    As a photoshop veteran I've watched hundreds if not thousands of hours of tutorials plus many live events. This is without a doubt one of the best. Thank you, sir. The alternative way to create luminosity masks is nothing less than brilliant & your explanation is clear & concise.

  • @johngrubb007
    @johngrubb007 6 ปีที่แล้ว +76

    Now I finally understand luminosity masking and a great way to create them. Thanks a bunch for this great tutorial (and all your other great tutorials). This is my go-to channel for learning photo processing.

    This is by far the best 32 minutes of my day. I hope you can post more videos on luminosity masking. Enthusiasm + knowledge = great tutorial.

  • @a.joshatt7518
    @a.joshatt7518 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Thanks for all the great tuts. After a little test, comparing mask of this method and "traditional" method, I find in this method there're many black or white areas in the mask,instead of all kinds of gray. This is the difference. I recommend: in mask properties, increase feather and immensely lower density. Or obvious edge will occur often when adjusting.

  • @shacklynized
    @shacklynized 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    One of the best photoshop tutorials I've ever seen. I've recently been wanting to learn how to do luminosity masks and all the other videos were youtubers trying to get you to buy their luminosity panels. So frustrating because I want to know how to do them myself. You really laid out so much info here in a very digestible and learnable way. Well done.

  • @Digit0wL
    @Digit0wL 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Honestly, you have a better pronunciation than most other youtuber even with a slight accent, better way of teaching, patient, good tonality and very usefull tips and trick.... this is by far one of the best channel on youtube for photoshop !!!! Thanks a lot for doing what you do and helping me (and others) perfecting my art every day and makes money doing what I love !

    I agree, I'd love to see more critique videos. The learning from these is fantastic. Beautiful images submitted as you say. I love how humble you are, never taking away from others talents. You obviously have a great eye though to critique so well. Thank you for this learning. Any of your teachings are good, you explain so well.

    There are 2 photography channels I keep coming back to and this is one of them. The other has a much more philosophical bent so most of my photoshop learning comes from here. The more I learn the more I appreciate how good Unmesh is both technically and at serving that knowledge up to us. Many many thanks Unmesh!!

  • @jeffsargent8257
    @jeffsargent8257 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another awesome tutorial Unmesh. You usually teach about something I already know how to do but then you go to the next level and show how to improve upon it. I love your teaching method of really breaking stuff down and showing us not just how something works but why it works. Thanks.
    I wish you could do a video on selecting a tree with leaves on it that is so difficult that using multiple methods is necessary to make a good clean selection. And then, knowing that no selection is perfect show us how to get rid of the fringing and what ever else is wrong in order to get the best possible selection. This is the one thing in Photoshop that I just can't seem to do very well. I believe if someone can select trees than they'll be able to make the most difficult selections of hair.
