I use an older version of Photoshop so this is useful to me. Alot better than some vids that just cater for the latest versions of Photoshop. Thank you.
I was excited when I got the alert that you were doing this video, I took a photo about 3 or 4 years ago, similar to this one, & I am itching to try this with my photo. Thanks Colin, I love your tutorials. You are a fantastic teacher, make it look so easy to do & you go slow enough with great explanations.
Great Tutorial. I've taken a workshop on hand painting B&W photo's using Marshall's Photo Oil Paints and love creating a two tone effect where part of the photo is in color and the other part is in black and white. Now you have shown me some new skills using Photoshop so I'm definitely going to try your method. Thanks for taking the time to teach your followers something new.
Love it. It has given me lots of ideas on things to do with my photos. I also love your tone of voice and that you take your time to explain every details.
Thanks, Colin. Good tutorial. I've used techniques like this for years, and one of my best outcomes was when I collaborated on a book project with a watercolorist. I made the photographs and then the artist used them as the basis for watercolor paintings. I then scanned the paintings and composited the original images with the paintings in PS. The effects were hauntingly beautiful.
I love every one of your tutorials! One thing about them is that you can actually read the Photoshop screen where other tutorials have the fonts too small. Thanks Colin
What an interesting way of creating a sketch, Colin! And what an even better idea to blend it with the real photo. I've seen some of your videos before and today I hit the subscribe button with no doubt in mind that you're a great teacher. Thank you for taking the time to teach us for free! :)
Great video, Colin. Thanks for showing how to get this pencil/engraved effect. Did not know how to do that. Am going to try combining this with some tiny bits of watercolor effect too. Love your channel. Your teaching is very clear and friendly. Thank you!
Hello again and thank you for another great tutorial. This one was actually rather fun! I have seen your method for creating a pencil sketch before (you have more than one tutorial on the subject, in fact) but to see it taken to another level of creativity was very nice. Much appreciation for sharing this with us.
Very good and useful. Thank you for your tutorials and for being such a good teacher. Just wanted to understand why does it work. The desaturation+inversion+blurring+color dodge thing. I have tried to look for the algorithms, but it goes into depths that I don't really want to even begin learning. Do you have a more practical explanation?
Thank you for the tutorial, I am going to try it now, will let you know. Do you have any video covering the following please? 1. Both a pure black (0) and pure white (255) point, set using either a Levels of Curves Adjustment, as an Adjustment Layer 2. A colour correction layer used as a global correction. 3. A dodging and burning layer (named) with the Blending Mode set to Soft Light for local correction. 4. Highlight adjustments using a Curve Layer with Blending Mode set to Multiply 5. An Unsharp Mask, applied to increase edge contrast 6. Adjustment Layer masking to locally apply tone or colour adjustments 7. A redistribution of light in the image using the Reverse Overlay Blended Layer technique 8. Local sharpening using an Unsharp mask or High Pass filter.
Hi, you mention at 4:19 adding and subtracting areas. when I try to add it erases everything I had added before and just leaves the new selection. at 445 you say if it's not perfect don't worry we can always fix this later... how you never say that. my selection wasn't perfect and I have no idea how to fix it. I do like that you GO SLOW unlike some others who seem to be speed talking and that you are wonderful in most explanations except the 4:45 how to fix...
Hold SHIFT key down to add to selections you've already made - or - look in the upper left corner of the workspace, you will see 4 icon-like buttons to manage selections (hover over each to get a tool-tip as to their behaviors).
