SPEED RETOUCH: Grunge Effect (Not a Tutorial).mov

Photoshop Tutorial set to music showing an 8 step process to create a grunge style effect on a photograph; in this particular case a Rough Sleeper.
For a 'walk through' of this tutorial where every step is explained head on over to my blog at the following link:

[@mehnazmuhit1745]

I don't see what's the issue here, if you think the video is too fast and too loud, mute the sound and change the speed to the slowest, or if you really want to learn the steps, download the whole video (takes few minutes only) and slow it down on VLC! I don't think any of you would be here if you are not already use to using Photoshop. Or just go to his homepage, (link's given), everything is thoroughly explained! Give the guy a break, I was able to follow all the steps here! Thank you for making it so easy, Glyn.

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Meh Naz

[@FilmStudentHorror]

Glyn Dewis lol that was awesome.

[@amanbin]

Glyn i am a noob in this do you capture the photos in flat desaturated mode so you can color correct it better? Thanks for the video

[@hairartist63]

Good lord folks it's just a run through video. The guy is giving away tons of amazing info for FREE. If you don't like the music hit the mute button. If it's a bit fast hit pause and take a few notes. What has happened to common sense and class in this day and age? Thanx Glyn Dewis

[@lintons567]

Very true Elaine, I did just that, paused and made notes. The only (minor) problem I had was that the video didn't go sharp, so it was a bit of a guess at first. Maybe that was down to me and my PC, not anything to do with the video. However, I did one of my own, and I just love the outcome! A great tutorial. Keep it up Glyn.

[@FilmStudentHorror]

I followed this and understood it quite easily. He didnt say it was a photoshop/lightroom tutorial. Understand the basics and this is quite simple to follow.

[@glyndewis]

Nice one Rob Jenkins

[@DadeCountyTurk]

I agree, I was able to follow this quite normal but then re-did the steps to achieve another look that I actually wanted. But overall it was quite fast and self explanatory. Thanks for the upload.

[@annier6835]

I liked the way this is presented! Have your finger on the pause button the first couple of times, taking notes at each stage. Run through it a couple of times afterwards, stopping when you need to. If you can play it through unstopped and understand each stage after putting in the effort, well, you've learned something valuable! Put the work in - tutorials can't be a one-watch, magic bullet.

[@punkerboy937]

Hey, to everyone saying this video is too fast. This isn't a beginners lesson this is an advanced class for people with more experience and knowledge in Photoshop to be able to get straight down to the point without useless time consuming steps.

[@YvesGeorgeSanchez]

I love this tutorial! Eventhough you didn't talk, you put it into writing. Some tutorials did it in fast motion but didn't even have written steps in it. Thank you so much!

[@DavittFinol]

Had to watch the video twice. The first time was all about that sweet, sweet banjo music.

[@TheImageaddict]

Thank you for a brilliant overview of what can be done and for taking the time to give a step by step detailed guide to go with this. Shame that not everyone appreciates all the work.

[@chrissekely]

Why all the pointless hate here? This was a cool video (with an appropriate soundtrack). It's meant for entertainment. If you don't like it, simply move on. A number of you in the comment section here need to grow up. Glyn here is a skilled artist taking his time to share his art with us. Stop acting so entitled. He isn't somehow obligated to spoon feed you every step of the process. Maybe try doing some work and actually figuring some stuff out for yourselves.

[@randys42]

Normally I hate music during tutorials but this was great! Great effect! It was very clearly demonstrated, The result gives the photo so much more character. It really is very, very well done.

[@kdrapercsolutions]

Glyn post so much great content that I find it amazing that so many people are hating this. Few people are so willing to share their talent the way Glyn does. Check out his channel and you will find hours of useful tips, trick and tutorials on PS and LR that you're unlikely to find anywhere else, all for free.

[@beverlyhaney9816]

You are extremely talented. What an amazing transformation of a blah photo. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

[@glyndewis]

Hiya. I'm using Nik Silver Efex Pro for doing the greyscale conversions and then reducing the opacity of the layer once it's back in Photoshop.

[@sebastian_trzaska]

@GlynDewis Finally a tutorial that doesn't drag itself out! Very good!

[@AmberGabbi23]

Even after the complaints of how fast it goes with I completely agree with-I need to be able to see what tools you are using. Don't forget new people to Photoshop are watching this. Meaning we are not squared away on layers, tools, etc. I recommend you fix those things in future videos.

