I like the creativity of the piece and the attention to detail. Very wall worthy. This is where I minge. It is not a real representation of what you saw. A creation. That being said, I also agree that we need to break the rules. Photography is also a creative medium and needs to be recognized as one. Just like a painter or sculptor. Just declare your creation. Which you did.
This color--grading was interesting. I had never before seen it done this way. ❤ … I am looking forward to holding your new book in my hands. Thank you, cheers 😊
Thank you so much for the Tutorial, I didn't know about the Colour Matching Technique this way. This is exactly the type of Tutorial I love watching and I learned so much from it. Cheers! 😃🙏
Hi Gavin a friend of mine is having real trouble with her photoshop work flow, People like to pixel peep at about 900% and could see some work she had done to correct her little brats in a family portrait. she is a bit under the weather at the moment and some photoshop tutorials might cheer her up. Could you maybe send her some links via Buckingham palace in the UK?
Phantasmagorical, this content i.e. techniqua, is what I was looking for when you were asking for suggestions for the channel. Except I forgot to say that (sorry). I was distracted by grumpies latest video (sorry again). Great video (this one), I guess one can learn this stuff from trial and error but having a working photographers perspective working through the technique is invaluable.
Great video Gavin. I probably wouldn’t swap anything so different as this, but it definitely shows (or rather reminds me) what’s possible. It opens up some creative opportunities for sure. 😊 Thanks!
I must try that colour changing technique myself. I don’t actually have Photoshop, but have Affinity Photo. Probably have to adapt the method somewhat.
Great vid Gavin! I missed these from you, by the way, it's feeling like summer back here on the island mate😅 (...sorry, that was mean). And, if there's "a better way", yours is still much better than how I have been doing this color matching.
I regularly pack a pair of very cheap, very light weight foam knee pads. They can be had for about $5 - $10 from Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon. You can even use them in a pinch to sit on.
Lovely! I've been using a substantially more tedious way to use curves to do exactly the same thing. Never imagined I could do it by just moving one of the layers over! many thanks!!
The trifecta , humor, outdoor location, editing technique. I'll add I enjoy your effects in your video's, not many talk about them. Keep doing you Gavin. Much appreciated !!!
The initial camera you were using I noticed had a 4x4 grid on the screen, much like my Nikons. Useful for horizontals and verticals, but surely 3x3 would be better. My old Panasonic has 3x3. 🤷♂️
I’d recommend fjallraven g1000 pants with the knee pad insert. Then go to job site work wear or work authority and get in pant knee pads. Works amazing. Saved my knees for work and doing landscape photography
They have one pair in “buckwheat brown” that aren’t the two tone. Haha. Still would work though helly Hansen may also have some pants that are similar. I’m not 100 percent sure on that though
I think Gavin knows that he would look like an amateur next to Amanda. I mean, he is pretty good, but Amanda is probably on a completely different level...
Thanks for the colour matching tips, i found those useful bud. 1 critique i would give on the final image would be that the perspective of the ice you bought into the mountain photo didn't quite sync. This could be fine tuned by doing a perspective warp/transform on the ice layer. #imNotTrollAmI?
My biggest wish is to travel to this location, and now that I know that it's just a matter of making something fake in PS, it makes traveling so much cheaper. The hunt for (fake) Awes MKII comming soon :)
Thanks for the photoshop help, I've been sticking to lightroom as I never can seem to get the hang of photoshop-this helps a lot. Also, It's your art, change it as you please. I would also love to see city scapes of Nova Scotia, any plans on that?
I’ve saved this episode for future reference. It might have less disreputable applications:-). One possibility is a solution for the nightscaper’s nightmare, the “blue hour blend,” color matching the night sky illuminated by starlight with a landscape illuminated by early twilight.
I'm seeking validation with saucy comments! Nevermind, I'm hungry, corned beef and spicy mustard! Too bad I'm on call though, can't raise one to ya until wednesday.
Book purchased 👍 I just hope that will stop you from hawking it in every video you put out.... oh wait, no I don't, I love the way you shoe horn in a quick promotion (link in the descrippy) 👍 Long may the shenanigans continue.
You've shown a really great (and relatively easy) way to accomplish the look you were after, and anyone competent in Photoshop knows there's multiple ways to achieve a desired result. Trolling not required. Cheers!
I feel somewhat conflicted by this video. I follow Ansel Adams' ethos, in that I am willing to clone out a branch or something else, but adding things is something I feel very uneasy about. Your video, though, does show just how a composite image might be well executed.
Hey Gav, about them old knees, one old dude to another, you should think about ... I know this sounds goofy... but a cheap yoga mat is amazing. Relatively light, can be rolled up, folded up, whatever you need and crappy tire has em for like $20.
I take with me some times, one of those gardeners foam pads; good to sit on when wet ground and to kneel on when down low; when not in use, just clip it to the outside of the backpack. On your colour matching, do you select the White tip --- i got confused, i thought you said tit ;)
Regarding your previous video about changing tack have you seen this? ruclips.net/video/ITnRlUadZZI/видео.htmlsi=EAdxLDh7EPXmoByY . Your boat race appears in the intro along with Danson's.
I use a similar technique when I blend my big noggin onto a suitably svelte body ... the only drawback is that I can never leave the house or people will know ... 😁 Beautiful winter waterfall by the way!
This is what I needed. Although, not really replace part of the scene. But there's more days like the first photo, and you can easily edit a photo from a bland day, to a day with great light. An upgrade is not wrong for my beliefs. I just haven't gotten to that point yet to learn how to do that.
You can buy insulated work pants with a pocket on each leg for knee pads. Perfect for winter. You can buy non insulated ones as well with knee pads in place.
Gavin , that was brilliant , Im glad to see that you paid some attention to the comments in last weeks video ,now , Im not saying that you have to do this every week , Oh no , that would make your life far to easy , but for an O.A.P. like me , it now gives me a chance to learn something new and keep the old cells ticking over , thank you , Phil
almost there. now, put a color saturator on top of the stack and crank it up to clipping colors and you'll see the last differences (left image is greener than that on the right). tune frome there, then delete the saturator. try it. thank me later.
interesting video Gavin, just trying to get to grips with layers, so thanks for your info, It makes me shiver to watch your location, we have not had any snow in my location in England this winters, I had to travel to some higher ground so I could get snow images. cheers.

