I swear, you deserve to be knighted. There’s a very short list of people/groups who make such helpful and quality content. On your website and on in these tutorials. Please never stop, we are grateful! 🙏🙂
Nice! Rad tutorial as always. I make movie posters. I do all of my original composition work completely in black-and-white. That way I can figure out all of the design and brightness/contrast stuff up front. Once all of those elements are in a good place I move into color. Before that, color can be a distraction that hides some of the more fundamental problems with the layout.
That's a fantastic piece of advice about the color! I've also noticed on your website that you do a lot of work sketching things out which is also a HUGE benefit - thinking about concept and composition before even getting in the trenches...
You're a lengend, my friend. I used to be a top of the food chain photoshop professional in the 2000's but there are so many tools and techniques you use that weren't even possible back then so I didn't know about until I watch your video.
As a movie poster fanatic, that uses every opportunity to create a poster-like graphic for an event, a promo, a project, etc., this is just MINDBLOWINGLY valuable! Invaluable, I should say! Subscribed, bell-ed, liked, commented, and forever grateful!!!
Hey Brady why the hell are you not in TV or hosting a radio show...great look, great voice and very personable and I'm sure everyone would agree! Thanks for these videos, absolutely amazing and informative.
Nothing short of amazing!!! This is how you teach, no long drawed out exspensive course, just short impactful instruction, no fluff. I am so happy to be a subscriber to this channel. What I love most about your teachings is that many people want you to pay for these golden rules, I of course have a profound belief that the world of creativity is stiffled when we only teach for money and not to open the door for a fresh idea of someone with a vision in their mind but, not the money to get a teacher to help them maifest that vision because of a lack of money to learn that skill, you are truly a Jedi Master sir.
holy moly that low resolution poster is such a good case study in what our actual limits are vs. our perceived limits in the creative process, love it!
I've been trying to learn poster tutorials the last year on RUclips. This is the best & most well explained video I've come across. Thanks so much. Would love to see some more of these 🤞
@@Texturelabs I've been using a similar technique for years using the border selection, but instead used blur to get the cutout to "sit" better in a composition. I will def try out your Minimum trick now.
Big fan of Texturelabs as a Graphic Artist/Designer, this is like a movie for me every time you have an ep. like this one. I already have popcorn, that's for sure!
That trick/technique for fringe edges blew my mind, and i use photoshop since version 3 (it came on 8 floppy disks :) Your channel is truly above all other PS channels! Minimal/maximal are those options you see everyday but not quite sure what to do with them. Would be nice if you could make a video about the oversighted/hidden gems options/functions in photoshop.
Amazing tips we have here. Lot of excellent information in one video. Kindly make more of this top notch tutorial as we would love to see more of it type.. Thanks greatly for sharing. Cheers.
Wait . . . you pushed a button and then magic happened . . . and then I was all WHOA!! That edge treatment is a dream come true! DEFINITELY have to put that in my arsenal!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your tutotials always show real craftsmanship - and it's great that you make them easily accessible for everone. I always learn something new!
I have been using photoshop since 2002, most of this is standard for me but the last trick with gaussian blur of 1 pixel then camera raw? and the border haze tip? Blew my mind my friend....excellent job! it's the little tricks that get me. Instant sub.
You doing an incredible job on your videos. I can't describe how good your channel is. I always go back to your videos to find an inspiration and techniques. My Photoshop skills are not that great but you help me so much especially in understanding of how stuff works. I know your videos are more for the pros. But could you consider diving in a little bit more details of how and why you use polygonal lasso tool to make your selections. It might be just a section in your regular video. Sorry for my English😅 and thanks for your hard work
Whoa! Mind blown. You taught me a lot, especially that little trick using border then minimum to get rid of fringe. Nice tip and officially added to my toolkit. I've been using Photoshop since it first came out and I never knew what you could do with Camera Raw. It's always a pleasure to learn something new.
Dude!! What an amazing tutorial, I used to believe this was too complex and you made it into a super efficient workflow. And as always, thank you for great tutorials!! keep up the good work!
Awesome step by step! It does take some basic skills for granted such as understanding of lighting and composition, which is a whole different can of worms. But it gives so much useful advice in such a concise form that it would be useful for every level of proficiency.
This is the type of youtube channel that yout click the like button before the guy finishes its first word because you know that the content will be good
Thank you for the tip about dealing with the fringe on cutouts. I have always had a bit of difficulty dealing with them, usually just cutting them out and then feathering them a bit.
been wanting to create movieposters for decor for ages bus always stopped because somehow it didnt turn out how i imagined it. now i know why, thank you!!
I love your channel and keep recommending it whenever someone mentions photoshop. That said, while this certainly shows how to get close to a modern movie poster it does also inherit all the shallowness of modern designs.
So many great techniques and the final result is spot on. I'm working on a version that's all my own illustrations, but I'm sure following your approach will make it so much better. Thanks bunches!!
As someone who illustrates movie posters for a living, I can say these are solid steps for managing an image. Do keep in mind, that a finisher will take a 4k image and blow it up to 12k or more on the long side, then they will clean it up and prepare the file for client delivery. I generally start an illustration at 12k and work full finish size the entire way through the process since blowing up an illustration will have a very negative effect on line quality.
Perfect. I use some of your method compositing generally but the technique to eliminate fringe is brilliant. How many days of my life have I wasted manually erasing fringe or compensating for losing parts of the image when crudely contracting the selection and masking? Thank you!
This was amazing an I learned a TON. Thankyou. The only thing that I might try different is after using the camera raw filter to make the images painterly-ish. I might try a pass where I physically paint a few choice highlights or fleshtones. Not to do the entire thing, but if the viewer sees a few brush strokes, they might buy the illusion more thoroughly
That’s fantastic! I’m just getting into this whole realm after a stent in studying concept art. How well do some of these techniques cross over into book cover design and illustration? Fantastic content, and really helpful tutorial. Thanks a ton!
Such amazing work coming from the concept art world... One thing I like about the movie poster format is that one can apply so many different skills in a single image. Illustration, 3d modeling, photography. Then there's conceptual thinking, traditional aesthetics, typography - it's endless. I think in the format of this video, Illustration would be super useful in providing starting assets (but also just ups your compositing game in general). The best book cover design seems to apply many of the same principles, but I find tends to be more stripped down to singular, high-concept images... Thanks Michael!
The technique for eliminating that white edge on a selection is brilliant. Thank you!
Yeah, that is some brilliant stuff! God damn haha.
Omg. That border refinement method with minimum is absolutely GENIOUS.
You're a goldmine when it comes to the tricks and power of Photoshop
Cool, glad it had may have had some useful stuff! 🙌

