I love the fact that you do a quick recap at the end! Your tutorials are consistently excellent.

[@LittleMage1]

Thank you for the recap at the end, it is really appreciated! 😊 Great video, as usual ❤️

[@ClarkeAndrewMusic]

I literally had Photoshop open on my other monitor cleaning backdrops when this video popped up in my feed! You've saved me again ❤

[@Yvonne_Eclips]

The video editing keeps getting better, I love the circular focus 😮

[@crearam]

You are not only a great teacher/researcher but way greater human being (when you said "this is for professionals who generate good income") Thank you. Sir.

[@BubblesPothowari]

Always fluent. Hands on. Sharp. Candid. Insightful. Thank you

[@marklutnes935]

Brilliant! It's sometimes necessary to be very clever with Photoshop. Thanks for explaining the clever parts so clearly!

[@n0f4ke74]

To me its like: How to spend as much time as possible time in editing your stuff. Gets teached since ever.

[@gayaengibaryan6428]

This is just the perfect video that helped me to solve my problem quickly and with high quality. Thank you so much for the new knowledge.

[@danielmenka]

I must confess, you are an excellent instructor.😄😄

[@karenclifford7110]

I am finally going to retire from my day job so I will be able to fully devote myself to watching and learning all the amazing things you teach. And hopefully find some dive photos that I need help in correcting the color on. So excited!!

[@AseemSehmi]

Yours is one of the few channels where I immediately click the "like" button before watching the video because I know I'll learn something new today. excellent work as always. Best wishes from across the pond in London!

[@SrStevenRice]

I just want to congratulate you on selling an advance tool and making sure to say the product is for professionals and that it is a big investment. Because other people would not make the disclaimer and would be fine with just taking people's money regardless if they were ready for the product. This is what makes you stand out, always thinking of your students and learning is the goal, not just profits.

[@kuschelkittn]

i love your videos so much! you are so great at explaining and showing what to do for both beginners and advanced photoshop users

[@wuyangfeng]

Thank you for your tutorials. I’m an ardent follower of your well explained, easy to follow videos. I like the ‘science’ of matching grain and the ways to compare before and after. Very helpful.

I highly suggest the field blur grain on the grain layer. It's so wonderfully modular.

Assalamualaikum Sir Unmesh 🥰 you are the Best I learned a lot of Photoshop from you thanks to being here ❤️❤️❤️ Love 💕 From Pakistan 🥰🥰

[@thoseinmotion]

Super helpful! Thank you just started working with paper backdrops at a local studio and I wasn't sure how to go about smoothing out the paper. For the Retouch4Me plugins, do you have a suggestion of which one of their plugins to start with first that will have the biggest impact for someone's work?

[@mickue]

Great as always

[@octagongaming8074]

You Are Genius !!!

[@MrColeShotz]

This video is right on time

[@MatSmithLondon]

I have been using very advanced masking techniques for over a decade. The recent changes in photoshop (“select subject”) have literally changed my life. It’s not perfect but it’s basically good enough for the quality of source image I generally take. (Ie studio lighting carefully configured)

[@Juan2142]

U know the I've always used the pen tool and I know that the selection tool is great (and the marketing even better) but I somehow just find myself going back to the pen tool. time consuming but 100% accurate.

[@jimohsulymanjagunmoh422]

Excellent 👍

I’ve been needing this exact tutorial 😂 just bought paper backdrops. HOW DID YOU KNOW

[@mouchak6378]

Are you a photographer?

[@Pixeo_Studio]

👌🏼👌🏼always best

[@LXFARUQUE]

Wah awesome tricks 🙌

[@IiILoVeMe15]

thanks

[@paulmoadibe9321]

you're good.... you're very good !! 👍👍

[@fabriziogiuffra]

Thank you so much, always great but the problem is the background underfoot with the shadows to keep and the backdrop to clean! Can you help us? Is it possible in a easy way?

[@vanessamarleysea]

Great video 👍🎥

[@murraykeithhayes4046]

Can you please make a video showing how add a textured background such as an Oiphant. You can see these in many Annie Leibovitz photos. Could something like this be produced in PS? It would be great to see how to add an existing photo of a textured cement wall etc and modify it. I would be grateful if you could show this as you are the best👍

[@PixiLoveOfficial]

amazing

[@baronbratby1852]

Great Tutorial as always but curious why you go for Gaussian blur other than habit? I would have thought ‘Average’ was quicker and simpler in this case

[@hsmith4648]

How do you get your brush to show the feathering radius? Mine has a single circle no matter what the feathering is set at. Thanks

[@karlkiili1572]

Gawd damn! You are a freakin magician!

[@galinapfefer8713]

The easiest? Omg! I try the all evening again and again 🤯🤣🤪👍🏻❤️

[@demodemoochenta]

REEEE SUUUPERRRRR!!!!

[@cruces36]

you are not an expert in Photoshop: you are a magician!!!!

[@Crownof_love]

Brilliant! Please is it possible on photoshop express mobile app?

[@easymathlearnings]

Can you make any tutorial to get this b/w tone from any coloured image?

[@dexterkhokhar]

hi unmesh i think you have to try camera raw grain which is located in Effects which has 3 sliders to adjust noise

[@lewiswickline2217]

Yep… camera raw can cut out subject … then invert tot fix background DeXteR… can you tell me why my modify is greyed out ?

[@Sonicmediaonline]

I will leave this comment here so that when someone likes it 🤔 I come and watch it again😂😂🤣

[@akillerbee73]

Hi, Excellent videos... One comment to this one... Why dont you just add High Frequency seperation on the background? Then you dont need to fiddle with the noise stuff... That is maintained in the HF layer... Just a thought :)

[@charlietanya4994]

Any chance you could share this again but so much more simplified. I’m trying to fix a background from a subject. Very new to masking and this tutorial just is way to fast to get a grib on all the tasks and each tool to use. 🙌☺️

[@mariemul-vanderroest5464]

I agree totally with you. It goes to fast and that is a pity because I am a beginner and indeed I don't get a grib on the tutorial and the tools. You know so much and I want to learn from you.

[@LIZANO262]

Gracias .Saludo.

[@Unexplored_one]

You are super nice, Unmesh! I like you! Good person!

[@dominocomand]

Just wondering, did you ad the texture and the grain in the first place, for demonstration purposes?

[@husamejle]

Great tutorial as usual, you are the best my friend., Does the PiXimperfect Compositing panel "perpetual" receive all updates (if any) as a monthly subscription?? a small tip for all Retouch4me plugins: in Mac you can Control+Click (not Command) inside the Blend area slider of the plugin and it will change to a number instead of the slider and you can change it to any number even over 100 ! I don't know if it works for Windows.

[@Cre8tiveWoman]

ADMIN HERE: Please contact Picture Instruments for assistance. Here's their link: picture-instruments.com/support/ Thanks for your feedback and for watching.

[@PabloB888]

Hi Unmesh, I have a question. A lot of people take photos with mobile phone cameras and skin colors in such photos looks extremely washed out (especially indoors). It's possible to colorize such desaturated skin and make it look natural?

[@WhatALoadOfTosca]

Does that plugin work for seamless paper backgrounds where the subject is sitting on the ground?

[@DJKHOTTA]

I did something simpler that accomplishes about the same, minus the perfect noise i guess? I used Camera Raw to reduce clarity to the point that the background looked soft, and masked the person to paint it out. For my simple purposes, that worked good enough and it took no time.

[@KristjanHinno170]

dude looks like his photoshopped. nice love it

[@ALph4cro]

Hey man, how do you get two rings on your brush? I've been trying to find that setting but I can't find it anywhere.
