► MISSING INFO: At 5:35, I was to say, "...with the selection active, click on the mask button," but that got cut off by mistake while I was editing. Sorry!

[@naseerahmedwighio7694]

[@chargaouihamdi]

ONE QUESTION PLEAS : i tried to upload logo to envato and they rejected it. can you please tale me how i can upload my files and what is the setting that i should respect to be accepted. please

[@douglasjimenez2839]

Thank you for clarifying that.

[@sabahbourgi9207]

No problem! Thank you for your updates.

[@TheWelcomebaby]

👍👍👍

[@clubbinmag3]

I like how he Acknowledged that you should take a break while working. This man obviously knows what he’s doing, not just as a graphic designer, but as a person. Sometimes You have to step away to step up.

[@randomuniverse8770]

yeah actually it's a tip that i always gave to every artist

[@Krakyy]

yeah my art teacher said that too

[@xaap8408]

5 years of making awesome video's and just as enthusiastic as day 1. hats of to you good sir!

[@bv42]

Wow! This video is packed with information and techniques. As a longtime follower, I have the sense that each and every step has at least one full tutorial devoted to it sometime in the last 5 years. This is a great one for following Unmesh's suggestion to download the image and follow along, taking the time to understand each step!

[@familialopez3141]

I support this

[@lillyrose6568]

This tutorial just kept on giving!! I found the part about making sure the shadow wasn't darker than the darkest spot really helpful. I love how many extra details you included in this photo!

[@gekkolisko]

Your tutorials are extra-ordinary, probably the best on TH-cam. In addition to your top notch skills, your ability to express and teach are beyond normal. Plus the positive vibe and smile you give the audience. Splendid! Thank you and greetings from Finland!

[@GJDPstyle]

I've been following your videos for a while now and watch all new releases, but regularly also still go back to the older ones.
While you've always been very helpful and clear, it's also striking how much you've grown over the years in your presentation skills, production levels and overall professionality.
Keep up the great work, Unmesh!

[@nicodishiznit]

I like how you really teach things and not let your audience just memorize each steps. Great tutorial as always

[@federicoariosto3485]

MAN YOUR WORK´S AMAZING! The clarity of how you teach is unbelivable, continue like this!

[@longfinger]

You are a Jedi! :) Thank you for all your positive vibes and endless knowledge! I look forward to your videos every single week!!! May your days be full of love and light!!

Such a great man ❤️🔥

[@drac0100]

Awesome tutorial ! I'll use it for sure !

[@JPCreations026]

Amazing Video man!
A small tip to make the golden color even more appealing: Try and shift the color hues a little bit apart from each other with the two "Gold Dark" and "Gold Bright" layers.
Keeping the colors the exact same works, but it can feel a bit flat and muddy at times. If you look up references of the color gold, you'll notice that it's not all the same color. Often there's a bit of cooler brown in the darker sides and warmer yellow in the lighter sides so shift those color hues a bit. It's a small adjustment, but it does wonders so try it out!

[@dexterquinn9896]

That was sick, my dude. I hope to meet you some day to thank you for all your tips. You've really helped my career. Cheers, mate.

[@theinen7735]

Amazing video! Only thing I would suggest is that since in the original photo the reflection of the desert and the photographer are keeping their colors on the car, I would remove a bit of gold from there.

Pleease.. what keyboard do you use?

[@batman200]

@PiXimperfect can you use the uhd of back to the future 1 and add grain to it you see the grain was reduced and it looks less detailed and was wondering if you could do it or point me in the direction of some who can and no I don’t mean for the whole film though I would like that just doing it for a very small amount of the movie so I can see if it improves the detail.

[@vvandavvanda4536]
