1. Introduction: What's going on,
guys, my name is mass from final form agency. And in today's video, we're gonna be learning all
about two-point lighting. Specifically how to
colorize it in whatever way you want as if they were
actually taken in the studio. You can use this to just change
whatever color you want. And it's great for
just cover art and other type of artistic
endeavors just like that. We're going to then
follow that up with adding a lighting effect, which will apply
the same concept that we have with the
lighting in our subject. Let's go ahead and get started.
2. Creating Gradient maps and applying colors: All right guys. So let's go ahead and get started with this
tutorial. If you want. Just go ahead and follow along, just download the file and
go ahead and get started. First things first is
we're going to learn how to add the color
to the lighting, the two-point lighting
specifically. So as you can see, it's one light coming
from this side, the left side, and
then another light coming from the right side. We're going to
learn how to apply it in a way that it makes sense. And it says, gonna make it
look cohesive, realistic. Most importantly,
we're gonna do first is we're going to go
in, hit gradient map. Once that's done, we're
going to make sure that this one has black.
Then this other one. I'm just going to
stick with green. You could choose any
color. You'd like. Red, yellow, bank blue. I'm just going to go
ahead with a nice, nice green right there.
You're gonna hit Okay. Once that's done, we're going to invert the mask
controller command I. We're gonna get a brush
B for the brush tool. We're gonna make
sure we are going to be lowering our flow. Then I'll put mine about 15%. We're going to want to color
this artificial lighting. On either side. Not both are assessed,
not going to make sense. So I would suggest that
just started ahead with the left side of the image. As you can see, what we're
gonna be focusing on is just where the light
hits the highlights. We're not going to
be painting the brushing over the darker areas. I'm not going to be brushing
over this opposite side because this is where
it's gonna be hit by the other light. As you can see, this is
from the light to the left. You could technically go
this but the backside, the light coming from the right-hand side.
Let's go ahead. Inverted mask, black. We're going to use brush. Make sure that it's
on white flow. I would go with a low flow just because it's gonna
make it more smooth. And we're going to
start out just kind of brushing color and save this. Don't worry too much
about the spill. Right now. We're gonna
take care of that later. We're going to also be
taken care of the hair. We're just going to be applying it to our correspondingly. There's anything that
you want to go back on. Go ahead, change
the brush collected black and just
shout or you don't guess, this looks pretty
good on this side. Now, we're gonna go ahead and
make another gradient map. Click once. And I make this black. This is where we're
gonna be picking our second color and click
on the right side once. Color. Once we get to pick color, I'm going to go ahead
and make this purple. Again. Trail ferment, I'm Bertha mask. Go ahead with a white brush. We're gonna do the same
thing that we did before. Just pan in opposite left. We're gonna go ahead and pin on the hair, just like before. It goes. So here we have pretty much what the general
product looks like. Now it's up to us to just go
in and make a refinements. The moral finding
mentors, we do, the better, the actual
image will look right? So go ahead and start
in small refinements. All right guys. So this
looks pretty good for me.
3. Applying lighting effects and masking: What I'm gonna do
here is I'm gonna go and lighting effect. So go ahead, drop the sin percent opacity
to students doing. We're going to kind of
frame here on scale. It put the opacity back up to a 100. Now, what we're gonna do, as in terms of an overlay, what we're going to
apply is the screen. Because we want to get
rid of everything that's black and keep
everything that's not. So that's exactly what
that blending mode does. And here we go, Here we have it. Next up is we want to mask out some parts where we want to see the face come through, for example, in a little
bit of the shoulder. And then for the lower part, what I'm gonna do is I'm just
going to blend it in so it kind of fades out with that. First. And come ask here. And we're gonna
turn all these off. We're gonna go into
the first layer. We're going to hit W for wand. And always preached
the pen tool. But for this example right now, and just to kind of
speed the process up, we're just cannot
hit Select Subject. I definitely recommend
going them onto pen tool. It's definitely not
going to hurt anything. It will just help your selection and it would just
make your phone apart product look better. But just for the sake. Go ahead and use Select
Subject, the wand tool. So once that's done, we're going to turn
everything back on. We're gonna go onto
our mask and we're going to hit B for brush Morgan to make sure that we're painting on black were with black. What? I'm going to turn my
flow up to a 100. Start brushing out whatever we don't want it
to show through. For the face, for example, shoulder and so forth. Now, for this, I'm going
to lower the flow, actually just put it down at 20. I'm going to bring
back some details. Then I'm going to get
rid of some others. Making sure that fade in nicely, just the way I wanted to do Control Command
D to de-select. Run here, can go on and further refine mask
if we want to, which is probably now we're going to do more. And to our portrait in my setup, I actually sure I'm still at 20. I'm going to switch the
brush over the block. Also lightly. Sorry guys. Here we go. We're gonna do this by going
to add in here this layer. We're going to add solid color, solid color black because
that's the background is the step is not necessary if you want to follow along sentence that
I'm dealing with, just kind of blending
this out a bit more than you can
feel free to do that. If not, you can skip it. No problem. Areas
that we don't want. I'm doing this right now
to blend, blend or pro. I said that looks pretty good. So kind of do in our finance. Looks good. Great flow if you'd like. All right, great. Now that we've done that,
the final thing that would be left to do would
be matching are letting affect the
actual scene of how our subject is lit.