[@adamotten7061]

I am new to photoshop, lightroom and photography for that matter. I saw one of you more recent videos where you actually explain what your doing and that helps so much more. I really enjoyed this and the others Thank You for helping out this newbie

[@custos00]

this is an awesome tutorial! right to the point, so many tutorial videos take so long to watch you loose track of what your trying to do. fantastic!

[@djpuppy28]

Thanks for this. I have been wanting to try it for awhile. It sure feels nice actually responding kindly for once!

[@DNVlogsLife]

I absolutely love videos like this.. I don’t have Photoshop but I have heard so much about it.

[@willchase5760]

Luv'd the Music with it. Glenn is a simplification of Ps Master. Thanks for Posting this. Now I am off to go take a photo of my Dad (HandleBar Mustache) & do something crazy & fast. Thank you!

[@BrianDukes]

Oh my Glyn, entertaining to see how your KZbin style has developed :) love it!!

[@MrQwerty2524]

This is a great tutorial for people who already have experience with photoshop. I needed quick guidance and you gave it. But it might be helpful to put advanced in the tutorial name. (The difficulty is not really advanced but your speed is)

[@DK-ve6jw]

I rarely dislike videos on youtube. Awful music, and went blazing fast without explaining anything. It was impossible to follow along.

[@DarkDragon187II]

I hardly dislike anyone's comment but when I do...It's usually because they don't know how to use the mute button or don't know it exists, or they don't know how to show more in the description on the bottom of the video or don't know how to read. To make it even worse...given the first two are pretty simple and cant comprehend that I doubt after you find the instructions you'd be able to follow them.

[@charruaporelmundo]

I ‘m spanish speaker, but Not a tutorial is pretty understandable 🤔

[@medoz999]

And you expect us to pause and replay every second to watch your techniques? Overall, amazing result! (Y)

[@TheMowana]

great job! that was helpful. anyone with the slightest knowledge in photos hope can repeat what you did.

[@PaulDineen]

I see that there are workarounds to the problems with how this video is presented, but why present it that way if there's a genuine desire to instruct and help? Makes me think that there's either just a genuine desire to impress, or the creator is being paid by someone for the number of mouse clicks per unit of time (kidding). There are plenty of other people on youtube who know the material and can communicate it in a viewer-friendly way. So, there's no good reason to watch this one over others. I hope Mr. Dewis' other videos do not have this unnecessary barrier (I'll do some looking now) and that future ones will all be presented so that his apparent expertise can benefit more people.

[@glyndewis]

Paul Dineen Seriously? Seriously? You haven't a clue who I am yet you make assumptions based on one video out of many. Thanks but just so you know I'll resist posting my own assumptions as like yours it would be neither helpful or worth the time.

[@PaulDineen]

I apologize for my rude comments.

[@michaelmaersch]

Glyn Dewis I think the whole shebang is GREAT, Glyn. For once, instead of listening to someone ramble-on extemporaneously about 'how to' do this or that you quickly git to the gist of your method here. Having taken plenty of folks "by the hand" in order to help them understand how PS, LR and related plugins work (individually and amongst each other) - only occasionally seeing "the light go on" - I keep asking myself "Why?! Why bother...". Suggestion: Glyn does something here, CLICK 'Pause'. Think about it for a moment. Click 'Play'... and on and on. A great method for teaching Intermediate/Advanced PS users to employ a particular look in their work. Love it. (And the music - though I'm not all that into banjo...) Cheers.

[@glyndewis]

Michael Maersch You sir a Legend! Thanks :)

[@edspec2000]

You have a problem with bluegrass??

[@gauravmoorjani8589]

I love the end result of this picture...was searching for something like this... kudos man... XD... I'm hooked onto ur channel....

[@RizandroNapone]

Pretty awesome. No fuss techniques. Even a noob like me can learn tons from this.

[@xophotoable]

thanks alot Glyn, I got alot from tutorial, You and Serge are dynamite and I have subscribed to you both, so glad I selected your video I look forward to learning from both of you, thanks again

[@coco200066]

I love this tutorial, seen it before but always good to watch again.

[@Sallybunckle]

I love this and have been looking for something like this for ages. Thanks so much.

[@supladz]

thanks man, that was exactly what i did.. i accidentally pressed ctrl i and then tried to change the levels and it worked perfectly.. :)

[@yakichan246]

Finally! A short tutorial!! Well done!

