That was so fun. And i just love Natalia’s work !
I have a Windows computer. I was going to edit my other review, but it isn’t showing yet. IF you have a Windows computer and didn’t change any of the installation paths, try using this path to locate your LUTs folder. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2019\Presets\3DLUTs
I am really enjoying Natalia’s instructions. I can’t figure out where to put the LUTs on my Windows computer. And no, buying an apple is not an option! 😀 Great job and I am learning a lot!
Thank you! Very creative and inspiring. I appreciate the attention to detail and looking forward to playing with some ideas.
This was such a fun bunch of tutorials to follow along with. Natalia’s abundance of creativity shows through in each composite worked through. Her great sense of humour and clear instructions help to make following along captivating. It was great to see another talented tutor sharing their workflow. Great work Natalia!
Thanks Natalia for some great stuff. Color Splash was great
Thank you Natalia. One more good training section at Phlearn.com!
So happy to see this tutorials!!!….Thank you Nathalie & Aaron!!!….
Thank you sooo much for a fantastic new & different creative approach to Surreal. It’s brand new in my world and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed what I’ve seen of Natalia’s work. My suggestion is simply to give the broad overview of the edits required (assume Intermediate to Advanced Users), rather than labouring under the actual work being done. I like that the structure of the recording allows one to jump to ‘next’ (short lunch breaks, etc.) – but all in all, WELL DONE to the Phlearn Team and Natalia : really appreciate and, totally inspired!
OMG you guys! This was so much fun to watch. Natalia, you are adorbs. Both of you keep up the good work. You can tell that you were her teacher Aaron. Same way you’ve taught all of us. Unparalleled talent, both of you!
I love you guys!!!
thanks Natalia!
I love photo compositing tutorials. Maybe in the future you can bring Erik Johansson in your studio 🙂
