Can you tell what's the size of the backdrop?
So when you are doing the painting are you using the smudge tool?

awesome job Nikki! i plan on buying a camera for photography and I was wondering between cannon and nikkon which do you prefer and or do you use and if there is a specific model of the 2 that you prefer?
Cheers❤❤❤❤❤
This is what I have been looking for for so long! Great detailed explanation. I also love your voice! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful techniques!
What a fantastic tutorial, thank you! ❤
Nice. Thank you so much
This is pretty but I got lost around 5:30 when she says option key click mask…..? Can someone explain what she did?
naaaaa… your original photo already looks like painting and edited… this is fooling your viewers
You are so creative and artistic. I learned a lot from you. Thank you!
Excellent tutorial from a very talented photographer. This has given me inspiration for my own workflow, thank you so much for posting, have subscribed
loved it so so much!.. I'm at awe when I think how you think of such ways… 🙂 thank you very much..
That was incredible to watch!! Thank you so much!
impressive.
Wow!
Beautiful work.
Really beautiful work Nikki. Definitely an art piece.
Seems that Topaz Studio 2 is now available for free. Although I do not see presets you got.
Nevertheless after few tries I managed to get satisfying effect with this technique … I'm really new to PS.
But it does not work with every portrait, it's better to have the outfit that fits this style 😀
I would love to buy 2 background packs, but I'm not sure what is the resolution (or dimensions) in pixel. I do not own any upscaling software so if they are low res I won't be able to use them. Are they already upscaled?
the best manual painterly effect tutorial i've seen so far.
SUBSCRIBED!!!… and hooked
Exquisite work!
Hi Nikki where is the follow up of this tutorial, thank you
What a great video!! I look forward to running home to try some of these techniques!
Genius. Thank you for sharing! I like how you just attacked that canvas and went straight for the best image possible!
Amazing video. I learnt so much. Thank you.
Hi Nikki, great tutorial, quick question at the end you reduced the background layer but with a stamp visible layer still on the top – I didn't know that was possible -is there something you have to do to make that work?
nice
work
You’re my favorite now thanks for this video
I wonder if you can do this on the phone too? So I can learn there my laptop is not supporting Lightroom it's too old
Oh, my gosh! Your work is superb! I just saw this today – 10-6-2023. I will now watch every tutorial you make.
it's amazing … thank you NIKKI Harrison
This was FABULOUS!!!! Thank you!
Awesome ❤🎉 need more videos like this and colorgrading in camera raw ❤🎉
That was excellent.. thank you,,You addressed specific areas I have always wanted to know.. thank you!
Omg. This was absolutely amazing. I have been looking for this technique for years. You explained it perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
Lovely work 👌
Great video thank you so much for sharing, it is so helpful. If you do not have topaz or any other 3rd party software. Can you still achieve the same effect?
You literally just taught me what i've been searching months for.
The blend-if curves.
I am beside myself right now because I've been SEARCHING the internet and ASKING people how to achieve that d/b effect for ages, and in all sorts of different ways.. and no one has answered me other than "d/b..micro d/b" but THIS! This right here, good grief.. thank you. you just changed my whole game. you're a saint, an angel!
Hi Nikki. Studio 2 is actually unavailable, the link doesn't work. Any alternatives?
That is beautiful! 😍 I'm glad I found your channel. Instant subscribe!
