I wouldn't be surprised if he spent his days trying to break Photoshop and then figuring out how to fix it. Is there something he doesn't know about the program? Like damn dude, mad respect.
I agree man!
I have a feeling the Adobe's team contacts him looking for guidance.
Well damn, 15+ years of professional Photoshop experience and I just learned there's a smoothness slider.
I wonder if there is a way to set smoothness to zero by default under some preference tab. This would make it easier in the sense this would be used more often and you don't have to worry about changing it.
@@rondeldebbio9219 He creado una acción para un degradado al 50% de suavidad y funciona solo para ése y nada más.
unmesh's hair and beard are absolutely perfect
also love his style and his look...a very pleasant person and the greatest teacher I have never met!!
@@francequirion9547 Well you haven't met!
Thats why they call em piximperfect

Ok so I've been using Photoshop for the past 4 years, I never discovered this channel until the last few months. I desperately tried to search up tutorials to learn Photoshop. It's safe to say that I have learnt more in the past 3 months from this channel than I have done in my entire 3 and a half year of using Photoshop.
Oh wow. This explains so much of what I’ve been seeing when using GMaps to match colour grading. Thanks!
This Guys way of explaining is LIT!!😍😘
You are such a great teacher, thank you for all of the great content. Take care!
What I love about you is the fact you provide the science and mechanics behind each technique.
FIXED!!! I was wondering why my custom gradient maps were not accurate in my b&w to color conversions . Thank you so very much!
I actually had realized this, when I was applying the random gradient map as you showed on a previous video when I tried since I reactivated my adobe, it didn't give a great result and I played with the smoothness button and this is when I realize that it used to not be defaulted like this before. But it's great that you explained it, cause sometimes when photoshop made the update , it's confusing to adjust and know what to do when things don't work the same.
Helpful, thanks! I don't use Gradient Map often so I never noticed what the Smoothness setting did.
I think i have saved every one of your videos to my photoshop tutes folder on TH-cam. You never cease to amaze me.
Another great vid, Unmesh! Thank you so much! Stay safe and healthy!
Well done, I noticed this when using the MBP colourmaps plugin but I assumed I was wrong..now I know how to adjust it , thanks.
very thank you for make this video, I just got to know what is gradient map and bump up some idea for using it in my work.
Fantastic explanation, I haven't changed the smoothness in the past, but will be trying it from now
That is something new I have learned today...sending a shout -out all the way from Kenya
That was fascinating. Thank you so much! Love the outro music.
👏👏👏👏👏. I like your way when you explain anything ( slowly ).Thanks a lot
very useful knowledge..Thanks a lot Umesh
Hands down you are the best teacher for photoshop I’ve ever seen outstanding with what you do.
He's the best teacher on TH-cam, period.
Ayy this is super helpful; I've been playing with painting in greyscale and then converting to color with adjustment layers and gradient maps always frustrated me because of the added contrast; now I know why!
This was great. I'm a very experienced PS user (got in at CS2) and even teach it sometimes, and this was totally under my radar. Very, very useful! Thanks!
Unmesh is no longer analyzing the program, he's moving more and more toward a scientific level of analyzation
Memo: We went over to analysis instead of analyzation commencing with the 20th century. ;-)
he's evolving
Nice tips, it's really helpful for us...
Simple but oh so useful! Thankyou - this has often foxed me.
I would do anything to have a tutor like this. Excellent
From look to Talent.... Unmesh sir have it all ❤️😍 this video is so helpful to me. Thanku ❤️
Great tip! Your explanations are excellent.
It's not faulty, it's just that it is very exact. The reason the gradient changed is because you started a few pixels away from the very edge of your artboard and the absolute black is dragged a little bit inwards. You have to be very precise so it won't change. The reason the image (the girl with the beanie) changed is simplier, the original photo's black is not absolute black, it's dark gray, same for white, gray, almost white. You have to check the darkest and brightest points on your images to have the best results. Photos rarely contain absolute black or absolute white.
yup i thought the same thing. we can check it using the histogram to see if there are pure black and white.
Another awesome tutorial Unmesh.
I love when you finding this functions which always were there, but no one noticed, have you done some video about calculations? Or maybe distribute along path pattern (it's also less known, but can look really cool cause distributing path allows using drop shadow so one object cast shadow at previous)?
Thank you so much I really learned a lot from your video and it rwally inspire me to push forward in editing.
Excelente explicação, muito claro. Grato pela ajuda.
Amazing man loved your teaching process 😊
Very well defined gradient map... Love all your video Unmesh sir.😍😍😍 Can you please say is there any of your video regarding "threshold"?
Unmesh, you are a legend. Thank you for making the complex mathematical algorithms behind photoshop, understandable.
Fascinating information Unmesh!
Haven't missed any of the video since the day I subscribed. 😊 ♥️

