This makes me realize how far we’ve come in background removal techniques 😱

[@mdmjeremiah]

Wow, I just completed my version while following along (pausing every 3 seconds) and mine actually came out decent. Great tutorial!

[@antwango]

every 3 seconds?!! this video mustve lasted an hour for you

[@DylanMArtist]

lol I did the same!!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

You have done this really great that’s cool I would like to try to do a pinup more vintage background, but you already have the photo shop and you have a tablet with a pen tool?

[@MemesApart]

I'll probably never do this, but I enjoyed watching you do it

[@VintagePosterArts]

Those vintage posters are such a mood! 😍 The retro fonts and funky designs really jazz up any space! @VintagePosterArts #retrodecor Loving this vintage poster art! The colors and illustrations are so bold and fun - really captures the retro vibe! 🎨 @VintagePosterArts #popartstyle

[@boombaby1769]

As I always say: photoshopping is the same as painting, only with filters. Great job!

[@yvettewallus119]

I have searched and searched for how to make this painted effect and low and behold you had exactly what I was looking for. It was the same case for the Narnia postcard you did. Man, I’m so glad I found you. You’re getting me a raise!

[@beretgascon]

It's funny. I've just come back to PS from a hiatus of about 20 years. We didn't have thousands of KZbin tutorials in those days and even if we did, we didn't have the bandwidth to watch them! 🤣🤣🤣 But what's become incredibly apparent in the short time I've been back with PS is that very little has changed, I mean in the basics. I remember when we had to create a drop shadow manually, in the days when NSCA Mosaic ruled the roost. Great to see how many things have developed and how some things haven't and have stood the test of time. Like talent. Thanks for an entertaining and inspiring video!

5:12 "Enter values of 30 pixels and a threshold of 2" as he enters a threshold of 10.

[@jimkearns534]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I liked how you explained what some of the various layers done in terms of effect on the images instead of just saying "do this" without explanation. It is much appreciated.

[@SIMpossible423]

This was great, dude. Made a poster of myself in about 30 minutes. Well done.

[@djq7225]

Instead of using the pen tool to cut out what I do, is I just use 'quick select' or 'magic wand' to select the white and expand the selection by through for pixels. It's a lot quicker in my opinion and works pretty much the same.

[@cross-eye1374]

You actually just saved my media a level coursework I love you so much

[@Punisher1123]

I discovered a love for photoshop during the pandemic, and the more I play around, the more I love creating things. I learned so many cool tricks from this tutorial! Thanks for putting this into the universe!

[@cuisineandtalk1336]

Thank you for your tutorial. You should write your explanation so foreign people could follow easily your instructions. 🌻🌻🌻

[@Kinkoyaburi]

Great video, now I just have to somehow remember these steps so I can do this on the fly on my own. On a side note, the quality of the photograph matters a lot.

[@andyatmosphere]

Damn! Master class!

[@deniseteague9854]

WoW! this is exactly what I needed! I am working on my logo for a spice seasoning business and I wanted to create the Elvgrin images, this is so very much right on! Thank you so much for creating this video!

[@TRAVELtribes]

Thanks a tons SPOON GRAPHICS! My pinup poster is just looking awesome

[@pancakeninja88]

Super dope. I've been trying to replicate this effect for a while now. Thanks!

[@MrKyleDoubleYou]

Me too. Pretty pumped right now.

[@spoongraphics]

Thanks Matt, I'm hope you find it useful!

[@JazlynSimon]

Wow! This is fabulous. Great tutorial with lots of tricks and ideas that are ideal not just for photographers but for graphic designers as well.

[@TheStupendousMusicMan]

Hey, just to say thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for your amazing tutorials and the wonderful freebies in your website!

[@saphirarose5866]

this helped me with my school project, thank you!

[@fl2620]

Thank you very much. I salute you, Wei

[@DustinMeyerPhotography]

Awesome tutorial and overall result! There's a lot of steps, but the finished image is worth it :)

[@shalabazertheboltstruck8645]

Oh man where have you been all this time... brilliant, thanks so much!!!

[@00Skyfox]

And now, to figure out how to do everything you just did, but in Gimp!

[@shootemupportraits4008]

I used to love gimp but got the adobe photoshop for $10 per month and so worth it. Worked in Gimp for probably 7 or 8 years minimum and have learned more and had more fun this last year with photoshop. (y)

[@oldi184]

@Shoot Em Up Portraits I use both. I have Gimp legally because its free and I pirated photoshop 9 so it cost me zero dollars. Recently I use more Gimp because its smaller and starts faster.

