You've done it again…this process is more involved than the one I currently use, but the results are dramatic. Back into my catalog and rework some photos. Thanks for all your hard work in putting these tutorials together.

Please always and alltime mention which version of Photoshop used by you in video

As a chiaroscuro painting addict, this is an insane and easy way to do it. Thanx so much, mate !
You're really good at making tutorials.
Thanks!
