Nick, another great video. Your production quality has really stepped up, plus I enjoy the humor you provided with this one. Thanks for all your hard work you put into your channel. John

Superb. I had literally just finished using the Orton Effect on an image (I don't often do it) and was a bit underwhelmed with the results. Your video popped up on KZread so I watched it and went back in to re-edit the image. What a transformation. Thanks so much! And the timing was impeccable.

Good one Nick! Your videos are a fun way to learn new techniques in small bites. I've bought countless books trying to learn LR & PS and it just never sinks in like these kind of videos. Please keep doing these mini tutorials.

I've been playing around with this in some woodland shots and it really helps to add depth to the scene. I also like it on sunset skies and waves, again adding a lot of depth and atmosphere. Subtlety and selectivity are the keys to making this work without people knowing what's going on.

I’ve been studying and using the Page Effect under other names, but I like your approach the best. Even for Milky Way with a mask to protect the stars but make the core glow. Great stuff!!

Love the short and to the point tutorials, Nick. Problem is remembering all of them when it comes time to use them. I've been using Photoshop since the 90's and there is still so much to learn. Keep 'em coming!

These new videos of yours are the best, Nick!

Love seeing that Nerdy- Nick buffoon. He is the best. I do not have luminosity masks yet but still get something from this. Thanks.

Nick, really enjoyed this tutorial! Always looking forward to your uploads. Have a great weekend coming up. -Dave

Interesting approach. Thanks for sharing! Love that light you’re getting on those Aspen trees!

Opening up camera raw in blurred layer is a nice touch thanks Nick

Really interesting, and I love these processing tips. Aspire to make this type of processing a reality for me.

Great video, Nick 👊🏻. I really enjoy your processing videos...keep em coming!

Oh my gosh that alter ego part was the best ever. Need more of that lol

I really like the use of the luminosity mask together with the camera raw filter. As usual a very instructive video!

Nick thank you for this video, just what I have been looking for and you going through the process on 2 images helped to drive it home.

I’ve just started watching your videos on my lunch breaks at work and there soo informative and well presented! Thanks for all the guidance and cool tips

Great Video Nick!! I love the minimalist approach vs heavy handed method!! Th🙏🏼nx!!!!

Love the video Nick. Its the little things that make a big difference and your pretty great at that. Thanks for sharing.

More of these helpful video's please Nick. Keep up the good work.

You're the man, Nick! I really like that you can localize the adjustment using the luminosity mask. Going to try this out on a few edits. And the hipster rant was classic! LOL

Good explanation of the "why" of the Orton Effect...erh Page Effect. Thanks for sharing!

Luminar has this as a setting. Works awesome. Great work Nick 👍

Love your videos, keep it up with your nerd fellow. I Love Him. Nice touch. You've always been a great teacher.

The return of the nerd! Great fun. Learning lots Nick. Thank you.

Nice video. You brought a nice twist to the effect. Enjoying this series of vids.

Great video, love the added effect of camera raw and masking it to the highlights.

Great video Nick. OMG; I almost spit out my coffee laughing at the "Counter-point" character. Keep it up - Absolutely Hilarious.

Fantastic tutorial Nick. I had to ask my pet octupous with the keyboard manouver! Tried it on a woodland shot with great results. Going to enjoy using Lumenzia following the download today.

Hi Nick, loved the new caracter. Thank you for sharing.

Great video Nick,thank you!!

Great video, Nick. The addition of the Camera Raw filter is helpful!

Omg this is amazing. Thank you very much!

Just watched this AGAIN To remind myself how to do this. I have it saved so I can refer back to it. Also, I miss those alter egos!

Ill be in New York at the end of October and I’m excited to try this method on some photos inside Central Park, hopefully there will be some fall colors.

First off, I'm loving these latest tutorial-type videos. Also, love your alter-ego guy. Here's a hint for him. Add a bulky, maybe fringed, scarf wrapped several times around the neck. Search Pinterest for hipster men's outfits to get the scarf thing right. Thrift stores are good sources.

Nick…..this totally transformed my images wow!

Great. Now I go back and look at older photos that I used an Orton effect on and I can't stop looking at my glowing shadows.

Nice one Nick! Thanks for sharing

Great video love the post processing videos. Iam trying to improve both my photography and post processing as an amateur photographer

I’ve been really enjoying this Lightroom and photoshop series nick you really are convincing me to switch to photoshop over Lightroom!

Channeling some more Nicki! thanks for the tips

"slightly less like nick screwed up" haha that was brilliant. Never understood what Orton effect was. May give this a go whilst trying exposure blending as well, throw myself right into deep end. Also good to see how easy lumenzia is to use for masking as been getting lost seeing which one to get.

Nice video Nick. Going to give this one a try.

this is awesome thank you

Very nice Nick 👍🏻

I use a variation of this effect a lot. Works well with most landscape shots, and also with portraits. I use Affinity Photo but the process is pretty much identical to PS: Duplicate main pixel layer twice, add Gaussian blur with multiply blend mode to the top duplicate, and a screen blend mode to the second duplicate. Then just balance the opacities of each till you get what you want... as you alluded to... less is usually more. I actually did a blog of the Orton Effect on my website.

I love your alter-ego.

