Transcripts

1. Intro: Hello everyone. My name is Ahmed. I'm a digital artists and creative director working from past seven years. I've been very lucky to work with major brands including United Nations, guide me, Pepsi, Government of Canada are going out of focus. In this lesson, I will teach you some basic techniques and professional process of retouching and editing pictures like Kim Kardashian and her Instagram feed. What you will learn in this class, I'm revealing all my secrets, two different methods and technique to create different photo editing styles and looks. And it's used in different projects and a streamlined workflow of editing. Then for traits in harmony, you will learn how to identify a colored style and moods of picture, how to edit hue, saturation and lightness of your colors. You will also explore Adobe Camera Raw, photo editing, fashion photo editing, how to create presets and specific photo style, and how we can manipulate coded features in editing. The class is divided into a few parts. Introduction, identify photo style, correction, retouching, editing picture. Three, unique editing style. And in the end class project and final third. So let's start the class. 2. Identify Photo Moods : So first of all, we need to identify the picture style and the color mode of picture of ** Kim develop their style. On her Instagram feed. I selected different pictures from her profile so we can identify different colors, styles, and editing moves he is using. Here are the pictures. As we go through these pictures, we can see there are three different major style she's using. Number one is this, which have very dark, very black-and-white feeling. Because she is just highlighting the body colors, which is mostly orange and red. And all the colors are faded out. Teams using it for our professional, more commercial pictures. This is also a second editing style sheets using where you can see the main skin tones are mostly very, very red. End the audience side of the body. And the third picture, or the third photo editing tone she is using, which we can see the switches. She is using very magenta and very Sian and tale tone. You can see the background, all that blue colors, all that blue background, all the blue sky is turned into the cyan color and more shadows and highlights are almost merged. So it's creating almost balanced in that picture. And also, if we explore her pictures little bit, we can see she is also applying some vintage effect, some green in her picture to keep the pictures very classic. Also, when we explore areas that are very different editing style in that dark environment with tears and where the body colors are more prominent. This is also an example of vintage field in the pictures. So this is the way we can, we can read the color tones and photo moods, recharge she's using or developing. In this method, we can develop any picture and any color. For example, in this, in this picture, you can see the blue color and the body colors are more prominent, everything else, the saturated. So I just developed ISL, collected some stock pictures that we will experiment and create color tones similar to her profile pictures or her Instagram pictures. So we will try to develop that same vintage effect in these pictures and some different presets which Kim is using in her profile. So let's start. 3. Basic & Body Retouching: First of all, we will select the first picture as a reference and open it in Photoshop. And then we will select the other pixels that we want to develop in the style and edit it. So we will open it in Photoshop. I will add all these pictures in the resource section of my class so you can use it or you can use your own picture. After that, click on Window and range and press enter and click on it. It will help you to create better editing and to work more efficiently. So let's start the editing. First of all, we need to do basic retouching of this picture and basic body retouching and body modification for it. We will first of all, auto tune it. Auto could cross it and auto quality. So the picture get into its original form. After that, we would need to crop this image a little bit so it gets in a better proportion, like the Kims picture always have a solvable crop it a little bit. I think this is perfect and it's giving a same perspective as the Kims picture have. After it, we need to enhance some body features which Kim's picture always have, which is enhanced curves. So we need to enhance the curse of our model also. First of all, we will go to the Liquify. Liquify tool. You can do basically any body modifications and any enhancement in the body of our. For example, we need to select the first liquefied tool and increase its size just a little bit. Afternoon, you can enhance the curves of our model and you can go all the way. So pretty much everything that we need to manipulate or modify in the body modifications. Because curves are most prominent in the Kims picture. So we will focus on the manipulating our highlighting cursor father model. It also depends on our tastes and our requirements for the shoot. You can also use different tools or explore different tools. For example, you can use the Reconstruct tool and you can undo all the editing in the liquefy. And also you can use blog tool to enhance the curves off your modal little bit more in a bloated feeling. And it will also give you a very realistic effect. We can also use up the CO2. It will slimmed down the waste of our model basically are so-called every material from that center point. If there is anything you want to undo or you want to delete, you can always use the Reconstruct tool so it will get into its original form. With the face of it. You can pretty much change everything