I‘ve seen many of your tutorials. They are all first class. I guess photoshop has no secrets for you. Kind regards from Germany 👍👍👍

[@chubbychops1000]

I hope you realize that your tutorials are simply the best...professional, easy to understand, nice sense of humour. Truly you are WONDERFUL and I thank you.

[@RancidDragonProductions]

I love your positive attitude. Keep up the great tutorials!

[@ivansmiljkovic88]

Since I found you on YT, I have no need to to look for anybody else ... you are the great teacher ever !!

[@siddhunkarthik]

It is too good man. I use levels adjustment later , than curve adjustment layer for so many months and years. You changed me completely.

FYI: in the "Generate Normal Map" menu, tehere is an option at below which you can select preview mode. Select texture map so you will see the preview on a flat surface so it s way easy to do the adjustment. Sphere is mostly for 3D artists.

[@AntonioKowatsch]

Man, I didn't even know that you could generate Normal Maps in PS. This is super useful for my PBR workflow. Many thanks.

[@Chris.888]

Literally the only place you need for Photoshop tuts ;)

I had doubts about you popping up all the time. This proves me wrong, really cool research and I love editing tips for my minimal retouching work man! this is invisible and doesn't destroy the image. Kudos

[@JBSwanstrom]

This was great, I went back to some landscapes and used this technique to add detail to some tree trunks that I always felt needed a punch. Thank you, your tutorials rock!

[@enidrajm]

[@jorgem18]

This was really a very simple to follow along with and then in turn replicate the technique demonstrated by you in the articulate and demystifying manner that I've come to associate with the tutorials you create... Thank you so much for not only the education but the inspiration that you've giving me to get back in tuned with Ps Unmesh and encouraging us to do what all too often dismissed and forgotten... "To have FUN" !!! one of the BEST ways for anyone to LEARN a shared Passion.

[@pahountisg]

[@Artyfact11]

Excellent tutorial and well presented - thanks!

[@DingbatToast]

"How much bump you need? I want all of it!" I'm with you on that!

[@CJ_Photo]

Your intro is so cool 😎👍

[@chg3111]

Haven't seen a tutorial like the ones you post here, I appreciate the step by step explanations of every buttons you click on Ps and it helps a lot to people like me who tends to forget every step once the video is over and needs to go back for refresher course. I just wonder, do you somehow teach in a tech school somewhere? Coz I wanna enroll in your class! Thank you for all your tutorials and posting as much secrets as you can share with us here without asking anything in return. 🙌

[@ArchyAJLS]

A Normal map is an RGB map that has a different lighting angle for surface details for each channel. R, G and B, that's why it looks this funky with the blue tint and everything. Now, what this means is that you can isolate a channel and light it from a certain direction. In this video you're creating surface details by desaturating the normal map. Have you tried isolating one channel, for example Green and use that as the soft light layer? This is useful if you want to accentuate the details in the photo but be consistent with the direction the light comes from in the photo.

[@masfuhso]

You are exactly correct, I seen a few of his videos, i think he over complicates simple things to appear "smart" to newbies.

[@damrfovi]

sería genial ver un video del proceso que señalas

[@Overxpossed]

@@damrfovi luego de hacer el normalmap, ir a canales y tomar alguno de los colores para darle con el softlight. De hecho, los normales en 3D son geometrías 2D aparentemente tridimensionales, donde los coores RGB dan las coordenadas sobre cómo debe mostrarse ese 2D, por ejemplo, al rotar un poco la perspectiva del objeto, cada color da información sobre hacian donde debe "elevarse" el 2D y cómo la luz debe proyectar sobras sobre esa imagen 2D para dar ilusión que es un objeto 3D. Se usa mucho en videojuegos para simular geometría compleja con objetos low poly y hacernos creer que la tecnología ha evolucionado xD

[@damrfovi]

@@Overxpossed en cuanto pueda hacerlo voy a probarlo! gracias por responder con gran contenido!

[@Overxpossed]

@@damrfovi De nada bro. Igualmente nunca lo hice; lo sé de curioso. Búscate un modelo 3D humano y superpone la luz del 3D y el modelo sobre un retrato y ahí su veras unos cambios drásticos de iluminación.

[@oinus81]

This is great! White solid color (soft light) instead of curves are more effective.

[@mariomarinich1058]

You are really GREAT!!!!!! Thank yo so much!!!

“See the bump? Wow look at that bump!” Lol

Very interesting effect! On certain "textures" and "surfaces", the result is spectacular. The less smooth is the surface, the better the result, HDR-like.
