For getting rid of the white backgrounds, he's using "Color Range" in the selection menu. It lets you use the eyedropper tool to select specific colors. In his case it was white.
Eagle eye!! - nice!
well color range ? it will be useful for me later
Me a Photoshop Virgin: 🤔 hmm... yes.. the... selection menu...
Correct. And then a quick reduction of the upper range of the layer's output level to remove/soften any remaining fringe.
Elementary shit. Come on..

HAHA- Thanks for tuning in!
I was thinking the same thing LOL!
hahaha
I remember photoshopping myself jumping higher on a trampoline about 20 years ago on an ancient version on photoshop...blew peoples minds, no one had seen it...now my mind blown watching these speed edits. Life is just pixels ready to be manipulated!
Glad you are enjoying the content, and yeah the options are endless!!!
This is definitely better than normal speedart formats
Huge thanks, Allan!!
What defines a person?
Humility. When one is humble like you, one becomes wise.
Find the highest points of success, recognize the work of others!
Congratulations! You taught me a lot today reacting to this work.
He gained another fan!
Success!
Thanks for the very kind feedback!!
This is absolutely AWSOME!!!
Much appreciated!
I like having you comment on the speed paintings. I’m new to photo manipulation- I’m primarily a Daz Studio artist with Photoshop on the side. But since I discovered you guys, I have learned new tricks that help me make my Daz images look a bit better when it comes to merging rendered images and HDRI. Got a lot of compliments on my last one.
Now that's the feedback we love to hear!!!! Thank you!!!
Honestly surprised by the low view count. This deserves so much more!
Thanks for the comment, much appreciated!!
8:45 That's the power of Colour Range!🙌
Oh yeah!!!! Cheers for watching!!
super underrated tool for selection
@@seanmundyphoto Indeed!🙌
Super cool how he used levels to reduce the blacks to give it a hazy "in the background" feel.
Cool trick huh!! Cheers for tuning in!
The most interesting thing about this video is how much has changed in respect of doing this kind of work in the two years since this video was uploaded. I can't remember the last time I used the Magic Eraser or Magnetic Lasso tools because I have a snobbish superiority regarding such crass tools, and yet we see how effective they are in this video. All the same, they have become irrelevant since then with tools like Remove Background, and Select Subject working exactly like a magic trick. And that's before we start talking about Generative Fill, the Remove Tool, and Firefly. I guess it's good that it has made image manipulation so accessible to relative newcomers to Photoshop. Although, if I am entirely honest, I do resent it a wee bit.
This format can be really insightful! I thknk I watched almost the whole video!
8:40 dirty method to isolate objects on a clean background. As their was high contrast you can adjust the dark areas using Select/ Color Range then grey scale the layer then adjust curves to refine.
Thanks for that!!
I had honestly thought that I was really getting a handle on photomanipulation..............until I saw this video. I have a LOT to learn. O.O amazing stuff.
Stick with us, I'm sure we can help you on your journey!!! And cheers for watching!!
The commentary on this video is crazy amazing. 🔥🔥🔥
Ahhh thanks so much, so glad you enjoyed the content!!
This is ace, you should look at a guy called phaserunner and benny productions,
Absolutely!🙌🔥
@@arkreatives bennys mediaeval speed run is insane!
Good shout, cheers for the feedback!
@@PhotoManipulation anytime dude, looking forward to the next one
@@PhotoManipulation benny and phase runner are the best speedart youtuber atm imo, since some older very good ones quit :/
Great video! Just found your channel always great to find fellow artists showing their great art on youtube! Watching videos like these teaches a lot of useful information that we can use to improve our own art! Love the format keep it up!
Welcome to the community!! That's what we love to hear!! Thanks so much!
Brilliant again mate like this format
Cheers. Michael!!!
Please do more of these videos!!!
Definitely more incoming, keep your eyes peeled!! Many thanks for the support!!
I can't get my head around curves either, feel ya. I also use selective color instead of color balance, but hey, it works for me. PS is very versatile, you can achive the same result using a lot of different methods so idk, if one way works for you better, than use that one, thre's nothing wrong with that
Sound observation!! Thanks for the comment!
Insane!
Much appreciated!!
That was mental!
Much appreciated!!
I think the main reason someone can work this fast is to only be making the right creative choices
Very true and a good bit of prepaeration too!!! Cheers!
impressive so much passion
Thanks for that, really appreciate you tuning in!