I love your message to the trolls! F'n brilliant!
Although we didn't see you take an icy plunge, I definitely enjoyed your tips re: color matching. Thanks you!

Would love to see some of Amanda's photos from her Hasselblad. I imagine they are amazing.
Thanks for sharing the colour matching technique. Different challenges for us to try each week! 😊
This color--grading was interesting. I had never before seen it done this way. ❤ … I am looking forward to holding your new book in my hands. Thank you, cheers 😊
Its OK!! You got away with it.. no one noticed the water defying gravity at 3.22 🤣
Great video Gavin! Love the icy waterfalls myself ! Learned a lot 😊
Excellent Gavin. Keep these coming.
I don't often get into the large PS manipulations but found this to be very enlightening. And entertaining delivery of course! Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for the Tutorial, I didn't know about the Colour Matching Technique this way. This is exactly the type of Tutorial I love watching and I learned so much from it. Cheers! 😃🙏
Beautiful frozen waterfall / creek !!

I've got just the ticket www.fototripper.com/store/photoshop-for-morons-hd-video-tutorials/
LOL I love how at 3:24 mark that the water and waterfall are going uphill instead of downhill 🤣
Thanks for the helpful tutorial. My mind is reeling with possibilities for some creative images.
that was a great wee PS tip and trick

A great tutorial, with lots of sauce! Thanks Gavin!!
Nice-great info Gavin. Thanks!!! Pay no attention to those haters-super easy to whinge while doing nothing of your own.
Perfect way to spend a sunday! Cant wait to learn a lesson or two from this tenderized lobster!
Thanks for the informative video, really helps someone like me, who's not all that great on PS, learn some new skills 😊
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great Info!
Very helpful instruction! Thanks.
Great video Gavin. I probably wouldn’t swap anything so different as this, but it definitely shows (or rather reminds me) what’s possible. It opens up some creative opportunities for sure. 😊
Thanks!
Thanks for buying the book Barbara :)
@@fototripper wouldn’t miss it. ☺️
Great video and great tutorial. Thank you so much.
You might want to drop a line to Kensington Palace and get a By Royal Appointment badge on your channel.
Or not.
Excellent video .Many thanks.
I must try that colour changing technique myself. I don’t actually have Photoshop, but have Affinity Photo. Probably have to adapt the method somewhat.
Inspiring to say the least! Btw I like the backward flowing waterfall and from now on I will think of HP sauce when working with a source image.
That troll voice was incredible! 😂
Great vid Gavin! I missed these from you, by the way, it's feeling like summer back here on the island mate😅 (...sorry, that was mean). And, if there's "a better way", yours is still much better than how I have been doing this color matching.
I hadn't seen that done, thank you!
I regularly pack a pair of very cheap, very light weight foam knee pads. They can be had for about $5 - $10 from Walmart, Home Depot, Amazon. You can even use them in a pinch to sit on.
Appreciate the editing tips Gavin, thanks mate 👍❄️
Excellent tutorial episode! Thank you so much for sharing this with your subscribers, really helpful!
Love the new channel

I think Adobe or Sony or Manfrotto should offer a feature to help with old knees. I'd pay a monthly subscription for it. 🤣
I’d recommend fjallraven g1000 pants with the knee pad insert. Then go to job site work wear or work authority and get in pant knee pads. Works amazing. Saved my knees for work and doing landscape photography
