Hey! I haven’t worked in a procreate in a while. I don’t remember it having gradient map as a layer like Photoshop or Krita does. Thst would make the process non-destructible in procreate. I think the Gradient map in procreate is applied to your layer as a filter. You can still use the pipeline, and apply gradient map to merged group , but it won’t be as flexible and you will have to keep your group just in case you want to change the color or paint the effect more. Basically you have to reapply gradient every time you want to do some changes to your effect. So, yeah, you can still use it. There is a workaround. In photoshop you can have it as a layer and it makes the process significantly more comfortable and faster.

@@PolyPaint Oh wow so that means it would exist a similar method in procreate, i dont found one single video on CZcams that show something similar, maybe if you could do a little tutorial in Procreate if you find the time? that would be awesome im sure this would help alot of peoples that search something like that also a great content choice because there is no tutorial existing right now :O

@@AlgerieHD yeah, technically you still can use the pipeline from the video, although the simple difference of Gradient map not being a layer, but rather a filter, changes how effective and comfortable it is. It removes all the magic behind this trick.

Check if the black fill layer is inside the group and the group blending mode should be either “Screen” or “Linear dodge” the gradient map should be at the top of that group.

@@PolyPaint ooh i had my photoshop in french so i just put the wrong blending mode thank you so much you are a lifesaver!!

@@nakajimasyntaxx6924 Cool! glad that worked!

haha. welcome! ❤

🔥👍🏻

Hey! Thanks for purchasing! For the fire, Im using one of those half-circle brushes which had hard edge on one side and soft on another one. I have 2 similar brushes in the set which are without textures, both could work easily for painting fire like i did in this video. Thanks again!

Make the flow 3% He forgot to mention this

And you will be able to control the colour and highlights

@@Mlomat-bi5jp In my project, when I click to select the color of the gradient map, the screen turns black, it doesn't get a little bright like the screen, can you tell me why?

@rodriigoxd7 idk what exactly happens. Usually ppl forget to change blending mode of the group (gradient map should be at the top inside the group) to Linear dodge and the background inside the group is supposed to be solid black color. This way group with black layer overwrites entire screed. Idk if that was your case or it was some sort of photoshop bug.

In the beginning I'm using simple round brush with pressure sensitivity enabled for opacity only (brush size doesnt change when i press harder on a pen). Tbh the default round brushes do 90% of work most of the time for me. Everything else is case based stuff like fog, textures, grunge etc.

Great to hear!

lol

haha, thanks!

Yeah, I will see what I could do

maybe its because the gradient map you selected dont have a black color on the left side. Linear dodge essentially lights everything other than black.

@@PolyPaint yes I was not able to find the black gradient map that you had selected.

@@rahulkamath6984 You can easily customize the colors in any gradient. I usually select the default black and white gradient and change the colors how i need, leaving the left gradient point as a black color. Here is some tutorial regarding the gradient map adjustment layers and how to use them : czcams.com/video/j_KUiwKwFV8/video.html

@@PolyPaint ok thanks

Thanks a lot. I used fairly simple soft brush with either linear or exponential falloff. Similar to one in this image ( top left image) : geom.io/bakery/wiki/images/thumb/b/b3/Falloff_comp.png/300px-Falloff_comp.png

i dont work in cmyk and have no idea what's the math behind that makes this light wash that you're referring too. it feels strange since, my understanding of black color with linear dodge blending mode an it shouldn't change the image at all. its basically A + B, when B = 0 (black) so it doesnt affect base color at all. Shouldn't it work the same way in cmyk?

@@PolyPaint I know, it is strange. Since I'm working on a book cover, I use CMYK. I changed to RGB now and will convert back to CMYK once I'm done with the fire details (or later). It's completely worth it, the work with the gradient map really speeded up my process. So thanks again!

@@MandulinaTV Thank you and good luck with your book cover ! Cheers!

if you have a proper structure, where the black layer is on the bottom of the group(with gradient map inside), then changing the group blending mode to linear dodge or screen will get rid of black. Those modes ignore black and adds value if pixels become anything but black

It is most likely custom made brush. I have them in my photoshop tool pack on gumroad.

Alt + Backspace to fill

Thanks a lot. I think so, it was a long time ago but I haven't changes the brushes in ages.

You can check another tutorial on the same matter on my channel . Its the same technique -czcams.com/video/er6dnKdGG-M/video.html
