► Hi, Family :) I'd love to have you join me for a Free Live Photoshop Workshop with Nas Academy, where you'll discover hidden Photoshop tricks and techniques that you're probably missing out on! You can register here: pix.live/nas, and you don't have to pay anything anywhere. I can't wait to see you in class; thank you so much for your support!
NAS!!!! I love that guy!
What if you have done some selective color manipulation in lightroom before doing this? Wouldn't that create an issue where you would be getting conflicting measurements? Maybe you set you midtowns cooler or warmer but not the white point/black point or any combination. I am trying to figure out my workflow. What to do in lightroom versus photoshop and in what order. Would love to see you do a full walkthrough on your workflow when editing a photo. basic editing, exposure, color grading, sharpening...
can you make some tutorials like instagram fashion influencers does like vintage , polaroid or disposable camera effects without those camera. You know these days people really like to see those kind of effects like the influencers make on Instagram. On youtube its just someone create a presets but its dosent fit on our photos. We want to recreate those effects using photoshop or lightroom>>>>>>>>>>>> You know what I mean! DISPOSABLE OR VINTAGE OR POLAROID . I WOULD PREFER CREATE DISPOSABLE EFFECTS. ON your youtube playlist there is no tutorial like those. I think it's time to create some unworthy but I think thats what people really want to make or atleast get more closer to those effects. I think your best explanation & technics will help it for sure. Do think about it.

Thank you always for explaining do-it-yourself methods before explaining automatic methods. This way we know what we're doing, and there's a time and place for each method. And thank you for your opening words because it's good to be reminded that we can all help one another.
Thank you, Mark! Truly appreciate your support, and yes, thanks for being active in the Patreon group!
Exactly what I wanted to say
The Bob Ross of digital arts.
I haven't been really motivated to work on my photography anymore but you make me feel better with your videos and I really appreciate it! 🌻
same here brother but we got this :)
Hi, Esvin! I'm sorry you feel that way, and from time to time, I go through the same feelings when it comes to working. One of the things that helped me was knowing that it's much better to let your actions control how you feel vs. the other way round. All the very best :)
@@PiXimperfect Thank you for your comment, you inspired me to be better!
@@NovitecGG Been going through the same thing, but recently I've felt a bit of inspiration returning after having a glimpse emotionally of that early excitement of picking up a camera, experimenting, and feeling the joy of the hunt where you lose yourself in the moment. I hope that might make sense to you as well. Best
This is what I like with Unmesh - he will not show everything just to have a finished project. But instead, he will teach you detail by detail until you understand the concept behind it. This will definitely open doors that ignite creativity of individual editors. Thank you so much! Sending strength from Philippines
I greatly appreciate how you take your time explaining things done manually to make people learning understand rather than just point out the short cut to provided automatic function.
Perhaps a useful tip. While selecting the white or black dropper from the curves adjustment layer, you kan press ALT to highlight the most bright/darkest part of an image. This way you don't have to create identification for the black and white points if you're doing it manually.
You are such an incredible teacher. Knowing all of this is one thing, but your communication methods are an entirely separate and impressive skillset.
Honestly, the quality and usefulness of your content is unbelievable. Thank you for all the work you put in.
I hope one day you will start share with us your experience in other programs or fields away from photoshop, I'm sure it will be as perfect as your photoshop content. And many thanks for what you're offering to us, keep up the awesome work! ❤️
I do photoshop for a living, designing for the film studios and yet every one of your lessons has something that teaches me. You have a stunning encyclopedic knowledge of the program
Unmesh, I struggle with depression and finding a creative voice through my photography & Photoshop is my therapy. You bring a joy to your channel, and your content never fails to help me feel better. Thank you & have a wonderful day!
ADMIN HERE: Sending you uplifting energy and thoughts. Your words are so greatly appreciated as they uplift Unmesh too.
@@Cre8tiveWoman Thank you.
That's great to hear!
Keep creating, Erin. I'm planning to get into serious photography soon. Hope to see you around in future Pixe perfect videos. Take care. 🌻
Art is, for me as well, a world I can get deeply involved in - and learning new things is always uplifting for me. Unmesh's tutorials are so clear and understandable, they open new avenues for self-expression, which is SO positive. Erin, keep on creating!!!!!
You tutorials are so high quality! I honestly can't watch any other tutorials after watching yours. Thank you so much for creating these free contents for everyone to learn!
This feels much more precise compared to the color cast trick I have been using by sampling the color of the area which should have been close to white, making a solid color layer of it, and set it to divide. Making a few saturation etc. corrections after that. Especially the automatic option, which I did not know it existed, amazed me. Thank you for your great insights into the wonderful world of Photoshop as always.
