- Control the Light with the Amazing "Horizontal Curve" Technique in Photoshop! Discover the most natural way to adjust the brightness of any area without disturbing the colors, using a simple straight Curve.
In this tutorial, we will use a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer and combine with a Curves adjustment layer to create a "Light Map" that would allow us to control the amount of light all throughout the image. Hope this video helps. Thank you for watching :)

Hey guys! So what's the difference between this method and using a Curves Adjustment Layer with Luminosity Blend Mode?
First of all, thank you so much for your question. It's a great one, and I would have had the same if I were you. To know the difference, the best thing to do is this: Using the Horizontal Curve method shown in the video, move the points on the extreme left and right, up and down (as done in 11:32 on the extreme left). Then, do the same with just a Curves adjustment layer with Luminosity Blend Mode. You'll notice the difference straightaway of how subtle and natural this method is. However, if you are looking for something extreme and a little more manual control, you should go with Curves with Luminosity. There are hundreds of ways of doing the same thing in Photoshop, you need to find out what works for you :)
Best Wishes! And Keep Creating!

thanks for your response! best photoshop teacher ever :)
I did notice the difference right away, Unmesh. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge with us... ☺️
Thank you
Thank you very very much!!!! Best ever channel on youtube!!!
I came to comment section for this question and found the answer right away, i love your channel. Thank you!
Paid photoshop tutors must be really mad at you for what you're doing for all of us. Thank you so much!
Yeah, don't let his haircut fool you. His content is pretty substantive.
@@IllusionSector awesome :DD
110 paid photoshop tutors weren't happy with this tutorial
@@IllusionSector HAHAHAH!
Paid Photoshop tutors hate him! Click to find out this simple Photoshop trick that will make you a pro!
You're the math teacher that explains the building of the formula not the formula it self. Once you understand it you will know it for life! Thanks for your amazing work!
My photo is on the tutorial! Can't believe
Wonderful! I got this photo from pixabay/pexels, did you upload there?
PiXimperfect yep! I’m sharing most of my landscapes there :) your tutorials help me a lot on my portraits!
@personal confuser. Wow, what a hater, lol. He never claimed his photo was great.
@personal confuser., jealousy looks perfect on you.
I'm thinking that the lol at the end meant that he was kidding.
I taught photoshop classes for 3 years and I still learned something new from this video, namely the fact that adjustment layers are read by photoshop as virtual, dynamic copies of the layers below. it's an advanced, mostly negletable detail that does give some insight on how to create new effects. good job, man.
What i like the most about Unmesh is that he works on photoshop in ways it wasn't even meant for, and not only he shares his methods, he also explains everything in a detailed way, making him the best photoshop tutor there ever is, a lot of respect for you man.
Much respect for you brother. Loved the detailed explanation. 😍
Hii sirr.. Big fan
I just tried it out with a few photos of mine and it works great. Thanks a lot! You demonstrate once again who deserves to be named the master of Photoshop on TH-cam.
So happy to know it worked well for you! All the very best, and happy holidays!
The master of Photoshop. Fullstop 😂
@@Adriana.Gabriela I bet he is better than most Photographers/photo editors in business right now.
Unmesh, I have been a professional photographer for over 30 years and let me tell you, you are inspiration and knowledge personified! Please keep the great content coming I'm inspired and still learning every day. Thank You.
No one comes close to this guy with these tutorials
Edit: Jesus Christ guys thank you for the likes!!
Nobody. Hands down.

Okay, you’re seriously the most stylish and well spoken guy making the most thorough yet simple photoshop tutorials on TH-cam, hands down.
The way you demonstrate is amazing.
Your every tutorial video is full of great information...
I love how you said "That would be hectic" in the most soul calming tone of voice :D You rock!
Unmesh, not only are you a Photoshop guru, you're explaining everything so well! I understand all your tutorials and the concepts behind, but I could never teach anyone as perfectly as you do! And I'm sure no one has ever come close in teaching Photoshop, with concepts explained!
2 minutes in and I knew this was going to be my new favorite TH-cam channel for editing. Honestly...WOW!
Teacher in my photoshop class: What are you doing?
Me bringing this video out: Stuffs you never teach me but he does
I always wondered how I could use curves without affecting the colors. This is an absolute game changer! Liked and subscribed, love your tutorials!
You, my friend, are awesome.
Not only you are a true master of teaching... but you also should do tutorial on how to do tutorials...
Most of tutorials teach how to do things with photoshop.
