The X-Ray of Retouching: Check Layers in Photoshop

Take Your Retouching to the Next Level with the Magical Powers of Check Layers! Learn how to analyze and view each property of an image visually, like hue, saturation, luminosity, details, etc. just like an X-Ray, thus helping you easily spot inconsistencies and imperfections.
Whether that's a color shift in the skin tone or a sensor dust, Check Layers (also called False Colors) have got you covered. It helps you identify not only the imperfections but also allows you to easily do your regular retouching process very efficiently and accurately, like dodging and burning.
Today we will learn how to create check layers for Hue, Saturation, Luminosity, and Details. Hope this tutorial helps. Thanks to you for watching :)

    This is one of the best Photoshop video! Thank you very much. One comments here: For the saturation check layers, I think just 2 layers are enough: a solid color with Hue blend mode to remove the hue difference, and a solid color with luminosity blend mode to remove the brightness difference. The color blend mode actually is include both Hue and saturation, which is not necessary for the saturation check layers.
