Wow Irene you are so talented, a master artist in all aspects of photography. I think i will have to watch a few times to be able to comprehend and practice all your fab techniques. Thank you
For someone who is starting to push more on portraiture and lifestyle, I think this has to be one of the simplest, yet most impactful video's I've watched. Thank you so much for sharing this Irene. It's people like you that allow us other photographers the chance to grow!
Totally agree with this comment, i love and respect the thought she had for sharing such valuable information for us who is starting a new here. A big fan here.
Unbelievable. This is such a great tutorial. It's not only super informative, but it's also extremely simple hacks that anyone can do to really make an impact on their art. Thanks so much for sharing! I am certainly a new subscriber now!
Nice. Just a few suggestions on Easy Skin tip: 1.: No need to copy the background layer, just use new empty layer 2.: Set your eyedropper "sample size" to something like 31x31, to get more representative color. You were using "point sample" so picking a single pixel color. 3.: Once you set your eyeropper sample size right, you can pick new color with brush, just hold Alt / Option to pick a new brush color, no need to take eyedropper every time. Cheers
@@IreneRudnyk and pls. set the layer to "color" in order to keep the structure.... i would prefer not to do this quick'n dirty technique at all... or at least not talk about it ;o) Just take more time and do it with proper dodge and burn... i like that you use gradients.... but add a saturation layer as well, group them and mask the group. Because darker areas are more saturated, so you need to correct this...
On photoshop, my brush won't work right even though I've got everything in the top bit that she's got. Do you have any ideas on why? Also super helpful tips :)
Photoshop Chef - Hi, thanks for your tips. When I use the brush after selecting the sample area, I am finding that the new colour is brushed in ok, but it loses the texture of the original area, what am I doing wrong, please. I end up with a face with very little texture.
Hello Irene, to congratulate you on your great work and share it with us, I have a question how do you stretch the photo Hack #1 0:16 with photoshop cc 2019? I did it before and I learned it from you, thank you very much in fact, but with photoshop cc 2019 I am not able of doing it, could you help me please.... Thank you.
I'm having the same issue. It won't stretch when I click and drag with the box. It will stretch the selection portion kinda like a triangle up or down like a door on hinges 🤔
So so so helpful Irene 😍 thank you! You’ve definitely helped me so much on my photography journey over the last two years. Currently binging your channel today 😂
Why not use the lens distortion correction when importing the raw file? That fixes lens distortion automatically and properly. When correcting skin color just change the brush mode to hue and it is much easier to fix that issue with less chance of overdoing it and you do not affect detail at all. Blemishes are easier to remove with smart heal brush.
Girl I'm starting to feel as if I've ripped off your work flow completely ever since I've seen you do these things in previous videos! The camera raw hacks and the crop+distort hack has changed how I edit to the better, so thank you :D
Irene please help me! (or anyone who has the answer) I am trying the stretching and my selection has a bugger cross in the center and even after hitting distort it wont let me pull to the side... I tried to see if my settings were off but I dont see any difference... ???? 🚨🚨🚨
Irene Please Help. The first and the second stretching hack dont work. When i try to distrort the image, it doesn't work like in your video nothing happens...in this video you use PH CC2018 I have CC2019 maybe this technique does dont work anymore? Edit: Ok, solved, when you drag you must have to hold the shift key!
You can also leave out the "Distort" step. Just use the "Free Transform" handle on the side and hold the shift key in PS CC 2019 ver 20.0, because it now defaults to constrain proportions.
I don't even own a camera, but I enjoy a lot your videos. Something in your voice, in your teaching skills and the way you transform a picture just relaxes me
This was an amazing tutorial. I’m seriously empowered and mind blown. As a photographer, I’m so excited to apply so many of these tips to my photos. I can see how these subtle things make a big difference and I am so grateful I found you today! ❤️
th-cam.com/video/F5XJkArWIC8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yTrCqzBUsaIO505A&t=1019 for some reason it's not working for me... when I use the brush there is absolutely no difference, not a pixel is changed. I'm following Irene's instruction to the letter, but something's is not right. Any idea what is happening?
Love this video! Super informative. Quick question: when I click on the crop tool for hack 1: stretching, a crop box doesn’t automatically appear around my image therefore I’m unable to stretch it one way or another. Any suggestions on how to get that box to automatically appear?