[@wildbill4680]

Would love to see you remake this video in 2022 with the same original file but current version of PS

[@glyndewis]

I'll have to see if I can find the file OR maybe take another similar shot 👍

[@wildbill4680]

@@glyndewis the presenter of “Tin House Studio” looks like a younger version of your first model. It’s uncanny 👌

[@idreamtofflight]

For those saying it's too fast, there's this nifty feature here on youtube called the pause button, you should try it out! You can even rewind a part to see it again! Crazy, I know.

[@AnatoleK]

Pity not all the videos on youtube are like this! Very good! And, also, first time I don't have to mute the music! =D

[@zcout86]

Great speed-tutorial, great tips on how to ad a little more excitement to the photos. if u think this is to fast, get better at PS!

[@Voodoorai]

Watch this video with one hand on your space bar to pause it and the other hand to right it down...and be aware that the 4th step to reduce grayscale is an actual filter from Nik Silver Efex. It doesn't come with CS6. It's separate. The music kinda warns ya it's not going to be slow moving...gives ya somewhere to start then you gotta figure it out yourself.

[@luissoco]

I also loved the music, happy tutorial is happy

[@adnelpr]

Great Effect, but too fast to catch up, needs to zoom in a bit to see what you are selecting!! Not instructive at all!!

[@idreamtofflight]

Yeah using Silver Efex Pro for the desaturated layer really makes a huge difference, normal greyscale layer will not do the same thing.

[@quezzer1]

great step by step tutorial easy to follow!

[@glyndewis]

@Tortuga699 Hiya. FYI there's a step by step walk through if this technique/video on my blog; just type Grunge in the search field. Hope that helps :)

[@TokyoZeplin]

I couldn't quite tell either, though I suppose if I cared enough, I could have a proper look and try to pause the video and see if I could make it out. It's the one he's using when converting to greyscale. That's the only issue with the video really, everything is straight forward if you know Photoshop.

[@90hijacked]

now this is how you use photoshop! respect. :)

[@gphotographyau1]

not too fast at all, straight to the point, just the way i like it, I hate watching paint dry

[@gutlessband5825]

Awesome vid. Really like this sort of stuff. Would love to see more. Keep it up.

[@RootOfInfinity]

THAT WAS SUPER HELPFUL! THANK YOU!

[@TheRaven0us]

Wow, amazing tutorial. BTW I liked the music :D

[@shawncampbell4713]

LOVED THE MUSIC!!

[@sharonjohnston8590]

its going to take effort and work tofigure out and recreate what was done in the video ! But thats how you learn and being handed it on a plate for free ,,,,,, i doubt Glynn had that ! Thanks again for a great video i shall enjoy figuring out how you done it ! an d will look through your other videos for further clues and the lovely pause button you tube so kindly supply !!!

[@SteveZussou]

nice work, and straight to the point.

[@zvxcvxcz]

For all the people being unappreciative on here, the problem isn't the video or how fast he was going, it's just that your existing knowledge of image editing software seems to be lacking, so you should start with a more basic tutorial. University classes don't rehash elementary school, if they did they wouldn't have time to get to the important stuff. Also, those of you saying he's showing off, this is still much too basic to be showing off. Notice how it's 8 SIMPLE steps, they really are.

[@axiverse01]

read the description, this video is intended for people who already have a relatively clear understanding of how to use photoshop, so nothing really has to be explained :/ He made a video where he goes through each steps clearly

[@mercebenz7095]

Very good, wanna see more of this here!

[@EddieGuiry]

I think that you're spending too much time on the negatives. Sometimes negative comment can help improve you, when that's the case take it into account, otherwise don't bother with it. You put a lot of effort and time into passing on useful information to us, if someone doesn't appreciate it, that's their problem, not yours. Thanks for uploading, I learned from it and found it helpful.

[@funk543]

The banjo was a nice touch.

[@TheGoddessCaroline]

Pearl Jam never looked so good. Great tutorial but I will now have to study the other tutorials and then try to keep up while reading very small font. Can you do a step by step because for me that wasn't simple. Keep up the good work and humour, I can hardly wait until you do one on Black Metal. :)

[@glyndewis]

@andrepaulphotography Nice one; thanks for the comment :)

[@LTChurchillphotography]

Glyn Have you thought about a redo with more up to date camera and tech to see what differences you would make ?

