Hey guys! So what's the difference between this method and using a Curves Adjustment Layer with Luminosity Blend Mode? First of all, thank you so much for your question. It's a great one, and I would have had the same if I were you. To know the difference, the best thing to do is this: Using the Horizontal Curve method shown in the video, move the points on the extreme left and right, up and down (as done in 11:32 on the extreme left). Then, do the same with just a Curves adjustment layer with Luminosity Blend Mode. You'll notice the difference straightaway of how subtle and natural this method is. However, if you are looking for something extreme and a little more manual control, you should go with Curves with Luminosity. There are hundreds of ways of doing the same thing in Photoshop, you need to find out what works for you :) Best Wishes! And Keep Creating! - Unmesh

I'm thinking that the lol at the end meant that he was kidding.

I taught photoshop classes for 3 years and I still learned something new from this video, namely the fact that adjustment layers are read by photoshop as virtual, dynamic copies of the layers below. it's an advanced, mostly negletable detail that does give some insight on how to create new effects. good job, man.

What i like the most about Unmesh is that he works on photoshop in ways it wasn't even meant for, and not only he shares his methods, he also explains everything in a detailed way, making him the best photoshop tutor there ever is, a lot of respect for you man.

I just tried it out with a few photos of mine and it works great. Thanks a lot! You demonstrate once again who deserves to be named the master of Photoshop on KZread.

YOU ARE GOOD DUDE

most helpful channel. love from japan :)

I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop 5, I've been with several tutors and done some research of my own but you sir have taught me so much more in 6 months, you rock!!

I was looking for such a method where you can just brighten a specific part of an image by clicking on that area. And the way you did it was truely genious. Really love your vids specially the part where you teach the concept.

Nice dude! I use curves on luminosity blend mode to edit brightness without effecting colours, but after a quick test this method actually preserves much more of the colours - where my original method actually de-saturated them slightly. Also the changes on soft light are more gradual so it feels more controlled.

Umesh will HIT 1m subscribers soon...we are waiting...luv U 😍😍

Came back to this a second time. I love curves! This is another useful way to use them! Thanks, Unmesh!

Great tutorial. I also like how you explained everything early on and let everyone know before you went into a deeper explanation. Subbed.

10:50 This realization just blew my mind :O

I have tried all kinds of tutorials for learning Photoshop. Your's speak to the kinds of things I want to do to my photos. Your in depth explanations of the techniques is the best I have seen. I have learned more useful techniques from you than from any other source. Thanks! And BTW, your English elocution is incredible and your presentation is enjoyable. Some of us are a bit slower than you- do think you could run your before/after scenarios at about 25%? That would give us old folks time to absorb the change.

My favorite things about your videos is they explain why things work, how they work, and then at the end you summarize which helps me actually learn it

We can get to learn these techniques from other places too but the way you teach is commendable. So clear and the best part is you explain "Why?" along with "How?" which makes you better than the others. Keep up the good work Umesh !!

"Isn't that amazing?" -- I can only reply: "yes, it is!"...

This is an amazing way of changing the luminosity without affecting the colors. Just a small thought I had while watching this video. Can I use this technique to locally dodge and burn the skin while retouching? This way I might not be affecting the local color hue changes and can only manipulate the skin luminosity. Please share your thoughts on this if you find it relevant. Thanks for creating amazing videos for us.

Not quite. It desatures the colors if you brighten something, and saturates them if you darken sth. Try doing both ways (his way, and luminosity way) at the same time, and compare the results

We can do this with another way. Step 1:Alt+click on create new layer Step 2:Change the mode to soft light Step 3:Check the fill with soft light neutral color box Viola! Now you can use white brush on the newly created layer to brighten the image and black brush to darken. You can also brighten or darken any color of the image by choosing the respective color brush.

Do you know what I have noticed? You are one of the best PS tutor around the KZread. And what advantage you make against others? Most of them making tutorials without examples of the pictures (photos) except if they offer premium tutorials to buy. It's difficult to learn without same materials that they using and showing. But you make exceptional videos to teach around the internet and give us same pictures that you use. Other advantages that you clearly explaining everything without any problems. I love your teaching.
