What a brilliant Photoshop ‘trick’ who would have thought that possible!

[@glyndewis]

Thanks Heather

You make learning fun! Thanks! With love from Atlanta.

Thanks so much

[@evelynyoung7078]

Amazing. Thanks for sending that Glyn. See you at the summit. I cant wait to see what you will come up with. You are a great teacher being very clear.

[@glyndewis]

That's so good to hear...thank you Evelyn

[@Cognitoman]

Thanks bro. Im actually a web developer, and building a 3D parallax effect for a landing page, with 10-15 different layers on the landing page that move on the x,y,z axis. Anyways I thought it would be cool to make some clouds part of the layers, and this is just what I needed. I'm not good at photoshop at all, so pretty much anything I do have to look up and watch videos. Thanks man!

[@glyndewis]

Cheers 👍🏻

"What would happen if..." - a tactic I completely agree with and have long used with Photoshop too! I particularly liked your final clouds-over-Lyme-Regis look, by the way.

Would you consider making a video about what is the best technique to have our photos printed. As far as I am concerned, I was very disappointed with the result of some photo printing companies. Good advice is needed about this matter...

[@glyndewis]

Absolutely Pauline...will do that. I'm also working on a printing course which goes through printing at home and sending to a lab

As always, you more often than not, come with your A-game when it comes to Photoshop playing a ginormous part that will give us the "extra" needed in making our images fascinating. Yours sincerely, I cannot but admit that I do learn greatly from your wealth of experience and ocean of knowledge when it comes to Photoshop. Ipso facto, I had to refer my friends and most especially my twin brother to your KZbin channel and Instagram account. Keep up giving us the best always, my honcho. God bless endlessly.

Wow this will transform some images I already have in my catalogue. I want to try and create my dog coming through fog in the woods and maybe add a touch of mist to some waterfall image's. Looking forward to having a play about the weekend. You're the best photoshop teacher on KZbin, thank you.

[@glyndewis]

That's very kind of you to say. Hope it's useful 👍

[@the_useless_photographer]

@@glyndewis You're welcome, credit where it's due. May I ask, how would I put the fog behind my subject like a model? Thanks.

[@DiviPhotos]

Cool

[@glyndewis]

Thanks

[@craigcampbell66]

Glyn - loved the tutorial - great technique. Something I picked up from another channel (Marty from Blue lightning - PS) was using 'Flow' instead of opacity to gradually paint in the changes to your masks. Flow at around 3-5% or so and then you can just keep the left click down and finesse what you want like you would if drawing with a pencil etc. I use the same when I need to erase something gradually.

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Craig. Yeah I do use Flow but no-where near enough so I may well start playing around with it a bit more 👍

[@adejones2340]

I always forget about using the perspective when adding stuff like this, especially mist, fog etc I always leave it as a 2D like you state.

[@CiskyFCC]

Nice. The only thing I'm not ok with in general with Photoshop is that levels can be used only as a destructive action and in this case, if you are going to change something, like adding more elements to your composition so you need to make for further adjustments, you're likely to be forced to get it from the start. Not that is that hard anyway but still a little annoying. Thanks Glyn, that square technique is so simple but still I never thought about it, lol. I can finally make use of the clouds feature, especially used as a fog, without going to search in the web for images or brushes.

[@glyndewis]

Great to hear you like it. I hope you're able to make use of it at some point 👍

[@gilltim5711]

Beautiful presentation, Glyn. Seeing the fog and mist raises another question, if I may ask you. How do you create the effect David Hamilton used in his photographs? That beautiful diffused image, soft warm light. I have a feeling you're an expert at it.

[@glyndewis]

Thanks so much Gill. As for David Hamilton...watch this space 😉

[@gilltim5711]

@@glyndewis Looking forward to it. Thanks!

[@davidgreenhouse9715]

That's great that Glyn. I don't use PS anywhere near enough I just find it too complicated!! Must be my age, but I'll definitely have a crack at this. Do you think it could work with woodland shots??

[@glyndewis]

Hi David...thanks for watching the video. As for woodland shot...absolutely...the Blend If I showed in the video will help to blend it into the scene. Let me know how you get on and if you need any help with it.

[@davidgreenhouse9715]

Glyn is it possible to change the depth of the mist/fog?

[@EDDIEGARAGE]

Hi Glyn can you us how to add a realistic fog to a landscape thanks Glyn

[@glyndewis]

Sure thing...can look at that at some point 👍

[@vikingvapor5722]

In my opinion the older Workflow is better, because it´s easier to do. Blend If is nice, but complicate to understand at the visualisation. If you correct only the current layer, the opacity slicer does a better Job.

[@glyndewis]

Great to have options though right? 😉 Plus with opacity you're stuck with the amount of cloud you have / don't have ... with Blend If you can bring more back or take some away.

[@vikingvapor5722]

@@glyndewis No way......I didn`t stuck with the amount of of Clouds it´s easier to understand what Adobe does in the Blendif process... In the upper layer the compression of Leveling works on a Mask, but unfortuneatly the same thing work directly on the layer below, if you set these rulers. The difference is remarkable if you use a low contrasty Jpg underneath, which is matched by levels before.

[@brianhartley9394]

Hi Glyn, Great tutorial. I was wondering if you could help. I recently watched a tutorial from you and you described how you created a dreamy or warm finish to your landscapes etc. The system you used related to the resolution of your camera as you imputed that number. For the life of me I can't find the tutorial again. Would you be able to recall which one it was. Thanks.

[@glyndewis]

Sure thing Brian ... the technique is within this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJO3YmebjNuKb6M
