You see...this is why he's great. I came here to learn about a simple effect. He legit gave a color theory lesson. It was never explained to me like this in school or anywhere else. Wow dude.
The color theory section just blew my mind. I had never thought about how the colors implement with the technology that we view it on. Super dope. Please add in more theory sections in future uploads if you can!
Your tutorials seems like they come from a different reality man, I can see what you show, I can follow it, I can understand it, etc. the delivery on the subject is always great... What I can`t do is find out where your process originates, where is it come from, and how you get to the techniques that you show, is way over my head. So then I realize(I`m also very clever) that you come from a different planet, In a parallel dimension from a multiverse neighboring this one, and you are just visiting the rest of us, simple primitive photoshopers, and sharing your wisdom in order to take us out of the dark ages we reside on, away from our dreadful ways and inelegant poorly crafted photoshop solutions. Then everything makes sense. The simple explanations are always best ones. No other possible explanation fit, I try them all. Thanks man, I love your channel and your tutorials are in a totally different level, on a league of your own . Have a great day, stay safe and thank you again. Keep them coming please...!
Oh man, that's so cool. Honestly, putting together the tutorials gives me a reason to sit and think and refine those things you stumble on while working, then boil them down into as concrete of a solution as I can. I've got folders full of stuff that I think would be cool, but it's still vague - so I end up coming back to things over and over trying to figure out if there's a key to it. It’s really rewarding when I see a texturelabs tag on instagram and someone has nailed one of the videos (even if I sometimes only have time for a thumbs up). So ya, couldn’t do it without y’all! Cheers and thank you
@@Texturelabs Your tutorials are amazing man, I seen people commenting that in your videos all the time, we all recognize it, your material really is in different level. For the ones that are always learning and trying to improve, finding your channel is a big surprise, you show us that there`s a totally different way of thinking and working with all of this, not just recipes. Thanks again man, great work. Have a great day...! Waiting for the next one.
Mate this must be one of the best tutorials I've seen. So simple and effective. I've used gradient maps A LOT but I've never been able to achieve the same saturation. Thank you for this. And the RGB/CMY tidbit was so helpful!!!
Your tutorials are always so clean and easy to follow. I really wish you could do a tutorial on applying textures to shapes to make them seem three-dimensional (e.g. a photo-realistic gold outline around an object) without actually using the 3D interface in Photoshop.
Cool thanks. Definitely... I actually keep coming back to that concept in my ideas folder... there are a handful of hacks and tricks for that 3d look, but I keep hoping I'm gonna land on the perfect solution. I might have to do like a top 5 methods video, something like that. Cheers!
@@Texturelabs You're tutorials are so good, there are so few channels that cover advanced and clever methods like the ones you use. My favorite youtube tutorial channel
This is an excellent channel. The way you label each step and leave it on the screen makes it really easy to follow your process, even if it gets complicated and is an inspired way to teach. You definitely have that teaching gene 👨🏫
What a simple yet great method, I'll definitely use it! Just one detail I must point out: the "real" primary colors are, in fact RGB, since those are the colors our eyes see. All the rest is an illusion! CMY are the "paint primaries" merely because pigments work by absorbing light; a yellow pigment absorbs blue light, while red and green lights bounce back and so we see yellow. So, in the end, CMY is also RGB, but absorbing instead of emitting!
Ah yup that's an interesting way to look at it, based on the RGB receptors in the eyes - I don't know if I would necessarily say the additive set is more "real" than the subtractive, but in the case of our monitors, that certainly is a more accurate way to look at it. I probably shouldn't have used the word "real" at all! My idea was to make that distinction between CMY and the more common RYB. anyways, fun stuff, cheers
When we were kids we were taught that the primary colors are Blue & Yellow & Red meaning you can mix those 3 colors together to make any other color which are LIES and sadly is still being taught everywhere to this day. Children are taught a system of color that is founded on misinformation that has been passed down for hundreds of years even thought we now know scientifically know how color works. It's hard to have faith in our education system when we can't even teach children the primary colors. You make Red by mixing Yellow and Magenta & you make Blue by mixing Cyan and Magenta so there is no way that Blue and Red are primary colors. RGB is used in TVs and monitors because we have RGB cones in our eyes and we can trick our brains into seeing colors that are not there and creating a color that does not exist. Printers cannot do this so they need to use the true primary colors which is why they use Cyan, Magenta and Yellow and do not use Red, Green and Blue. If you look at a lemon it looks Yellow. But we don't have Yellow cones so what's going on? Eyeball tricks. If something makes both your Red & Green cones go off, your brain will think it is something between that which would be Yellow so we see Yellow. If something makes both your Green & Blue cones fire your brain will think it must be something between that which would be Cyan so we see Cyan. If something makes both your Blue & Red cones fire your brain will think it must be something between that which would be Green.. but it can't be Green because your Green cones are not firing so your brain CREATES Magenta so we see Magenta even though it does not exist.
@@JeffVanRooy RGB and CMY are the same thing; CMY absorbs RGB light. But it's not wrong teaching kids that RYB are primaries. That's the cultural baseline, and still today color harmonies are constructed over RYB color circles, because from centuries of considering those as primaries we are conditioned to find beauty in harmonies that work around this knowledge. If you color any layout using harmonies based on an RGB circle, it'll just look off, because that's not what we're used to see as visually pleasant.
@@JeffVanRooy Explain to me, then: why are the RGB secondary colors magenta, cyan and yellow, while the CMY secondaries are red, blue and green? Do you think it's just a coincidence? Also: why isn't red, blue and green a triad according to color theory, but red, blue and yellow is?
I always love your tutorials which are easy to follow and always very instructive on photoshop tools that we forget to use sometimes. I would be curious to know your method to reduce the number of colors in an image on photoshop. For example reduce to 4 or 6 colors a picture without denaturing too much the original colors. Anyway, thanks again for all these tutorials.
enjoyed it as always... idea for the future of you're not already overloaded. you've got wood, chrome, gold, stone, ink /printing fx. I'd love a detailed glass effect. something with multiple layers to fine tune base color, bevel depth, highlights, maybe with faux distortion /magnification and caustics? a way to make a gem or crystal with realistic looking internal reflections?
Hahaha uhhh yup that's exactly what it was. I made a mental note to punch in the audio for that part, but totally forgot! That's what happens when I review things with the laptop speakers....
Wow good stuff as always! Any idea why cyan, magenta and yellow aren’t compensated to 66% (or so) brightness in the color wheel more often? That wouldn’t use the most of our pixels, but it would give us more even color wheel, as a mode at least.
I have a question and you are the most pro photoshop user I've laid my eyes open. Is there a way to create a selection of pixel groups ( I like to call them islands) that are less than a certain minimum width? What my problem is: I have artwork with lots of noise and grunge, my printer requires a .35mm line width thickness to print. They add a stroke to all the artwork when there is areas of less than .35mm but I don't want this. I would rather select everything that is less than .35mm line width and just delete it. Is there a way to do this programmatically?
Hey there, not sure if this comment will be seen. But I have copied the steps up untill the polygonal tool. When I use shift+ctrl+i as stated in the video and have the gradient mask selected it will not turn the selection inversed. I used polygonal too then clicked gradient mask and used inverse command then deselect, but when I use ctrl+j it just copies the whole gradient as oppposed to the part I have selected and inversed. Is there perhaps something I'm doing wrong as I've followed the steps exactly. Someone please help!

