    I'm primarily a large format B&W film portrait photographer so found this of interest.
    I fully expected you to add a bit of sepia tint to the finished product.

    Thank you. I applied this technique to an image I took some years ago of an elderly gentleman with a " lived in Face". A little tweeking including bring opacity of "grunge layer" down to 80% and come up with a pleasing resault.

    Hi Joel, after completing your Still Life Master class, It really got my creative juices flowing with my own twist. I have been using my macro lens and some used flash equipment to photograph flowers. I have been using some of this grunge look as well. Thanks for these tutorials!

    You can also do this the opposite way around by taking a monochrome image and colourzing it in Photoshop (thanks to PS's new neural filters which are supported by Ai) ;)

    Joel, thank you for the video. I purchased your still life, and I wanted to learn little more from your post-processing. Great video! I just would like to point out that it is hard to make out your photoshop steps, because the video is very fuzzy, literally hard to see/read the icons and text on layers. Not sure why it is that way.

      @@joelgrimes I agree with Vicki, it definitely seems to be too low of a resolution to easily see the photoshop menus and other text. FWIW, I was initially surprised by Vicki's comment so I had to go check. The first time I watched this was on a 75" 4K TV through a 4K Apple TV and I didn't notice a major problem with the resolution. However, I just tried it on my windows machine on an ultrawide 3440x1440 (not a 4K) and it's definitely fuzzy. I went back and watched it on my 4K and it's definitely being upscaled, which made it slightly easier to see but there's even there it's not crisp. I have no idea what a minimum resolution should be if it's needed for showing text, however.

    Awesome tutorial! Unfortunately, I've done everything possible and the Camera Raw Filter has no effect on the image. All the settings are still set at zero. Now I actually can't even find the download. I'll admit that I haven't been working with PS for a while, but I've never had a download dissappear on me... Grrr.

    question I heard at one time after you edit in 16 bit is it true when you flatten everything and get it ready to print , should you change it to 8bit or leave it at 16 bit for printing

  • @jimmason8502
    @jimmason8502 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I know Joel is a commercial photographer and he’s cultivated that HDR look cause it’s how he earns a living. But I have to say, am not a fan of HDR/over processed photos. Still enjoyed the video, the man is a pro’s pro.

    • @joelgrimes
      @joelgrimes  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For sure there's a personal touch and choice involved. These techniques can be used a minimal/invisible amount and still add some nice depth/detail to an image

    It looked much better in color. There is some kind of "uncanny valley/artificial" vibe in this b/w version, you know this fake grittyness; but in color greaaat photo as always.

    • @joelgrimes
      @joelgrimes  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Damian! I love the grungy look. I think it comes from dodging and burning in the darkroom

      Seriously, Guy? Joel is absolutely a true talent, a hard working photographer for many years. People who stammer and search for words generally are very intelligent - their brains are going faster than their mouths can process the thoughts. Do your research on speech patterns before you make a judgement on others. Or even better, start your own TH-cam channel, and let’s see how you do.
