    In this more "stream of consciousness" style video (that sounds lame, I know), we dive into a study of plane-separation by way of texture, light, haze, atmospheric blur, and varying degrees of flattening contrasts. From start to finish, this tutorial is long and might be a bit of a rollercoaster ride while trying to balance our directions for the end result.

    Topics covered:

    Exposure length blending
    The origin of my Light Bleed technique
    Plane separation
    Atmospheric blur
    Staggered contrasts
    Various way to take advantage of ACR Local Adjustments
    Desaturation for eye-control
    Light Contouring
    Enhancing color luminance
    And much, much more


    Run time: 2h 30m
    Includes custom Photoshop actions

    Check the password (safest: copy it), there's a period before the club, just like in the adress. I just dwnl'd and unzipped the pack, works fine with the pass p-v.club

    Try a different unzipper software, sometimes weird things happen depending on the software you use
