Artisan Pro X 2022 UXP Webinar Pt. 2: New Method for Creating Depth

Part 2 of the recording of the 3-hr webinar, held on Sunday, May 22, 2022, on the UXP version of Artisan Pro X 2022 is this 1-hr recording of the session after the break and is about a new method to create depth in amorphous and/or more complicated objects and planes with a very high degree of accuracy and control. 

The method demonstrates how to utilize luminosity masks as a start and endpoint for a gradual dark-light-dark transition that can be used together or complemented with the traditional method of creating depth via gradients. 

Also useful for CEP (Legacy) users of the Artisan Pro panel

This video is also useful for non-UXP (older CEP Legacy) users of the Artisan panel as it uses existing features. 

As I showed photos in the last part of this video that are part of a commissioned project and haven’t been officially published yet, I removed that part of the video as a courtesy to my client. A small and I believe non-essential part of the live demonstration will therefore not be available in the recording.  

Artisan Pro X 2022 Webinar - Four Fine Art Images in 60 Minutes

The recording of the 1.5 hr webinar, held on Sunday, November 21, 2021, on the new updates in PS CC 2022 in relation to the updates in the B&W Artisan Pro X 2022 panel. With timestamps (open video on YouTube for the time-stamps)

Four images in 60 minutes (more or less)

The recording gives a brief overview of the most important PS CC 2022 changes in relation to the Artisan Pro X 2022 update by creating 4 images in both color and B&W in fine art style, varying from street portraiture to trees/landscapes to still life, without any selections in 60 minutes (not counting the introduction and Q&As). Just skip the intro with updates/overview to go straight to the demos

Why it is important

Recently, Adobe released the PS CC 2022 update introducing automatic object masking features that benefit the typical features of the Artisan Pro X panel profoundly and positively in such a way that the process of post-processing high-quality fine art images not only becomes faster but also more accurate and intuitive with a minimal amount of Photoshop knowledge.  Especially in those cases where natural objects are involved. Think landscapes, portraiture, and still life. But also architectural images.
