Quiet times - Master lighting1:09:44
When I talk about how to master lighting in Composition in Photoshop what I really mean is Master blend modes, contrast and brushing techniques. When lighting a scene in Photoshop, the choice of tone, saturation, luminosity as well as the blend mode you chose to have a huge impact on the final effect. So, mastering lighting in Photoshop is all about the right choice of color and blend modes.
In this tutorial I will show you my approach on how I use blending and how I choose the colors I used when creating different kinds of lights in Photoshop. I will explain how I use layering in order to make the lights pop and make more vivid effects.
The secret about not getting flat lights is on layering and using different blend modes on each layer as well as using different opacities, saturations and color lightness values. Mastering lighting in Photoshop definitely comes with practice so don’t be afraid to set yourself different scenarios to practice.
You d0n’t have to create complex manipulations in order to practice this.

With this course, you will learn my workflow on nine of my most advanced manipulations. When I make these tutorials my goal was to always tech something that my students can apply on their own works rather than just creating what I'm showing.

All these tutorials were created in Photoshop CC and they are not related to each other, meaning you can start with any of them and complete them in any order you like. You will also be able to download the PSD files of each project
