Unmesh, you are truly a gem to this community; there are only a handful of Photoshop channels that are worth the time it takes to watch the video. Many of them can't relay the information properly, or don't explain the concepts behind a certain technique or effect clearly. As someone who found Photoshop intimidating when I started processing my own photos a couyple of years ago, finding and watching you explain many of these complex techniques and concepts in an easily understandable way opened up a whole new world for me. I've always loved being behind the camera, but now I enjoy making my photos even better and more spectacular-- thanks in large part to you demystifying it for me. I wish you many years of success, and I look forward to following you the entire way. Many blessings from California, USA 🙏🏽

Best interview I have seen in a very long time. Great questions and answers everyone will want to know about! Two great minds always giving their very best and making a positive impact around the globe. Thanks Unmesh Dinda and Scott Kelby!

[@RafaelTaleroFX]

According your question: 24:14 the DSLR cameras just are able to record until 29:59 secs it's due to they are called "Camera DSLR", if the time exceeds the 30 mins recording the camera isn't called DSLR it's called CAMCORDER... (it's according some photo/video regulations and marketing)

[@aaz148a]

The reason for the 30 minutes time limit on DSLR is the existing higher taxation on video recorders. Higher than 30 minutes, it would qualify your high-end dslr as a video recorder.

[@aaffariya]

Thank you so much miss

[@dannyrodriguez4176]

The Man himself. I bought a couple of books back in the days and it is so cool you got to hang out and interview such an awesome dude. He's a living legend indeed.

[@gsnevius812]

So much fun to watch! This is the first video of Mr. Kelby that I have seen and now I'll seek out more! Great job, Unmesh!

[@MrMoonpie001]

I have been watching Umesh from the beginning, and it is like a dream come true seeing you interview Scott Kelby whom you give much credit for your success!!! We call this "The American Dream" and you are living it as it daily comes true for you! Thank you for your commitment, hard work and giving it your all to be the best at what you do! It is much appreciated!!! Moonpie

Really you both are LEGENDS , Thanq Unmesh .

[@Caryson122]

Unmesh thanks for this ! You are a great interviewer. Your questions really invoked interesting answers! Hope to see more like this in the future!!

[@thomaskoidhis7000]

I recently discovered your videos and loved them for pretty much the same reasons Scott mentioned in this video. One of Scott's books was my first education in photography. Was really amazing to stumble across a video with you two together. A true legend!

[@leofaulhaber5641]

Two wonderful teachers.

[@KBee795]

Scott is great, I've bought many of his books in the effort to keep up with changing software in the printing industry. Now it's keeping up with the photographic industry! You can never know enough in today's world, thank you two for making learning fun.

[@somefroggyhere]

Goodness, this man is a legend. His books helped me tremendously when I just started learning Photoshop, and I can't thank him enough. Got his books on digital photography too. One of the best teachers ever!

[@rpmfoto]

This was fantastic. The legend of legends AND Scott Kelby. Please follow up with more info about Adobe regarding AI and machine learning.

This video is positive, inspirational and PERFECT.

Thanks for this interviewing video. Looking forward to your future videos. Thank you!!!

What a lovely enterview! Unmesh , dear, u had become a great inspiration to me, not only as a teacher but as a person as well. Keep going! Sending love from Brazil and thank you soo much for the great, great videos u share with us

[@ang_matos]

Wow. Two legends of legends. Very nice interview👏👏👏🤣

[@mcva]

I love this video. It's great to see two stars in front of the camera and sit down for an interesting chat. Btw, the 30-minute-limit is a money-wise decision. Under 30 minutes recording video, the device is not classified as 'video recorder.' On video recorders, a 5-12% customs duty applies.

[@ArtUr-Foto]

Hi guys, I spent so many hours of my life with both of you. Scott's great books & your amazing tubes. Congratulations ! Thank you. I learned so much ...

[@BURTBROWN]

WOW!!! Great interview and very revealing about Scott - First I never realized his great humor and second didn't know about his band and guitar collection... Very similar things with me!!!! Thanks Unmesh!!!!!!!

[@davidlittle2364]

Great interview. Interesting, thoughtful questions, & perhaps what I liked best was that you did not interrupt Scott or try to re-explain what he just said... Kept it moving. Great style, all the best!!!

Lucky you with Scott Kelby .. great interview

I'm looking forward to take an interview of legend of the legend one day and Of course Scott Kelby if i'm lucky

[@PhilipKingLondon]

One big advantage of Bridge over Lightroom is that (on Mac at least) it doesn't change the file creation date, only the modification date. Lightroom, on the other hand, does not restore the original file creation date when files are modified. This behaviour is inconsistent between the two apps, and stops me using Lightroom.

[@avpjon]

Great interview and great fun! Thank you both!

[@UKMike2009]

Two charming and super-talented guys. Great interview

[@beeldbarista]

In your last question you ask why there is a limit for the 29m59s on DSLR/MILC cameras. The reason is indeed a tax thing for Europe. It differentiates videocameras from 'still' cameras. If your still camera would make longer takes then 29m59s it would be considered as a videocamera and taking it to a higher import tax level. Basically it would make still cameras that can do video a lot more expensive. I know it is a stupid reason, but truly the sole reason for this video limit on 'still' cameras that can do video.

[@jinajustine]

Loved This👌🏼

[@norbikollo1691]

Please make more videos like this , really good !😊😃☺

[@aniketsk]

Amazing interview!!!!!!!! no watermarks from now! !!!!

[@mikeygoda]

It feels good to hear such a professional express disdain for BRIDGE! I always wondered if I was missing something from not using it. It IS super slow!! I assumed Lightroom Cloud was the more advanced version. I was wrong! Classic = Pro Also, interesting to hear about Photoshop's use in the movie industry.

