolution on color and size. Here is article that explane little bit more what different between Adobe RGB and sRGB fstoppers.com/pictures/adobergb-vs-srgb-3167
