Wow, so the first time I watched this video, I was just beginning to use Photoshop. But now that I am an intermediate user and can understand about 87% of what he is saying, I appreciate it even more. All the little tips Mr. Oprinca gives along the way are priceless. So, I imagine when I watch this again in a couple of years down the road, I will really get it. Thanks Mr. Oprinca!
I love this style of live experimentation. Some commentators complained about length, but as an intermediate to advanced user, I find it useful to see how you try different techniques to achieve similar effects, and then discard the ones that weren't successful. Funny thing is... one of the most useful parts of the whole tutorial for me was the shift-drag layer clone to a second file tab! I always have to rt-click on the layer and duplicate... tedious!
I love how you make these professional and in-depth tutorials. They might not be good for beginners, but they are definitely the best for intermediate users. Keep up the good work. I hope you never take them down.
I was a little put off at how long the tutorial was, but after watching a few minutes I just have to say this was amazing!! Step by step process of something I've always wanted to learn. Thanks!
OMG one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Super simple stuff used in the best possible ways and ending up with a spectacular result. The genius on how to keep the exact shadow alone blew my mind.
Simply fantastic tutorial. It's great to see the process you go through instead of instantly seeing the perfect steps to the final image. I think this type of tutorial is infinitely more helpful.
Amazing what you can do with photoshop,this looks absolutely astonishing and REAL!! i would have never guessed that the raper was not in the same photo,it looks obviously photoshoped but not to that degree he did!! Thanks i cant wait to play with my photos .
This is amazing. I don't know why people are complaining about the size, it doesn't look bad. People think too literally. Love the effects. Thanks for the video.
levels and curves control the contrast. you can make the blacks blacker and the whites whiter, which will minimise the amount of mid tones or greys.with the burn tool, it is like literally getting a lighter and burning the page. the burn tool is used to create shadows. this tool only affects the area you brush over, and not the entire image like the curves tool.
It doesn't matter how many times you tweaked the effects. It should be that way. It was brilliant and I learned a lot. Keep up the excellent work. Thanks.
I am new to RUclips. I'd just like to say thank you for making your brushes public and free to download. Please post more Photoshop tutorials--they're very helpful. Great job on your videos, keep it up!
Listen ! In four words - YOU ARE THE BEST - I like all of your videos and I watched all of them. You helped me and helps me alot. I hope that I'll be like you in the future. Really thanks! Please , Share and upload more tutorials. btw, I really likes your trick with the Dodge and Burn tool I saw the tutorial about it and I'm using it.
Finally I find a channel with advanced and useful tutorials on Photo Manipulation This shit about keeping shadows from original with levels and multiply (at 10:00) blow my mind! You are dope man; and you just got a new subscriber who will watch all of your videos from past and in the future.. All the best!
It will be :) I upgraded my music pc to an ssd drive, and the speed difference is amazing. (and of course it doesn't make any sound either). The SSD is the boot drive but I also use a standard 1TB hard drive for storage.
I just came across your tutorials today and I cannot believe I've been missing out on so much good photoshop content for so long. Please keep making tutorials because you are amazing at this!
Awesome tutorial, wonderful instructor, you have been a great help to me for future classes in graphic design major, classes beginning August 17, 2014. Thanx!!!
Hi, I'm from German. It's not easy to follow but it is absolut great. The technic is so super and that is what makes the tutorial so fantastic. Br Norbert
Awesome ! Its not only the Hard Light Effect I learned . But many very useful Photoshop tips during the tutorial that are useful for my other projects. You teach well ! Thanks !
i love this tutorial wicked i just learned new technques but ill have to watch it over couple times and practice with it same pic n backround so i know what to do thank u dude
Brilliant, thanks. Very useful. I love these dramatic lighting effects. I've learnt a few new methods! I need to watch your previous tutorials now to learn the basics too. Thanks.
This is a tutorial for advanced users. If you never used photoshop before you should start with the basics first and after couple of years return and watch this one. :)
felicitarile mele, pot spune ca ai cele mai usor de inteles tutoriale din cite am vazut pe net. Chear si eu am invatat citeva trucuri de la tine.:) Multumim si poate scoti un dvd cu ceva tehnici pentru fotografi.
the best tutorial i have come across. very thorough and descriptive.. only one mistake was the you ignoring the aspect ratio of the the model on that road. It seems like a two way inter state road where two huge trucks can cross each other easily. Now your model looks like a giant in comparison to that road since his image is filling everything from right to the left of both ends of the road. nevertheless, awesome work and thumbs up
Nice tutorial.. The size doesn't botther me, you could achieve something like that depending on the lens and perspective you use in a camera. I think the idea of the video was nice, good job sharing your work.
Very cool, you obviously know how to find your way through Photoshop (which I don't :-/) - nice tutorial, I like it a lot and the result looks awesome!
Please if someone could help me..I had a problem when I tried to apply the lightning effect, it did appear on the render options, but I couldn't click on it, why? I did select the second stamp created previously.. Thanks for the help in advance.

That guy is huge compared to the road :) GIANT!
it's a two bicycle lane road ;)
+Huitzil Azul in the middle of no where?
I've read many compositing books from the big names and they did not have these great techniques on shadows.. Great job. Thanks!
OMG one of the best tutorials I have ever seen. Super simple stuff used in the best possible ways and ending up with a spectacular result. The genius on how to keep the exact shadow alone blew my mind.
what matters in this tutorial is the technique he uses. that helps those who want to learn. good tutorial man. Nice tutorial

Thank you very much! Its a good Tutorial to learn how to use Light Effects.
Greetings from Thailand
Absolutely!
Thats so much work! You can do it more easy with for example the rgb curves
Amazing. Thanks for share your skills. I was looking for the way to make the skin with that shape. Thanks again.
Awesome shadow work.
I'm going to look that up and use it.
Great tutorial, the only fault I could find was that the guy is absolutely huge compared to the road. Some very sweet techniques here.
Great work, keep it up!
Andrei ruined me when it comes to watching other tutorials. He does his work so well that I kinda don't like watching other people now
so how you extract the model ?
