Photoshop Game-Changer! GRAIN SHADED GRADIENT MAPS 

Brady I hope you know that your tutorials are really the gold standard on RU-vid in terms of presentation. Professional audio and video, no filler, and an extremely tight script. Always a joy to watch, and I don't think that stuff is just polish on top - a good presentation makes learning easier. Keep up the good work!

I’ve never seen someone explain blending modes as a curve across a spectrum! I’m sure it’s a simplification, but it’s very intuitive and digestible.

This is the magnum opus of tutorials. Every content creator should have an inspiration on his method of explaining.

These tutorials are so well made, and I love the speed and amount of detail. No need to do it all 1:1 along with the user, just pause the video or rewatch. These are just visual treats and I love it!!!

Another great one. Huge respect for the quality, clarity and actually new stuff you teach us. I mean even after 17 years of Photoshop i know every single one of these videos will teach me something new. Thank you!

Your ability to explain the "why" behind each choice and how each thing works is unparalleled. I wish you could make every tutorial on RU-vid, regardless of the thing being taught. Bravo.

Oh man. I almost forgot this wonderful feeling of an adventure and excitement someones tutorial can bring. It is like I am back to a beginning of my journey in CG and tutorials of Andrew Kramer

I don't think I've ever watched a tutorial so well explained and easy to follow! And it wasn't just the mechanics of what to do, but what is going on and how they work. I appreciate the hard work that went into it. Walked in to this video curious, and left a fan of Texturelabs!!

Рад что вы снова нашли время для нас! Это отличные и простые с точки зрения усвоения уроки. Спасибо за труд! 👍👍

Some people have Tutor skills as a gift. Love that pragmatic use of animations. They really have a purpose and arent just ornaments

this is probably one of the best made tutorials ive ever seen on youtube

There are definitely a lot people being as good at photoshop as you are, however, no one could ever compare to you on how to explain the logic and idea behind each steps in such an intuitive way! I could hardly imagine where else I can learn these priceless knowledges for free! You Are Amazing!

What a great time to be alive! I wake up have my Costco coffee and watch a presentation on gradient noise and subtleties of blending layers! Decades ago I would have to dig this stuff up in imported uk computer arts magazines… no more!

Welcome back Brady. You're an invaluable part of my design journey. Thank you for what you do, the new site looks amazing!

This is the coolest effect tutorial I've ever watched

Man, you are the coolest. You've got the most unique ideas for working with photoshop ever. Every time you upload a video I know it's gonna be something I've never seen or thought about before, despite using photoshop for over 15 years. This one is gonna come in so handy with integrating good looking noise into my art.

This is one of the BEST Photoshop tutorials I've ever watched. Perfectly paced, engaging, everything explained so well, and super helpful things to know! Thank you so much!!!

It’s so good to see you back on RU-vid, Brady! Your work is invaluable - I find myself yet again walking away from one of your videos with a ton of new knowledge and ideas!

I am blown away by the care to earnestly explain and teach the viewer how to use this particular thingie, as opposed to simply describing it, as most do. Splendid little tutorial, thank you very much! o/

I don't know how you do it; come up with these mind blowing techniques. Another stellar video, Brady. Yeah, we missed you.

Great to see you again. Amazing, as always, yours are top of the top of the line tutorials... especially the explanations you give of the logic behind all the steps that you take, it teaches us how to think in terms of the program, not just recipes. Really Cool. Thank you...

All killer no filler tutorials as ALWAYS, I loved this one. I've watched many ways to do a similar effect but this one looks the best and is mashed with great insights such as the different blending modes.

this is probably the best tutorial i've seen in my life, it's literally a game changer

Good to have you back, your tutorials are some of the best on RU-vid and the website is INTERGRAL to my workflow! Thanks so much for your work!

He's back! Great uncomplicated (but elegant) workflow. Love the graphic envelopes you added for the blending types. Top tier content as always 👍👍☺️

fantastic tutorial! perfect amount of details and speed! i really love that you are not rushing through your videos but still get straight to the point! perfect!

Good to see you back. You're my favorite PS tutorial channel, for both the techniques you offer, and the explanations given.

Great for you to be showing how to do this sort of thing and all the intricate ways it works, been doing this for years and sharing how to do it also, and built lots of free and professional action sets off it, but I found photoshop to eventually be limiting in what I need to do with custom-color separations and also converting into the halftones from images... not just a greyscale gradient mapping and halftoning or dithering. There is really a whole world of possibilities that open up with being able to control full-color gradient mapping, separations, and conversion to halftone or dithering patterns! Keep up the great work educating the masses about these advanced techniques!

Brilliant as always. I am always amazed how relatively simple stuff can lead to beautiful and aesthetically pleasing results.

Great to have you back with new tutorials. I'm looking forward to trying this one.

