 Did you miss me? Hello and welcome back to another photo nerd University tutorial Sorry, we've been away, but we've been on assignment doing teaching some workshops out in Joshua Tree National Park But now we're back and we're ready to bring you some more Lightroom Photoshop videos those types of things and while we've been away a lot of you have been posting comments on our videos on this channel and Lots of really great feedback We've done our best to go through and answer everyone's questions If we've missed you go ahead and leave a comment down below and we'll be sure to get back to you But one of the comments that we got was in regards to all of these Nick filter videos that we've been doing It seems like a lot of you have really enjoyed watching these videos But you still have some questions in regards to a few things in how they work Ira Bruce and he writes An informative video Adam, however, once you dropped in the control points and failed to use the sliders It begged the question. How do those control point sliders affect the image? Even though you were happy with the image once you dropped in the control points I would have liked to seen how those control point sliders would have changed the image and their functionality a missed teaching opportunity Now Ira I'm not one for challenges But that sounds like one and so I wanted to take a second to answer this question and as I gave it some thought It's really a difficult question to answer and just one video I feel like if I were to do one video on all the control points Within the seven different filters that Nick filters is giving us I would really be selling you short or I would be creating a video that was like an hour long and While I don't want to create a video That's that long because one of the things that I think is an advantage about our channel is that our videos are shorter and Usually touch on one topic at a time So I don't want to make a video. That's an hour long but what if we made a video for each one of The seven filters that Nick collections offers and talk about how the control points in each of those filters worked I Think that that's a more productive way because whether you are a user using color effects or silver effects Or something like that then you can go to our video specifically for that filter and know exactly how the control points work So what we're going to do is exactly that we're going to create a video for each one of the seven filters that Nick collection offers and We're going to create a playlist specifically to talk about the control points and how they work differently in Each of those applications. Hopefully you will enjoy this series we'd love to hear what you have to say about it and And leave us a comment down below one more thing We understand the confusion with respect to control points and all the different variations that are offered So what we've done is created a print friendly PDF that you could actually print if you were interested and just taking a closer look as to what these different seven control points In each application offers you can find that on our patreon page We'll put a link down in the description below if that's something that you're interested in if not without further ado Let's jump into the first in this seven series color effects
