thanks for this tutorial, i think its better to pump up the contrast directly in the raw menu and not to merge the layers, but instead making a smart object out of them.
yeah, in case of potential future modifications and processing, non-destructive methods should always be used if available.
Merge all layers is actually cmd-alt-shift-e on OSX.
awesome tut, thx for posting!
Great tutorial, thanks
Very nice tutorial. Good effect!
I didn’t know how to use gradient maps!
Thanks for the tutorial!
Nice job! I’ll definitely be using some of these techniques.
Nice tut, i really like the effect. Not the greatest pic, though. And for God’s sake man, buy a faster processor!
