    Thank you Marty!!! I am using old PS CS3 and could never get through any other tutorials to achieve this. They kept using options I couldn't find. You got me 99% of the way there. I did not have a vibrance option from the adjustment layer icon but I think I figured it out! My first attempt looks pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to help.

    Your tutorials are always so clear and well done. I can understand your voice and your direction. Showing the directions on the screen would be very helpful to a Photoshop newbie.

    Thank you. I've been looking at endless Watercolour effect tutorials and the results on most were pretty blah. This one works well!

    This is a great tutorial. It is so easy and the results are amazing. The larger I make the finished image, the better it looks. As it gets larger the watercolor look becomes more prominent.

    Your tutorials on watercolor styling are among the best on the Internet...Perhaps only one other blogger has interesting ideas.
    But you also have an excellent methodological leadership!

I wrote out a step-by-step based on your guidance and will be using that as I work with my photos. If you'd like to see the "almost transcript" for people to download if you think it is correct, I would be glad to share it. Your call. Thank you for sharing the information.

    I'm having a problem when I get to the Wet Media Brushes stage. When I brush over the image it subtracts the color. I've gone over the lesson many times, making the adjustments to match yours and it doesn't seem to work for me. Suggestions?

  • @paappraiser
    @paappraiser 11 лет назад

    Thank you. I applied this technique to a few images last night. It was a lot of fun. I played with the opacity of the wet brush and got some fantastic results. Defiantly one of my Favorite tutorials. Im going to play some more. .. I would love to see a tutorial on turning photos into airbrush/drawings like to old vargas pinup style. Thank you again.,

    @lnelson143 9 лет назад +1

    Working great, except when I get to the "Brush" layer, I invert it just fine, but when I click on Layer type "Color Dodge" - mine stays the same: dark and inverted. It does not go light like yours does. Help? Many thanks...this will be super cool if I can get it finished.

  • @RichardBriggs
    @RichardBriggs 12 лет назад

    Brilliant. You get right to the point. Works pretty much with Elements 10 as well. I had following problems though. Firstly in Elements there is no Adjustment Layer for Vibrance (not that I can find anyway). I used Saturation instead (but not at maximum). But result doesn't seem to need this. Also, I found Foreground/Background colours have to be Black and White when working on the Brushes layer. Took my ages to figure that one out. Maybe this is just an Elements thing.

    It is awesome for many images, but for fullsized raw images it gets heavy to work with due to the smart blur. Anyway it is one more tool in the workbensch, and I like it.

    Hi, thank you for the video. I have used this twice now and created a set of actions up to the brush tool. When I use the brushes, I am left with a very blue & white photo only. I am not sure why the colour is not showing the same as the original (same as your greens etc from your photo). Any ideas please (or has anyone else encountered this??)

    Does the resolution have to be 72 pixcels?
    Can l increase to 300 afterwards so l can print out to 5X7 and larger, or would that effect the finished artwork?
    Thank you for this tutorial. I have had several compliments on the artwork l morphed using this technique.