Don't really need to watch... but you are such a good teacher it's worth a listen.
You are watching
Never thought about it, thank you and indeed very useful!
Bugged my mind at first until you explain.
This one is very interesting.
Wow, I just discovered that the gradient mapping wasn't exact last week and couldn't find anyone explaining why or how to fix it. Then this popped up in my feed and solved the problem! Thanks!
All of your tutorials is so inspiring thankyou sir
Man.. i always wondered why my colors came out odd sometimes when i used the gradient map. Never knew that the culprit was in the same window!
I didn’t know it.It's really wow content.I learn it and a lot of love and ThanKs to you.
Inspiration you're tutorials😍
Very educative indeed!
You are the best Mr.
Good look .Thank you so very much!
The Best ... Always brings something new !
I have wondered how the "smoothness" effected the gradient - Thanks !
Thanks for sharing knowledge.
Thank you bro for your videos it`s very helpful for us🤗
This thumbnail is enough for me to watch your video....because here is you.....not any model.....❤️❤️
I learn something new from every video. Thank you!
Excellent and very informative, you are the man.
Thank for you effort , It is useful tutorial
You can use ctrl+shift+u (or Image>Adjustments>Desaturate) to remove color from the image.
Wow -- Tremendous Unmesh! Thank you so much!
I wish there was a FULL Photoshop guide of yours from "Start to Finish(all tutorials)" at one place. You are no doubt the best TEACHER in this Industry for EDITING but whenever I watch your video, I feel that my mind is congested. I know I am asking too much but PLEASE try to make tutorials from BEGINNING to END like a Master class at ONE PLACE. There are many like me who have been eagerly waiting to learn in an organized way. We need people like you and instead of we being half-knowledged, we could put everything behind and gather at one place and learn your lessons in a disciplined fashion. You already are a ONE of a KIND, the Bruce Lee of Photoshop, a true GEM and I am sure you will become the rarest for most of us in no time :)

Simple and sensational explanation 👌🏻
I have started to watch less Photoshop tutorials over the years, mainly because I started to watch more of Unmesh's videos. One source for all of your Photoshop needs. Thanks man.
Excellent! Thanks a lot.
Dear Unmesh, this really great study of gradient mask. Very nice and very useful tips thanks for sharing your knowledge all the way down ....cheers:)
useful technic for shadows and highlight , thanks dude
Really helpful...
Sir I want you to make another video on Adobe colour wheel with more informations.
Hi Unmesh,I am following your channel since couple of months finding very informative and helpful.This is my first comment, I have subscribed almost 8 -12 other channels to improve my graphics designing skills.i was really surprised that one Pakistani youtuber(Gfxmentor) was saying about your channel lot of good things and review and all.after that I subscribed your channel.i think the name of your channel piximperfect missed out because I
Alwayas search the keyword graphic designing that's why TH-cam doesn't recommend your channel.i really like your work and visualization and teaching skills.keep up the good work.👌👌👌👍👍👍
This is definitely interesting. Thanks a lot!
PiXimperfect is the best channel to learn Photoshop.💓💓💓💓😄
No Filler. Great useful content as usual. Thanks for sharing.
thanks you sir for your teaching of Photoshop
Thank you very much for your explanation Sir
Thank you boss . great class
Helpful video 😍
Dude, you’re a genius!
Well i'm very thankful you putting these videos out. But can you do a video where we can use an overlay for a video (not streaming) irrespective of length. Thank you in advance.
sencillo y genial... gracias
here is the result of his early study of photoshop. I watched one of your interviews, so you are very good at photoshop. I thought at first that you are one of the makers of this unique software. Thanks for your tutorials, because I am one of those you helped.
Never mind the most excellent technical inspiration of your videos…your hair is becoming AMAZING!
Thanks a lot!
In addition to putting the Smoothing control at 0 (Gradient Editor), try changing the "Method" drop down from "Pereptual" to "Classic" (Gradcient Properties). I find that gives a better B&W starting point. Alternately, try "Linear" in the Method drop down (Properties) and different Smoothing settings (Editor).
thank you so much. i just needed to learn what the gradient map does, even tho thats not what this video is about.
really nice, thank you very much!
Awesome!! Perfection!! Wise beyond words.
I use a black-and-white gradient all the time to add contrast instead of a traditional curve layer. Then, I adjust the opacity slider to set the amount. If it's a color image I change the blending mode from normal to luminosity to bring back the color.
This is very interesting!
I had noticed the change, but not why it happened, thank you very much Unmesh! 😀☕️
Man, gradient maps are my favs when I am having fun with Photoshop and I haven't thought about smoothness before. Now I feel enlightened XD
...simply and awesome tip bro!
✨👌😎🤩😎👍✨
Thanks a lot, I was never aware of this property.......
Estoy seguro que Unmesh creará su propio software muy pronto. Está muy cerca de lograrlo. Gracias Unmesh 😉👍
Very cool thank you
amazing work my dear
Great tip!
