@@boker4962 can yu give me this psd plz?
@@k-ora7381 Why wouldn't you just follow the tutorial? lol
Great tutorial. What I do is paste the smart image to Blender and cast a shadow and copy it to PS as reference.
@@k-ora7381 dont be lazy sandwich boy just follow the tutorial and you get your psd lmao
It's crazy how he makes the video "watchable" just like a movie
i dont even do photoshop :D
@@19bo84maryshore 😂 me too but listening to him is a treat😊
everytime he adds a new layer, it's like a twist in the movie, i'm in awe
Totally! It's as fun as watching series, and his videos are so well done!
Honestly bro, like wow
The see through shadow was not super necessary but he adds the detail anyway.
This is a sign of someone who loves quality in result.
you have my everlasting respect Sir
It's just that once you notice it, you just can't unnotice it. Otherwise, it would have annoyed the crap out of me, lol.
@@PiXimperfect haha gimme like too
That was perfection. Thanks for that amigo.
The color matching technique, using the background and blurring it and then applying color blend mode was just amazing! 🔥
Really 🔥
Yeah this made my day! I'm a bit colorblind and this helps a lot!
this blew my mind
Just yesterday I was struggling with this, this channel is a life saver it’s insane
Hell same
How amazing is nature. Renders all the shadows in real-time.
Bro u dont noticed he is always use photos is light come to same direction
@@abdullahvhora3442 r/wooooosh
And here we are, trying to replicate it's beauty through effort and skill. While nature does it effortlessly.
Every video I watch...........I think like how he has got such a patience explaining each and every shortcut even it is his 1000th video........this type of instructors we need....🙌🙌
Unmesh. I've been involved with photography for almost 65 years, and I can honestly say, you are my hero. Thank you for all your tutorials.
You are just amazing. I haven’t seen anyone teach like this, even not my Professors! Hat's off to you. Take Love from Bangladesh. And thank you for all the efforts you put for dummies like us.
"Sometimes you have to take the artistic road, instead of the realistic road, to look more realistic"
...This!
Your videos are by far the most entertaining and valuable on the topic of photo editing I have ever seen
I have watch too much of your videos, that my thinking process is so close to you now. Every time when there are steps involving layers I always guess right what you're about to do. Thank you Sir for inspiring me so much!!
brother I've been doing this for years but even if i know the techniques I still watch your videos for fun cus you're such a great teacher lmao.
Bro same..I dont want to do this but I watch it for his voice, way of explaining
I appreciate you for producing "long form" videos with all the steps to make professional composites. You have helped me tremendously for years and continue to up your game.
This channel deserves all the success it has and more because Unmesh is an AMAZING presenter and educator. He is so clear and thorough in teaching Photoshop, it really sets a higher standard for all educators in this space. The quality and attention to detail is INSANE. Just amazing. This is the internet at it's best!
I am from Vietnam and I thank you very much for bringing Vietnamese language into this video, previous videos without auto translator made it very difficult for me to reach your channel. And now it's great, a good video but also Vietnamese language is easy to learn. Once again, thank you PiXimPerfect. I will also recommend this YT channel to my friends💕
When it comes to teaching photoshop
You are the king
We should bow 🙇
I just wanted a photo of mine in front of Eifel tower but I think actually going to Paris would be way easier
Hahahahaha! 😂😂😂
Kanka artık o kadar çok kendini eyfele shoplayan oldu ki gerçekten gitsen inanmazlar artık:D
😂
I'm about to finish my second graphic design degree, I legit recommend this video's to all of my classmates that complain about bad technical instructing-amazing stuff.
Amazing tutorial as always. I was even more blown away when you fix the shadow on the slightly see through dress. Little details really give a lot difference. We are learning so much from you Unmesh, really appreciate your tutorials.
So good to see someone providing this type of quality content from so many years, man much love
Thank you so much, that's really an impressive work. I've been spending a lot of time learning with tutorials for years, and this one is clearly one of be the best i've seen so far.
this is above the level, you are better than the professors I encountered, to be honest. You make it clear and well discussed Unmesh. It really helps a lot on us, keep going. AWESOME!
Man, you have a gift. Only a few people can explain things like that. Amazing.
The new lighting setup is sick!
Thank you for noticing!
Every time I say that's enough , the next step makes it better! It's magnificent
Your videos are amazing! Thank you so much for putting these extremely useful tutorials out there for free. You are the best!
Fantastic tutorial, you have a great teaching style. I’be been using PS for a while and realistic composites are tough. Some of the techniques in this video are what separates good from great. Congrats and thank you Unmesh!
As wedding photo designer I always struggled with shadows, thank you so much for this Unmesh. 🙏🙏
Hllo bro
Holy crap, i'm just here for the "~" paint/erase technique. Wow. Glad I woke up today!
no matter how many times I watched this video I still forgot everything I can't apply this with my own I just need to watch this over and over again when making a composite hahaha, this helps me a lot thank you sir unmesh! you are absolutely a life saver and a life changing in beginners like me.
Just when I thought the shadow was too straight he just goes and adds the grunge.
You sir are one heck of a photoshopped!!! RESPECT🙏🙏🙏
It's just incredible the quality of your classes!!
Thanks a lot!!

