Photoshop Mama's Digital Makeup Part 3a

[tonetta1234]

On 0:12 you do the composite layer.

What I do I simply:

Select all/ copy merge/ paste.

Voilá. I have a new layer with all the visible features of them all.

Is it ok? Does the same job?

What do you think?

[photoshopmama]

@tonetta1234 Ablolutely Yes, end result is the same. Photoshop allows several ways to do a task.

[DannyNfanforever]

wouldn't it be faster just to do your makeup and take a picture?

@DannyNfanforever Hahaha

[Kelnosha]

[jbababvbfs]

Mama, you're my hero !!!

[xtrem315]

i understand now. thx :D

[xtrem315]

but i didnt understand why u used the gaussian blur on the sharpening group because this is a sharpening and we dont want to blur the lines, contrasts. srry for my posibly bad english :D

[photoshopmama]

We're not blurring a regular color pixel layer, we're blurring an image layer that has had the hipass filter applied which breaks it down into areas of lighter and darker edges, using the blur defines the width of those edges, which when put in one of the contrast blending modes gives the underlying image the appearance of being sharper by bumping the edge contrast.

this is the best tutorial that i found for makeover's. And belive me i searched a lot . So thx a lot photoshop mama. I wish a mama like you :P

[jorgebasadre]

hi mama , what's the different betwenn filter sharpen and hiss pass - them overlay?????

[photoshopmama]

Just the method, USM has a threshold, HighPass can be masked. So it's up to you. USM can cause color halos, highpass doesn't, but you can always change the usm blend mode to luminosity to cancel color halos. I use both at differents times.

[ideografiko]

¡Do you hear about the artist called Escribanto?

He admire you... he love your work.

Do you know his work from him?

[photoshopmama]

I don't think I know him but I hear from so many people it might be my brain just forgot. Thank you and him.

[d1teg]

when you do the high pass sharpening i see absolutely NO difference what so ever

[photoshopmama]

Hard to see on the video but it's there!

[photech]

Just google on shortcuts Photoshop

For all the shortcuts.

Luckly i did not have to memorize them when i did ACI

[photoshopmama]

True 'nuff. Also when you use a command from a menu frequently, take note in the menu list, as often the Key board shortcut is listed next to the name. So, if you find yourself using the same menu command over and over it would be well worth taking note, and using the keyboard shortcut.

You can also create your own personalize shortcuts in CS through CS3.

[MrEliot82]

You can merge the visible image to a new layer, that you show at 1:35min, faster if you just hit on the top layer Ctrl+Alt+Shift+E together! :-)

Nice tutorials, I'll keep watching the rest! ;-)

[photoshopmama]

Yep, know that...but sometimes all those key combos are hard for a newbie to remember. I've been chastised before fore using "too" many shortcuts.
