These variables might seem to control the same thing, but in reality, they are very different in several circumstances explained in this lesson. Whether as brush properties or layer properties, let's dive deep into the battle of three intensities using a sketch pen and a couple of papers!

    I've been using Photoshop for 16 years and I still find your "back to the basics" explanations to be EXTREMELY informative. I mostly learned Photoshop from just playing with the tools and eyeballing the results but actually understanding the PRINCIPLES of these tools have really improved my editing. I think a lot of people (myself included, for a long time) would use flow and opacity interchangeably. Also, I recently watched your video on channel mixers, and I finally understand how to use the tool effectively and it's quickly become my go-to adjustment layer for color grading. Thank you for these incredible tutorials!

  • @youngcaptainkeos2133
    @youngcaptainkeos2133 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    omg, i have been searching this same line up multiple times, but no one explained opacity as well as you because I would make a brush stroke and another brush stroke and wonder why it got darker. now I know it is because it acts as if it were applied on top of each other. this is honestly very helpful. thank you !!!

    It's pretty hard to nail down why I love your videos so much.
    But here are a few things: The exceptional video quality, the audio quality + your voice, your charisma, the concise way you explain things while still containing enough details, the way you explain CONCEPTS first before explaining the features and the overall pacing of your videos. Much love!