The quality of content on this channel is unmatched.
_Totally agree. Unmesh is a consummate Photoshop pro._
You know Unmesh, When ever I watch your tutorial, I always learn few new things. You are just awesome!!
A couple of years ago (working with photoshop since 1997) I stumbled upon these Tutorials and learned some new tricks every now and then. So I decided to follow your channel, and also bookmark Videos that had very useful information. I had to stop making the bookmarks, because every video is a real treasure now, and my list became unmanageable. so I just made a mental note: all the answers you need, are on the piximperfect channel XD.
Just seeing the intro. Holyyy I need this
Thanks! I'm sure you'll create some awesome work with these techniques.
That color matching trick is brilliant!!! Thanks a lot for the amazing content and tutorials ❤️❤️🙏🙏

I cosplay and sometimes I have to completely change the background to something more fantastic, but just playing with the shading makes it so much more realistic! Thank you for this video which really explains in detail how to master shading and lighting!
Brilliant. I love that you're sharing things creative projects!
Thanks! I've learned lots. I will have to re-watch a few times but there is so much in here 👌

Very helpful tutorial! Thank you so much Unmesh!
Thank you! As always great value!
You're actually insane. And I thought I was perfectionistic... I love how you suggest there's still more that could be done and I absolutely believe you. Even though this is geared towards teaching digital skills, I think it also requires an artistic eye to execute. True masterclass.
This is so AMAZING!!! Thanks for this tutorial, I rally need it badly
You are the real master on what you do and a very good teacher.Thank you very much.
You are the best teacher I ever learned on the network ever
Didn't even need to watch 5 seconds before dropping a Like. Already knew this would be gold.
How someone can be this much perfect, Thanks unmesh for bieng an absolute teacher.
I love how even after 10 years of knowing photoshop I can learn new techniques from him
Awesome video, you're the best Photoshop magician on CZcams, each example looks awesome, is clear and well explained. Thank you.
Also a quick tip. If you have the move tool selected, you can adjust opacity with the numbers bar. 1 = 10%, 2 = 20% and so on. Clicking 1 and 2 quickly after each other is 12%.
If you want to adjust the fill, hold shift and click a number.
If the brush is selected, the it applies to opacity and fill for the brush.
Also 0 = 100%
Awesome, as always! Thanks!
I'm sleep-deprived and it felt like I was watching Bob Ross just patiently talking about what he does on the canvas. Also, the way he just speaks and uses facial expressions feels so warming and welcoming to the viewer. Love these videos, every time a watch an old or new one.
I love your tutorials. Thank you so much.
your tutorial videos are "ABSOLUTE CINEMA"
I got so much skill by just watching this guy that i can make a career outta it xD truly wish i could support this guy rn but later, imma definitely.