I've been really putting time into trying to get through this video gallery, as I have so far learned something new with every video. OMG, this is like a dream come true though, cuz its like your old tutorials site, but on steroids, LOVE IT! My favourite speakers so far are you and Abbey, just cuz you're easiest to follow for me personally, but that's not to say anything sucky bout the others, they are also amazing!
Thanks so much for the kind feedback and it's great to know you are learning with us as nothing makes us happier to know we are helping the community! We really do appreciate the support, Triziana!! - Matt
That's awesome! He's really good!
Thanks so much!!!Appreciate it!!
love the react format
This is great to hear, so happy you guys are digging the format!!
Top video, always enjoy seeing your reaction to speed arts!
So glad you are enjoying the content!!!
Its unreal, must be photoshoped!!!
You guessed it!!!
This is nuts
I think Christian was using the magic erasure tool when clearing up the branches. Great video! I also love levels better than curves.
Another Levels fan!! Great to hear! Thanks for tuning in!
There's some more comments suggesting this is Color Range, which it clearly isn't. What is confusing me is the icon we see above the document window @1:12 which is a black eraser with a sort of explosion behind and above it. I have never seen that, but it has to be some sort of Magic Eraser variant. I'm feeling kind of daft now, because I am far too advanced to have anything so crass as an automatic eraser tool in any of my workspaces, but that was killing it! Is it a Mac icon? The UI looks like Windows to me. We do see the eye dropper at times, which spring loads with the Alt/Opt modifier, but I can't see how that helps? I am not a fan of Blend If because it leaves aa halos, even when splitting the slider, but I am wondering why he didn't use it in this case with the background appearing to be full white? It's also a totally destructive workflow which would irk me. Heck, we have all seen a glitch or two later on and been glad we can fix it with the layer mask. Anyway, I'll carry one watching, and see what the next thing is to get under my skin.
Love these videos man and I love your honesty, this was great 👍
Thanks so much for the great feedback!!
As a person with 0 photoshop knowlegde, this is insanely mind-blowing. But I felt he could've added the reflections on the pud in the front, as it would've elevated the looks! I have no idea of the difficulty in doing it, but he's so talented so might not be so difficult for him. Great!💯❤️
Thanks so much, all feedback will be passed on!!
I was watching from 2nd min when he will add reflection to the water of the house and gate lol kinda confused how that detail was not changed
I think with the art being a quick 50 minute edit, time was against him!!
If you didn’t know… this guy loves levels
hahaha he really does!!!
In the left grid was a piece like "6" flying
Thanks for the heads-up!! Cheers!
So proud of you guys!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much!!
Just started learning photoshop and this vid was amazing! loving your content! +1 sub

Got have a crow, that's the icing on the cake for this type of work.
We do love us some crows!! Good tip!!
@@PhotoManipulation 🤣.... Fantastic work I'm proper hooked on the channel already!.... Might need to actually do some work 🤔
I liked the video when your and mine Haze analogy met.
Haha Awesome!!
That eraser tool he uses at the beginning on the trees is called the background eraser, it's brilliant
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for tuning in!!
@@PhotoManipulation You're welcome. I'm a design manager and just shared your video with my team so that they can see how others use PS in different ways. Also told them to see if they can spot a huge mistake that I found in the image. Curious to see if you can spot it too! *hint* it's to do with the gate.
@@88GrayDan The two floating parts in the top and bottom right of the left gate?
@@88GrayDan I would guess it's the fact that the gate is not reflected in the puddle.
Wonderful ☺️
Cheers!!
I paused this twice so I could try to figure out which one of my smoke detectors were chirping
Haha - thanks for tuning in!!
Wonderful Design for horror movie poster
Great shout!! Cheers!!
@@PhotoManipulation Cheers Buddy
First video I that I see on your channel and I love your vibe! ❤️ Chill. Thank you for making this content it was a nice one for breakfast and the start of a new day 😁
Awesome feedback and thanks for watching!!
Wow this is INSANE 🔥 love this type of reaction videos sir... Keep creating more ❤️
Thanks so much, more on the way!!
hey man what kind of Computer or laptop you recommend for adobe Photoshop beginner like me. I usually do this kind of stuff but my computer is so slow. New subcriber !
Well you need to make sure you have a decent graphics card, at least 16gb ram, and probably quad core proccessors at least, it depends on your budget of course!!
