Have you ever wondered how specific photos just have that “look”? You know, the look that makes you say, “WOW! That Photo is INCREDIBLE! They must have a nice camera!”
Haha, truth be told, it’s never really the camera, is it?
I have found that many images that have that look draw me into specific areas of the photo to grab my attention. This is a DELIBERATE action!
There are many ways to grab the viewer’s attention, but today I will reveal my secrets for building a fabulous glow. I use this technique in nearly every one of my images, and I couldn’t live without it.
Some people call this the “Orton Effect,” but this is not really an Orton Effect because it uses a different process. I prefer to call it a glow or radiance effect. Enjoy and remember to experiment!
For Blake, it's all about the art and process synergy. He dives deep into complex topics and makes them easy to understand through his outside-the-box thinking so that you can use these tricks in your workflow today!
THIS IS THE BOMB
Definitely solid Photoshop tutorials. Clear, concise, not a wasted word.
As usual, well done Blake.
How about an action!!!
I purposefully did not make those an action as I mentioned. I want to empower you to experiment and maybe make your own action 😉
This is really impressive, I have now practiced with dozens of my own pictures following these instructions, and the result has always been just as amazing, Thanks Blake!
This is one of your best tips and tricks videos, Blake! I sometimes get lost in what I call “the math” on some of your videos, but this one came through loud and clear. Love all the alternatives I have never considered, even though I use Orton on most of my work. Bravo!
Just wow Blake! I’ve no words! I just love your tutorials!
Wow, just wow! I love this tutorial! Will be experimenting with my images with this!
Great tutorial and very useful, as always
Fantabulous tutorial Blake, and perfectly timed for me, thank you. After watching the video (and taking notes) I was able to change a tricky image from meh to wow. Take a bow, mate.
Another amazing skill set that you have equipped me with .. thank you so much Blake, this is amazing .
Crazy fun, thanks a bunch Blake, going to go have some fun
