Finally someone who knows and does not underestimate his audience. Compact knowledge with no extra babbling. I appreciate!

I've been a graphic designer and creative director in graphic design for over 25 years. I can't rate Unmesh highly enough...so skilled, clear in his methods, and low key hilarious. Love the way in between showing you multiple ways to achieve a goal he drops in jokes like the one about his relatives.

actually... I made an action for the "Dramatic Look". I let the action stop, when the dialog for calculations opens, so I can adjust/choose what I want and then the action proceeds with my settings. I do this often with actions to have more control over the adjustments :)

First take the copy of the subject layer with Cntrl +J and then press Ctrl+T to transform then right click on the canvas and select distort and then transform it according to your reflection then take a new solid colour adjustment layer chose Black color hit ok and then clipping mask this layer to the copy of subject layer that's it and then play with opacity that looks good to your image

Unmesh. Please cover the issues with Lightroom denoise which has been causing PCs to shut down or worse blow up the power supply of computers. I’m not the only one on investigation several other people on Adobe forums are reporting same issue, one guy had two power supply’s blow up. Adobe. Need to remove denoise until issue is resolved or be liable…

No sorry not good look, not much control and quite limiting. Best way is to convert photo to B&W using convert tool, but blend 2 or more of these preferences and add contrast to selective arias. Unless I am doing it wrong I am using CS3 after all, trying to stay away from the Ai rubbish. Nice video, just does not work for me.
