Description Use the Gear symbol underneath the video to get the high res 720p version & don't forget to turn on your speakers!

Since sometimes it is very hard to describe what I do in written form, I decided to create a Video Tutorial for Advanced Lighting. Excuse some issues with noise / my voice being sometimes a little louder or more quiet - I'm still trying to get the hang of this

 What you will & won't learn in this video:
I'm going to show you how I did the lighting for Beneath the Tulips - keep in mind that while most of my steps are often similar no matter what image I'm using, not everything is applicable in other lighting situations. This is an advanced tutorial, so I will not be fussing over every button I press. There are some captions on the right side to help you with the main points, but other than that I will just assume you know your way around Photoshop and if you hear or see something unfamiliar know how to search for it -- if you really can't find anything, feel free to ask, of course! Finally, I just hope you're going to get something out of this and will leave a comment to let me know what you think

Overview: Photoshop / Photomanipulation TutorialsThis is an overview of the Photomanipulation / Photoshop Tutorials available in my Gallery. Some are a little old (still using PS7), but the principles are still valid (even though some of the really old ones may seem outdated aesthetically). Generally, the further down in each list, the newer the tutorials. Tutorials with this symbol   are video tutorials.
At the bottom, you will also find a list of possible future tutorials, a collection of ideas. If you have something I could add to this list, do feel free to comment and let me know!

Excellent tutorial! 

I don't know much about Photoshop, just the basic ones (as I really don't watch or look for tutorials LOL)...first time I watched a tutorial, I got curious cause I didn't know there are video tutorials now here in DA haha!

I learned a lot from this, the curves and the gradient thing etc

thank you

great to hear it helps / gives ideas!

the mary-vid was done using different software - just taking screenshots every x seconds and I think I didn't quite get those seconds right I found they need adjusting depending on what you do.

Thank you Jasmin this is great ! I do not use gradients, and I like how you are using them(on sky) I'll try it on my next manip ,I use selective colors adjusment layer for most color  correction (You can achieve a lot by tweaking black,wihte and neutrals) .... great video tut full of very usable tips

I love selective colours, too if only used for blacks whites and neutrals it is similar to colour balance, but it still gives different results, especially cos you can adjust the brightness of each tonal range as well.
