Calvin, you sound great. Don't listen to people who are incapable of putting a sentence together. I could listen to you all day. You're work is great and you're a fantastic teacher.
Most. Entertaining. Narration. Ever. I was highly entertained. This is a youtube poster that knows exactly what he is doing to rope in his audience. Well done.
Sense of a humor is a subjective thing; personally it brought a smile on my face. Had me even more engrossed in your training because of your teaching style. I fall asleep/perish in videos which just go from step to step, share no logic why a certain step is being taken. While I am sure there are many who don't want to know why a certain step is being taken & can do with spoon-feeding. I like your personalized style - not every artist is a great teacher: you are 1 of the few exceptions.
Calvin, not many top photographers and Photoshop experts reveal as much as you do. This is fantastic , thanks for taking the time to share this "freaky" process! Please keep sharing your knowledge.
Take a chill pill. If you don't like how Calvin teaches, don't do what he's showing you. That will keep the market more lucrative for those of us who do use his techniques to differentiate and provide clients with something different.
Calvin, don't worry about your English! We are not here to studying the language but for your AWESOME tutorials! Dude, give us more and keep moving forward!
Thanks for the tutorial. I enjoyed it a lot and inspired me to try some sort of this technique on GIMP. I am not a professional, and yes, I enjoyed your jokes. Your light-hearted approach is a very refreshing, and for me it's the subject matter that counts. Danke.
Dude you rock!!! The info that you relate is good solid useful info! People who don't like your style can watch other people's tutorials. You do a great job of info sharing (kinda rare in the competitive/secret wold of Photoshop)! THANKS for what you do! Keep sharing! :))
haha I randomly found you Calvin. You're super funny and your tutorials are awesome! ... Non professional people are hating you all over RUclips rightnow haha keep up the great work!
Fantastic to see this technique explained well! I often add mask the vivid light layer for foreground detail. Don't you dare adjust your jokes … or anything;) Got no time for flaccid presentations. Looking forward to your next!! ps: Haters and sensitive folk won't survive this line of work. They shall surely end up clear-cutting building supplies.
Really weird. First he starts with a very heavily processed image and then he does things and shows before and after and they are no or insignificant changes.
People he can do what he wants. He is taking out time to teaching us and the fact that it's free what's there to complain about? we should all be grateful and just put up with it
My 1st time watching your video, I'm hooked! Love your humor... you must have a great personality... and your tut was very informative. I wish you continued success on all future endeavours.
Brilliant Calvin been following your work for years. LOved Calvanize and al you're recent stuff. I even started to learn German so I could understand your non English tutorials. Thanks for keeping up the good work.
Thank you Calvin. I happy to learning english with you. (I don't joking) It's true because I can understand what you explain, you're cool and don't worry some people. (sorry for my poor english.)
Easier, more effective and simpler method ; Frequency Separation. + Duplicate layer twice. + Group them. + Select the bottom layer, rename to "Blur" and blur it using Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur (I usually do a 12-25 Pixels) + Select the top group layer and call it "High Pass". Go to Menu - Image - Apply Image + In the Apply Image menu : Select the Blur Layer, change blend mode to Subtract and Scale = 2, Offset = 128 + Change the High Pass blending mode to Linear Light + Add layer mask to High Pass layer. Paint in additional details for ultra control or lower the opacity for simpler method. Cheers
Thanks for the tutorial, the only thing I saw change in the before and after was the shadow of the girl. Not trying to seem ungrateful at all, just trying to learn techniques, but didn't see much happen, and why was there 2 background copies made, I only saw changed made to the 2nd layer copy? Thanks in advance!
