Photoshop is a set of tools, and Brady knows how to blend them like a maestro, a true genius. No licking here, just the simple and humbling truth.

I look forward to each and every video you post, Brady. Your techniques have helped me create multiple works of art, and 4 complete album covers for my EPs. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I really appreciate you not only giving clear helpful direction but also explaining the things that could have been done and why you didn’t use them, and smaller side tips throughout that really helped me understand this effect a lot more :)

You can also use alt + right click to adjust your brush size. You usually have your left hand around the ctrl/alt area anyway. Works well with alt + scrolling and (shift +) scrolling, which is zooming and moving around the canvas. Which happens often when using any sort of brush-like tool.

You could also play around a bit with the scatter option on a brush. Instead of the useless blur-tool I'm mostly using smudge with a scatter, because it immediately blurs what's underneath the stroke instead of just blur-dragging the pixels along the stroke

Again thank-you Brady for taking the time to make a comprehensive video. Definitely will consider the field blur as well for a non destructive work flow. I like the concept of blurring the edges. Not exactly sure how I will use this technique. However, I am use that I will find a use for it in the near future.

@@Texturelabs Yeah definitely since some methods mesh well with other tools differently

@pwaegemans 2 жыл бұрын

I also use field blur for this. A bit slower but you don't need to rasterize the text. You can do this on smart layers. Which means you can come back to this and make changes later on.

@Magic_carpet666 Жыл бұрын

I think you lose a lot of the hands-on aspect using Field Blur, which is why the smudge tool is a more attractive option IMO.

I've been smudge-blurring since version 6, way back in the 90's. The blur tool has never been capable of the levels of blur which it should have been able to. This is a good way to get around how wimpy the blur tool is.