but are they two-tone?
They have one pair in “buckwheat brown” that aren’t the two tone. Haha. Still would work though helly Hansen may also have some pants that are similar. I’m not 100 percent sure on that though
Braver man than I walking on that ice lol. 📸😎
Great video. Thank you.
Omg Gavin I just hope you weren't mixing salt water with fresh water 😂😂😂 Other than that great tutorial👍👍
Loved this! A perfect mix of humour and advanced photo editing.
Nice work but at 3:25, you ran the video backwards. Water doesn't run uphill.
Are you sure? Maybe watch again and let me know...
Yes, I saw that too…
Yes I also saw that immediately upon viewing the video
Wow... the water was flowing backwards. Must have been really weird weather conditions.. 😉
WOW....I really needed to see that. I hate driving for hours only to come home with a so so shot.
Since Amanda won't lend you her camera when will we see some of her photos?
I think Gavin knows that he would look like an amateur next to Amanda. I mean, he is pretty good, but Amanda is probably on a completely different level...
Nice vid G man. Not sure why someone is asking about your prostrate on here? 😂 Mine gets checked every time I go grocery shopping these days. 😢
Thanks for the colour matching tips, i found those useful bud. 1 critique i would give on the final image would be that the perspective of the ice you bought into the mountain photo didn't quite sync. This could be fine tuned by doing a perspective warp/transform on the ice layer. #imNotTrollAmI?
Mabuhay Gavin ! for dodgy knees you can purchase cushioned knee protectors from army surplus: lightweight and very effective.
My biggest wish is to travel to this location, and now that I know that it's just a matter of making something fake in PS, it makes traveling so much cheaper. The hunt for (fake) Awes MKII comming soon :)
Heated knee pads for the ice 😂
Hi Gavin I really enjoyed the editing I learned quite a lot from your learning here thank you and well done
So generous of her to lend you that beautiful camera
Why does it look so bloody easy when you do it? (BTW I know why!)
Thanks for the photoshop help, I've been sticking to lightroom as I never can seem to get the hang of photoshop-this helps a lot. Also, It's your art, change it as you please. I would also love to see city scapes of Nova Scotia, any plans on that?
Which city?
I would love to see any really but Halifax would be amazing. I plan to travel to the province for a gaze this year.
You could get a job at Buckingham Palace.
You got me, I thought all along that your images were more honest than this. That's too bad.
Ask me no questions...
Wow !! What a spot man!! Old knees did well to get down in that for so long !! Great explanation on the edit too! Savage idea for the blend
Cheers mate.
Saw Uncle Grumpy yesterday at the photography show in Birmingham, also Heaton and Danson. Where were you??
Never got invited. I'm not one of the cool kids.
I need to buy your new book. Should be pretty awesome.
Spell colour correctly you ain’t American
I’m taking photos of hair and I’m having trouble getting the hair color to match the photo color.
I’ve saved this episode for future reference. It might have less disreputable applications:-). One possibility is a solution for the nightscaper’s nightmare, the “blue hour blend,” color matching the night sky illuminated by starlight with a landscape illuminated by early twilight.
Gavin. Get yourself some good work trousers with knee pockets for kneeling pads to be inserted. As required.
Would they be two-tone pants by any chance?