with the face features. You can just click on the face, liquefy and you can change the size. You can just change the height of wise. Also, you can change the width. You can change the height of nodes and everything. You can change the smile. Just take your time and give every process time and focus on the model beautification, the model elements so you fulfill all the requirements of your shoe. And after finalizing, just click Okay. Here is before and after the body modifications. If you focus on that point, we can see there is some realistic issue in the stores near the body curves. So we will try to resolve this issue. To cover this, just duplicate this layer, layer of our background and just click okay, and after that, go to Filter and apply Liquify. Liquify is directly applied on our Duplicate Layer. And then you can use the eraser tool and smooth eraser tool to delete the bag is a bag which is disturbed by the Liquify tool. Just take your time. Zoom in that picture so you can you don't miss a single detail of the victim because it's a fashion show and you're just going to print on a large scale. So we need to focus on every single pixel detail. Just focus on the editing and it's a time taking process. But if you invest time on it, no one will understand that. It's photoshoot, audits, Photoshop, and it will look very realistic and it will help us to achieve a better fashion editing in the photographs. And after that, we can just merge both layers. Then you can do the basic phase, refreshing our body retouching for the photo and face retouching, I have a very detailed class which will lead you every step in the very professional manner. I will post this debt class in the project section and also the information section of this class so far now in this project we will use a shortcut way or searching for it. We will duplicate the layer and we will go to the Filter and then Noise and dust and scratches. And we will click on it and we will try to apply the radius around 22 where everything gets a little blurred and most, I think 12 is perfect. And then we will click Okay, and then we will go to the Filter again. After that, go to the Filter Noise and go to the blood, and click on Gaussian blur and apply a little bit of God. And after that, go to your layer and layer mask and select the brush tool. And with the brush to apply some photo retouching. So very, very basic method or photo retouching are facing today. And it's just a shortcut way. You can lower the opacity of your brush. Florida very smooth. And you can just apply brush on everywhere on the face and body parts to make the skin little smoother. So where you think you need to apply it more, you can apply double time. But I Shan't. It will smooth it out more. Just take your time and it will be great result if you give time to it, you can increase the opacity of your brush and then apply it anywhere you want to smooth this out. Increase the size of brush lettering lived on the body. So you will get a basic retouching and then merge it down. So you will achieve the basic retouching and the zinc. So pretty much for now, we are done with the three editing and basic body editing. So now we will go and develop the style for this image. 4. intro to adobe camera raw: To develop the style like Kim Kardashian and we will help with the camera raw filter. And to use a camera raw filter, you need to introduction of the Camera Raw Filter. So first of all, I need to give you the introduction for the Camera Raw Filter. So I will select this picture and go to Camera Raw Filter. And then Camera Raw Filter is open up. We have different styles, we have different options. We can use in the camera raw filter, for example, we have basics of the picture where you can change the exposure. Contrast highlights, shadows, textures, clarity, vibrance, for example, and temperature of the picture. Then we have curves and we have curves in channels. We can edit that. We have colored mixers where we can change the hue, saturation and luminance or single colors. Then we have color grading option where we can add some colors and shadows and highlights for the building. And then we have some options for the use symmetry to change the angle of our image and optics to add some distortion in the image. Also, we have effects like we can add green in the image, or we can add with knitting in the image. Also dead, we have calibration options in the image where we can calibrate our image according to our requirement. And after that, there are also many other options. For example, you can select the presets, already available presets to edit the image at all. So you have Brush tool, you have gradient filter edited. So this is a pretty much introduction of the camera raw filter. And we have the mirror options where we can see the before and after of the image. So let's start editing this image. 5. Edit style 1: So to editing this image, we will open the Camera Raw Filter again. And we will decrease its size. So we can see the previous image that we want to view that as a reference, which is games picture. So let's start. First of all, we need to play with the basics. So we need to decrease some highlights a little bit and increase some shadows. After that, we need to increase some familiarity and decrees or texture a little bit. To make this picture very smooth, we need to decrease our vibrance little bit around 27. It's all according to our tastes and requirement. After that, for the curves. We can see there are little fade in the picture and there is a very intense shadows and highlights we are seeing in the picture. So we will use three points and lift our shadows a little bit. And lift our highlights. That will go and decrease our mid shadows a little