Hello and thank you for this tutorial. It is so nice to see someone such as your good self using the 'dissolve' blend mode to such great effect. As blend modes go, it can be so easily overlooked or even written off as useless but it most certainly isn't!

@wgnstudio 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Aaron, there is a quicker and much simpler way to make this dissolve effect to normal layer. You need to put a new empty layer (normal blend mode) underneath dissolved one, select those two layers and merge them together.

Finally a full packed video after a long time. Focusing on beginners, i thought Phlearn team is forgetting their old viewers that still want to see intermediate to advanced level content and new manipulations, techniques, etc but i hope this is just a beginning to take older viewers into consideration again. I haven't forgotten those insane videos topics such as Gods of Nile, making Aaron invisible with guitar etc

@royandescartes 3 жыл бұрын

i want to say THANK YOU Aaron ,for TEACHING me what all these other big time "creators" charged me to learn. This is such a blessing yo. You are such a great person in this Photoshop and teaching world. I have been watching your videos for years and all i can say is that you my good sir will always be my favourite and most respected Teacher when it comes to Photoshop.

Often I find myself learning the most from the small things like "Layer Styles" as illustrated in this video! Thanks for providing theses tutorials frequently more in depth and better put together than paid content.

@chrispolubinski9358 3 жыл бұрын

What a fortuitously-timed tutorial. I am processing a backlog of photos and in one shoot, the model did a "magic hands" pose and I though to myself, "Self? This calls for glowing sigils and a magic circle surrounding her." I even mocked up something, but once the circle was there, I had no idea what to do with it to make it do what I want. Then you guys came along. Thanks! I can't wait to get some time to put this one to use!

dear lord this tute took me an entire day to work through! i am a beginner - hopefully i get faster with practice and less pedantic following each step exact. I also realised I started off this tutorial with a completely different brush so following the exact brush sizing in the end made the inner glow ring less visible in the end which is a shame.

Is there a reason we do multiple layer of blur for the glow instead of using the outer glow layer setting on the shape layer?

Great video, good material, a signal to the observer that a composition can require work of great detail and mainly, the choice of the base image where the protrusions of the model allow to give an added twist to the imagination.

Maybe use the black layer trick but then use the shortcut for current viewpoint to new layer and change the blend mode

@phlearn I just downloaded the zip package with the tutorial, but there is no custom brush, only one PSD file. I think that is a mistake. It says on the page, "You can follow along in the video to learn how we created the custom brush but, if you want to skip that process, the brush is available for free in the tutorial download."

Why not use layer styles for the glow ring...surely this way is easier and a far less destructive way of creating this effect.

@faroazandeen589 3 жыл бұрын

Because then you won't have the same control. For example, he erased the glow from some places easily. But if you have layer styles on, then you can either erase the whole layer or you're limited to a layer style mask, which, obviously will remove any other layer styles too.

true, but i feel like he was just showcasing the tools here. A full on photorealistic manipulation would probably take hours instead of 30 mins like this video.