An amazing teacher who leaves nothing out of any explanation but processed logically and relatively.
Absolutely stunning! Such a detailed tutorial! Love the fact that you explain both scientific AND automatic methods! 😍
Gotta tell you I've been working with this for almost 20 years now and am still learning with you. Thank you so much for your work.
Thanks! I stumbled on this by accident (I process astrophotography with Photoshop) and found new tricks I didn't know about - sliding the curves range to find black, white and grey points. Brilliant! And yes, giving the background on how to get there is much appreciated. I'll be back!
These tutorials keep blowing me away even after years of using photoshop
As always...awe-inspiring! I'm sure that you've forgotten more about PS than most people know! Thanks for sharing and teaching...always a great way to start the day!
I've been a graphic artist for 20+ years and I learn some new twist on PS every time I watch! Thank you for this!
A pure masterpiece ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I learnt everything about photoshop from you and now I professionally edit photos and work as a editor ❤️
You are my mentor ❤️❤️
You do such fantastic tutorials!!!! Love the amount of detail and explanation you include, and you still manage to make it seem so simple!!!! Absolutely brilliant! Thankyou
You are SO good...I learn so much every time I watch your videos...and I've been an editor for 45 years! Thanks so much for everything you do!
you never are out of ideas and somehow you always manage to amaze me. thank you for your amazing work, again, 100 times.
you left me gaping like a fish! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, what a brilliant video
So far I have tested both the manual method with two of my images. Both looked better as opposed to the automatic method. Thanks!
Dude, this is genuinely one of the most impressive and short tutorials I've ever experienced. Thank you.
This is the first tutorial I've watched of yours and I've already subscribed. Excellent teaching style, I love knowing what goes on behind-the-scenes of an automatic process so I can fine-tune it myself. Thanks for the excellent tutorial! 😄
I have plenty of scans that i felt overwhelmed of thinking of fixing manually, that this process makes me feel relieved, like i can finally make those older photos look properly.
Your short introduction talk cheered me up already.
I don't comment often but I was very impressed with your teaching style and straightforward way of explaining. Nicely done!
One of your best! Understanding how and why makes the auto-method so much more powerful!! Thank you!
this tutorial is gold. both full of information and short. awesome job, thank you!
Very good. I’ve been using a similar technique for years but I use Threshold to fine my black point and white point.
Damn, this was incredible. It felt like magic, when the black, white and grey-points are set. I was really struggling with a picture of a gray-ish cat and some skintones, shot at a difficult light situation. It is somehow a bit time-consuming, but for difficult situations that cannot be handled in LR it is perfect. You are really a big help for my editing skills with PS. tbh, PS is not that beginner friendly 😑 but your videos are really helpful, as you always explain even the small steps, that are not obvious for beginners.
While explaining every detail, your videos are still not too long for ppl that know most of the basic steps, while beginners can still pause or repeat some steps. Thank you man.
I really appreciate the explanation behind this technique! Much more insightful than just the direct solution!
You are right about showing us how to do this manually. You get way more creative control and sometimes auto white balance doesn't always look pleasing to the artist
I remember back in the day using a threshold layer to find those same points which I think was faster and easier.. Thanks for the video.
Usually I kinda lazy to left trace or comment on tutorial video, but Unmesh's tutorial is different. Not just only like and subs + bell that I left, I saved his you tube video in my PC in a photoshop tutorial folder so I can rewatch and manage it based on category, and also become his patron in patreon (although only 1$ [hope I'll upgrade it in future]) it is worth it. I just want to Unmesh know that this is maybe the highest appreciation that I can give to him.Thank you for your effort and dedication of creating amazing tutorial video.
THANK YOU -- You are a true Master! This CRAZY HELPFUL.
Seriously, your videos have saved me hundreds of hours of time and frustration over the years.
now i can finally share what i want to see at the moment to people.
i always play with an unrealistic tones of colour, but that's what id like to see at the moment.
thankyou
I have learned more about Photoshop from you than from any other instructor. Thank you.
Love watching your videos, I always learn something new. Also I really like your positive energy that you bring into every video.
Excellent video, I apply your recommendations to scanned film negatives and it’s perfect.
In few steps I can have a usable photo without color cast.
Thank you.
wow, im very impressed how you explained it so well and easy to execute. thank you so much!
U are the reason People like me got so good in Editing with PS, just from watching these Tutorials also i think u had some Bad Times recently but u still keep creating these Amazing contents, Thank you so much for all the Work u invest to make us Grow all these years :)
I really can't say how awesome your channel is. You made my life so much easier for years. thank you man!
you never cease to amaze me, thank you very much for giving us so many techniques
Man, Believe me you are the best Photoshop teacher in the world! Thanks for everything!
