photoshop tutorial - Dragan effect

[Shanncap37]

A useful information for a newbies like me, thanks i'l try it... cute voice by the way....

[markman2304]

Very informative would have liked it to longer so we could slow down and take more information in.

[ponklinks]

thank you very much. big help ...



[ankboy01]

great video

[rmchoiceii]

I like the effect. Nice tutorial.

[Jigsaw2383]

you mean High Dynamic Range?

[TheHanekam]

@Jigsaw2383 No? HDR is something quite different, where you take 3 or more pictures with different exposures and merge them together.

[Jigsaw2383]

@TheHanekam I know that i'm a photographer but HDR gives the same effect as Dragan effect :\

[TheHanekam]

@Jigsaw2383 I disagree. The HDR images that I've seen, and that I do myself, do not look like this, and take a lot more work. I don't even think this resembles a fake HDR effect.

But I guess we agree to disagree on this:)

[DJRoksor]

@Jigsaw2383 This isn't the same as HDR.. there are some similarities.. like they both increase the contrast and sharpness.. but HDR works better for scenery because you increase the visibility of things that are further away and out of focus while with this effect you make the background darker to make the person more the subject of the photo.

[Jigsaw2383]

@DJRoksor you mean bokeh effect but why would you like to increase the contrast and the sharpness on the out of focus background??? doesn't need any sharp or contrast mod, also HDR has a plenty of solutions isn't only one if you know how to do it of curse, well practice makes the difference.

[Waleedelmelegy]

you are amthing i looking for it for long time thank u

[TheHanekam]

@Waleedelmelegy You're welcome. Glad you like it:)

[msaha1992]

[TheHanekam]

[maxamud14069]

i was grand why!

[fateless78]

i am gonna make one of my own variation of this effect and put it on youtube, i will just put together all those layers and contrast and sharping stuff, like making a food and keep adding ingredients and spices, and it will look like i know what i am doing lol

[alloyciouss]

[TheHanekam]

@alloyciouss Happy to hear it. Thanks for watching:)

[IreneThePido]

[TheHanekam]

@flamethrowerphil Thank you very much:)

[MeatPunch]

This effect should be called "How to make an ugly person uglier"

[skateboard19952006]

@MeatPunch lol

[TheHanekam]

@MeatPunch Well then just don't use it...easy as that.

[strfruit]

@MeatPunch  LOL !

[MeatPunch]

I followed your steps but my result came out better because I am using a Mac. Steve Job's ghost told me so.

[Louise1563]

Too fast for me to catch everything. I wasted my time. Why not go slower so everyone can follow you. Do two videos instead of one.

[TheHanekam]

@Louise1563 Have you heard of the "pause" button? Everyone seems to be able to follow.....

[trekkeur08]

Thanks you so much ! Very Nice effect ! 

[helmutt]

EXCELLENT Tutorial, I just gave it a shot and LOVE the outcome. I used CS3 and had no problem. I've been wondering how to create this effect for months. Thank you very, very much!!!

[TheHanekam]

@helmutt Happy to help, glad you like it:)

[ladydrummond2]

Again, you go at a pace that others can follow and explain it simply enough that an intermediate user can understand! Thanks :)

[TheHanekam]

@ladydrummond2 Thank you very much,happy to hear it:)

[mybloodysabbath]

hi can u help me do a dragan effect using corel paintshop x4,,thanks...please...

[TheHanekam]

@mybloodysabbath I've never tried that program, so I'm sorry, I can't help you:/

[Doriamo]

You have a nice speaking voice and I really appreciate this tutorial!

[TheHanekam]

@Doriamo Thank you very much. Happy you like it:)

[TheAwesomeBBQ]

thanks so much for the tutorial! I couldnt make the brush work, even though the opacity was on 100% :/ but my image still looks nice :)

[Sandkeng]

@ 7:40

--Why is not working...?

@7:47

-- i don't know...?

the opacity brush was at 0% Ha ha ha... that made me laugh...

anyways nice try, but the lines are almost too dark. the rule is to brighten up the highlights and make the textures more prominent rather than, making the dark parts darker.

[SouthernMPire]

THank You Sooo Much and its English and slow

[TheHanekam]

@SouthernMPire You're welcome. Yes, I couldn't find any good tutorials in english, so i Made my own:)

[ranjoharbri]

Great video, one of the best I've seen on recreating the Dragan Effect - Thank You.

[TheHanekam]

@ranjoharbri Happy to help. Thanks for your comment:)

[itsjusticebeats]

Thx for the tutorial:) Next time can you please read out the numbers for the values that you change, cuz it's hard to see what's written on the screen all the time

[TheHanekam]

@itsjusticebeats The values will be different every time, depending on the picture you use. So play around with it to get the best result for your specific picture.

[TheHanekam]

@itsjusticebeats thank you.

Like I say in the video, the values are different for every picture, so you just have to try and see what works for you:)

[2pacalyptic7]

More ladies should make tutorials and I mean more videos too, its just more exciting to listen to softer and sweeter voice + such detailed tutorial ! Fell in love with you ;D Thanks ! :) <3

[djnusantara]

thanks hanekam.. it's a very good tutorial dragan effect you've had. i also tried with dave hill effect by you. and both i think also depends on the photo that we took.

[TheHanekam]

@leemboo7 Happy to hear you could use it, happy to help:)

[Dreamtime76]

excelent tutorial!

Thank you very much!!!

[willdurden]

i don't have the Variations option on my CS5. are you in 8/16/32bits????

i tried to convert to 32b and still didn't work.

thanks.

[TheHanekam]

@willdurden I in 32 bit

[MrNullifier]

Brilliant tutorial. Thank you very much.

[exoprasta]

dragan, hill, greenberg, bradley all feature 'dimensional look' portraits that makes the photo look 3D and has nice depth. but what photographers often do is just wildly take pictures without due consideration to the lighting conditions and hope photoshop do magic and make their photos look like dragan's. dragan's photos all have perfect lighting....this is where their intelligence separates the photo results with the photos 100% made by photoshop...
