Another great set of videos! Thanks for all the insights.
Thanks a lot Thomas! Glad you like them
So glad I found this site, excellent teaching. So helpful the way you walk thorough it. It mind blowing
Thanks a lot mate! I put a lot of effort on learning how to transmit the knowledge. Happy to have you here
When you add the orange/turquoise it’s only on the highlights but not the max light, right? And not over entire highlight?
Exactly. Is a small filter to give tone to that area. max highlights are barely touched so they can still look powerfull with high value. But, as always, experiment. It wouldn’t be wrong if you also add this filter to max HL and watch the result, maybe you obtain a more interesting atmosphere.
Cheers
Perfect, trying analogus color scheme, weathering, want some saturation, interest, ambience to the piece. Before I was trying to mix in the orange and yellow into the colors and it was just muddy. Thanks!
