[@mikejduk]

The signs of a great tutorial is when a novice like me can understand it and as with all your tutorials, Glyn, this was straight forward and easy t understand. Many thanks.

[@victoriaframness8132]

Of all the Photoshop tutorials I've seen, this is by far the most efficient and user friendly. Clean cut and simple yet very effective, love it!

[@johndoherty6448]

Had to watch a few times to help it sink in. Really great video from 6 yrs ago. Thank you v.m.

[@vilokaaa]

"white reveals, black conceals". I think I might FINALLY remember which way round it goes because of that phrase. You've changed my life ha.

[@mikeoreo1]

You sir are amazing. I have been watching and learning from your videos for some time now and you always amaze me with the things you can do with an image. Well done, please continue with more videos for us to learn from your experience. I appreciate it immensely. Sincerely yours.

[@glyndewis]

Back at you Mike Stevens; I appreciate you tuning in :)

[@woogie23]

Really appreciate that you added the file so I could follow along and do the technique as shown. Please include, if possible, in future episodes. Always enjoy your tutorials. Thanks

[@glyndewis]

Thanks for watching Dennis Krug

[@ShamelGataje]

BIG THANKS ... really beautiful thank you Glyn for sharing

[@bswade007]

Nicely done, as usual, Glyn!

[@BeautifulGav]

Thanks Mate ... even the shift click for drawing just helped me .. cheers!

[@Zak5221]

This is the first tutorial I have seen, your video has been really helpful and I cannot wait to watch the rest of them, Thank you for such a awesome Video!

[@paulwarwick8124]

Great tip about drawing straight lines lines & opening the layer mask... you are the photoshop maestro

[@glyndewis]

LOL...Cheers :)

[@ralfpohl8831]

Thats an amazing technique. Before i did it with Color Lookups and paint the light in afterwards. Thank you very much Glyn!

[@glyndewis]

You're welcome mate; thanks for watching

[@comengjatta5192]

this is so wonderful and I just love it

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Glyn, another good tutorial. I am really finding a lot of power in using smart objects. Most if not every project, I finish and think, it couldn't get better, then the next day or two I take another look with fresh eyes and see many short comings: too dark, too blue, too sharp, missed something critical, etc.. With smart object, it is easy to open the filters and adjustment, refine and save again. Adobe continues to help us up our game.

[@glyndewis]

Absolutely mate. Smart Object are often overlooked but form such an important part of the retouching workflow...love them!!! :)

[@kennethlarsson173]

Once again you made a great tutorial. It doesn´t need to be a 20 min long video to get inspired and educated. Keep it up Glyn

[@glyndewis]

Cheers Mate

[@johnoswald7117]

Thank you Glyn .... Great tutorial which I have been playing around with some old pictures to trial. You have a gift of being able to explain what to do and at a pace an old guy like me can keep up with. Thanks again.

[@glyndewis]

That's wonderful to hear John, thank you and thank you for looking in and taking the time to send a message

[@harrycallaghan22]

Excellent tutorial. Clear and easy to understand. Nice one.

[@catsNplanets]

How have I been working in Photoshop for the past 5 years and never knew about the SHIFT button trick to get straight lines while using the paintbrush!? I didn’t think I’d ever use the words mind blown together until this moment. This technique will help so much with my next manipulation artwork. Thank you so much!

[@adam106100]

[@Hazemsultan1]

Brilliant

[@TristanEntertainment]

amazing

[@jeffj4530]

Great video Glyn. Very helpful. Do you have any suggestions for windows on buildings when trying to turn day to night? I have some windows that are very dark, so using ACR on a layer to make yellow doesn't really impact windows. Thanks!

[@moosasanani]

Awesome

Cheers

[@hitmancorporation]

Legend

[@bettifield]

Ezcellent thanks

[@DavesChaoticBrain]

Glyn, in the Hollywood worlds this technique is known as "Day for Night". Maybe add that phrase to your tags (if it's not there) so people can find it if they search that phrase. Great tutorial! Thanks for all your work!

[@glyndewis]

Cool...thanks for the tip there mate ;)

[@djking7942]

+Dave Wilson Wouldn't that be 'Night for Day', as you're swapping a night effect for the day picture....?

[@DavesChaoticBrain]

I think it's a sort of shortened expression as in "filming during the day for the night shot".

[@traxx110]

Great tutorial for a beginner as I am, but saddly the download link for the file doesn't work any more...

[@124toosh]

great

[@maimohamed3590]

WOW

[@cynthiaqiu3301]

Interesting way of using one layer and use selection tool then apply different functions, rather using separate layers!

[@paigemaher2239]

amazing video, not sure how i can translate that as i use corel.

[@user-wt7zz7gd1e]

Hello, any advice on what to do if you only have Elements and about a 10/13yr old 'expensive' PS copy? I just looked at this Russell BRown thing but it's for CS6. Thanks

[@rodrigomendieta]

Dear Glyn, CS6 Photoshop version, does it have the "Camera Raw" Filter?

[@glyndewis]

Rodrigo Mendieta It's only in the cloud version but you can get a script from Russell Brown's website for free called Edit Layers in ACR and that will allow you to do the equivalent

[@manphanvan544]

+Rodrigo Mendieta Photoshop CC

[@AboEliasOmar]

انت رائع

[@noeljuanmanahan6233]

Do you have something like changing daytime scene to night time Indoors. I'm trying to make a living room at night

[@lalomdn]

Me too

[@StevenBrener]

Hi Glyn, I love this technique and I created a few images using it. They look fine when I'm looking at them on the PC from their files or in LR. But, when I upload them and look at them online, they get much darker, to the point of not being able to see them well, and the colors, esp the yellow, gets much deeper and posturize and become a mess. Any idea what to do about that?

[@glyndewis]

Hi Steven. Before uploading the images take a look at them in sRGB and see what they look like. It might be just the different colour space or even browser having an affect on how they look.

[@StevenBrener]

Thank you for responding Glyn. I thought by exporting them as sRGB jpgs, I had done that. The jpgs seem to be OK when I review them on the PC, but online it's a different story. Tones that darkened far too much and odd, posturized, over saturated yellows. Just seems to happen to ones where the tones are overwhelmingly dark, like the Day to Night ones.

[@glyndewis]

Steven Brener Which browser are you looking at them in?

[@StevenBrener]

Using Chrome. But....I just went to Microsoft Edge, and they look much better and closer to what they look like in LR....what a surprise! Here's 4 examples (a few of which I used the Day to Night approach with). I put them on Google Photos first just to see how they render online (before I'd put them on 500px or other sites for sharing). They're a mess here when viewed in Chrome and look different than they do in LR or as jpegs in a photo viewer. goo.gl/photos/5dWoMEqw8VXv8FKg7 goo.gl/photos/q56vY5uDjuk5xpNp6 goo.gl/photos/sWL6Q4c3q3JVjMLZ7 goo.gl/photos/ySvSnnrBfE7Dgbq88 Most of the ones with very dark tones suffer the same fate! Wondering why they look so messed up in Chrome and so much closer to what I saw when I use MS Edge. Thanks again...

[@TheKingsad10]

Possible to explain how I do pull the door light brushing like you taught me how to please you I'm doing a wonderful artist

[@NormaDirany]

Does the camera Raw filter only available in Adobe CC ?! thank you in advance

[@glyndewis]

Yeah only in CC but you can still do this technique. Just create 2 copies of the original file and save them. Then open each in RAW and do the changes to each that I made in the video. You can then drag them into the same file and do the rest. Hope that makes sense.

[@NormaDirany]

Thank u so much :)