You actually teach photoshop
Your tutorials are the best. Thanks for always keeping it short at the beginning before going into details.
Amazing. That whole virtual copy / adjustment layer thing blew my mind. Thank you!
Easily one of the best channels on youtube. I literally watch your tutorials when having breakfast and before i go to sleep
First time I see this. So much to learn, I love discovering new techniques like this. The explanation is very clear, the presentation pretty much perfect! Consider me subscribed!
You never cease to amaze me! My understanding and use of Photoshop have increased five fold since I discovered your channel. Kudos to you and a big "thank you" for sharing your knowledge and skill set!!
Every video you make blows my mind! You're a great teacher :)
I've learned a lot from you ❤️❤️❤️
Sir👍
That means a lot! Wishing you the best :)
@@PiXimperfect thnkuuu sooooo much sirrr💕
Best Photoshop TH-camr on Earth! Thanks for your amazing work. :-))
Came back to this a second time. I love curves! This is another useful way to use them! Thanks, Unmesh!
This is great. I've been working in PS for 18 years and I've never thought to do it this way. Thanks for your help, and let me say your presenting style is fabulous. Have a great day.
man you are a legend!
i dont think anyone in world can do a better tutorial than this guy...
love your tutorial
Each day more impressed with the depth with which you develop your techniques presented here and the clear way you explain that to lay people.
You are definitely one of the best Photoshop instructors. Thanks so much for another great and informative video!
Nice dude! I use curves on luminosity blend mode to edit brightness without effecting colours, but after a quick test this method actually preserves much more of the colours - where my original method actually de-saturated them slightly. Also the changes on soft light are more gradual so it feels more controlled.
LEGEND!
We can get to learn these techniques from other places too but the way you teach is commendable. So clear and the best part is you explain "Why?" along with "How?" which makes you better than the others. Keep up the good work Umesh !!
Useful info, concise delivery in well produced by videos. Great work.
Sir you are great 😊😊😊
YOU ARE GOOD DUDE
Thanks so much. Merry Christmas and Happy new year!
I didn't expect much but man you pulled out all the stops and seem to genuinely want to help others. Subscribed and will continue to follow you !
most helpful channel.
love from japan :)
Umesh will HIT 1m subscribers soon...we are waiting...luv U 😍😍
Really nice tip about the hue and saturation adjustment layer. Thank you for sharing!!
So many techniques in a single video! You are the best teacher, and your're giving it away on youtube! Thank you so much
I have tried all kinds of tutorials for learning Photoshop. Your's speak to the kinds of things I want to do to my photos. Your in depth explanations of the techniques is the best I have seen. I have learned more useful techniques from you than from any other source. Thanks! And BTW, your English elocution is incredible and your presentation is enjoyable. Some of us are a bit slower than you- do think you could run your before/after scenarios at about 25%? That would give us old folks time to absorb the change.
This is an amazing way of changing the luminosity without affecting the colors. Just a small thought I had while watching this video. Can I use this technique to locally dodge and burn the skin while retouching? This way I might not be affecting the local color hue changes and can only manipulate the skin luminosity. Please share your thoughts on this if you find it relevant.
Thanks for creating amazing videos for us.
I was just thinking about how to implement this technique, and you gave me the answer 🙌
I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop 5, I've been with several tutors and done some research of my own but you sir have taught me so much more in 6 months, you rock!!
Best and most clear tutorials I have ever watched !!!!
"Isn't that amazing?" -- I can only reply: "yes, it is!"...
10:50 This realization just blew my mind :O
Absolutely brilliant technique. Thanks!
Great tutorial. I also like how you explained everything early on and let everyone know before you went into a deeper explanation. Subbed.
merry christmas Photoshop Da Vinci
LOL! Merry Christmas, Gilbert!
0:16 "So without any further hair-do... let's get started..."
You just blew my mind with this tutorial. Thank you for the quick to the point tutorial and then the in depth explanation following it.
Simply a wonderful tip. As always, you are an inspiration. Best of the season and keep up the GREAT videos.
Superb 💞🌷🐦👍
Which Software you are using to highlight in the circle while recording?
It's an outdated software called "SwordSoft Mousetrack", I truly wish they update it. You can download it for free from their website.
@@PiXimperfect Thank you so much Sir 😘💞🌷
curves in luminosity blend and it's enouth to change britness without color change
Oof im late 11 months , but , yea i have the same opinion
This was exactly what I was going to say. This method is manual alternative and shows the concept behind it.
