what's up tooty frooties back again with
the tutorial
this time we're gonna learn the two
insane sliders
yups that's blend if which gonna add a
lot more depth to your images
so if you are not lazy as me
take a picture of yourself and if you
are
you can take mine it's absolutely free
i mean seriously just you have to
subscribe
link is in down there and to be very
serious
let's start import it to photoshop
and have a look this image is quite flat
not that much but we're gonna add a lot
more
depth to it by adding highlights and
shadows
there are limitless ways to do that but
which i prefer
is using blend if we're gonna add
such a depth which make it so beautiful
and you can also use it in the
compositing
and if you don't know about it let's
have a look
just i have created a gradient and it
represents the blend if slider
right here
[Music]
actually there are two one for the
current layer on which you are working
and another for the underlying layer
which is beneath it
in this case it's not present both
effects is same there but in a different
way
let's look at the current layer first as
i move the black slider
towards the right look it's making
those black pixels
of the gradient layer invisible
actually black part represent the darker
pixels of the image
while the white represents the brighter
pixels
and the area in between them represent
midtones
you can also break the slider using
alt or option click
to make it smoother
[Music]
further you can play with the red blue
green channels
which help you to remove bg's and
replacing
sky
[Music]
let's look at the image now we're gonna
add a lot more shine
or you can say highlights to it so take
a white solid adjustment layer
go to blending options blend if
[Music]
in this case you have to move the
underlying layer slider
what it does it just subtracts the white
pixels of the current layer
from the darker pixels of underlying
layer
which is present beneath it
that limits it to the brighter or the
mid-range area
move the slider towards right
[Music]
have a look now the white pixels
of white solid layer gets limited to the
brighter
pixels of underlying layer
[Music]
and add more depth and shine to it
you can also customize it using masks
flow and opacity
similarly do with the blacks a black
solid layer
go to blending options blend if
[Music]
[Music]
you can also apply the blur to give it a
natural look
take a new layer naming it blur
select the blur tool
[Music]
make sure that the all sample layers is
checked
sorry that sample all layer
paint over the face slowly and gradually
[Music]
also paint over the nose and the eyes
i think it's look good
[Music]
so here's the before here's the after
[Music]