You are a genius! I love your tutorials and teaching style. I always love knowing what happens if you take it too far and why I can use it, and you present it very well! I'm working on a 70's baseball card design for an animal sanctuary and wanted this exact look but couldn't get what I wanted. Then I refreshed my subscriptions and bam! Well done again on yet another fantastic tutorial!

This is the tutorial I have been waiting for (but also I eagerly await every single one of your tutorials). I have been experimenting with this all week.

What an absolutely brilliant tutorial! Fantastic pace, super concise. Thank you 🙏

Welcome back! You are genius! Simple but smart. Never stop teaching.

wow ! I LOVE the way you explain how each effect and layer works ! it makes me understand so much about them and makes it easier for me to know what changes what ! amazing tutorial! definately gonna watch all your videos, keep it up !

Glad to see you back! I always get so excited when i see the notification of your video. Thanks man. Such a great video again.

I really enjoyed the step-by-step process of this creative effect. The level of control for this leaves a lot of room for artistic expression. I had never heard of matching the number of gradient stops to the number of posterized stops but this makes exquisite sense. Great stuff!

There are no words for how excited I get when I see that you've put out another Photoshop tutorial. Can't wait to give it a go!!

Not only your tutorials are fresh and innovative, but your explanations and the videos themselves (editing, remarks, etc.) are equally awesome. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Omg this is so awesome! Over 10 years of working in Photoshop and I've never seen anything like this! Thanks! 🎉

This will be great for screen printing prep, a great effect to translate a difficult to separate image into something that only uses a few colors, while avoiding the inorganic look of halftones. You have the best presentations. Thanks!

Always amazing to see your processes and i love your explanations. Just the right level of detail to cover all bases while still maintaining a very digestible pace. ❤❤❤

They say a genius can take something tremendously difficult and explain it in such a way that anyone can understand it. Brady might be the best Photoshop teacher I have found.

The "Notes" graphic breaking down the layers is an absolute game changer, amazing tutorial. New sub

This is amazing! I think it's my favorite tutorial so far. Really cool-looking and useful stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, Brady!

Happy to see you back, i've missed your tutorials🥳

the side notes were so helpful and clearly demonstrated the ideas of how to create this effect! Love it!

Great tutorial, Brady. Happy to see you back. Love that reticulation noise, I've been using camera raw noise for this effect, and the reticulation effect has such a nice quality to it. Thank you, Sir!

This effect is so dope! Thank you Brady for your instruction and ability to convey your technical knowledge with precision & entertainment. You are easily one of my favorite online Instructors. Mahalo from Hawaii! 🤙🏼

The best Photoshop content by far. I learn something new about the program every time I watch your videos. Keep up the good work!

Brilliant! Love the production value of all the animations. It was super helpful in understanding the difference between overlay and soft light

I was having a real hard time finding good tutorials on this topic recently but this absolutely made my day, I will definitely be referring to this video often!

So very, very glad to have you back

Fantastic, I immediately remembered why this is in my top 5 favorite RU-vid photoshop channels! Great tutorial!

We're not worthy! We're not worthy! Glad to see you back at it dude! Another awesome tutorial!

GOddamn this is my first time on your channel and holy shit bro. This is what youtube tutorials need. A deeper understanding on your tools and explain it in a very simple way. Cool video dude please make more.

So glad to see you back GOAT! 🐐 Thanks for all you do for us the free folk of the internet!

Another absolute banger. This is super relevant to some work I'm taking on right now and I look forward to seeing how it can compliment what I've already built. Thanks!

I've been doing a lot of work with grainy gradient maps lately so this felt like it was made just for me. Awesome work!

I missed you so much Brady and then (as usual) you come back with a tutorial about an effect that I really like!!!

What a great day for RU-vid! Amazing to see you back!

You explain so well and your tutorials are so useful that you should have an honorary recognition for it.

Thank you very much! I've been searching for something like this for a long time now to achieve a more tangible aesthetic for posters and even illustrations, evoking the essence of the 80s era.

OMG, glad you're back!

SOOO glad to have you back!!!

FAB. Instant sub. 30 year Photoshop expert, still learn new every day.

This is the easiest Xerox effect tutorial I've ever seen. You're the best Brady!

So great as usual, and agree with the comments below about your presentation style. Thanks very much for this Brady - I will certainly enjoy putting this to use!

So pumped you're back! Thank you!

Two minutes in, and I've subbed. TWO MINUTES!!!!! I'll be deep diving this content soon. Already learned something game changing in the first two minutes. Wow.

Genius! Such an intuitive way to do almost a dithering effect that feels more human and variable

This is amazing, thank you very much for sharing! I leveled up my skills a lot thanks to your channel. You explain things in a simple and comprehensible way, I love the freebies and appreciate the mid length of the videos! You are de MVP!