This man is on another level! Never fails to teach me something new whenever I watch one of his videos.
Thanks man, appreciate that!
I love the extra science element to your videos. It's so valuable to know the "why" not just the "how".
Best PS tutorials on TH-cam. Keep them coming!

Came for photoshop lession, got a colour theory lecture, never dissappointing, love your videos.
Thanks! Ha, ya, gotta allow myself to go on a tangent every once in a while...
The way you explain the color theory is awesome and totally unique. Thanks for sharing. ❤️ As usual legend of Photoshop 🙌🏻
Thank you Bhavin, much appreciated!
Been doing design work using this approach. Seeing this video makes me feel good for knowing something for once lol

Super informative. I love how you organize/present the information. Congrats and thank you so much for the time you spent creating this.
Your videos are really useful. I feel really grateful for all knowledges that you have shared us. Huge thanks teacher!
Right on, glad to!
Yeap... CMY and RGB info: The existence of something that I already know but do not understand. Thanks again Master!
Terrific video, Brady! Excellent color theory and explanation of the CMY vs RGB. You're still my Photoshop hero!
Right on, thanks, always good to hear from ya
really helpful and in depth, thanks!
Thanks Brady. Never miss these.
Right on, my pleasure!
Another great tutorial and explanation! Thanks for the awesome knowledge.
Glad to, thanks!
Best tutorials on youtube!!
Thanks Lucas!
a color theory gem!
Thanks! Fun to dig into the technical side, if just a bit
The colour theory part is so helpful bro!
That CMY lighting tip 😙👌
Only old ps users would appreciate this enormous work
I will use this technique for my works, thank you, loving the content!
Advanced tip- turn the smoothness off your gradient... massively improves the gradient.
Great video as usual!
Cool thank you!
i need to learn everything you know. also i'm using inkscape instead of photoshop so i really hope i can replicate this.

@@HelpingHand48 yup, I enjoy it. but my system is a bit weak for it, and even if I use eevee during the creation process, it's kinda slow and tedious.
Ahhhh... yes for sure. Been working on that but I cant stop revising!
@@Texturelabs awesome, well definitely keep up the high standard. looking forward to it whenever it's ready ^
Dope!!! 😮
Amazing as usual; although at 5:42 sounds like there's someone walking on the floor above; gave me a bit of a heart attack haha!
Like someone getting close to me fast. I jumped from the sit. XD

@@Texturelabs I had to back it up and listen again because I was sure someone was in my house (I live alone). LOL
Wat i cant hear it
Dude this scared the hell out of me. I'm listening with my open ear headphones and I thought someone was in my house.