bit and increase our mid highlights a little bit. After that. We will keep saying both pictures so we can see the color tones and color balance in that picture as it happened. After that, we will go to the color mix charity. This is the place where all the magic will happen. So we need to decrease that red and we need to increase the orange. So it gets the same color as that Kim's picture. Then we need to decrease all the other colors around 70. And then we'd need to play with the reds and oranges little bit more. And then we will go to the calibration and change our blue Brian reading minus 18. And our ed friendly towards about experimenting. You can do the experiment and see where you can achieving that motto. I think we achieved that all these settings, we need to degree the saturation a little bit more. Blue primary aging. I don't 60 minus 60 is perfect. And no primary or minus 14, you can use a hue saturation at 0. Then you can also increase contrast. This picture where to look more and increase the highlights, literally the commode, develop a style like came. In the end. We can select the effect and add some vegan eating in debt with Chip, and also add some greens. And we can lumen to see how much beings are applied on our picture. And after that, you can just click on these three icons and reset to save these settings for further use. We will use it as name. It came dark, urban dark because you can use it in any urban environments and very highlight and shadow beast pictures. And we will press Okay. So here is our final result of our before and after pictures. The way she edits or fixtures for the Instagram. So now we can try to experiment this preset or this tile on other picture. So we'll select this picture for the experiment and open it in. Photoshop. Tool takes a little time and then just set your workspace. And then we will go to the Filter camera Raw Filter. And after opening the camera raw filter, we will go to Insert, select the might've been taught filter which we create you. After that, we can change anything. If we want to further filter, for example, we can increase or decrease that. We can increase or decrease the exposure, our shadows, whatever we want to develop, it's totally on us. And we can do anything. We want to, even though we created up dessert. After that, we will press Okay. And here is our final result for the reset. After that, we can also make any body corrections in this picture I also heard for it we will select the liquefy and we will select the main tool. And we can, for example, add the curves. Are, we can develop more curve in the picture of model. So it's all depend on us, whatever the requirements of the shoot. After finalizing your picture, just click Okay. And it is the quickest way to develop after making that preset. So now we will explore how we can. 6. Edit style 2: So now we will explore another editing style of Kim's Instagrams with zeros, which is this one. Does cyan and magenta with a little vintage and cranial lobe. It's widely used. Her Instagram pictures, for example, in these images, in this image, in this image. So we will try to replicate this effect especially. So we will first open this picture in Photoshop as a reference. Then we will select our stock picture that we want to replicate in their style. We have different pictures. We can choose any picture from other stocks that we want to replicate in dead style. I think this picture will work fine, so we will open it in Photoshop. It will take time to open these files and correct these files. So I will open both pictures separately, enough staff sections, and I need to crop this picture a little bit to make this picture more proportional. So here It's looking fine. And then we can first of all, made some initial yes reattaching, body retouching and enhancements. For example, we need to auto color this image, Auto Tone this image, and auto draw this edge. So it gets in its original form. After that, we need to add some body changing the need for it. We will go to the slack and we will select Subject. In this, our subject will get separated and it will be easy to make anything in the subject. So our subject is selected. We will just click on it and Layer via Copy. And here is our subject is selected separately. And we can make anybody changes in their clear, and it will not affect the layer behind and it will look very professional and very smooth body changing. So we will select this layer and click on the filter and dignified. In the liquefy section, we can change any possible body trainings. For example, we have different kinds of tools here. Forward wrap tool, reconstruct to smooth tool and pucker tool, bloat tool. So first of all, we will choose our firewall to smooth out that can change that enhancement of body figured The girls. So we have different sizes here, we have different densities here, and pressure here. Just increase the size of the tool a little bit. And it will help you to make body changes. Just increase the size. And then you can add a little curve in the body to make it more like Kim photos. And then you can use a bloat tool to make little body enhancements. And then you can use that tool. Also forward wrap tool to make any body changing or movement in the shoulder or in the hand. Then we have on this side face severe tool there. We can change phase shapes. Her hide, anything related to the face. We can even change the face. After that, we will click Okay. And now we have all our team is in that separately. Or when we are done with these changes, we will merge it with the background. After that, if you want to read this that picture, you can reattach it. But I think we don't need to retrace this picture, so we will keep this class very, very