I am glad you exist brother, thank you for making these videos for many of us to learn photoshop without paying hefty fees as you might have.
So many old photos that I’m trying to fix for my children .. you are elevating my skills. Thank you
I can’t believe I have never seen this technique before. Great tips. Thanks
For me with green road it was more cinematic. In my colorgrading, on the contrary, I try to make such a nice beackground shade:) And also in this image this forms a complimentary teal - orange pattern with skin. But I understand that in the video this is a demonstration of the possibilities, so thanks for the excellent technique, didnt use this before!
This one was like a thriller to find the fourth point...Thank you Unmesh.. Bravo 😊👌👌
Wow so helpful and easy to understand and follow along. I'm trying to color correct a stone wall and the gray keeps going too yellow or too blue when printed. Hoping this technique will help me figure this out.
Thank you so much. You always deliver really great tutorials and content.
Fantastic tutorial - this helped so much. Subscribed.
your voice is so soothing to the soul mister and thank you for wonderful tutorial
Sir, for me, you are the best teacher ever. Thank you so much.
Your videos are always something new and worth learning.Your videos always help me.
Absolutely brilliant Unmesh as always. Thanks for everything 😊
Your tutorials are amazing! Many thanks for all the techniques you cover.
I had a lot of fun watching this video! I was excited to know what is the fourth point and was highly engaged throughout the entire video, and a lot of 'aha' moments for me!
Oh man Unmesh-bhai it's been a hot minute since I've watched your videos. Came back to the channel to check for something else and decided to watch this one. Your presentation keeps getting better with each successive tutorial. Fantastic stuff mate. Keep 'em coming and here's hoping we get to meet up if you're ever in my part of the country. Have a killer weekend.
The most motivated and easy to understand tutorial I have heard in last 10 years. I don't have Photoshop though.
Hope everyone is having a great day! Thanks for the valuable tips, as always!
You are the best expert on the whole Internet hands down. Tim in Dublin Ireland
Congratulations! You have a talent to explain clearly the concepts. Thank you very much.
It's amazing how just in 15 minutes you brought me to a whole new world
Thanks a lot for your amazing explanation & high-quality editing! :)

I don't know why this appeared on my recommendations, but I'm so glad it did! Thank you for this awesome tutorial, and also first explaining why it works before showing us the automatic option.

Thank you so much! I learned a lot and you are very articulate in your tutorials. Big thumbs up
You channel is a magical treat for anyone whos learning!! Thank you very much! ❤💚💙🌹👍
We had an old burnt out photograph that I managed to (somewhat) restore manually :) Thanks for the video!
I always said to one day try to make post-prod work with my film photos. but yeah now, you really motivated me, that was a clear and yet precise video, thank you !!
thanks a lot, , great master class, it had never been explained to me in such a simple and clear way
No one teaches photoshop as you do in entire TH-cam community, Thank you Unmesh!
Thank you so much..it was very very helpful !!
I was trying to do color correction and this I must say helped me to go One step further....💜👀
This video is so helpful
I feel Photoshop is complicated with due regard to your superior teaching skill.
great video, thank you!
Coming across your video is like opening a new world! Thank you so much for this!!
I love how you make learning an experience . Nice way to teach us! Greetings from Brazil
This is an excellent and quick summary on color correction. Thank you, Unmesh!
Hello. Good job! I like your tutorials For these pictures I also tried "Auto Tone" / "Auto contrast" / "Auto color", and they work ok too.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this 😊🙏
Yay! A new episode of ‘The Joy of Photoshop’! 😃
Another great one thanks Unmesh!
Haha! Thanks, CynikTG! That's a great title for a show!
You're genius! So cool explanation: easy for listening, clear and informative!
With the help of your movie, I've learned a lot more. Thank you so much!!!
That auto-option was a mind blowing! Thanks!
One of the things I love most about Photoshop is having you in it
What I mean is I like photoshop more because of you
Thank you so much for this tutorial, this is so interesting and helpful! 💛
Thank you. Wow you really know Photoshop so well and your videos are really helpful. I have learned so much from your explanations and instructions.
Glad you showed the Manual method. I compared the Automatic to the Manual. I felt like the Manual on my picture was just a little better, BUT when I left both on I had really good skin tones and better contrast and saturation without adjusting further. Go figure.
Much appreciated 🙏
you're one of the people I truly respect and I love your channel , wish you best of luck, much love ❤