@@PhotoManipulation yeah that’s true as well. Thank you 🙏
Glad I ran into your channel. This inspires me and I love your commentary. For the longest time I've been bashing myself over the time I spend and not knowing or being uncomfortable with some tools. However, after listening to you, and reading some of the comments made on here, I guess I shouldn't be too hard on myself.
Hey, Alea! It's not an easy thing to master or even get good at! But with enough practice & patience you'll get there!! And no, don't be hard on yourself as we know people learn at different speeds, the aim is to get there no matter how long it takes!!!
From what I could figure out that eraser tool was the magic eraser and you can click on whites and itl knock them out, but it's similar to the magic wand it's not quite exact, really enjoyed this video man
Thanks for that DJS! Even 20 years in, so much I DON'T know about Photoshop :P
naw the background eraser tool can be quite more accurate than the magic wand tool. you can select the colors you want eliminated and at what degree. piximperfect made a video about it if im not mistaken (i looked it up and he did, its called "The EASY Background Remover Hidden in Photoshop!") you can then use the minimum filter to remove any left-over halos
@@Kittysuit oh sweet, il be sure to check it out, its not tool i normally use so could be handy for the future ! Thank you
Thats a leak right there 8:35 lol
Haha -Thanks for watching!!
The most annoying thing about these amazing speed art videos is that they make it look so easy
Hahaha- it does take time to learn, but it's time well spent!!
Honestly the best option for any stock photos or 3D pngs is Envato though.. at least you can rotate them etc... brushes... website templates, video templates, tutorials, everything. That's what I am getting myself for Christmas with the money that I made for side projects starting out. Hopefully it speeds up the process because I spent entirely too long looking for the right assets that are decent quality and commercial use. So I can see that helping saving a shit ton of time which means I will finish faster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so worth it guys! You get so much more than what the others offer. I am paying the upfront year plan to get a cheaper deal and get it over with. Costly upfront but over time it's better than spending 30 a month. 198 for a year (16.50 a mo) isn't that bad considering if you look at individual asset costs you'd spend a lot more so it's worth it. Especially if you use it everyday like I will. Currently I am doing a DND map for someone and I am not going to keep going on it UNTIL I get it. I don't want to backtrack so I am gonna save myself the stress.
It's an interesting one for sure! And Envato are great! Thamks for taking the time for such an in depth comment!!
what are the shortcuts to change the whole image b&w and back when trying to match tones and such in the image?
Most people just add a B&W Gradient Map over the top, which you can switch on and off as you go!
@@PhotoManipulation Oh sweet. I was over complicating it then. Thank you!
what's mind blowing is that took him 50min
Indeed! He works so quick!! Cheers!!
really? only 50?
wow
looks kinda like the baker house from resident evil 7, well done man
HA- Good shout and great game!! Cheers!!
You are good man nice
Much appreciated mate!!
Great viewing mate looks like life is treating you well
Thanks for the kind feedback!!
BIG UP BOBAZZZZ! Cheers mate, hope things are kool at your end :)
Lovely
Love this. Should react to Benny Productions as well some time
Who knows what the future holds!
Great video. None of your bitly links appear to work in Chrome or Safari. Have the direct URL?
Great skills. The thing I noticed though is the reflection on the water. Shouldn't the reflection a bit hazy as well with all that fog blocking the light?
Thanks for thhe feedback, passed on to the creator!
Clearly this is ready for the cover of an up and coming murder mystery book. 🤣
Could well be!! haha
what an awesome composite! only thing that bugged me about this is that the sky is cloudy, the foreground lighting is soft, but the shadows on the roof are hard so it doesn't look quite right. i also noticed the crow has light on its face but it's not facing the moon which is the source of light.
Still not bad for a 50-min art isn't it? ☺️
Thanks for the keen eye, we appreciate all feedback!!
wow amaizing
Much appreciated!!
This is amazing! I think you should also react on phaserunner's artworks as he also creates this types of artwork and they are too op! And love your videos😊
Hmmmm. Maybe, just maybe that's on the cards!!!
Yeah Phase is incredible
as a PS artist this put me in shame , i can do like 50% of the work but seriously it would take me more than 10 days , that's the thing it doesn't necessary means that how much you know about photoshop it's all about your vision and knowledge about all the aesthetics to work around , the most difficult thing in it is blending and tone-colors match up , if you've mastered that stuff then you can do virtually anything in photoshop
Brilliant points there! Thanks so much for that feedback!!