[@oldi184]

Noah Ok but why the hate? Are you stupid or just hater? Maybe both who knows. How you can hate a software that is made by the people who use their skill and knowledge and is given totally for free, free and with source code. Your opinion sucks man. Bye.

[@dominicbeaudoin2762]

I tried Gimp a few times, I really tried to like it. I think I was spoiled by having used Photoshop beforehand. I have been using Krita for the last few years, which I enjoyed a lot more than Gimp. But now I upgraded my computer so I started using Photoshop again. NIGHT AND DAY. So much better, even with all the bloat.

[@00Skyfox]

Gimp has always worked perfectly fine for me. It just takes a little time to learn the layout and correct usage of its functions, just the same as any other piece of graphics editing software.

[@testpilot1ful]

Awesome tutorial !!! Thanks.

[@gilasharp7275]

With this lesson, it's not even difficult to repeat it

[@CarlManson1983]

Nice effect! Your destructive deep etching at the start of the video made me nervous, but the end result was worth it.

[@bnbbusstop9195]

great help. Your tutorial style is superb. Step by step clarity. Thanks so much. I learned a ton of "new" tricks

[@charlievalher327]

Best tutorial so far, it looks GREAT👌👌

[@louminati4318]

I'm learning Photoshop and have been surfing all tutorials here on KZbin. May I say, this channel is great and explains complexed tasks for beginners slowly, compared to our friends in America who race through things like they are on something. I was wondering while I am here, which is unrelated to this tutorial why when rotating text in a circle the letters are never aligned properly. Adjusting the text using the black cursors always make the text uneven. This has been driving me mad for a week. Thanks

[@MarcHillM]

Great vid, Straight to the point, no mucking about and very professional detailing. Thank you.

[@avianc6870]

ive been searching for this painterly vintage effects for MONTHS!!!!!!!! thankyou so much!!!

[@markj5722]

I think this effect is very good; one of the best I've seen. However, the steps go by quickly, making it a little hard to follow. It would help this and similar videos if there were also a step-by-step set of instructions with illustrations. This way the video would give the overview but the instruction set could be easily followed by the student without having to constantly back up the video for things he didn't understand on the first pass.

[@naumatt]

This was more than what I hoped to find. Just amazing tutorial. Thank you!

[@naumatt]

I guess, that said, I really have no earthly idea what you did or why with the layer mask and hair at the beginning. Layer masks have always fried my brain, and I didn't see any difference between your first cutout or the second, end result.

[@claireevans2336]

WOW, fab to watch, a little quick for my old brain but so interesting, thanks for sharing

[@sigitmarcopolo8004]

wow i love retro. finally found this tutor.. thank bud

[@patomaban5753]

I am definitely doing this

[@sclmb]

Can't wait to try this, great job.

[@marcromanbravo]

That's the best I've seen of this type. Thank you so much!

[@JDAre-tb5jf]

Gracias. Me sirvió muchísimo este tutorial. Saludos desde Colombia.

[@jamesjacob2896]

Spoon Graphic thanks a lot for the video!

[@parhammanian]

It's best tutorial I've ever seen! Thanks!

[@marcushartley3650]

[@eldonchino]

Thats a new way to play with oil paint effect! This is inspiring!

[@derrickrose3370]

[@carlosneto9450]

I'm preparing a Call of Cthulhu adventure, and I was thinking about making a poster in this style! Thanks for the great tutorial!

[@ALMStudios]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

[@rockincarbonara]

[@lahuis75]

Dude!! this is an awesome tutorial here! not for beginners i would say but damn, the result is awesome! thank you!

[@Sergio-pf3fh]

Thanks!

[@vladimirgrant4833]

Great job! It was a bit strange to see that old fashioned methods of masking :) In any way the result is exellent! Thank you for interesting ideas!

[@sandgaijin]

I thought so too. Faster ways to achieve that, but the finesse after that was really informative.

[@trajectory7235]

Thank you! Very helpful instructions, and easy to follow!

[@CynicalWilson]

Man.. I really tried to follow this step by step.. but it'd be great if you could it slow down just a bit. It's almost as if you'd like to show off what awesome stuff you can do when you know wtf you are doing.. but don't want anybody to replicate your "magic" :-(... never had to pause the video as much as in this one, but I still learned a lot. Thanks man.

[@diore619]

thank you so much
