How to Add Dramatic Highlights and Shadows in Photoshop!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video, I will show you how to add dramatic Highlights and Shadows in Photoshop!
We will be creating adjustment layers and painting manually to add the highlights and shadows to our composition. Few things we need to keep in mind are - the source and direction of light, the cone of the beam of light, the intensity of the light, and the type of material on which the light is falling.
Along with an ambient lighting source, we will also see how a smaller light source reacts to our composition, and we will add the highlights and shadows accordingly.
Moreover, you can also find a download link to the PSD so that you can practice on your own, and you can follow along with the highlights and shadows in Photoshop by yourself.
I hope you will find this video helpful. Enjoy creating!

Video was really hepful. Just keep in mind that is a LOT easier and time saving to clip solid color layer to the subject layer if the color is leaking. That way you can just paint over the subject and the background but the color will still remain only on the subject because it's clipped to him.
This is amazing.
Best tutorial ever. Thank you for sharing with us

One trick from fine art sketching that I brought with me to photography and photoshop manipulation to understand direction of light is to start with one direction and work through the entire image. So if the light is coming from the top right, I'll start by adding shadows the the left side of everything, vertically, and then move to adding shadows beneath everything horizontally. Personally, I find this helps prevent missing areas, as you move through the entire image focusing only on one specific plane at a time.

Yes, I totally agree with you. If we start moving around the whole image then we are bound to miss out on some areas. Thanks for the helpful tip!

I don’t know the reason why you don’t have many subscribers, but I do know the reason why you have a like from me(and a sub), and from anyone who just watches your video, because you act like a teacher, after giving us the “tutorial” you also give us a homework with that projects we can use.

Hi there! I have a few complete manipulation tutorials. You can check them here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fKJqyKRsZaXWaKQ.html and kzread.info/dash/bejne/l3enuMFxe7WZdLA.html But unfortunately they are one of my least popular videos 😅 As for highlights on a rough stone, the same technique in this video should work. You just need to play a bit more with the Blend-If section to see what settings best reveal the underlying details. Hope this help 👍