I love this tutorial. I add a layer mask to the group so that I can control where the detail goes and how strong by adjusting my brush opacity. I have actually made this into an action. I use it all the time!! Thanks
Thank you for this video, i found it realy useful, just added one more photoshop tip to my skils. And should i mention i been laughing through whole thing!!!! OMG, you are great :)
Hi Calvin, i have one question because my english is not as good as yours. The Filter "surface blur" means "matter machen" in the German Version of CS6 !?!?!?!? Thx for helb
I totally dig your style of humor. I don't give a damn do Americans get it or not but it has its (soft) punch! You're the first German who makes jokes I know of. Go on, do more, don't pay attention who put you down. Keep cool. Tschüß!
Very nice tut. Can I Ask a question? The picture from wich you start the tutorial is a kind of "draw" or "paint" style. Is there a tutorial teaching to transform a normal photo in a "comic style" like this? I saw also picture of Jack sparrow in such style, can you tell us how to do? (a link to a tut is enough) Thanks
This is the first time i am seeing this tonight.. With just regular sharpening you can control detail and radius and all that.. so why is this one preferred? is it even more control? it looks like the same end result unless i'm mistaken. ?? anyone opinions..? i'm high intermediate Photoshop skill level.
Sorry that you dont like it but i get 10 times more feedback thats it was good then bad. Also the stats are better then my other english videos. But thanks a lot, i will think about it.
I thought you were awesome and people need to understand that sarcasm and humor is very different and varies with different languages. Awesome tutorial and yes i did find you funny.
Wo ist der Unterschied zwischen dem Highpassfilter und dieser Technik? Ich meine, wieso sollte ich nicht einfach den Hochpassfilter mit Motus Lineares Licht benutzen?
Hey, Calvin. Really enjoyed your tutorial, and I think you are very funny as well! Don't take any notice of the guy who said you weren't - I certainly appreciated your sense of humour! But I'm wondering if you can explain one detail for me. Why use surface blur instead of Gaussian blur (which runs instantly where surface blur takes ages)? I tried it on one of my images and got, what I felt were equally good images with either technique. Both seemed to give "freaky amazing detail".
Did see you explaining this tecniek on kelbytraining, it rocks! Though you did a simulair effect on skin smoothing, can you please do a short tutorial how your retouch skin?
Hi Calvin..Your work is awesome!! Can you please upload a tutorial of house you composited the girl with the back ground and the sky etc thanks. I think my questions is same as> Elliott Hoyle 2 months ago Hey Calivin how did you get the effect prior to this video, is there a vide where you show how to get here ?
Ich hab hier mal ne wichtige Frage. Du sagtest man könne daraus eine Aktion erstellen damit man diese dann mit dem Play Button einfach auf andere Bilder anwenden kann. Wenn ich nun aber eine Aufzeichnung deiner Schritte mache und danach auf ein anderes Bild anwende bekomme ich ein Problem weil er in der Aktion auch Dateinamen speichert. Folgerichtig bekomme ich dann die Meldung das der Name nicht zur Verfügung steht. Wie kann ich das umgehen? Ich weiß....Noobfrage^^
This is the first tutorial of yours I've seen, can't wait to see the others! What a great little action, even though I am guilty of using shortcuts... LOL
Hätte mir dieses tolle Tutorial auch auf Deutsch gewünscht :) - verstehe es zwar ohne Probleme allerdings hätte ich es nicht gefunden wenn ich nicht auf Englische-Tutorials gegangen wäre ;) tolle Arbeit trotzdem bitte mehr davon! Viele Grüße nach Oftersche aus Heidelberg ;)

fantastic , thanks for taking the time to share this "freaky" process! Please keep sharing your knowledge.
You can't please everyone, but you damn sure pleased me. Thanks for sharing. I will try this soon.
Starlene Joyner Burns Thank you
Great new way to get details. Don't listen to the people bashing you about your sense of humor. They've lost theirs and are just jealous.
Take a chill pill. If you don't like how Calvin teaches, don't do what he's showing you. That will keep the market more lucrative for those of us who do use his techniques to differentiate and provide clients with something different.