i've landed back on this video again to apply some of these hacks and recently just found out you're also a Calgarian!! WTF my mind is actually severely blown right now and im in shock LOL.
HI Irene, I want to ask you about your lens Canon EF 85mm f/1.2. I heard it degrades its performance after half a year/a year of usage. Do you notice such problem with your lenses?
Can’t draw in the eyebrows, somehow nothing is coming out. I changed opacity, flow, smoothing. Seems like everything is exactly the same as on your screen. What am I missing?
Those aren't hacks. A "hack" is using something do to that for which it was not originally intended. These are simply "techniques", albeit useful ones.
Hi a new subscriber here I watched all your editing videos for photoshop it's was really great I leaned pretty much I'll start to use those tricks from today ...thanks for the great videos!
For the first two, there is a better way. Instead: make the selection, new layer via copy, then go Edit > Content-Aware Scale, stretch the layer to the edge and, finally, do the dance of joy.
You keep using the word hack. Not sure you know what that word actually means. Nothing in this video is a "hack". You're using photoshop tools the way they are intended 😂
You say you use a tablet? I noticed on my IPad, I don’t have as many options to edit. What tablet do you use, what stylus, and what app did you download? This video is fantastic!!
You do a marvelous job, however, on the backlit girl, where you sample and paint ,I wonder how you could lighten the right part of her nose above the nostril in the indent as well as her left side by the nose and top of the lip without overdoing it? By lowering the opacity or flow? I can't unsee it is dark there and zero right on it
How do you get your duplicate layers to go into your actions and not in the layers menu? I tried to duplicate a layer to make some eye adjustment but then wanted to do some eye shadow adjustments but it didn't work when duplicating another layer. Thanks
This is FANTASTIC! Thank you for the hacks! I'm going to practice these techniques. You've actually shown me how to apply several effects I'm a big fan of.
Generally the procedures are good but in the second hack to stretch her legs so that the legs are twice as long a the rest of her body > tho make her look more proportionate " is in this example an absurdity, the result is clearly dis proportionate, an makes the photo kitsch. .
You're my new favorite photographer to watch! you explain things and share so much in just one single video! And the great thing is... it doesn't require much to apply the techniques to our own work. I'm so excited I found you! Thank you for all your teachings!
So when you are shooting in top or bottom angles you have to retouch a little to compensate for the angle. so is that why other photographers say to be at level with models at fast apertures and not to shoot looking down or up the model?
Thx for the vid, but I would neverrrrr stretch or liquify an image so much. Shooting wide and cropping in, or using the "content Aware" fill are always much better options over stretching an image. Stretching and liquifying loses clarity, and should only be used as a last resort.
Adding more hair?...making neck longer?... I can’t believe this is modern photography. This is teaching a person to lie about herself/himself. The photographer is teaching the person not to appreciate herself as natural as he/she is. Sorry, I simply hate this method. I can accept changing brightness and contrast, but changing the physical form is a lie!
modern photography? people have been manipulating their image since the very beginning. Whether is was putting Vaseline on the lens to soften the skin or painting over the negatives and scratching off the imperfections. Take a history lesson.
Seen 100s of photoshop videos and they all just tend to be repeats of same old techniques, this however was original and more useful, fantastic work.. tnx

Hold ALT when creating the mask if you want a black mask.
This is the most that I have learned so quickly from a single Photoshop tutorial. Thank you! Definitely got my sub!

Lens distortion correct geometric distortion, not perspective distortion.
This is a great tutorial! Thanks for sharing!

Hey girl hey, I had the same problem and apparently its a new update on photoshop that's preventing this. Just press SHIFT and then drag!
Fantastic! I was having the same issue as I have the CC19 version. I knew it had to be a version issue. Thanks a bunch!!
@@iamaaronism
shift doesnt do it for me? i have cs19 as well
nevermind that did the trick now hjajajaja
thanksssssssssssss
I was amazed by literally every one of these!
Right? Me too! I've got a LOT to learn about Photoshop! YIKES!

Thank you for sharing Irene! your videos have been an inspiration to practice more on my photography
Speed x 1.25 squad is here :)
Same
1.5 all the way ;-)
The stretching technique doesn't work for me. I am only able to distort vertically and I can't pull it to the side :/
Same here, I cannot get it to stretch out :(
You can also leave out the "Distort" step. Just use the "Free Transform" handle on the side and hold the shift key in PS CC 2019 ver 20.0, because it now defaults to constrain proportions.