Hi Gavin, Brilliant. I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who uses this technique. Keep up the good work.

Gavin can you do the same edit in lightroom please
LR simply cannot.
I use a similar technique when I blend my big noggin onto a suitably svelte body ... the only drawback is that I can never leave the house or people will know ... 😁 Beautiful winter waterfall by the way!
Great creation! The masters have nothing on you! Excellent work because it’s your image and you should create it how you want it
Well done!
“Nothing tells you that you need to lose weight like the sound of cracking ice around you .” 😂
This is what I needed. Although, not really replace part of the scene. But there's more days like the first photo, and you can easily edit a photo from a bland day, to a day with great light. An upgrade is not wrong for my beliefs. I just haven't gotten to that point yet to learn how to do that.
So then, Gavin, what do you tell a person when they ask you where this shot was taken? Oh, here and there, ha ha!
it was taken about 4 ft from my lens.
@@fototripper good one!
Great tutorial Gavin,.........thank you! Who says you cheat in Photoshop, you create 😂
"That's not the right way to do it! There's a much better way. You don't know what you're doing. " What does amanda think?
That's not right, you forgot to include Kate Middleton and her dustbin lids.
You can buy insulated work pants with a pocket on each leg for knee pads. Perfect for winter. You can buy non insulated ones as well with knee pads in place.
I use that technique when I pick a new girlfriend. I use my hand as a mask when looking at the components.
Apparently you haven’t met most humans…they have to complain. It’s in their DNA. Thanks for the great video
Thanks for the tip! Your mini-tutorials are always helpful. Your photoshop for morons tutorials have been EXTREMELY helpful for me as well.
Thanks
Great video man! This is the type of content that made me follow you years ago. Thank you.
Love the troll brother and love the video thanks for the top tip I am going to buy some KNEE PADS 😂
"That's not the right way to do it! Their is a much better way! You don't know what you're doing!!" 🤣 Great tutorial.
Can you enlighten me as to why you rasterize the layer before color matching?
Thanks.
Gavin , that was brilliant , Im glad to see that you paid some attention to the comments in last weeks video ,now , Im not saying that you have to do this every week , Oh no , that would make your life far to easy , but for an O.A.P. like me , it now gives me a chance to learn something new and keep the old cells ticking over , thank you , Phil
i tell ya. women don't want to share anything 🤣🤣🤣
Stunning shots and great tutorial.
Great photography, plus insightful Ps tutorial. Thanks Gavin!
Great tutorial Gavin! Just enough detail for a person new to PS. Thx!!
almost there. now, put a color saturator on top of the stack and crank it up to clipping colors and you'll see the last differences (left image is greener than that on the right). tune frome there, then delete the saturator. try it. thank me later.
