What frustrates me about your videos is that they aren't more popular. You have great presentation skills and the perfect voice/demeanor for this type of instruction. Your shadow creation method had me "wow" out loud. Thank you and keep it up.
Ha! I never thought to consider the actual pronunciation. I have heard both. I think I must default to the other because I think of the pronunciation of 'opaque'.
This rocked it for me. I now know why my shadows were just not quite right. I'm not at your level but I will continue to practice. The whole using the color of the surroundings did not occur to me. Though I had started to learn about the geometry, this really hit home. Thank you again.
Excellent. These are the things that sometimes we overlooked and that can be a different between a so and so composite versus a real good one. Thanks for taking your time making those videos.
Please, please, please link the image you are using so we can follow along easily. I have been taking screen grabs which are not as high quality or using other images that don't work as well.
For this technique, since the tree shadow is already a combination of the sand and sky color, blending with the shadow burn layer would likely bias too much to the sand hue. However, to your point, one could mask a copy of the existing shadow (depending on the surface).

I appreciate the redirection in this comment :) I'm glad that my teaching style resonates with how you learn. Thanks for the feedback.
Pretty Ok some things look, as you say, could be improved, but great and useful
"Opacity" rhymes with "capacity". Great tutorial, very easy to follow.

No problem, glad it was helpful.
That was awesome!!

You're very welcome!
This is a phenomenal help to me. Thank you for taking time to make these videos.

Brilliant! Great post!
Thank you for this again exceptionally clear workshop. Critical note: The girl is much too tall and she has the wrong shoes on.

Yet another great video. Out of interest, why didn't you use the colour/shade of the existing shadows from the trees?
