    Aaron, such a legend - thanks so much for these videos. I unfortunately encountered a minor problem where I couldn't find the 'Foreground To Background' option after clicking the Gradient Editor.
    If anyone can't find 'Foreground To Background' please see here:
    1. Click on 'Gradient Editor'
    2. Look at presets - click Basic
    3. You will a square with white to transparent
    Every time I click Gradient Editor it doesn't show all the previews like in the video, it just shows the folders you have to dig through. Took me some time!

    Still learning, I have always had a difficult time understanding Curves, even though you explained it very well. I know one day i will master it more. Thank you so much for explaining it in a very well thought-out way to users like me! I appreciate your content and all of your amazing work that you do, you are an inspiration to continue to create. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the community and for teaching us to grow our creative skills through your teachings! Special thanks to the amazing team as well!!!

  • @ronmortimer252
    @ronmortimer252 4 ปีที่แล้ว +45

    Great tutorials! I'm starting to see how mastering Photoshop is about 50% technical know how and 50% artistic ability. We need to grow in both areas to really produce quality work.

    I would like to give you the title " Photoshop Guru" most user-Friendly. I have spend money on Photoshop courses but the content is not even close to yours. What I most like your 3 days is there is almost no BS, blah blah blah, just to the important points and explanations are simple even a 2nd grader can understand and learn. Thanks a lot for taking time for creating these courses.

    Aaron, thank you and congratulations for this series. You have come up with the most complete, thorough, easy and understandable tutorials about this topics so far in the youtube platform. I strongly suggest to anyone interested in learning to continue learning from Phlearn by you tube and by purchasing his programs. I already have.
    Cheers and continue the great work. Daniel

    Now, that the perfect amount of information in one class. Pace was good. Much easier to follow than the Selections class. I did notice that your gradient drop-down menu was different than mine; I am using Photoshop 2020. Mine just showed the gradient style under gradient-basic-then box for style. After some exploring, I think mine was a little easier. Whew. I am still super grateful for this 30 day class! Thank you.

  • @draughonc
    @draughonc 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very well done! The clarification you gave between the Levels and Curves tool was awesome: they do the same thing, but Curves gives you more control. You touched on Color Theory a little bit. Would be beneficial to do a video on the basis of color theory for those new to Ps since so much of these tools rely upon it.

    Your tutorials are great, simple and straight to the point!
    Question, when I use the hand tool in the image to modify the curve, my curve window closes and I do not see how it modifies the curve live (I have to reopen it). How do you keep it open?
    Thanks!

    I heard that the best way to get best black and white result was to use the curve, chose mode color and pull down the curve on the right side.
    Do you agree? What is the best way according to you?

    Thanks learning heaps. I am using my own photos, which sometimes do not fully match the nuances of your photos. I have used the adjustment layers to enhanced a recent photo of the sun setting over the National Library here in Canberra - Australia. I captured the smoke from the fires, some 60+ Kms away.

    If you're using a later newer version of Photoshop, and you can't get the gradient tool to work like he's using it, select Classic Gradient. Then it should work

    Excellent Aaron. I really appreciated the side by side comparison of levels and curves. I've always that they locked 20 developers in a room and each came up with their own way to do something in Photoshop. They didn't want to say no so everyone thing was included. Aargh. Choice is nice but sometimes they go to far. I feel a little better 'armed' to tackle these adjustment tools and you've set me with understanding what I'm supposed to do, whether or not I get there we'll see :-) Thank you

  • @guillermogiannini
    @guillermogiannini 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the tutorial, it's very interesting. Could you clarify the difference in levels in terms of in put and out put.
    In the case of curves, only the values of in and out appear as the curve moves

    Is anyone else following along with Photoshop Elements? It seems to be working pretty well with only a few tools that are inactive. If you're using Elements you can go to Enhance>Adjust Color>Adjust Curves to follow along but honestly Aaron's explanation of Levels seems to be plenty for a hobbyist like myself. Thanks for the videos!
