This tutorial is great. Makes us wanna divide and conquer. (;

i went and did a photoshop course and learned maybe 10% of what you teach seriously this guy dosent just show you how things work he explains to you how they work fantastic teacher,wish you the best man

Homework - this works in premiere pro tooo. Create a color matte over the clip and change it to divide mode. Simple boom

why is no one talking about the perfect handwriting?

So Unmesh, when are you going to reveal to us that YOU are the creator of photoshop?

20 years wondering what the hell Divide did. 20. YEARS.

Hi Unmesh, I found another use for divide: advanced color masking! I noticed for any given color in your underlying image, there is a range of "Divide" colors that will make it turn white: anything from the underlying color itself, down to black (in brightness). Anything brighter than the underlying color will get closer to white aka doing nothing. So if you want to make a mask of a particular color in your image, pick that color in your Divide layer, then play with the brightness to adjust the strictness of the mask. Then merge your layers, desaturate, and use Levels to keep the white part of the image and make everything else black. Now you can copy this layer and paste into a mask, and bam, only a particular color is selected. It's like an alternative to the built in color range selector with more control

I love everything about this video: 1. Your enthusiasm to teach 2. Your desire for people to understand the tools so they can use their imagination and accomplish more 3. The heartfelt message. Thank you, let's Keep Creating 🙏🏿

this channel blows my mind. he's just SUCH a sweetheart & he offers more insight to a program i've used for 13 years than any course i've done in ANY trade.

This is expansive knowledge for FREE!

HOMEWORK: I use the divide layer a lot when SCANNING DRAWINGS with my phone. The light is often not consistent over the whole page and I pick the color of the paper from different places and paint a new layer which I then blur and set to DIVIDE; this will render the paper white. I can also make a copy of the layer, blur it and use that as a divide layer, or even remove the drawing from the paper on the copied layer with content aware fill and use that as a divide layer. I sometimes paint on a light brown surface (unbleached titanium), and the color of the surface can be removed in tha same way. I think the formula is more intuitive when written as: base layer*(256/top layer), that is each of the RGB values are corrected with respect to ratio between the RGB value for white and the RGB value for the top layer. White has RGB values that will make the ratio 1 and there is no change. 50 % blue will reduce inly the B value by 256/128, that is take half of it off, and make everything white. I love the channel and though I've been using Photoshop since the last millenium I learn so much. Thank you very much! /Claus Rye Schierbeck, Illustrator, Denmark

I couldn't focus on the formula because your Handwritings took all the attention.. Btw.. Love your new intro

How do you even find these little gold nuggets? Hope you are well and safe, and thank you for continuing to connect our little pixelated world!

Homework result: When bringing an image into Photoshop that has been split-toned, your divide technique brings back at least the illusion of neutral whites, without losing the rest of the chosen split-tone effect. Thank you Unmesh. There was always something about split-toning that I didn't like. This fixed it...

I have been watching your photoshop videos for about 2 years, and all i can say is that you're videos are clear and straight forward, keep it up man!

This is the only youtuber I give like to every video.. cause all the content is high quality

That just might be an easy fix to bad green screen footage. Thanks so much for sharing! Also, Unmesh, if you are reading this, I just want you to know that you have the kindest heart I have ever seen. It's really incredible that you care so deeply about your audience, and that you are willing to provide this content and share your talents with the world for free. You are a wonderful man, and I just wanted to give you my thanks. I don't know what the world did to deserve you

Awesome. :)

I opened a photo to retouch in PS and decided I needed some music to work to.... When the KZfaq homepage came up, this was the first recommended video - Had to click it!!!! ... Guess the first thing that I did to that image! Damn! I love it!! Being a portrait and fashion photographer, this really is a game changer for me! Thank you for your amazing tutorials, Unmesh!

You are best photoshop teacher I have ever watched his tutorials. Thank you

The best human being out there. 3 yrs following this channel and it always keeps getting better. Thank you bro!!

Great method to remove color cast. I used you tutorial to de-aging old paintings images. I have "restaured" Davinci's Mona Lisa and it look even more beautifull.

Great video (as always)! For me, knowing the formula opens the door for virtually every combination... Eliminating color cast for sure - - and also, determining what color scheme is needed for the Divide Blend layer to create any "target" color you desire (just work the formula to solve for the variable needed).. When combined with layer masks, this gives the user the ability to quickly modify any image to the color mix desired.. Very cool!!

Wow - this blend mode works a treat on color casts. Unreal. I have struggled with different methods for correcting color casts and nothing is as good or as simply as this. Thanks for this tip!

Unmesh: B stand for? Me: Blueeee (sipping water) Unmesh: Brightness Me: choked

Did he just make a pun at 3:00 "nothin' can stop me I'm ALL THE WAY UP!" 😂

A math and Photoshop tutorial all in one 😊

wishing you and your family stay safe! this video was another great help!

it was really interesting to learn the maths behind the Divide blend mode. time to do put it to use then

Wow, this is great. I haven't found a tutor who explains concepts as you do. You made this seem so easy, Unmesh. Incredible stuff. And the last message is just too beautiful. You are such an inspiration to the whole creator and creative community. Power to you, man! Stay safe.

best explanation to remove colour casts from portraits I`ve seen. Thank you Unmesh

Thank you so much. I learnt something new

For all of you who said you’d never use algebra outside of high school! I was a teacher for 18 years, so you just proved me right!

Awesome video, your video quality is getting better & better, amazing, learning lots of amazing things from you, keep it going.

Your videos keep getting better and better. Really fine work and attention to the right details.

i am an old retired man,having passion for photography since childhood.All my photography was SOOC,I was ,Still am,very scared of Photoshop.This lock-down gave me a chance to sneak into your channel.I was amazed by your technical tips.From the shadows of illiteracy,my curve of knowledge seems to be moving towards mid-tones.I am grateful to you to tutor me for free.I am mesmerized by your knowledge of Photoshop and your method of teaching intricate details in every episode.

