GOOD JOB DUDE...WORKED LIKE A CHARM...ITS REAAALL CLOSE

[martines99666]

Jesus Christ...."he probably is polish" HE IS.....you are talking about dragan effect and you even do not know who he is....what a disaster...and for your information - the man on the picture you use is Andrzej Mleczko - famous polish graphic artist :(

[SteveGerriorRN]

Hey thanks for the video, always looking for new effects that I can use with my male models. Here is one that I think is like the 300, I call it the Spartan look. I am currently using it as my YouTube profile pic. Check it out.

[007techster]

Cool Effect Thanks

[arkangelp666]

what career teach how to use photoshop??..

[KBeOKEH]

Why the hell would anyone want to use the DRAGAN effect and ruin a decent photo? Not me!

[jimmydude1123]

@KBeOKEH lol nice try...

[PuppyMan599]

Very good tutorial, thanks. Followed each step with, what you might call a nice shot of my son. And it has turned out quite stunning. Thanks again.

[kaiZEr2618]

[yansuji91]

why my PS didn't have HDR toning option in Image --adjustment ?

[StaceyRulesUniverse]

How did you change the size of the paint brush without clicking it

[yansuji91]

@StaceyRulesUniverse I think is ctrl + alt + mouse drag

[ProdromosKoukos]

Really like your tuts but this is total fail :(

[Iamshaswat]

Slow it down asshole

[Alderlyn74]

[7nationpotty]

[burpqueen]

i been trying this soooo hard but i cant seem to get it!

[Gismo834]

Very Good Tutorial. Its the best for the Dragan Effect on youtube. Not complicated like other ones, and the result is a good base for the effekt.

Than You Very much

[broncojonnes]

fuck your ads

[newcoyote]

This is the only comprehensible video on the effect I have found. I am getting pretty good results already and I have only just started to experiment. Thank you very much.

[aaarekkk91]

yes he is polish ;) and he is a PRO !

[charlize29]

THANKS FOR THIS TOM, VERY BRIEF AND CONCISE TUTORIAL.....AWESOME!! =)) Do you have the GRUNGE effect tutorial? =))

[traderboy99]

Do you use a tablet, or a mouse?

[bossisdead]

@traderboy99 any self respecting photoshop junkie will use a tablet, but you can use a mouse....badly. buy a tablet, even the cheapest dirt one will do. just get one and you wont regret it! i use an intuos 2 small and its perfect!

[traderboy99]

@bossisdead how much did it cost u???

[LilFlac3]

I've always wondered how this effect was achieved but couldnt find anything out about it. Thanks for the great video tutorial.

[Overxpossed]

The host is on coke!

[colopaulx]

increible!!! hace tiempo que andaba buscando este efecto pero no me acordaba del nombre, muy buen video! grcias

[sophierocks1234]

His website has creepy music :S

[Dukeofyork123]

Ohhhhhhh I can't wait to use this effect

[aajhetechocomel]

I love this tut! It's so easy, plus changing the effects a little bit can change the pic a lot :)

[iLoveDinoRawrsz]

I'm a huge fan of your vids, absolutely love them :D

I was wondering if you could maybe link back to pictures? It would make it much easier to practise, sometimes it's hard to find a good picture lol.

[SpeakerFreq]

haha that could make any photo look epic

[TheGuyInUrCloset]

Where do you get your stock photos from?

[siikjesus]

how did you adjust the size of the brush without bringing up the brush box?

[digitalmorphine]

@siikjesus Using the square bracket keys does this.

Additionally, if you want to change the hardness of a brush, you do so holding the shift key and pressing either square bracket key.

[Shemarriedacloud]

Thanks so much for this tutorial!! It turned out so great on my images! It's the perfect effect for male head shots when they don't want them to be too soft.

[Wrogy511]

could you tell me where do you get these pics from,,, XD

[MegaRitual]

Howard Man I really Like The Way U Talk ...

[TheGreatOne222]

QUESTION!!: where do you get your generic pictures that you work with, i want some models or things that are unedited that i can practice fixing up

[Xtremist777]

@TheGreatOne222 Just use google images. That's your practice. I used Bill Murray and had good results.

[Thomas27Mytube]

Thanks again, your tutorials have helped me out a lot. I'm going to like your facebook page now!

[simme808]

@iceflowstudios how did you change the opacity from 70 to 20% without clicking the opacity thing at the top?

[IceflowStudios]

@simme808 Use the number keys on your keyboard. #7 will set an opacity of 70%.

[simme808]

@simme808 thank you! A really Timesaver XD

But is there a way to change the Flow?

[colorfulmindplay]

@simme808 Click the layer you want to affect the Opacity on, and press 7 for 70% opacque, 2 for 20% opaque, 3 for 30%, ect.. 0 is 100% opaque.

[SuperPSTutorials]

Awesome tut!

I was wondering how to do something like this.

[ApexIXMR]

I know someone with the same last name. It's pronounced Dray-gun. Dra(like day) & gon(like gun).

[hamthemad]

Could you make a tutorial on how to make realistic looking blood?

[riahon]

This video tutorial in my opinion has been the most inspiring!

[TheDBoBo]

[TrummBandLomm]

[lovekittyforever]

Thanks Tom! 

[ranganathpai]

@lovekittyforever I see what you did thar!!

[Traehalicious]

@lovekittyforever His name is Howard... I think...

[lovekittyforever]

@Traehalicious yes, I know but if you watched "Photoshop: Channel Mixer (Black and White Images)" you would know why I said Tom :d

[myoozikaddikt17]

@lovekittyforever his name isn't Tom....

[Jerbod2]

Nice video, again!

[shinydialga123]

once again a great tutorial. Love watching them :)

[daSenfgurke]

sup, tom?

