THIS IS CALLED A TUTORIAL !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME !!

I really enjoy your teaching videos - you have just the right pacing, not too fast and not too slow. Many other photography teachers on RU-vid rush so fast one can't follow along on their own screen, other are so slow and off on less important tangents. Keep up the good Work

Fantastic. I'm left in awe with how much there is in PS and how much you know about it. It's intimidating for me. Hopefully following on second screen will help.

Thanks. Very good techniques. I enjoyed,

Thanks, love the color grading technique you pointed out!!!

Beautiful effect, Anthony! Thank you.

Very nice Anthony, can you also do a high key tutorial with photoshop. I will appreciate it .

The perfect Master n Guru 🙏

thanks Anthony, very informative and thank you for moving slowly thru the simple PS steps... most do not.

Great tutorial Anthony!

What is a stamp layer and when is it used please? Great videos.

Awesome, thx

Very good tutorial. Thnx

Love this tutorial, thx

wow cool

Thanks!

I watched with a great deal of interest and liked the overall effect of your techniques. Am I right in thinking, though, that all of these adjustments could be accomplished in Lightroom in a non-destructive way? Thanks for seriously considering this question as I am a Photoshop-phobe!

excellent video

As usual, great tutorial! Can’t you eliminate the step with the linear gradient by just using the brush to darken?

Very interesting, but I have one question: how do you decide when to use a stamp layer? Is it just whenever you want to use a smart filter, like the Camera RAW filter?

That was just a bit over the top for me. But I do see the power in PS. Looks like a steep learning curve. I wonder if I could get a similar result in ON1 Photo Raw? I might have to give that a try in my spare time.

How do you do a low key in camera?

Why don't you just create a low key image with your camera?
