You can even try blurring the noise if you still feel it's too much, by adding a slight gaussian blur effect to your smart object as well (that you can get rid of later if you didn't like it) And an easy way to create a 50% grey layer is to press CTRL + Shift + N and from the new layer window set the blend mode to overlay then check the "Fill with overlay-neutral color (50% gray)" box. I got this trick from PixImperfect composting tuts.
@@HarshitRalhan Because the blending mode is an overlay, which means it's going to blend with your colours. Now, since the overlay is only grey, with no other colours, the only thing that'll get blended is the "whiteness" and "blackness", in other words, the luminosity. If your overlay is 100% black, it'll darken your image, 100% white, it'll brighten it. Now, 50% white and 50% black, which is the grey he did here, won't do anything to the colours or the luminosity. Only the texture of the fill will impact the other layers, which is what happen when he gives a grained texture to the fill.
I knew if I checked out a video where I thought I knew everything I'd find at least one gem that changed my workflow--being able to create an adjustment layer for noise is huge, thanks!
Well... I feel stupid. I have been using photoshop for over 10 years. I do all sorts of different work on it. I was called "The Queen of Photoshop" when I was on my design degree and was asked to help other students by the tutors. TODAY I LEARNED that you can change the brush opacity with the keyboard numbers. OH MY GOD. You have saved me SO much time!! I think I might love you... 😂😍
@Ben Marriott A shortcut for the 50% gray fill: Shift + Cmd + N opens a window to create a new layer. In the Mode dropdown, select Overlay, then check the tickbox underneath that says Fill with Overlay-neutral color (50% gray). Shave a few seconds off your workflow!
at 1:27, if you Ctrl + Click the active layer, it automatically creates a selection on everything in that layer only, so you can draw in without effecting anything else
This further enhances our belief that Photoshop is a must have design tool. Even with a small tutorial like this, it explores an exciting element and begins to unearth the endless possibilities you have with these tools. Your instructions are very easy to follow and will certainly help a lot of people out.
This is actually a really good tutorial. There is not too much information or going too much into detail, which would slow the pace down and I actually learned something new! So thanks!
Another great tutorial. I've been vocal against some previous sponsors of yours but Skillshare is fantastic and suits you to a tee. Thanks again Ben, for taking the time to share your knowledge.
this video is such a gem you can get so much info out of it for such a smol vid o.o thank you it's exactly what i was looking for! textures+shading+grain+illustrator output ! thanx!!!!
You are the best! Thank you so much sharing these skills from the first step by step! way more easy for me to follow and add on my design works!! thanks!
Watching your tutorials for a while now. I am not a Motion Designer, but I like to watch the content you make, especially your thought process behind your animations and designs. A quicker way to create a Gray layer. Create a new layer, select it and press Shift + Backspace and choose 50% Gray from the drop-down menu under Contents.
It's refreshing to see a non-AE tutorial. Moving layers from Ai to Ps was especially helpful. 2 questions: 1) Do you use the shortcut buttons on your Cintiq? 2) Is there a benefit to adding the Noise in Ps rather than in Ae after the final animation is done?
Ben, you're incredible! That 50% Grey level for the grain, that's a killer trick!!!

Pls tell me why is 50% grey not affecting the underlying layers, pls tell?????????

And ended at 10:15
I don't even start the video anymore before I hit 'like' - and I've never once regretted it. Keep up the awesome work Ben!
"No point labeling the layers" - SOMEONE KIDNAPPED BEN!!!! SEND A SEARCH PARTY
Lol yeah that's the code for danger

1) nah, I have my left hand always on the keyboard anyway so that's easier for me.
2) none of you're going to animate it,
Love this graphic and love everything I learned by watching this! Thank you ⭐