[L3snyDziad]

Youtube does not like linking so hard that I had to post my coment for a fifth time now :/

Here is a little tip (I am not being cheeky):

go to google translate

choose Polish to English

type Andrzej Dragan

press "listen" button under original ;)

Nice tutorial, by the way ;)

[wormikiller]

LIKE IT

[CSshockwavez]

can you do a tutorial on how to link objects that are on different layers, to make a whole shape, and how to make it look genuine.

[CBAtheBboy]

Thanks a lot for your tutorials :D

[HorvathAlteisen]

Andrzej is spoken Andschej

the dsch like dschungel

[sever0us]

@mehmetnayal Aye Commerade!

[DariusDaGreat86]

Excellent tut 

[pwed546]

where do you find your original images?

i can never find any good ones, but you seem to get great subjects

[onepiece321321]

amazing tutorial man!

[HorstMega]

he looks like one from GTA :D

[MrsSjaal]

Wow 0.o you-are-good!

[AmrMacintosh]

dude, you're awesome!!

[TheBrixis]

This was pretty goddamn awesome, thanks for it :-)

[ShuffleBassT]

VERY NICE . !

keep up the effect tutorials . : )

[dragan38765]

My name is Dragan from Bosnia :)

[PoesKlap133]

No dodging or burning the highlights, midtones and shadows? Ive gotten really awesome results with dodge and burn

[DEEZTV]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[vince1485]

Thanks for Dragan tutorial sir. ^_^

[sibedl]

awsome!

[liamacig]

can you put a link to andrei's site in the description box please?

good tutorial by the way :-)

[TheSamus1992]

i didnt even no they had a facebook page =(

[leviphillip]

I don't think it is very successful. The reason Andrzej is so successful is because he achieves this effect with lighting. Not with photoshop. Photoshop can never compensate for bad photography.

[Chilli0912]

Brilliant !!!! a 1000 thank you's

[dpxmidisplaylol]

Amazing! Loved it, thanks a lot Howard!

[JnAStudios]

I LOVE this!! Great job, Howard!! Favorited!!

[TheWildHaggis]

Zee? It must have been the mic or solar flares.

[Zaviex]

looks like drake

[JKL619JKL]

You Mic Is Perfect And Don't Listen To Other Noobs.

[N6600]

Requesting for a basic TopGear effect on car photos please. thanks. imma noob here...

[HFCHSvids]

@N6600 The top gear camera crew uses a cooling filter as well as a neutral density graduated filter on a lot of their shots to give it a very dramatic look. if you can find info on those two things (which you should have no problem doing) you will be set to go. good look man

[N6600]

@HFCHSvids thank you sir.

[SamIves85]

@HFCHSvids Yeah I noticed that but never knew the effects names. Top Gear is the most visually pleasing programme imo.

[HFCHSvids]

@SamIves85 and also one of the funniest!

[SamIves85]

@HFCHSvids the ONLY reason I would even consider to continue paying my TV licence. Give me Top Gear, Discovery channel, National Geographic channel and then more David Attenborough :)

[Pur3Kiwi]

Awesome thanks alot , fyi your mic is great clear and i can understand you not like most of these photoshop tutorials getting around

[ACherimoya]

I was listening to The Instance podcast the other day, and one of the sponsors was... Iceflow Studios. When worlds collide!

[IceflowStudios]

@ACherimoya Really? What episode was this?! I listen to The Instance every week.

[ACherimoya]

@IceflowStudios It was episode 218, "Lady Asswhisperer", from February 19th, the first one with the new co-hosts. "Additional support for this episode comes from..." and the very last one on the list was Iceflow Studios!

[IceflowStudios]

@ACherimoya Ah! I listened to that episode live. I guess they add the sponsors afterwards. :)

[ACherimoya]

@IceflowStudios I have only the recorded cast via Google Listen for comfort, as I don't actually know when they do the live cast (and I need something to listen to at work). But it was pretty cool to hear! I was like "Oh, I watch his Photoshop videos!" Good on you for supporting those guys.

[fmbwsd]

I really don't like your voice, it kind of annoys me at some points, but I do love your tuts... thumbs up!

[sever0us]

Yugoslavian

[mehmetnayal]

@sever0us mother Russia!!

[EmberflyLayouts]

Thanks for the tutorial!

[ReareaGirl]

Love it!!!!

[PERRONmedia]

thanks! all the other tutorials I could find were in a different language.

[sangng1993]

so i went to the web site, a leave after 5 seconds because the music creeps me out o.o

[VirtualTutoStudio]

No entendi muy bien el nombre del tutorial DRAGAN EFECT no deveria ser otro ?

[savetherocks]

Other than experimentation, how did you learn what you know about Photoshop?

[Solniadora]

Tom u make awesome tutorials lol

[sonik121]

Polish :D

Co za asy.

[EseGavino7]

Wow dude the black and white looks really nice just maybe lower the highlights a little nice effect on both color and black and white keep it up!

[A40Watkid]

I could listen to your voice all day

[Ahp12]

Dang, great tutorial!

[Mikaelbg]

Howard, you are good.

[buxde123]

@Mikaelbg *God.

[JG20Productions]

@Mikaelbg Do you mean Tom?

[Fr33man101]

i think that there are A LOT more techniques that andzrej dragan uses.

one thing that i would try is to work with the liquify filter to deform the proportions. and there is a lot more you can do....

[skiie]

you're amazing at everything forever.

[KiNGxSuNRiSe]

Thanks, that looks awesome

[BluDrgn426]

i'll use this to give grit to my photos, hehe

[brittanyleighomg]

THANK YOU! I had scene this effect before but did not know how to describe it to ask for a tutorial!
