What is a shadow? Simply, a dark area, right? Now, is there any way to make a selection of dark areas? Yes! In this tutorial, we will first use the RGB Channel to make a selection based on "luminosity". Which means, the brighter areas will be selected and the darker areas won't be selected. However, since we want to modify just the opposite (i.e. dark areas), we will invert the selection. Then, putting only the dark areas on its own layer, we'll change its blend mode to "screen". Remember, "Screen" is a blend mode which brightens up stuff! And therefore, that should do the trick!

However, there might be situations where the shadows may turn out to be faded or you might observe some color shifts. We'll also discuss what to do then. I have enough examples to get that covered. Hope this video helps you.

In this tutorial, we'll be focusing on "Targeted Adjustment Tool" in ACR to visually manipulate the luminosity of Black and White Mix or the Grayscale Mix. Instead of hunting around with each sliders of individual colors like reds, oranges, or blues, once you convert an image to grayscale, we really have no clue which color is where, that's when Targeted Adjustment kicks in. It allows you to click and drag on a particular area of the image and it analyzes the color automatically.

We'll also be looking into few effects like adding grain, removing banding, and also adding texture to your images to really spice things up. Hope this video helps you!

Add Flair and Texture to Your Portraits by Applying the Splatter or the Spray Effect in Photoshop. Then, learn how to engrave and paint it on any surface, like paper or canvas, all this, just by using blend modes, blend if, and masking. Creative masking is the basis of this tutorial. By using some awesome brushes, we are simply going to make parts of the image visible and invisible in a creative fashion to achieve the desired effect. This also involves separating the subject and the background in order to treat them differently.

Besides masking, we'll be using some filters to stylize the portrait even more and allow it to match with the surface and the medium. Then, by apply multiple blend modes and blend-if, we'll get the images look natural on any surface. All the best, and I hope this video helps you!
