[@loucinetamargo4765]

I can't believe your content is free! this is such great help for beginner editors. Man, you are a gift from the heavens!

[@dusanstevic89]

What else can I do except put a thumbs up on each and every video of yours. You are a great teacher and packed with knowledge.

[@zalodias123]

This video is a masterclass of Photoshop knowledge. Thanks for providing us this level of teaching for free!

[@KawaiiVegs]

Thank you a thousand times ! I was depressed over my pictures after editing, why they were not enough eye catching. With these simple checks, it changed everything ! I'm really lucky to have found your channel 🙏

[@WRcolor]

This is one of the best Photoshop video! Thank you very much. One comments here: For the saturation check layers, I think just 2 layers are enough: a solid color with Hue blend mode to remove the hue difference, and a solid color with luminosity blend mode to remove the brightness difference. The color blend mode actually is include both Hue and saturation, which is not necessary for the saturation check layers.

[@PrimordialStrange]

I literally sat with a notebook and wrote all the instructions. That's one of the reason I Just Love your Videos. Keep it up BRO!!

[@ActorRahman]

am amazed by your knowledge on photoshop. Have not seen anyone with such and clearer explanations . too good. pls pls do go on. U r the best ever on photoshop. no one can close to u.

[@amrithMilW]

surprised to see your comment here

[@griffalo1013]

These check layers are so great! I love compositing, but being red-green colour blind makes it challenging to match elements up sometimes. This made things so easy with such a brilliant outcome! Thank you Unmesh!

Can I suggest to add Threshold layer to your action? Can help to check easily the lights how it is coming into a composite.

[@jonseyjones321]

A more faithful Black and White representation for the Luminance Check Layer is using the Black and White effect with the settings: Red: 27 Yellow: 148 Green: -39 Cyan: 194 Blue: 11 Magenta: 138

This is an excellent way to restore old scanned photos, whether in true color, stained aged sepia, stained aged color, unevenly hand-tinted color, or discovering why a photo just looks inexplicably "off" to you.

[@rostfomin]

This is awesome! The Solarize and Luminance Checks were awesome. The saturation ones didn't work for me at all. I see the pictures almost fully red, but the color picker tool shows that the colors in those areas are between 10 and 30% of saturation.

[@shereefshokry4852]

Luminance, Saturation, and Hue Luminance is the amount of light Saturation how much color? Hue is what color? 1:20 Start Solar Curve Usage: makes every detail visible Helpful in exaggerating every little detail Details Recommended: Use the Spot Healing Brush tool and Healing Brush tool 7:25 Luminance Luminance is the amount of light being emitted without color. Usage: Dodge and Burn Retouching Recommended: use curve Adjustment Layer with a Luminance blending mood with brush flow 2%. 14:04 Saturation Saturation is the amount of color it shows you which areas are very much saturated which areas are less saturated and which areas have no color Usage: Matching Color or to be much colorful photo Recommended: use Vibrance Adjustment Layer play balance with Saturation & Vibrance up to the maximum that you can go. Noted: White is fully saturated Black is No Saturated. 21:37 Hue Check Layer Hue is what color? it is rout color or a pure color Usage: Color Correction Recommended: use Hue & Saturation, Vibrance, and level Adjustment Layer then play with Handel tool. 28:00 Quick Recap