Das war mal wieder ein super Tutorial! Danke dir, dass du auch immer wieder deine Techniken gratis mit uns teilst!
lg aus München
Oh Calvin ;)... There is no "S T R G" key on an english keyboard, because STRG stands for "Steuerung". On english keyboards it's "CTRL" for control.
The tutorial is really good, but man, you are really getting on my nerves with ''trying to be funny'' it's just anoying.
at first time i was heated but thanks...specail person like you is need also..take care n hv a nice time god bless
I thought you said "through" just fine, its when you say "invert" that cracks me up haha. Cheers, thanks for the tutorials.
Oh! And thank you Serge Ramilli for introducing me to yet another great artist teacher!
kelvin you are my photoshop star. your every tutorial is a gift to any photoshop freaks. thanks a lot. please upload new tutorials :)
thank heaven for this clip. been tryin to figure this out for about 3 yrs now
As a pc user, Danke Calvin, this is brilliant. Thanks for sharing.. Amazing results.
Calvin, don't worry about your English! We are not here to studying the language but for your AWESOME tutorials! Dude, give us more and keep moving forward!
Danke Calvin, for the information and the humor.
Thanks for the tutorial. I enjoyed it a lot and inspired me to try some sort of this technique on GIMP. I am not a professional, and yes, I enjoyed your jokes. Your light-hearted approach is a very refreshing, and for me it's the subject matter that counts. Danke.
AWESOME! THANK YOU FOR THIS FREAKY AMAZING DETAILS TECHNIQUE!!
Great tutorials. I am australian but I do like your sense of humour, quite funny sometimes :-)
Dude you rock!!! The info that you relate is good solid useful info! People who don't like your style can watch other people's tutorials. You do a great job of info sharing (kinda rare in the competitive/secret wold of Photoshop)! THANKS for what you do! Keep sharing! :))
This technique really works! Thank you!
Thanks for a great tip Calvin. I've been using Nik Colorefex Pro for a similar result but I always like to know how to do it BETTER in photoshop.
Thanks. I have seen this technique before and it looks good but how is it different from a high pass filter?
So, just started using it in my first landscpa.ephorography-tries. it is just so amazing!
I used this and then placed a mask on the group so I could remove the detail where I didn't want it, like on a face. Love this Thanks!!
haha I randomly found you Calvin. You're super funny and your tutorials are awesome! ... Non professional people are hating you all over RUclips rightnow haha keep up the great work!
Really Cool. I like the sideeffect to have control over the Highpass with the smartobject.
Fantastic to see this technique explained well!
I often add mask the vivid light layer for foreground detail.
Don't you dare adjust your jokes … or anything;) Got no time for flaccid presentations. Looking forward to your next!!
ps: Haters and sensitive folk won't survive this line of work. They shall surely end up clear-cutting building supplies.
I think you're quite funny actually, and I love all your tutorials.
Really weird. First he starts with a very heavily processed image and then he does things and shows before and after and they are no or insignificant changes.
+Peter Gordon dont watch the video at 144p
Hahahahahaha...
People he can do what he wants. He is taking out time to teaching us and the fact that it's free what's there to complain about? we should all be grateful and just put up with it
Came across you through Kelby Training. You are an exception . Love your training, making photography and photoshop soo easy. Again thank you
Is there a tutorial on how this composite was created? Where did the background come from an how was the shadow applied?
My 1st time watching your video, I'm hooked! Love your humor... you must have a great personality... and your tut was very informative. I wish you continued success on all future endeavours.
I bet he is one of those stand-up comedians with a great Photoshop talent.
Brilliant Calvin been following your work for years. LOved Calvanize and al you're recent stuff. I even started to learn German so I could understand your non English tutorials. Thanks for keeping up the good work.
That is one of the most amazing sharp technique !!!! I loved !!!!
You are hilarious. You made me realize how much I miss Germany and my friends there. Love the tutorial.
Thank you Calvin.