You can use divide to remove folds and creases from paper and similar materials. It's great for isolating text.

Amazing application, Your Deep understanding of the tools makes you the best

Wow your videos have really changed over time. Loving the intro animation, music, and the circle around where your mouse is going. Glad to see your speaking style hasn't been lost. Thank you!

Thanks so much for this and all of your great instructional videos! Super clear and concise.

You are just the best world's teacher/instructor that I have ever seen (and I am a very old person). Thanks for your tutorials and for sharing your knowledge in such and incredible way. Cheers!

I could see this being very useful for Real Estate photography. I tried it out on one of my photos and it worked wonderfully.

U r true master of photoshop, I alway liked ur video before watch. Thanks again.

Your videos are 💕😍amazing bro. I love Photography and your videos helps me to get those Finishing result.

Amazing as always! Thank you so much for all that shared knowledge. With you my photoshop skills are in a permanent state of improvement !

Homework : we can add hue to the highlights Or in B&W photo change the brightness or make a monochrome photo out of it.

Just Wow! How simple to use such complex calculations. I quickly did a few samples and was in awe at how easy it was and how effective it was. Unmesh you truly are a very generous genius. Thank you!

Thank you Unmesh. I've tried this out on a couple of photos and it's going to make a huge difference to my retouching workflow.

This would be a great technique to use with filters with a known color cast, such as many ND filters. It would be an easy job to take a blank photograph using the filter and a white light source. The resulting image could then be used as the divisor default color for every shot taken using that filter; only needing possible adjustment of the brightness.

Just tried it for whitening eyes at the end of my retouching routine. You have to tune it down of course, but works like a charm! Thank you so much!

Very helpful! Thank you and stay healthy!

You're an absolutely great person for taking your time to do this. Great content! Best wishes to you and your family.

Your videos are always so amazing... Great job! As for the other uses and maths: You can replace any colour with any other colour: - Take the numbers of the selected background colour - Take the numbers of the colour you wish to change it to And figure out X (the numbers of the colour you need to divide by) with the formula. You can kind of colour grade with this if you have a colour palet :O Thx!!!

The divide mode worked very well. I also used it for whitening teeth and eyes on separate layers with mask

I use to see your videos, they are so originals and didactics, but this one is out of words, just blow my mind. So easy method to get rid of color cast. I had learned many other methods, but way more steps and more complicated. Thank you for sharing this.

Best PS Channel EVER!!! Thank you, Unmesh. From Germany with Love 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

Thank you. That was a really simple way of removing colour casts. You are an amazing teacher

Apologize if already mentioned somewhere else. We can use it to do pencil sketch -- apply Gaussian Blur to the upper layer (with the Divide mode).

I started following you since 2017-18 maybe. Everything i know about photoshop,its because of you. The way you explain things, the concept gets clear

Another good one! Always learning something new from you, Unmesh!

My 16 years old daughter says, 'This is how that guy can do all this stuff. Somehow he understands how all the math works and then makes up applications for it' :)

Thanks--another perfectly clear explanation!

Wow! This changes everything! Thanks man! I really enjoy your gift of teaching.

That was awesome! Thanks for the tip!

You know , you deserve every bit of success you have now !

8:15 explains so much about my challenges using my massive math skills to play with CSS on websites.

as usual excellent and well taught, congrats !

I never knew what divide blend mode was for and never knew how easy removing a color cast could be. You the man!

wish u were my math teacher :) i've learned a lot from you in years... thanks for everything.

Homework is to find another way to use divide blend mode and i know that this blend mode also used to align layer perfectly with each other if layers were aligned perfectly it will became all white if layers were not aligned it will show some art effect which indicates the layer were not perfectly aligned As simple as that.

I've watched the video until 4 : 05 in order to learn something I immediately can work with and watched the remainder video because your tutorials totally rock. 🤗

Thank god I have found this channel three years ago.... Everytime I get hooked with your video....thanks unmesh for being a perfect teacher....love from Bangladesh

Homework- Divide blend also works in Premiere and After effect .. to balance white color .. thankyou ... its really amazing ....

Thank you. You are the finest teacher I've ever had.

Excellent Unmesh!!!! Simply solved a problem I've had with my old sony camera in a few clicks.... stay well!

I use this every once in a while. But i never knew the maths behind. This is useful. Thanks...

hey man, great to have you. every time you post a video, there are lot to learn.... thanx man

You have to be kidding me, Unmesh. I would love to see a video reaction of yourself discovering something you didn't know in Photoshop.

2:14 -> 2:17 that reaction about " Divide " hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant. I was a commercial photographer for almost 30 years and used Photoshop nearly every day, but didn't know this. Would have saved hours of CC time. Never too late, I guess, so thanks!

Yet again master class. Trying this for sure and exploring more

Incredible! right infront of our noses. Perfect White Balance Solved Instantly! (".) Thank you so much Sir! i'll watch every advertisement on your videos promise.. (".)

Whats the difference between correcting color cast with divide and selecting white balance from curves?

All vids that u did are really easy to follow that even newbs like me can do it. All of my current knowledge regarding photoshop are from watching ur vid. Really, u have my greatest thanks.

Wow... I'm a long-time follower of you, and I love every video. But this is SO amazing!! Thank you!!

You are ridiculous awesome.. Feels like you are the developer of PS.

"ISN'T THAT INTERERSTING?!" "YES!"

I keep watching your each videos. You are doing so cool.

Hi Unmesh. I always love your videos. Thanks for the well wishes for us all. I wish the best for you and your loved ones as well! Keep the great videos coming my friend.
