thank you very much for this series Jan. really grateful to have this for free! also, i wouldlove to see the video on film grain in English Language. thank you!
Thank you very much for your feedback. Great that you found value here! Please check my channel video overview, the one with grain in English is right there 😊🙌🏼
@@JanWischermann All of your content is very helpful. The latest short videos about your setup and settings were great. For me the most helpful ones are the full retouch videos.
Thank you Jan : just completed all five of your series: pure gold! Your methodical and sensitive approach to image refinement has provided such an insight into why this level of work requires the time that it does. There truly is no "fast track" to quality results!
Thank you a lot for your wonderful feedback Simon, that is so much appreciated 😊🙌🏼 It makes me happy to read that this series is of value to you and showed you the beauty of „putting the hours in“. My pleasure!
Hey Jere, thank you so much for your precious feedback! I am grateful you are learning and growing from my videos, thank you for sharing your thoughts! Highly appreciated and 100% motivating 😊🙌🏼
dear Jan, thank you for this amazing video editorial , and would like to know is there any possible that you will upload some retouch editorial about fashion magazine such as VOGUE etc ? about how to fix clothes texture, leather , ground, building , over all the whole image vibe . how you fix the model skins when it's appears on fashion. 🙏
Well I watch the 5 videos and have inspired me and have learned a lot. I appreciate a lot the openness to teach. If it´s not much to ask, would it be hard to share the grain patterns, or that would be to much to ask? :)
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Ricardo, highly appreciated! It would be easy to share the patterns. But I would highly recommend and prefer for you to produce these by yourself (from Capture One or Camera Raw), so that you learn the process and get a feel for it. There’s a full short video on this on my channel. Give it a go!
@@JanWischermann I´ve donde them. Did like them... It´s a bit trial and error to see which one works best, but yes, they are sutil and very nice. Thanks for that!
8:41 - so, you just desaturated the neck a bit, right? I've tested this method, if the Opacity is 50%, the image becomes black&white This way looks quite exotic in comparison to more common Hue-Saturation adjustment.
Using an invert adjustment layer is actually the most natural way of desaturating any color. This is because you are using every colors exact opposite color to balance it out. Hence its grey, when set to 50 %. And if you set the invert layer to "subtract" instead of "Color" you have a very natural saturation boost when bringing it in slowly from 0% to say 10-20 % - give it a go, it's amazing!
@@JanWischermann In most cases dealing with the skin chromatic imperfections (which often are reddish or yellowish saturated areas) we need not only to reduce the saturation, but also to change the hue. And before that to select these areas quite precisely. So I prefer the Hue-Saturation with it's eyedropper selection tool. You know and use that as well (27:52)
@@JanWischermann Just played with the Invert adjustment and accidently found out that it can't completely desaturate bright and saturated colors (when the values are more than 70%). As for the Subtract mode, it also darkens the image which isn't appropriate if we need just to boost the colors. I use the Vibrance for that.
Sure, it always depends on the task at hand. Still, using the invert adjustment layer on „color“ blending mode and with low opacity is a super natural way to deal with oversaturated parts in an image. To be even more precise you can mask it in locally or use color range selections to kurz tackle skin tones, reds, yellows, you name it. But everyone should use what works best for her/himself ✌🏼

The value shouldn’t be higher than 50%, because it will start inverting when higher than 50%. That’s what the invert layer does 😉