Brilliant... And hilarious

You and I go way back and I remember I called it the Nick page mystical glow back in like 2012 or so.

For greater accuracy in the highlights do the following. After creating new layer and blurring top layer. In the top menu go Select, Colour range then eye drop a highlight part of the image. Adjust Fuzziness to taste. Click okay. It will automatically make a selection. Create layer mask in top layer. Adjust opacity to taste. For stronger effect put blend mode to screen and adjust opacity to taste. otherwise leave normal blend mode.

Love it will definitely use this but you need to get one of those grumpy hats from Gibbs 🤣

Nice tip! I think that one can also use Blend If to restrict the effect to the highligts easily.

I always love picking up on the smallest things. While I've learned about the Orton Effect from other youtubers, the tip about managing it to only the highlights through a luminosity mask was the extra tip I needed to take it further. I use the Blend If layer option for this and find it a bit easier to control how much of the highlights I want to target. Your thoughts on the Blend If way?

Step 1: Take Pin-Sharp Photo Step 2: Blur photo *Attention: If amature and all photos are always blurry, skip this step

YOU DA'MAN , wish I could spend a week to learn the editing stuff 🥴

Hah it was actually the previous Orton effect -video from three years, after a reference in Thomas Heaton's video, that made me find this channel in the first place

Great video as ever Nick. For those not using PS, could you do something similar in Lightroom? I'm thinking a large radial filter to cover the whole image, use a combo of Feather, Luminance range masking and smoothness to pick the highlights you want to effect. Then bump exposure, contrast and reduce sharpness (to create the blur) as you did in camera raw. Then use the "amount" slider like the opacity slider to balance the effect so you get that nice sweet spot between glow and blur?

LOL, if it weren't for your beard I wouldn't have thought that whiny guy was you ! lol

Thanks for your Video. Nice Way to create the Orton Effect. Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately the background music is a bit noisy for me (I have hearing problem) and so it was in some case difficult to follow.

It's an interesting idea. I confess I cannot see it in my 42mp photos at the recommended opacities, so too subtle for my eyes.

Kind of seems like a lot of work for not a lot of result... but glad to know you're happy with it. Who knows, maybe some day I'll use it :p I do like the post processing video regardless :)

Awesome video. Did you made a video about color separation?

Came here through Matt Grangers latest video. Hope to find your Dodge and Burn technique cause I have seen so many, hoped that you had something that added some value to all of them . However, I couldn't find one, maybe you could make one in the near future. I was drawn to this video and I tried it out on my recently shot mushroom images with highlights here and there from the sun through the trees on the branches and mushroom head. It is noticeable and it looks nice, would it substantially increase the quality of a shot, not so sure, maybe 2%, but I will try it more often to see what's the result on other pictures. 3 remarks: You should start with making it a smart object so you could adjust the blur afterwards if needed (always use smart objects). When are you changing to Capture One, LR is a bit of past tense since C1 has completely matured now. (layers and superb color management for starters) And from another video of your, sharpening in LR ... cough .... LR has the worst sharpening there is. Do it in PS or better a third party add-on in PS. I'll subscribe for now but make it worth hehehehehehe Success and thanks for sharing

I think a full video from nerdy Nick is in order... You’ve been hanging around with Gavin again haven’t you?. The Hardcastle effect... I don’t have all of those tools available but it’s still interesting to see how it’s done. 👏🏻

Today I saw a mighty Hipster Page without even being on Tumblr.

I like the result you achieved, however, I don't have Lumenzia. Will a regular luminosity blend mode layer work?

Photo-snob hipster Page is my favorite alter-ego.

Might as well call it that! I'm lost on that Lumensie part, how does one do it without those things, only in PS?

Hello, Nick. Do you feather the mask? Also, do you use the Camera Raw interface in this case for convenience? I ask because you can just saturate and increase contrast within PS just as quickly (perhaps Camera Raw because you can see the adjustments before applying them..?). Thanks. Appreciate these tutorials big time.

@NickPage

since I create the mask while the layer is at 12 percent opacity.. its actually very slightly feathered.... I use camera raw because well, it a one stop way of doing all the different things I want to do to that layer.. sometimes if I am blowing out highlights in a sky when adding contrast and brightness, I will even add a graduated filter to the sky to maintain those highlights on the blurred layer... really flexable and powerfull and all in one step

Thanks Nick. Very useful. Particularly the when to use it as well as the how. Are you going to copyright this new name?😄

Hi Nick, have you ever considered using a Tiffen Black Pro Mist filter on the camera instead of trying to recreate the effect in post? A low strength 8th or 1/4 filter will give a similar effect live in camera and it will also reduce the contrast a bit without softening the overall image. Basically it gives the shot a more film like appearance and blooms out the highlights slightly, without going the full-on mist effect.

I wouldn't use a filter like a "fog filter" unless its just something I would blend in at a low opacity, as it would be one of those destructive things you cant undo

@@NickPage OK. I suppose I'm old school, coming from a video background, I was always taught to get it right in camera as post costs a lot of money, so I would automatically reach for an optical filter on the day rather than try and re-create the effect later on in post. Failing that, just take multiple shots of the same scene with and without filters and decide on which you think looks best at a later date. Anyway, keep up the good work. Rodney.