Hahaha Fantastic!
Appreciated- thanks for watching!!
PixImperfect!
Cheers for the suggestion!!
Ótimo vídeo
Thanks so much for tunng in!!!
i think using hue saturation to match brightness instead of using level adjustment is a mistake, because hue saturation only changes saturation level, not color brightness
Thanks for the feedback, and great tip!
I'm going to go against the tide here. Real feedback. It's always nice to see you guys work, but I'm not sure how much I got out of it. Watching someone else work while you guess didn't really teach much. I think the most instructive format is the speed art narrated by the actual artist. Take it for what it's worth.
Thanks for the feedback, Gary! We take all comments on board!!!
i liked the feedback of the OP, however it was a little too fast for a tutorial imho
there should be a slight amount of light on the roof under the window but holy shit I cant complain this was really good.
Much appreciated!!!!
Look at you and your expert thumbnail-ing 🤣🙃 I enjoy this format! Always fun to watch a master work with commentary from another.
That's great feedback-thanks so much!
I like how your facecam is running in 240fps
Cheers!!
thanks
More than welcome!!
Where do I even begin with learning photo manipulations like these?
practice, practice, practice. following some tutorials and watching photo manipulation speed art will help with absorbing the right techniques but overall just figuring stuff out by yourself is key. at one point or another you get a feel for it. just open up photoshop and start.
I agree with them but I want to add something:I realised 70% of photo manipulationing is about putting correct lighting and shadows. Lights and shadows are super important. Pay attention to those and make sure you apply everything on the videos to your project. You can't learn much just by watching. Always practice and make bad stuff, until you make something good.
Well i think we may be able to help you with that!! :th-cam.com/play/PL9j0U22QBBqRiDvB7tyNvPheXaj4OaiYH.html
Curious if you like the levels tool
Dean is a big Levels fan!! But i think he's trying to use curves more!! Thanks for the comment!
Can u do another like this?
The weird eraser is called magic eraser tool
Thanks for the heads up- much appreciated!!
Nice to see everybody has their own tricks, I prefer masking and curves a bit more than this artist but thats personal. Cool video
Thanks so much for the comment, yeah every artist has their own preferences for sure!!!
Wow
Thanks for the feedback!! And tuning in!
Hello sir, I saw this video and I am a big fan of yours.

this makes me salty. Great job. I mean to know how to really use photoshop is a skill I've always wanted. You guys rock. Good job and eat sheet. ;)
Hope we can help with your journey with Photoshop!! Cheers for the comment!
it's not bad.. but what about the reflections of the gate and the bricks in the puddle? or even the shadows of the gate on the ground. also if its night you would see more shadow in the porch area of the house.... its not bad... but needs some work.
Appreciate you watching and thanks for the comment!!
Are there any photoshop forums on da web?
We will have to trust google to look that up, thanks for watching!!
Awesome work apart from 2 things bothering me :( . The reflection of the house in the water (not the same, but I understand that it is very hard and time consuming to make it the same). And the left gate. There is the bottom right corner of the left gate that is floating, the swirly bit. Maybe it's magic, and I'm wrong.
Really appreciate the feedback! It was an 50 minute effort from Christian, and i think with more time he would have had those details covered!!
Cool video. What's the music in the background? :)
It was commissioned for the video, not sure of the title!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️💯
Thanks for tuning in!!!
Urm..maybe he forgot about the gate's reflection in the mud pool?
noticed that too and it made me so frustrated lol
Note taken!!! Thanks for the feedback!!
Thanks for the heads up!!!!
8:38 He used the select subject option
Thanks for the feedback, appreciate you watching!

Easy to find this original painting from nikko procreate profile ,he is doing free hand sketch
Thanks for the feedback!!
5 days doing that on phone..im happy...and i want evry part of a photo to be png....its like having a 2d library.......
I like listening to u talk for some reason
Haha that's great to hear!! Thanks for that!!
how did he remove the gate portion?
It could be done with lasso/ pen tool- so many options!!
But i believe he used color range! Great for selections with opposite contrast!!
I was waiting for reflections of the house, stone wall, and gates, didn't get it. :(
Thanks for the feedback, will pass that on!
@@PhotoManipulation The image is astounishing but things like that always jump into my eyes when the WOW effect settles. I'm kinda sensitive to uncanny valley flaws (mismatched perspective, light direction). Non the less the piece deserves every admiration and more.