Not quite. It desatures the colors if you brighten something, and saturates them if you darken sth. Try doing both ways (his way, and luminosity way) at the same time, and compare the results
Another brilliant video, thank you. Packed full with information. Superb image to demonstrate with too.
Been using Photoshop for over 10 years, and this tip is in the top 5 workflows I've come across. Thank you!
What's the difference between doing it this way vs. using a curves adjustment with blending mode set to luminosity?
none
He answered this question a year ago
@@springrollwang4441 luminosity blend mode is more drastic in changes. less subtle and elegant.
can i ask u something, how to make the color of the edits on the laptop is the same when we move the file to the HP, thx u very much.
You just have to use "save as web"
thx u, ill try.
Thank you for this video. It's good to have you here in TH-cam.
Fantastic. Great teaching skills, great knowledge and great personality. Best Photoshop channel by far!
We can do this with another way.
Step 1:Alt+click on create new layer
Step 2:Change the mode to soft light
Step 3:Check the fill with soft light neutral color box
Viola!
Now you can use white brush on the newly created layer to brighten the image and black brush to darken.
You can also brighten or darken any color of the image by choosing the respective color brush.

Isn't it the same as if we were changing the curves' blending mode into luminance?
Ádám Zsiros the results this way are not as harsh. Just another tool in your box. I had the same question.
Unmesh, you're doing fantastic work! I have learned a lot from you tutorials, and still look for more and more. Simple, understandable. Thanks a lot for sharing that ! The more I understand the photoshop the more I like it. Thanks to you man! You rock !
You have an amazing amount of knowledge !!
Thanks for sharing!!
i don't understand what this technique exactly enables us to do. if you want to change tones without changing colors, simply create a curves adj. and change the blend mode to Luminosity.
you are still my fav. photoshop teacher though.
Was wondering the exact same thing...can someone explain why he uses this technique instead?
@@aasdf285 Need more content for more ad money and views. Also, looks cooler than just using luminosity.
Read some of the other comments. People of compare the difference and this way is a lot more subtle and smoother transitions. Doing it with the luminosity is harsher. Sometimes that’s fine, but sometimes it isn’t…
It's more natural-looking than luminosity 😌
More chance to get banding 😬
Dude srsly your eyebrowns haha 😂😂😂
COREL nothing wrong with embracing your natural appearance
i'm always so amazed while watching these videos, so good, great job!
Dope! Excellent tutorial, perfect format, well organized and informative!
Shieeet. Is it possible to use this techniqe in Premier Pro?
That's seriously a great idea, I'm yet to try it.
@@PiXimperfect Couse it will make colour grading of SLOG profiles sooo much easier.
I believe so, I think all you need is 2 Lumetri color effects on one clip and you're all set
⚠️ No colors were harmed during this tutorial! ⚠️
I was looking for such a method where you can just brighten a specific part of an image by clicking on that area.
And the way you did it was truely genious. Really love your vids specially the part where you teach the concept.
20-year Photoshop expert here, and you're still blowing my mind! Very smart and creative use of the toolsets.
50% of grey is 127,127,127 not 128, because 0 is calculated like first so last 225 is 256.
What's the middle of 0-3? 1 or 2? What's the middle of 0-255? 127 or 128?
@@Myntekt I told this already. We have 256 values of red and 256 values of green and 256 values of blue, first values is 0 and last is 255 (not 256) so math/half middle is 127/127/127.
yeah but 256 values is an even number, so the middle of 0-255 is actually 127.5 . 128 numbers from 0-127 and 128-255
just dont care. the impact on image is very small.
Meaning there is no 50% gray. It's really between them :P
Just one comment.
Who are these 13 people giving Thumbs Down to this video?
Paid photoshop tutors
nyc Cameraman maybe the downers are trying to use Gimp 🙄
Haters lol
They were holding their phones upside-down.
His ex-gf
So glad I came accross your channel. Love it! Keep it up
My favorite things about your videos is they explain why things work, how they work, and then at the end you summarize which helps me actually learn it
Thanks for the video.
You look like a CG character for some reason. Something is very uncanny... Plastic surgery? Weird Framerate? Lighting issues? Filter on the camera? Combination of all of them? Weird...
I thought he looked like an anonymous mask.
Totally agree! It's such an akward effect, can't stop looking at his tshirt!
I think he's using a green screen
Best Photoshop channel no doubt, very informative and short tutorials
