BETTER than an Orton Effect!

- Have you ever wondered how specific photos just have that "look"? You know, the look that makes you say, "WOW! That Photo is INCREDIBLE! They must have a nice camera!"
Haha, truth be told, it's never really the camera, is it?
I have found that many images that have that look draw me into specific areas of the photo to grab my attention. This is a DELIBERATE action!
There are many ways to grab the viewer's attention, but today I will reveal my secrets for building a fabulous glow. I use this technique in nearly every one of my images, and I couldn't live without it.
Some people call this the "Orton Effect," but this is not really an Orton Effect because it uses a different process. I prefer to call it a glow or radiance effect.
Enjoy and remember to experiment!

Thank You, this was definitely one of the best tutorials I ever watch, clear, explaining the reasons behind the choice of effect and letting us the freedom to explore it our selves, great voice tone and pauses on the speech! Congrats.
Thanks so much 😁
That was so good, thanks Blake. I have some new images that will really benefit from this, can't wait to give it a go!
Another outstanding tutorial, Blake!
OMG....this effect is mind-blowing, but I am almost crying right now, I was done retouching my 45 photos and now I want to start all over again... thank you though ahah
Glad you like it! It's never good enough, I know 🤣 it happens to me all the time!
Blake, once again you've given us a lot of interesting information to play around with. Thank you.
Ooh, that was fun and informative. I was following along and just completely transformed an image into something I liked into something I loved. Using a solid color and then stacking a channel mixer (Lum blend) on top let me lift and push the glow right where I wanted it.
Fabulous tutorial, as always Blake. Thanks
just phenomenal! thanks Blake!
This is one of the best explained and more helpful editing videos I've ever encountered. Thank you so so much!!!
This is simply amazing. I subscribe to lots of great photography channels, but you are the one consistently thinking out of the box and bringing new stuff I have not seen anywhere else.
I love this comment! Thank you so much 😁
Blake - thanks for this tutorial. I really like adding an "Orton type glow" to most of my landscapes. This video explains color vs tone in a basic and easy to understand way.
Hi Blake, Thank you so much for another useful and interesting video. I really liked your explanation of how the blur acts as a dodge and burn technique. This is a workflow that will be easy for me to use in practice without an Action.
Another great presentation, Blake! You are touching on issues that I've been struggling with, and you DO make things much clearer. Keep up the fine work!
😉 YESSSS! THANKS!
Just great!!! Thanks so much. Used your advices and have now new old photos. Just amazing!!
That makes me pretty happy! Glad you liked it 😁
Thank you for continually thinking out of the box and sharing those techniques with us, Blake. There is now way I will be using the "Rudis Glow" on my portraits without mentioning this video. Very impressed with the level of refinement this workflow offers and love the creative possibilities from those solid color/channel mix layers. Another masterclass, Sir!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it 😁 I love what I get to do for a living.
@@f64Academy please keep it up, your sheer passion really shines through! One question: any reason why I should not change the blending mode of the initial base blur layer to SoftLight vs Linear? In my experience, the effect is a little too strong on color saturation/contrast in landscape shots. Maybe a matter of taste, but the shadows also lose texture and block up on my very contrasty scenes. I am hesitant to over-use the curve/level adjustment to retrieve those shadow details when using Linear Light. Thanks again!
fantastic! love a bit glow in some of my landscapes and some portraits, this has way more options to work with! Thanks for this tutorial, im gonna give it a go on a few portraits i recently took as well as some autumn color landscapes!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 always great learning here!
This is awesome.Thank you🙏
Awesome! Thank you.

Interesting technique! I have tried many glows... This is unique
This is absolutely incredible! Thanks for this amazing video. Game changer!!

