The "Gradient Formula" for Dramatic Black & Whites! - Photoshop Tutorial

[@chrispascual7896]

“Remember we are creating art!” Great quote. Often times photographers get stuck on rules or trapped into possible critiques of over blown under exposed. Thanks for what you do, amazing.

[@PiXimperfect]

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more. We get so caught up in the technical aspects of it.

[@robotninjayt]

@@PiXimperfect hi Umesh please make a video on how to make white beard hair into black

[@ankanpurkait]

@@robotninjayt invert the image and mask out everything except the beard

[@elmono3939]

Well put

[@arlitharts]

To all those learning photoshop, I really recommend this channel because he always explain everything he does in all of his tutorials.

[@ZeroDean]

I've been using Photoshop since v2.5 and I always learn new things or approaches from this channel. Always recommended. 👌🏻

[@Titioplay]

And without futher ado he does teach

[@johnnyboy8147]

Been here since 2018, most of what I know is from his channel

[@julesselmes]

But you crushed the eye detail in the first pic, into black eye sockets……..and then you fixed it! Why you are so good 🙌🏻👍🏼

[@WaterShowsProd]

I watched this video on Monday and filed it away in my mind for future reference. Today one of Thailand's greatest actors, Sorapong Chatree, died. It is tradition here to post photos of people who have died in black-and-white, so I used this technique to convert a photo I took with him during the only film we worked on together. The result was far better than how I would have done it before, by simply desaturating and adjusting the curves. I just wanted to thank you for this very timely tutorial.

[@Z-Diode]

Without any doubt you‘re one of the most skilled and constructive Photoshop gurus. 🙌

[@drumarks6638]

You've done it again...this process is more involved than the one I currently use, but the results are dramatic. Back into my catalog and rework some photos. Thanks for all your hard work in putting these tutorials together.

[@PowerControl]

Normally Anglo-American channels seem to govern the KZbin realm, but for PS you are my number 1!

[@FunDumb]

It could simply be done a thousand other ways, but that's not why we're here. Results don't follow just one spectrum. Thanks for covering this.

[@myticas]

PiXimperfect is high end! Why? 1st: His tutorials deliver high worthy content by every second. No frills, no blabla ... 2nd: Although he speaks faster and faster over the years his enunciation remained excellent and easy to understand. 3rd: Every tutorial is designed at a top didactical level. 4th: He combines all the before mentioned qualities to an outstanding overall performance thus underlining the main content statements in an acting way.

[@jasonlacey5979]

The fact that he speaks so fast has always kept me away from his excellent content.. great shame because as you say he delivers high worthy content. Guess he has enough subsribers to not care any more..

[@romanoleksyn1953]

You must be a millionare from people donating, couse you share so much knowledge. Thank's for you job))

[@nabeelmehmood2021]

I recommended everyone to learn from this channel & Pinterest.

You have out done yourself on this one! Best black and white EVER!!!

[@ShaudaySmith]

PiXimperfect is a global treasure. this is a simple and effective tutorial. Love your friendly voice too.

[@queenwhite4831]

3:15 just blew my mind (after 15 years of Photoshop...). Thank you!!

[@monish05m]

yeah seriously, after 10 years of PS I just learned that black and white has other uses.

[@carolyn9996]

You are the absolute best teacher of photoshop...clear, and easy. Thank you, Unmesh!

[@Bevlyn20]

Thank you for that and I am going to have to replay and replay that to learn it properly. Just the trouble with being old! So good to know you can do this without having to buy expensive plugins.

[@MrBig-jt5th]

Thanks brother. Because of your tutorial my shop selling has increased. I have a photo selling shop.

[@arnetrautmann9783]

The most useful thing - and you say it a lot (good!): "organization is important". Good advise!

[@qed2997]

"HDR Vomit" - love that expression!

[@jozsibartalis533]

coincidentally or not, today I'm looking for topics about conversion to black and white and here's what I find out.thank you for everyting you mare!

[@BestAudiovisualTricks]

Excellent! You are a genius! God bless you my friend! 🏆

[@nabiln.2923]

[@CentaurusRelax314]

1) You're fantastic. 2) This is incredible. I've been a photographer for a long time, and have used Photoshop since v1, but never would have known about this. 3) Thank you.

[@ThatSpadeGirl]

YES! Love this! So much quicker and realistic! Thank you! And that's a great shot of that person!

[@gonzagasantos2290]

Mr. Unmesh Dinda, simply amazing, thank you.

[@baharam98]

Very helpful tips. Thank you. My B and W images look so much better using the methods in this video.

[@sethasareprof.3280]

Best of all. Please I'm requesting, make a video on restoring an old portrait photograph. Looking forward....

[@RobertHamm]

I have learned so much from you over the years. Thank you for your great videos and attitude.

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

I generally use channel mixer and curves for conversion, it allows me to control the way that this is applied. But, this looks cool.

[@taranjeetsingh057]

Bug fan sir 😍😍 love you classes ❤️❤️

[@jrbling25]

Love it! Speaking of Gradients..How about a short on what "Smoothness" actually means in the world of photoshop. When applying gradients, the smoothness option has the effect of changing the transition of Color 1 to color 2 in a way that seems 'non-linear'.. Can you explain what this is actually doing to the values of pixels?? Thank you!!

[@2020Viision]

I was your 1000th like on this vid! I’m so galas to call you my mentor. Great job.

[@videocasetteTV]

The way you are explaining is more than diamonds you are awesome,, kindly may you create tutorials about creating poster and flyers because all other tuts on KZbin with a music background without voiceover, thanks in advance

[@rishibhingare]

Ooooooh! I love this, Unmesh! I knew gradient maps had even more untapped power, but this is awesome!! :D I haven't done much photo editing/manipulation for a while, but I wanna try! Even with noisy images. ;)

[@TheEdquijano]

Thank you Pixim. This is really an open PS book of knowledge. You make it real. I have a question, how to make a color photo dramatic? Do you have a tutorial pointing in that direction? Thanks.

[@jc-crafford]

Unmesh, thanks for all the awesome videos. Just one request. Is it maybe possible to talk a little bit slower? I find that I sometimes have to rewind a few times to catch what you have done.

[@vicentecanonserrano886]

Excelente método. Lastima que no se pueda hacer una acción para el segundo ejercicio. O tal vez si ¿?

[@ahmadshalabi979]

Amazing thanks

[@fidelrodriguez7964]

You are so good and knowledge is for tons. The downside is talking too fast, specifically for those ones that are learning. Drive us crazy a little bit. Going back and forth.

[@john-bloss]

Unmesh, this, like all your tips and tutorials, is great. Thank you. (As an aside, I suggest you copyright the expression “HDR vomit” which is clearly bound to become a popular phrase in the world of Photoshop. :~)

[@gashead2]

Great thanks

[@aslamafeerdeen]

Use full bro

[@ronniesilverio]

Great Video😍