glossy, very straightforward. You can get what you want to learn and you get the idea of how this picture gonad it instead of making this class. So after that, we will go to the filter section where we will do all the editing style. And in the camera raw filter, we have our reference picture here. So first of all, we need to analyze it. We have shadows and highlights very balanced. In this picture we have Sian a very highlighted, and the magenta tone very highlighted. So first of all, we will do the basic retouching. We will increase the shadows a little bit, just a little, and decrease the highlights a little. Just a little. So you can change it anytime. We will load the texture a little bit and increase the clarity. Just a little bit. After that, we will go to our color mixer and we will enhance the red and oranges. And we will lower the yellow. And after that, we will select the Hue section. And we will keep our reds. And two minus 20. And then we will keep our blues into minus 30, minus 41. So we are getting the nearby to one of their team. What do we need to do? A little more enhancements. We need to lower the saturation of purple and magenta little bit. And after that, we will, we can select the calibration. And then we'll do the red primary or little to minus 20, minus 13 and blue primary two minus two. And we will decrease the saturation a little bit. And we will keep these pictures added a frame. So if we're going on our right direction, after that, we need to increase the priority little bit. I think. Now we are nearby. We need to play with that curve's a little bit more. So we will add three points in the curve section to lift some shadows and highlights. Just lift a little bit of shadows and highlights. So we can get the exact details, update their kin style. It's all about experimenting. You need to keep experimenting so you can achieve the results. You want it. So I think we are close by. We just need a little bit of elaboration of the red primary. Keys match dusk and dawn. So just take your time and keep doing them accessory chains. After that, we will go to our basic settings and we need to play with the vibrance just a little bit. And after that, we will go to our mixture. And we need to lower the red a little bit. And here we achieved our dessert. After that, we need to add some greening effect in it. We will go through the facts and some grants that Richard and add some texture to. These are just a little bit. So don't look like you are editing the picture just to keep the effect very vintage and very class. After that, increase the contrast a little bit. So you can have that look. And then just a little color mixer. Grading, we need to add some blues, are some Sian shared in the shadows and some warm orange shade in the highlights. This keep experimenting so that you can achieve your required. We are almost nearby that don't. So we need to just leave the saturation of Blue Primary little bit, just a little bit in the direction of red primary. Around minus to the 18 is fine. After that, you can save it as Kim's beach. And just a little enhancement in the color mix here. For example, for the blue, Yes, These little bit. And then left liberation enhancement in blue. And here we go. We created the resembled look with a skills profile. After dare, you can just click on it and save it as a preset. Create presets for further use. So we'll name it, can be, and it will save it in our presets. And click Okay. So this is how we can achieve that result. Same grainy, same vintage style. So here we will try this effect that we created this pretty set on other pictures. So as experiment if we achieve that same style, so for example, I have some pictures of fun here. I will apply as a vector on it. And we will try to experiment if we reach that same term. So we almost dead effect. There is a little changing due to the different colors of the bodies. So here is the perfect result of our research. We will also, I figured out an accurate picture of the game. So we will directly apply that filter on it. So we can achieve that. We achieved exactly perfect skin tones in our color in our research. 7. Edit Style 3: So now we will explore the third and last effect, which came mostly used in her profile pictures and in her Instagram picture, which is this high, very blue vintage loo effect. So we will try to replicate this vintage blue effect in our Photoshop. So first open this picture to show as a reference. And now we will select the other file from overstock which shows which will be this. And we will try to give this picture that games affect. So let's start. So first of all, keyboard with your Minitab. So you can have main idea and reference. Decrease your size that we need to crop this image a little bit so we can get a better perspective. I think it's perfect. And after that, we're going to go to our camera. We can make some body curves retouching this. You want to just do a very quick read just to keep it to like with alkenes effect. Just to decrease curves and select the blog to just give a quick shape or enhanced body features. And after that, just a little bit of enhancements and then press Okay. So here is before and after, after dad just go to the Filter camera Raw Filter here we will do all the math. But before doing it, we will auto controls. They see maize and auto colors this image and Auto Tone this in it. So we can exactly get the row effect of this. So if there is any editing happened on this picture, it will be automatically until Monday. So we will go to the Camera Raw Filter now. And we need to add a little bit of blues in it in this picture. And we need to lower the saturation. So this is the main part, molar. So first of all, we will increase some