    “Remember we are creating art!” Great quote. Often times photographers get stuck on rules or trapped into possible critiques of over blown under exposed. Thanks for what you do, amazing.

    I watched this video on Monday and filed it away in my mind for future reference. Today one of Thailand's greatest actors, Sorapong Chatree, died. It is tradition here to post photos of people who have died in black-and-white, so I used this technique to convert a photo I took with him during the only film we worked on together. The result was far better than how I would have done it before, by simply desaturating and adjusting the curves. I just wanted to thank you for this very timely tutorial.

    PiXimperfect is high end! Why? 1st: His tutorials deliver high worthy content by every second. No frills, no blabla ... 2nd: Although he speaks faster and faster over the years his enunciation remained excellent and easy to understand. 3rd: Every tutorial is designed at a top didactical level. 4th: He combines all the before mentioned qualities to an outstanding overall performance thus underlining the main content statements in an acting way.

    • @jasonlacey5979
      @jasonlacey5979 2 года назад +1

      The fact that he speaks so fast has always kept me away from his excellent content.. great shame because as you say he delivers high worthy content. Guess he has enough subsribers to not care any more..

    Love it! Speaking of Gradients..How about a short on what "Smoothness" actually means in the world of photoshop. When applying gradients, the smoothness option has the effect of changing the transition of Color 1 to color 2 in a way that seems 'non-linear'.. Can you explain what this is actually doing to the values of pixels?? Thank you!!

I've tried to apply this tips but it is not possible for me to choose the "Method" in the gradient properties... Is it perhaps because I am using the 2021 version of PS instead of 2022 version??? Many thanks in advance and please keep on teaching us ;-)