[@JoanLocubichephotographer]

Funny and different videotutorial.About NIK...I guess that most of the people who watch your videos have already installed NIK,Topaz,Knoll light,..etc. Certain level required. Nice video,Glyn.

[@Mava007]

Best music I ever heard! and btw turn the video faster pls.

[@albyminus95]

I really liked this video!!! thank you!

[@glyndewis]

Thanks for that and good to hear the music went down well...kind of :)

[@zj9griffin]

Thank you so much I've been wondering how to bring out sharpness in my images (excellent video)

[@gamingwithconnor123]

this video was surprisingly useful

[@DeniseHoukMedia]

Any tutorial that starts off with blue grass is going to be good! lol Thanks!

[@blaziustheblaze9935]

First thing I did was mute the horrible music.

[@rengamz]

awesome ... exactly what i looking for. thanks!

[@Trevoc2]

talked us through it and S L O W E R so that we can comprehend it better. I guess as long as the person making the video knows what they are doing it doesn't matter if others understand it.

[@FunNaturePhotography]

Very cool! Well done tutorial.

[@DonnavanderMerwe]

Hi Glyn Dewis . Great tutorial, just a bit quick and it was hard to keep track of the cursor darting around. Anyway, I will definitely give it a go and see if my end result is as successful as yours. Thanks again. I have subscribed and look forward to more helpful videos. ;)

[@maratgetmanchuk]

You enter the "quickmask" - button at the very bottom of "tools" toolbar, exit when done to get selection.

[@williamceliu3065]

Unable to follow step 4. Unable to identify the filter in the video. Unable to find it in Photoshop CC.

[@maratmasry]

Well done! Exactly what I was looking for but that was messed up how you used Nik Efex software though, not everyone has that.

[@glyndewis]

@TheInvisibleTR Hiya. It's caled 'Peach Cobbler' and is built into iMovie :) Cheers

[@FinlandApollo]

Well said. You're a photographer who makes living with photographing and editing. If you share everything you know and every way you do, people will start copy your work and well... the worst thing that could happen is that you don't make enough money to live as a photographer.

[@Teamshmo]

Looks sick but man I'll have to download this and play in super slow motion to be able to follow

[@vbb04]

Great video! I just want to ask: How can I mark out the eye with the brush? Please explain me. Please. It's a really big help. Thank you.

[@phobia79]

Awesome... great work!

[@TheAngnic21]

Amazing. Very nice work :)

[@Veauteaux]

Agree, nice tutorial, and the music made me laugh (in a good way lol)

[@AprilDoner]

i agree--great effects and skills you're teaching, but it went too fast for me and I couldn't see which tools you were using--talking thru or written notes would help! Thanks

[@martincregg]

Still a classic!

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Martin. Really must do a newer version though huh 😉

[@SARAHTAHSEEN]

very helpful, I will try this!!

[@KezzaDesign]

it was a good speed because i normally pause to do the effect so i dont miss anything.. 1 question though.. whats that tool you used to select the eyes?

[@D4017]

holy fuck, this is the type i should be leaning in my photography classes

[@VascoElbrecht]

really cool look = ) well done!

[@LaTabernadelBalrog]

Just Amazing....

[@sega62s]

great, if people don't get it, if tis too fast, learn photoshop just like we did, step by step, and after you will see he is using the right speed!

[@natewilliams8906]

Yeah a little more explanation on the individual filters/overlays would be very helpful.

[@ckat609]

Niiiiice.... what's the thing you used for reduced gray?

[@amanbin]

Glyn i am a noob in this do you capture the photos in flat desaturated mode so you can color correct it better? Thanks for the video

[@Essjayn]

Love this! Going to give it a try :) what song is this?

[@ashrafkotbofficial]

Great one Glyn :)

[@HuFilms]

Hmmmmm... I think you need to do a special dedicated tutorial for step 4.

[@yeskatmoon]

Russel, I thought the same thing too. lol But he gives us step by step process in the link above :)

[@ArcanePath360]

Nice. Not too fast. People just need to learn how to pause. If they don't understand how it works, then they need to research it.

[@cosacosi1]

I'm sorry for my ignorance... but this is considered and an HDR photo too?

[@AlexandraAttics222]

I couldn't take this seriously. The music was to great.
