I learnt everything from you in 2020. I was doing this exact thing back then, making Renaissance portraits for pets and people. It kickstarted my career as a graphic designer. Today I am an illustrator, and the world has changed and AI is making our lives hell. But the happiness I found then and now just by learning from you and creating artworks that brought joy to so many people around the world, is that satisfaction is everything. And it wins over anything AI and people who depend on AI can ever find.

It means a lot, and thanks so much for sharing that. Manual editing, retouching, and the entire process of creating art has a level of charm, control, and magic that AI just can't touch.
After all these years you never fail to amaze me.
You know, when I see this guy every day, I feel like he's better than adobe

Just excellent job! No AI, no plugins, no third-party software only curves and masks only hardcore, Thanks Unmesh 😉
I found this tutorial incredibly helpful as the techniques may be applied to so many images. Thank you Unmesh!
I can imagine Rembrandt would enjoy watching you work! Such an inspiration.

As always, an incredible video, with a mindblowing workflow, given by a minblowing instructor!
As usual it's very interesting, well explained, and very useful to know how it's done and why ! Thank you for all I learn with you.
Actually today is my 1st day of photoshop learning sir. I found your channel it's a god grace. Thank you for providing this video
Excellent! Curves adjustment layers are amazing. I love the funky Renaissance music at the beginning and end. I'm sure they listened to that track while painting back in the Renaissance too!

You know I'm in love with Curves, in Photoshop, haha. Thanks so much, I do spend a considerable amount of time choosing tracks, appreciate you noticing.
perfect! You unlocked a tool I had forgotten about! Thanks, Greetings from Peru! 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪
It never ceases to amaze me how great of an educator you are. You anticipate questions and issues people might experience, and you still leave time to explore smaller aspects of color grading even if they're not a major part of the edit. Simply incredible work, I'm always so impressed and learn a lot.
Thanks Unmesh. It’s the double clicking in the curves adjustment to load values and then putting them into other areas that is ace. Thanks for the reminder.👍
Even though i use Affinity Photos i watch your tutorial for years already and they applicable there as well. thank you for being a fantastic presenter making things understandable and easy to follow.
So without any further do, lets get started!!
Great video! I've learned from you a lot within those past few years! So now it's time for me to teach you one thing in return... it's not a renaissance painting. Leonardo da Vinci, Sandro Botticelli, Rafael Santi and Michelangelo Buonarotti - the big four of renaissance stream. They all used vibrant colors and the portraits would always feel very formal, trying to mimic ancient Greece and idealized. Now baroque, on the other hand could be divided into two streams: classical baroque (very formal, trying to mimic ancient Greece but more successful at catching human-likeness than renaissance in my opinion) and Caravaggisti (strong lights and shadows, usually warm and earthly tones, heavily influenced by Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio). Baroques well known artists are Caravaggio, Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, Diego Velázquez and Jacques-Louis David. This style also features oil paints an oh dear, would you look at all those dynamic poses!
Your a Saint Of digital Community helping so many people's 😊
Unmesh proving yet once more why he is the Photoshop hero we need, but don't deserve.
These color grading tutorials are 🔥 Umesh.
Really cool! You make the best PS tutorials! I appreciate ya
love it....really great stuff with the ease that you got this done.....

Awesome tuturial - as always!
Omg! Another fabulous video. Thank you!
Oh wow, you're the wizard of Photoshop!!!
Loved it 😍 Thank you 🤝🤝🤝
Fabulous - how easy. Thank you for sharing.
Old paintings were not originally yellow, brown, or amber color, but over the centuries, paintings have accumulated dirt, and varnish has deteriorated from clear to yellow.
I know you know it, but you are the BEST! ⭐ Thanks for this beautiful tutorial 👍
So cool. Thanks so mutch!
You should be just as recognized as any renaissance painter. Seriously. We live in the future, and you have the techniques, both easy and deeper options. Thank you for the content, how do I buy a T-Shirt (even though I'm a broke Photoshop artist ) I will still buy one!

Awesome, special thanks for files!
This sooooo good 😊
You're great 💪🙌 thanks 💙
A very slightly more accurate way of checking black and white values, is to use view>proof setup>custom>dot gain 20%. Better for showing accurate luminosity taking the colours into account. Also handy because once you've set it up you can quickly check anytime with ctrl+y.
Awesome 🤩
I will be using these techniques in Affinity Photo..
Super Cool!!!!!
Great Tutorial
Woow perfect 👍
very very good.. you sir are an expert.
You're the goat! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Love your videos! By far the best Photoshop tutorials. Your Photoshop for beginners course really progressed my skills (going back to basics!) and your other videos help with with specific needs. Plus, you’re a great host and I love your accent. Keep up the great work! :)

Hello Unmesh, I always learn new things from your tutorials even basic things like curves. I hope in the future you can also provide advanced tutorials about affinity photo, because many have started to switch and affinity has many similarities with photoshop. thanks
Muito bom!!👏
I thank you very much because I learned much and discoverd I don't know Photoshop exactly your brother from Egypt
Nice intro!!!
excellent
The automatic mask selection when using eyedropper in curves adjustment is not a bug, it's a feature ;)
Awesome

Woud you please make a colour grading to achieve pastel color painting like. Thank you
Great
nice
Wow! How do work this stuff out, all respect to you
I would love to see a tutorial on when you switch the color to from RGB to CMYK... a lot of times the color completely changes when you do this. How can you retain the color after you switch from RGB to CMYK for print purposes
Sometimes I wonder if the guys at adobe knows that they have these features in their product😂
The fact that you have to do all these steps for what I consider a common task reminds me why I hate postprocessing so much and why I have so many raw images that will never see the light of day. It's like for copy pasting a file you'd have to write the code to do it. Someone needs to make a better photo manipulation tool.
*Time to turn myself into a great grandson of Mona Lisa*
Curves is the sponsorship of Piximperfect channel 😂
Hermoso
Unmesh, can you make a video on product manipulation
mashallah
Unmesh Brother... I have a question about Screens to use while using Photoshop... Which laptop/PC screen is the best to use photoshop. Im getting a lot of color variations while using it in different Laptops and PCs. Please answe this. For example... If i edit the picture in my laptop and send it to my phone, the colors are looking sooo bright in my phone than the laptop. It happens all the time. Please solve this issue by answering this. Thanks
Is there a similar method to color grading for video, maybe in LR (Premiere makes it too complicated)? If I remember well there is a way to sample and match colors there.
Although this video and my comment seem to be different, somehow they relate to colour matching in compositing, and maybe someone finds it useful Yesterday I cut out a subject from one picture and did compositing by adding it into another different scenario, For colour matching, I tried neural filter Color Transfer but it didn't work perfectly, then I tried harmonization and cut-out colour matched with the background picture with few additional colour adjustments.
👍
A photographer did similar editing not long ago, and the client went nuts, in a bad way.
Plot twist: the brown tint of older paintings is because of the varnish on top of it absorbing a lot of filth/dirt of the years/decades/centuries. If you let a restoration guy replace it with a fresh new coating, the colors look great again.
Umesh please talk about Affinity editing software topic