How would we do that? Basically, we're gonna go ahead. Before we do that, actually, we're gonna make sure you see how shows through
while you're brushing. We're going to blend it. We're gonna go over here. Double-click on the
right-hand side. And we're going to hit
this to underlying layer. We're gonna be using Blend
If and that's going to help us get rid of the halo. So if you see during
this, that's very harsh. So what we do is by
pressing Option, we're going to split
this. Smoothing it out. You see how till you find a good medium
that's perfect for us. They're going to go with that. Do the same here. Option to split up. That looks great.
4. Matching Lighting to Light Elements and Adding Curves: So since we've done that, what we've got left to do
now, like I just said, is matching the lighting in the scene from our subject
to our light here. These neon lights that are
all around your subject. So how are we going to do that? Basically, we're
going to start out by labeling first so we
know where we're at. And down here, this
is the green light. Green light, that's what
this label is going to be. Then we're going
to label this pink or whatever color
you guys chosen. We're gonna do Control
Command J to make a copy. I'm going to drag
this all the way up. On sandstone. We're going to right-click. Go down here. Hit clear layer style. Now we're gonna take our brush. Or even easier, just
click on the mask. Delete to us. We're going
to add another one. We're gonna get our
gradient tool. Here we are. We're going to simply
click from one side to the other side that they see. This side is green. This side is where the
grains coming from, but what are we missing? It's not clip masked
to our light. So how do we do that?
We're going to go ahead. Right-click and I cannot
create a clipping mask. And now it's applied
Italy to the light. We're gonna go ahead
and do the same thing. For the pink light. You're going to duplicate it. We're going to scroll it up
just like we did before. We're going to right-click
down clear layer style. I'm going to delete that
mask and make a new one. We're going to go
under gradient. Now, we're gonna be doing
the opposite of this one. Here we go. You can experiment with it. Okay, that looks pretty
nice right there. Then same thing, right-click. Create, clipping mask. Now, as you guys can see, par subject matches our
background in terms of lighting. We got the green and the
green coming from this side, and we got the pink and the
pink coming from this side. So I wanted to show
you guys really quick. Once again, I'm gonna make this has just don't
follow this long. I'm just showing you
generally process group this. This is what we started with. This is what we ended with guys. How amazing is that? Perfect for some cover and some stuff like that you guys could
just once again, options are limitless. Finally, what we're gonna
do is we could go in, make all our touch ups to
the mask, anything we want. But before we do that, we're going to add a
curves adjustment layer. That's also gonna be clip mask. Right-click onto
create clipping mask. Now we're gonna do that as a finishing touch a little bit and then
we're gonna make it, It's a bit later. Here we go. It's definitely limitless. You guys can just go ahead and apply this same technique
to anything you want. You could be
three-point lighting. It could be 5 lighting. Honestly, I would suggest that the beginning used
to get used to that and then expand
from this idea.
5. Recap: Just to recap, what we did
was from the beginning, we created a gradient map. We then masked it,
inverted the mask. We picked out a color. We then went ahead and went
with the left side first. On the highlights. We brushed it in interspecific
color that we chose. Then we made another
gradient map. We inverted the mask once again. Then we used pink this time, or whatever color
you guys picked. And we brushed into
the highlights. Once that was done, we used blend if to make sure
spill was taken care of. Once that was done, we
uploaded our light source. We made a selection using
the quick wand tool. Once we're selection was done, we then made a mask
and we brushed out the undesired areas where we didn't want it
to delight to be applied. Once that was done, we
copied the gradient maps. We made new masks. Once again with the gradient, which would apply the
colors that we followed, which is the left side green. And now you guys can
see green on this side. For the right side, pink. As you guys can see, we clip
mask those, polish it off. We added a curves
adjustment layer. Applied that brighten
it up a little bit, maybe darken some shadows. And that is what we
went ahead and did.
6. Conclusion & Assignment: The assignment is gonna
be download the file, go ahead and make your
own version of this. You can download any kind
of light pack you want. You can make your
own light pack. You can just go ahead and just follow along
with me if you'd like. And that's gonna be the
assignment I wanted to. Thank you guys and hopefully I'll see
you on the next one.
