    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 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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