Top Level Technique again Blake..! Thank you very much for sharing it and as I missed to send you my sincere congrats for your both presentations during the Ps Summit III, I am doing it right now! Again, any presence of you under any Ps circumstances, is a pleasure and a heavy lesson as well! ❤
Oh wow! Thank you so much, literally means the world to me 😁
holy crapp, this actually helps skin tones!!! makes them a little more punchy, great for tan looks!
That is definitely a great application for it.
never thought I'd be able to fix up my older Blackberry etc type pics from years ago. Now I see it's possible. Thanks Blake.
I was looking for a tutorial on the 'orton effect' on portraits and this was the first one I found and its really helpful :)
Glad you found it and enjoyed it 😁
Amazed on how you come up with great ways to improve image edition, how well explained you make your videos and how enthusiastic you are teaching them...thank you!
Thanks, I really love what I get to do for a living. Messages like this are very rewarding, so I appreciate you!
Game changer this, Blake. You do realise im now having to go though all my ` Portfolio ` work and apply this effect. sheesh when you think you know all there is to know! Good stuff my man !

Always great watching this guy 👍🏻
Glad you enjoy it! I really appreciate it :)
love this, like it better than the Orton effect that I leant before.
Awesome! Glad you liked it 😁
Thank you for a very well explained and useful colour and light technique video. I have one question and apologise in advance. When experimenting with the luminance values through curves etc how do you know when you have pushed your highlights too far and they are clipped. I am familiar with the highlight warning in lightroom but never sure in PS particularly when processing for print?
Phew ! That's a lot to take in at hyperspeed ! Thank you
You bet! Don't watch me in 2x speed :) haha
Very clever I will have to write the way you do it, otherwise, god knows what will happen. Cheers another great video.
Brilliant
last example was awesome
Thanks 😁
thanks alot man this tutorial was amazing
Pleasure! Glad you liked it.
I won’t lie, at the beginning of the tutorial, I thought, this is lame I’m not trying this. But when you got the end with the portrait, my mind was changed. It was broken down to capture my interest! Definitely subbing now! Thank you!
Awesome! I am so glad you enjoyed it :)
nice and Excellent😍
Really awesome way of getting the glow into an image
Glad you like it!
This was really helpfull
Fantastic

@@f64Academy iwas doing this to my images but this style is phaaaaaat..love it
Thank you so much, this is great
My pleasure!
@@f64Academy I really learn so much, I practice now a lot. And the results are great
realy good 👋👋
that's really neat
Thanks!
Really love this short tutorial, don't understand that there're 14 thumbs down........Going to use this on my future portraits. Great work and many thanks!
I certainly don't have 14 ex girlfriends so I'm not sure why either 😎
Genius! Thanks for letting us into your brain and thought process for a bit. Well worth the time. Another sleepless night ahead. LOL
Haha! Oh we've only scraped the surface! You wouldn't want to see all the stuff so deep in there 🤣
Excellent ! This is an Orton Effect 2.0 and I love this new method! Like David Taddei says in the comments, I'll call it Rudis Glow, haha! Thanks a lot for that!
Haha, I love it!
I was following you step by step but I'm having problems with the solid color adjustment I can't add it to the glow
I am putting this effect on everything from now on
Like Frank's Hot Sauce? I love it 🤣
@@f64Academy 😂
Somehow gives a 90s vibe to images.
i'm wondering if this is possible in premiere pro aswell. but beside that this is a masterful video
I have no idea, I dont use premiere pro
I love using this effect in my photos, but is there a way to duplicate the effect in lightroom?
First comment :)) love it
When it comes to getting the best from colour/tone in our images… listen to Blake… I do.! Inspiring tutorial for the 21st century… Think……. If Fox-Talbot has access to Photoshop back in the mid 1800s, where would we be now?😁👍🏻
Oh wow! Thank you so much 😁 this is a very rewarding comment.
Think....If Fox-Talbot has access to Photoshop back when men first learned how to write, where would we be now?
I appreciate it but it is impractical. People spend too much time in a single photo. That's why I use lightroom and an old fashioned Orton effect when necessary, which is more than enough for me.
True, but this is for those images that need that extra time. That's kinda like saying all cake is better without icing, sure some cakes are, but not all of them 😎