I happy to learning english with you. (I don't joking)
It's true because I can understand what you explain, you're cool and don't worry some people. (sorry for my poor english.)
Calvin Hollywood.... immer der beste :-)
We're not worthy of your awesomeness, Calvin.
This and your "pale skin" tutorial are simply amazing!
Job well done. You've earned yourself a subscriber!
Easier, more effective and simpler method ; Frequency Separation.
+ Duplicate layer twice.
+ Group them.
+ Select the bottom layer, rename to "Blur" and blur it using Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur (I usually do a 12-25 Pixels)
+ Select the top group layer and call it "High Pass". Go to Menu - Image - Apply Image
+ In the Apply Image menu : Select the Blur Layer, change blend mode to Subtract and Scale = 2, Offset = 128
+ Change the High Pass blending mode to Linear Light
+ Add layer mask to High Pass layer. Paint in additional details for ultra control or lower the opacity for simpler method.
Cheers
+YvensB After so many years, i really think there are much more ways possible then this way in the video :-)
I realised it was from 2012. Just wanted to give another option if people stumbled upon this video like I did. Cheers
Amazing work, love your humor, by the way. Why does the inverted blurred layer create more detail?
I like the look of the image from the start. what does it take to make a photo look like that? it looks like a painting?
I really enjoyed your videos.. I love the sense of humor and sweet accent...
Hey Calivin how did you get the effect prior to this video, is there a vide where you show how to get here ?
Wow.. a powerfull effect - thanks
Could have been a 3 minute vid but so entertaining I'm not even mad
Thanks for the tutorial, the only thing I saw change in the before and after was the shadow of the girl. Not trying to seem ungrateful at all, just trying to learn techniques, but didn't see much happen, and why was there 2 background copies made, I only saw changed made to the 2nd layer copy? Thanks in advance!
Du bist so geil Calvin. Ich hab mich schief gelacht während des Videos. Super Tutorial wie immer :-)
I love this tutorial. I add a layer mask to the group so that I can control where the detail goes and how strong by adjusting my brush opacity. I have actually made this into an action. I use it all the time!! Thanks
Thanks Calvin!

My MATRIX PHOTOSHOP TUTORIAL
Digital Sensei - Episode 4 - Photoshop MATRIX Backgrounds
This is the first time i am seeing this tonight.. With just regular sharpening you can control detail and radius and all that.. so why is this one preferred? is it even more control? it looks like the same end result unless i'm mistaken. ?? anyone opinions..? i'm high intermediate Photoshop skill level.
+David C Its not the same, but close.
Sorry that you dont like it but i get 10 times more feedback thats it was good then bad. Also the stats are better then my other english videos.
But thanks a lot, i will think about it.
thank you CALVIN amzing tutorial!!!
Cool Calvin. However it seems like you have a bit of processing on the image already that added a bit of surreal detail to it. Am I right?
Entertaining I like the light hearted approach.
You are hilarious I enjoy watching your tutorials! :)
Niiice. Action recorded.
This could be the magic behind Clarify of Lightroom/Camera Raw
Great work! Well put together!
I thought you were awesome and people need to understand that sarcasm and humor is very different and varies with different languages. Awesome tutorial and yes i did find you funny.
Wo ist der Unterschied zwischen dem Highpassfilter und dieser Technik?
Ich meine, wieso sollte ich nicht einfach den Hochpassfilter mit Motus Lineares Licht benutzen?
+CenterTutorials Die Konturen, teste es doch einfach mal
Is there a link to a tutorial how the composite has been made. That would be rather interesting 🖖
Hey, Calvin. Really enjoyed your tutorial, and I think you are very funny as well! Don't take any notice of the guy who said you weren't - I certainly appreciated your sense of humour!

Good stuff Mr. Hollywood. I am into the contrasty images of doom myself.
Keep on trucking :)
Excellent tutorial and very funny. I like your style Calvin. Go ahead :-)