[@aandrep007]

Proud of you Unmesh!

[@LyndonPatrickSmith]

Congrats on interviewing Scott Kelby. He is an amazing guy and I have learned a lot from his books. You have - in my opinion - the best Photoshop channel on KZbin. And Unlike Kelby One (which is amazing), your channel is free for all to learn. Please keep your content free/Patreon funded.

[@proloybala2258]

I like you, man...You are really so smart.......unlike others gets nervous in a conversation or interview...

[@prakashwadhwani]

AwesomEEE ... Lovely informal tête-à-tête. Makes me swell with pride seeing both of you together :)

[@texastrees]

Would have loved to hear more about branding an image. Great interview!

[@manabeshchakravarty3244]

You make us proud. Bravo.

[@BobbyDotNet]

I agree about large watermarks ruining images. I usually include a small watermark in an area that doesn't stand out. Not only does it say who I am, I include the Creative Commons license terms indicating how the image is allowed to be used by others.

[@abinashpathak4814]

Awesome.........and the audio is awesome

[@MikeEdwardsphotography]

This was so great! Scott has taught me so much!

[@dunnymonster]

Brilliant interview, Scott's such a down to earth likable guy! 😉

[@I_am_ARTBOT]

I'll add a feature request (which is one of your questions to him): Make the radial blur zoom preview the image so you can set the centerpoint! How have they ignored this all these decades?

[@ravianand7735]

I was wondering for videos like this

[@nmelcam1]

LOL jumped the gun, Scott just explained the difference of Branding vs Watermarking making my question unnecessary LOL I'll leave the question in here though for reference :-) Watermarking vs Logo presence? I add my company logo in a non distracting area that does not ruin the photo. It can be easily cropped out or cloned out, but I do it because a few customers I send images upload them to Facebook or Instagram without adding credit and nobody knows who the photographer was, and I am not going to obligate them to do so, after all they are not a business using your photos. I do give them a DVD with high res images with printing license but I also include a folder named "Facebook Size" in the DVD with re-sampled versions with my logo for easy Social Media sharing and that way when they publish these photos even if they forget to give me credit, the photo itself will do so :-) Another question, why is it such an issue to add logos to photos, but not to videos? I have not seen a Adorama, B&H, Chopstick Guys, Tony & Chelea, Fstoppers, Jared Polin, Joe Edelman, , KelbyOne or PiXimperfect video without respective logos even though the actual Owner / Spokesperson is in the video making it obvious that the video pertains to that person / company? At least in a photo the image is usually of a person / place other than the actual photographer, and even though some claim that the photographers images reflect the work of the person that shot them, if you do a Google Image search of e.g. wedding photo, you are likely to guess less than 1% of the time the photographer that actually took the photo unless you view the description or guess what....see their logo LOL :-) BTW love you both and I have learned so much from Scott and Unmesh and obviously from all others mentioned here, even from the Nikon Guy Matt and Sony Gus Jason LOL

[@EmmanuelAyroso]

I would've love sir unmesh if someday you could also have a book of your tutorials... I gotta keep it for long...😊😊😊

Great interview-watch Scott Kelby 5/6 years ago..but their is only ONE Unmesh!

[@ArashBeheshti]

Thank you! really enjoyed it.

[@oriomenoni7651]

With Lightroom you need to import *every* folder that you want to browse. This is *insane*. You can not replace Bridge with Lightroom, simply because of that.

[@milotgarcia0426]

I'm incredibly proud if you! Let's all keep creating!

[@NiazMahmood1977]

[@imrulkayes4623]

i never skip your video. but i am very impatient person. I can't watch a 10 min video without skip. Thank you so much for your effort.

Wow! Thank you very much! You two are amazing! Two Legends! :)

[@JackieSmalls]

Love me some Kelby. Bert Monroy I think is the guy who really got me into Photoshop, especially the hybrid approach of using Photoshop and Illustrator together. I also agree Bridge sucks. I really wish they would update it though, as it's a god way to audition stock clips to pull into video projects, which I primarily do.

[@supergolfdude]

My two favorite Photoshop guys! You guys should think about a partnership on something. If you could translate your videos to books using Scott’s writing style, you could do really well, Unmesh.

[@Madhubhatta]

You are great bro. Really like all your videos. thank you so much.

[@bubblevest1544]

Without any further ado.......your side profile!

[@Ozibits]

what mic are you using looks and sounds amazing

[@TheWarren5000]

Excellent interview!

[@skakdosmer]

For an interview like this you might want to use a “real” video camera which is not limited to 30 minutes. Just a little inexpensive Sony Handicam will do nicely. The 30 minute limit has no technological explanation at all! It only has to do with EU tax legislation. If a camera can do more that 29:59 in one gulp, it will be taxed as a video camera. So to avoid that tax, camera manufacturers of DSLRs have built in this limit. There is also a file size limit: A camera is also taxed as a video camera if it can produce video files larger than 4gb - which is more like the 12 minutes you mentioned (depending on the resolution and the compression, of course). But the manufacturers have found a workaround: the cameras now keep recording past the 4gb, and at the end they just chop longer videos into 4gb chunks that you can easily merge in post. I live in the EU, and do I agree with these taxes? NO!

[@benellias87]

30minute limit is actually a tax thing... it defines photograph cameras from video cameras.. and they are taxed differently in many countries

[@mdturnerinoz]

This was awesome! Thanks! BTW I TOTALLY agree on watermarks: almost ALL are UGLY!

[@tmrphotography6062]

Spectacular Interview ji..
