Hard Light Effects in Photoshop - (PSD Box)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- This is the first live tutorial I recorded so I had no idea what I will end up with. Basically I wanted to show how to get a high contrast hard light effect in Photoshop, almost HDR looking. I wanted to keep things realistic so I used the contrast masking technique to keep the original shadows of the model.

Wow, so the first time I watched this video, I was just beginning to use Photoshop. But now that I am an intermediate user and can understand about 87% of what he is saying, I appreciate it even more. All the little tips Mr. Oprinca gives along the way are priceless. So, I imagine when I watch this again in a couple of years down the road, I will really get it. Thanks Mr. Oprinca!
Simply fantastic tutorial. It's great to see the process you go through instead of instantly seeing the perfect steps to the final image. I think this type of tutorial is infinitely more helpful.
OMG one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Super simple stuff used in the best possible ways and ending up with a spectacular result. The genius on how to keep the exact shadow alone blew my mind.
I love how you make these professional and in-depth tutorials. They might not be good for beginners, but they are definitely the best for intermediate users. Keep up the good work. I hope you never take them down.
Been looking for 3 years for a video like this!!! thanks man
I just came across your tutorials today and I cannot believe I've been missing out on so much good photoshop content for so long. Please keep making tutorials because you are amazing at this!
I've read many compositing books from the big names and they did not have these great techniques on shadows.. Great job. Thanks!
Absolutely amazing tutorials. Can't tell you how grateful I am to learn so much for your videos
Nice. I'll show this to my students. I like that you do several things here, not just tweaking tones. This is real compositing.
you are amazing, not just to work in photoshop but to upload this tutorial, thnx man
I love this style of live experimentation. Some commentators complained about length, but as an intermediate to advanced user, I find it useful to see how you try different techniques to achieve similar effects, and then discard the ones that weren't successful.
Funny thing is... one of the most useful parts of the whole tutorial for me was the shift-drag layer clone to a second file tab! I always have to rt-click on the layer and duplicate... tedious!
Amazing what you can do with photoshop,this looks absolutely astonishing and REAL!!
i would have never guessed that the raper was not in the same photo,it looks obviously photoshoped but not to that degree he did!!
Thanks i cant wait to play with my photos .
Mult succes pe vitor, Andrei! Apreciez mult ceea ce faci... si asta nu numai eu, ci multi altii! Tine-o tot asa! :)
Thx Andrei. Great lesson, I learned so much just by watching you make choices.
