Photoshop Tutorial - Three Layer Orton Effect

[Bull1the1Great]

uf , this is science already ...

[kenyamillin]

Good video. I've been experimenting with a pretty basic Orton for a year or so and mostly I've loved the results. But, after watching your new techniques (new to me), I see I can be doing so much more to enhance certain images. thx

[amkeckler]

Okay, I'm watching the video and trying it out as I watch, pausing as necessary. I just duplicated the layers, but then you said that if I "turn these off" I have my normal exposure there. I don't have that, and I have no idea what I did differently from you. I followed along with exactly what you were doing, I think.

[bobgcampbell]

How many minutes into the video are you at the point you have a question?

[amkeckler]

At about 3:20 you say to duplicate the layer 3 times (but it looks like you actually duplicate it twice, to get a total of three layers), but that if you turn two of them off you still have the normal exposure there. I don't have the normal exposure when I turn the other layers off.

Great tutorial...... by the way I could listen to your voice all day.  :)

[Sabby661]

chinise people have paade in nyc , for real i never heard of it.... cool, btw im not chinise  ,i just love the food , good tutorial

[NadalinaNS]

should i multiply both layers or just one

how many all together

[bobgcampbell]

Group the bottom 2 layers. Group the top 4. Select the bottom of the top group, select the multiply mode for this one (and hence all above as a group).

you're almost whispering.... ! Can hardly hear you

[poisonviper1]

Well then turn up your volume and stop complaining.

[davesabog]

Maybe he just needs to clean his ears. Oh it's a bad effect of poor hygiene hahhah!

Nice tutorial by the way.

[RonnieRocker]

Thanks for the tip! I heard absolutely nothing at first. At least now (after increasing the volume to max) I got some kind of noise in my laptop speakers.

I like what you've done, I liked seeing you work, as always I saw some workflow techniques I didn't use, there's 100 ways to do the same things in photoshop

this image is a bad example, but I learned :-)

you can do the mask on just a 2 layer orton anyway. three of course will add more flexibility. Managing 3 adjustment layers of levels is hard and a bit unnecessary, i'll play around w/ two more

[durkhrod]

As usual great tutorial. I run this through a photo that was a bit noisy and ended up with a great portrait. Thumbs up!

[mc1beth2]

Watching and applying each step on my own image in-between video instructions worked out swell.

Of course, I had to replay your instructions four hundred times to adjust for my learning curve, but I'll be darned, turned out well! Thanks for the walk-through, SOBob.

[42Profi]

Nice tutorial - really - thanks ;-)

[ikitsu22]

how can i put another picture to on top of another picture??

and how can i drag,open or put the image to the layering box?

[Etheracsax]

i wonder that aswell

[InteligentMan]

sorry to say that man but that photo was great but you almost destroyed it...

[craftycarper]

I liked it before

but it works on other photos that don't look so good

[rd88elw]

yeah, this image was already too well, he should have got some old family photos, or did a glamour photo edit to a model

[Funkwich]

I didn't see much of a change from the before/after :\

[cxtranger]

thanks you. what is this effect supposed to do for your pictures anyways?

[DieMenschMaschine85]

How do I add Levels as a layer?

[SYS7EMA7IC]

Layers>New Adjustment Layer>Levels.

[DieMenschMaschine85]

Thank you ;)

[MrcVirus]

[Sickthing59]

Thanks, I'm too green to understand a lot of it but I REALLY appreciate your time. See watch a lot and understand a little. Eventually you understand more. :)

[danebang]

[SimplyUS]
