Noel Carboni Aug 2, 2011 7:24 AM (in response to barpos)Haven't used YouTube (or computers) much, then, I take it?
Did you try clicking the little resolution number (360p) in the lower-right, choosing 720p, then going full screen? There's well more than enough detail to see the brush size number. You will, of course, need at least reasonable internet connection bandwidth to watch videos, HD or not.
The tutorial is clearly intended to be in Spanish, targeting Spanish-speaking people - the interface in Photoshop is Spanish and her narration is in Spanish. Are you asking whether this same person does tutorials in English? How is that a Photoshop question? Why haven't YOU done any YouTube or Google searches for Jovany Camara?
Regarding the tuturial going too fast... You do realize you have control over the Pause button, and can move the progress thumb on the scrub bar back so you can watch some parts again, right?

Yes, I have bumped into YouTube quite a few times. Computers for over 20 years as a profession.
Wow, I could have sworn it was in Italian. Nonetheless, I do make up a few words here and there, somewhat similar to my native language, French.

Yes, I do. But is this forum about how to use YouTube? <g>

Not really, but I was just trying to understand your point of view and answer your questions, which weren't about Photoshop.I found myself wondering just what kinds of comments you are looking for... I could only assume that you're either naive or something worse, and I gave you the benefit of the doubt. Please tell us you aren't looking for folks to join you in criticizing the use of a language other than English in a tutorial found somewhere on the web!
You have to admit, questioning the basic assumptions behind a tutorial made by an expert in another part of the world for an audience that speaks another language and published on a different web site does seem a bit odd. Perhaps I'm just missing some key point of context here - is the tutorial linked from an English page on the Adobe web site somewhere? Was it somehow forced on you? If not, frankly I'm having trouble seeing why you would make editorial comments about it. Perhaps I misinterpreted your comment about "speak English" entirely. If so, I'm sorry.
If you mean to ask how to create the effects Jovany is showing, then perhaps you might want to ask more specific questions, like "How do I make a radial gradient like the blue spot shown in this video" or "How can I make transparent glassy text with highlights"... For THOSE things the experts here will be happy to help.

5. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 2, 2011 8:53 AM (in response to MTSTUNER)Ok, by soft brush, you mean one with gradual edges? Also, I don't understand why use size 2000, that size exceeds my screen and clicking on my new layer doesn't do any thing. Anyhow, I'll check the tutorial again to try to understand.

6. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 2, 2011 9:41 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Sorry Noël, but I don't know why are you making such a big deal about me asking if the woman can speak English (has produced English tutorials or someone else's done that same tutorial in English) so I can understand better? I don't know how I bumped into her in the first place since my google search was done in English. Her tutorials seem absolutely amazing considering the results. But, it annoys me when I don't understand fully, the reason for being her. I did try to contact here via YouTube, but failed.

7. Re: Tutorial too fast
MTSTUNER Aug 2, 2011 12:18 PM (in response to barpos)Here's the basic steps as describe in the video up to using the zigzag filter.
1. Make a new document 17 inches x 11 inches 200 resolution rgb mode
background white.
2. Fill the background with blue 002C59
3. Change the foreground color to 3BC1F9 for the brush color (sorta an aqua blue)
4. Make a new layer and use a soft round brush set to 0 hardness 2000 px
(pick any soft round brush from the default brushes like the 300 px soft round brush
and change the size)
(looks like they have the cursor preferences set to Normal Brush Tip, so if yours
are set to show the fullsize brush tip then the brush will seem to big for the document)
5. Click in the center of the document just once with the brush.

8. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 2, 2011 12:31 PM (in response to MTSTUNER)Ok, I did fully understand steps 1~3, fondo and frontal colores.
My problem stems from step 4.
My Photoshop preference is already set to Normal and Standard (left & right options) Brushes. When I click in the middle of my document, I get a black (foreground color) film covering the entire document area.
BTW, I don't get any tip texts (text showing up upon hover the mouse cursor over a photoshop button). Why?

Ron

10. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 3, 2011 4:20 AM (in response to MTSTUNER)Looking back at the video, she sets the foreground color twice, once for the fill (002C59) and once (3BC1F9) for the rest. She does not set a background (fondo) color.
You set the foreground color to 3BC1F9 before using the brush? YES
Do you have Show Tool Tips checked under Preferences>Interface? YES

14. Re: Tutorial too fast
Noel Carboni Aug 5, 2011 5:58 AM (in response to barpos)Colors with the same value looking different likely indicates a difference in color profiles. What color space are you working in?

18. Re: Tutorial too fast
Noel Carboni Aug 5, 2011 10:16 AM (in response to barpos)That's the most common/likely color space. It's possible Jovany is using another one, such as Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB.
If the color is different than what you want, rather than choosing the color by number, just pick a color you like in the color picker.

19. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 5, 2011 10:32 AM (in response to Noel Carboni)Well, putting the two windows side-by-site, I'm able to compare her color pick and mine, and they both look the same. So, something else seems to come into play.

20. Re: Tutorial too fast
Noel Carboni Aug 5, 2011 10:57 AM (in response to barpos)Yes, but if she picks a color in the Adobe RGB 1998 color space (which may be her working default) and you use the same numbers in the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 color space, then the colors will look different. This is basic color management.

23. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 5, 2011 12:03 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)Hmmm, I don't have a French dictionary. I know [old] French by heart (my native language).
Apology accepted! Actually, I live in a bilingual town/country. It's upsetting to see literature/websites (including our own government) in French only, just as it is upsetting for unilingual French speakers to see English only text. IMO, everything should be bilingual (by law) so as to not leave out anyone.

24. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 5, 2011 7:43 PM (in response to Noel Carboni)Come to think of it, she doesn't speak English! So, how can I change the color space so I could try to match her setup? After all, all of her tutorials are useless unless I find out what she uses, right? Nothing is going to look good otherwise.
Ok, I just went into the Edit->Color Settings ... dialog box and tried all of the available RGB work spaces, but I couldn't see any difference at all when applying the brush.
What am I doing wrong?

Ron

25. Re: Tutorial too fast
MTSTUNER Aug 5, 2011 9:52 PM (in response to barpos)It might just be that the screen recording software the person is using changes the colors
and also most of those videos are somewhat compressed for smaller sizes.

26. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 5, 2011 10:06 PM (in response to MTSTUNER)Hmmm, I doubt it. The result the tutorial shows is MUCH better than what I get. My wavy light blue background appears more like dark blue. Actually, it could be that she is using a totally different brush than I am. Hard to say what she uses, she doesn't say.

27. Re: Tutorial too fast
MTSTUNER Aug 5, 2011 10:58 PM (in response to barpos)Another possibilty besides having to do with color profiles, is either
your brush is not set to 100 % opacity or the layer opacity is not
100 %.
(also check to make sure none of the brush dynamics are checked in the brushes panel)

28. Re: Tutorial too fast
barpos Aug 6, 2011 9:59 AM (in response to MTSTUNER)I think I found it. <s> The flow rate was at 50% instead of 100%. Go figure!
You were very close to the solution and that's what helped me find it.
Thanks a lot for your time and effort ...

Ron
