  • Take Your Retouching to the Next Level with the Magical Powers of Check Layers! Learn how to analyze and view each property of an image visually, like hue, saturation, luminosity, details, etc. just like an X-Ray, thus helping you easily spot inconsistencies and imperfections.
    Whether that's a color shift in the skin tone or a sensor dust, Check Layers (also called False Colors) have got you covered. It helps you identify not only the imperfections but also allows you to easily do your regular retouching process very efficiently and accurately, like dodging and burning.
    Today we will learn how to create check layers for Hue, Saturation, Luminosity, and Details. Hope this tutorial helps. Thanks to you for watching :)

    These check layers are so great! I love compositing, but being red-green colour blind makes it challenging to match elements up sometimes. This made things so easy with such a brilliant outcome! Thank you Unmesh!

  • @WRcolor
    @WRcolor Před 6 lety +3

    This is one of the best Photoshop video! Thank you very much. One comments here: For the saturation check layers, I think just 2 layers are enough: a solid color with Hue blend mode to remove the hue difference, and a solid color with luminosity blend mode to remove the brightness difference. The color blend mode actually is include both Hue and saturation, which is not necessary for the saturation check layers.

    This is an excellent way to restore old scanned photos, whether in true color, stained aged sepia, stained aged color, unevenly hand-tinted color, or discovering why a photo just looks inexplicably "off" to you.