shadows, just little decrees, some highlights, a little bit. And after that, we need to lower the vibrance a little bit. And after that, we will go to the and viewpoints in the curve watts so we can be timestamp that will enhance the curves, enhance the shadows and highlights to. And after that, we need to analyze it a little bit. So we'll go to our color mixer and saturation. We will increase the saturation of blues and equals. And after that, we need to load the other saturations and opera that we need to increase the saturation of pathetic little bit and pouring into it also. And after that, we need to see the blues to cause you to lead us to the blue side just a little. And after that, we will go to that calibration section. And we didn't create our blue primary just a little lower. And we will try to copy that effect. We will experiment by increasing the side. To think this is perfect. Yes, we need to lower the saturation of the primary just a little so we can get things like body tone and just lower the midterm. And after that, we will go to the color mixture again and we will increase the saturation of the blue. And we'll play with the luminance and decrease a little bit, just a little, just a little in the airport. And after that, we need to keep playing with the effect, with the color experimenting so we can achieve the exact required reserves that we wanted to. So for example, we need to change the orange hue desk per liter minus 13 and red excuse also. And after that, we will go to our color grading and we will add some red, some blues in the. The shadows and some red, some yellow in the highlights and midtones. And after that, we will go to our color mixture again. We'll go to the saturation section. We will try. And after that, we will go through the basic section of our Camera Raw Filter and try to increase the vibrance, just see if we are retaining their hand. Increase, decrease some whites in the picture, and increase and increase and contrast. Two. After that, we need to add some Beardy in that picture, just a little cylinder. And after that, we will go to the calibration again and lower the saturation just a little lower the saturation just a little all pred primary. Just lifting. So we can get the same body tones like Pimm's. I think minus 52 for that quantity is perfect. And after that, we will go to the effects and add some greens in the picture. So it will start giving, maintain it and add some vegan eating. And after that, we see some difference in the blues. The worst victims have. We will try to correct it. In Dr. Lecture section of that, you will try to add some blues towards the plus four. And here we have. It's also we always can achieve this effect nor the same way, but very close to that picture, the goal according to the environment and according to according to it depends according to the environment we have. And also according to the shoot light and choose saturation. So in the color mixture section, we can click on the color and we can just reattach to exactly blue color. We will increase the saturation just a little 89 per cent and we can decrease your school minute just a little minus 14. And the hue plus 11 plus nine, I think is perfect. And we can also add some play with the reds and oranges because the red and orange, the body colors. So far, No, This is perfect. And after that, we will just click on these three doors and create preset and we will name it, came blue and press. Okay. And here we have this preset, exactly same looking creatures. We can increase its contrast little bit to get them more resembling that. It's all about experimenting in the end. We can also experiment this picture, this effect on other pictures. So we can see if we have the perfect result that we wanted to get. So this is how we can achieve any effect in the, for the show by referencing a picture. So I applied this effect on this picture, typically giving the same effect that Kim's picture have exactly recreated that picture. So here is the final result of our class. 8. How to Import Presets : So now we will explore how we can import research. In the show. We will go to the filter, we will go to the Camera Raw Filter. And then we'll go to a doctor twice. And we will select Load Settings. And then we will select the folder where our filters presets are. Just slip. I'm selecting the orange and tail filter, select Download. And it's typically applied on this picture. So this is how you can apply this preset on the picture. But if you want to keep the research in your default settings, just go to the presets section and important files and presets. And select the preset from the location you saved it. And if it's not working this way, then go back to your application and your finder, and click on Go and press Alt key. And it will show the library here. When you press the Alt key, it will show the Library, click on the library folder and go to the application stored. And then go do that. And then go to the camera roll. Then go to the settings. And here we have all our presets folder. Now, you can copy your preset where you saved it. I saved it here into your preset floss. Just copy this. But he said and save it, paste it in the settings folder, and then refresh your instantly updated in your freezer section. And if it's not coming into the research section, then just restart your Photoshop and it will be imported on your camera. So this is how we can import our presets. In Photoshop. It's a little tricky and difficult, but this is just onetime process. And then it will be always in our camera setup. 9. Final Project & Results: So here is the final result of our class. If you have any question regarding the class, you can ask it in the discussion section of the class.