your work is incredible Aaron. I hope to reach out for one of my upcoming films ;)
@@mjregan88 sir can you suggest me your website
Love that you include some of the before/after on your website.
Great stuff. I'm seriously considering voting for this man for president.
I knew about using 'minimum' on layer masks, but not about using it with 'border'. Amazing! 🤯
You're a lengend, my friend. I used to be a top of the food chain photoshop professional in the 2000's but there are so many tools and techniques you use that weren't even possible back then so I didn't know about until I watch your video.
Especially appreciated Step 7 as all those glorious layers were revealed.
Oh great.. I thought that may slow down the pacing of the video a bit, so I'm glad to hear it was a good moment!

What a great video. Thank you. I've been a graphic designer for 20 years and the way you explain what I'm think in plain english is a skill!
Every video has something that blows me away. This one it was getting rid of the selection border. Years of struggle finally a good solution!

holy moly that low resolution poster is such a good case study in what our actual limits are vs. our perceived limits in the creative process, love it!
It kind of surprised me too! It was also super super fast working at low res. Kind of fun for just pushing things around...
I've been trying to learn poster tutorials the last year on RUclips. This is the best & most well explained video I've come across. Thanks so much. Would love to see some more of these 🤞
Never a dull moment with you Brady! This process breakdown was fascinating. The Minimum technique to remove the matted edges was brilliant!
Thanks Jake! Min and max - super useful - it kills me that you only get "squareness" mode in AE...
@@Texturelabs I've been using a similar technique for years using the border selection, but instead used blur to get the cutout to "sit" better in a composition.
I will def try out your Minimum trick now.
2:50 Wow! Mind blown out into space!! Huge thanks for this game changing tip! 😮😍🤩
Duuude!! this must be an episode of "The Masked Magician" .So sweet touches at the end! Really greatful for your help 🙏🏼
Big fan of Texturelabs as a Graphic Artist/Designer, this is like a movie for me every time you have an ep. like this one. I already have popcorn, that's for sure!
Every one of your tutorials absolutely blows my mind man. Truly top tier
Minimum filter so clutch! Your channel seriously brings so much value.
Amazing tutorial! A few of those pitfalls screamed at me about some of my previous work, less is more!. Thank you Brady

2:06 I've been using photoshop for over 20 years and I think you might have just changed the way I mask things from now on :0
Wow, each piece of advice from your tuts it's pure gold! Big fan!
another masterclass. thank you brady!
I liked the idea of NASA's image gallery and Texture Labs x

You never disappoint
great video.... really loved the simple breakdown of layer placements and starting point of a poster. :)
I love this tutorial. Breaking everything down into steps is a great help. Thank you...
What a Good Tutorial Ngl and I love Movie Poster.
Glad to learn the Border+Minimum Filter trick👌
Man I absolutely love the efforts you put into all this. Thank you. Thank you so so much for doing this. Please keep on doing it.
I love your channel and keep recommending it whenever someone mentions photoshop. That said, while this certainly shows how to get close to a modern movie poster it does also inherit all the shallowness of modern designs.
that technique to remove the edge in masking is SO DAMN USEFUL. Going to save me hours of cleaning up.
Great as always! Keep it simple! So great, thanks Brady!
and here i thought I knew how to count to 9... ;-)
thanks for the great tutorial!
The aesthetic/style is also known as the Classic "Mondo" Movie Poster style.
Great video as always!

Thank you for creating this kind of videos, more movie posters please!
Absolutely loved this one!! Great work!
Amazing video as always (and 2:50 was such a little bonus gem). Thank you!
That's awesome! You made it look like wasn't that complicated 🤙
THIS IS THE MOST SIMPLE AND HELPFUL TUTORIAL, THANK YOU SO MUCH! ❤️❤️
You can also use the LAYER -> MATTING technique to remove the fringing. Works very well in a lot of situations.
Good call!
Killer... Amazing as always. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
so much info in such a short time, thanks!
Great advice from the expert.
tremendous process. thank you for the tips bro
That Minimum halo trick was worth the price of admission.
So many great techniques and the final result is spot on. I'm working on a version that's all my own illustrations, but I'm sure following your approach will make it so much better. Thanks bunches!!

Really great tutorial as usual! You make it so easy to follow along and I'm looking forward to applying some of these techniques on future projects.
Dude, amazing content! Thank you so much!
Super nice content! I usually apply some grain in Camera Raw, it is making all come together so nicely, even with light settings
Perfect. I use some of your method compositing generally but the technique to eliminate fringe is brilliant.
How many days of my life have I wasted manually erasing fringe or compensating for losing parts of the image when crudely contracting the selection and masking?
