Youtube daily report Apr 9 2017

Hi. This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

I'm going to show you how to create the look of beautiful, ink smudge portraits and how

to subtly modify their colors and contrast.

I provided a Photoshop PSD document that includes these 2 ink smudge textures.

They were created by the digital artist, Jukka Korhonen of Finland.

The PSD textures document is located in my video's description or project files below.

Open a photo of someone you'd like to use for this project.

I downloaded this one from Shutterstock.

The first step is to crop your image around the face and hair.

Open your Crop Tool.

To ensure that the filters we'll be adding will give similar as mine, type in 1080 pixels

per inch for its width and height..

For its Resolution, type in 150 pixels per inch.

Go to a corner of the crop bounding box.

Drag a corner in to approximate the size of the face and hair.

Continue to size and position the bounding box until you like the cropping.

Go to the top and uncheck, "Delete Cropped Pixels".

This will ensure that the areas of your photo outside the crop bounding box won't be permanently

deleted . To accept it, click the check-mark.

To fit your image back onto your canvas, press Ctrl or Cmd + 0.

Next, we convert your image into a Smart Object, so we can modify it non-destructively.

To do this, click the icon at the upper, right corner of the Layers panel and click "Convert

to Smart Object".

The first filter we'll apply will brighten the details within the shadows.

Go to Image, Adjustments and "Shadows/Highlights".

For this particular image, I'll leave the Shadows at its default amount of 35%, however,

feel free to adjust this amount.

Then, click OK or press Enter or Return.

Remember, since your image is a Smart Object, you can always adjust the Smart Filters at any time.

Go to Filter and Filter Gallery.

To see more of your image, right-click and click a smaller percentage.

Open the Artistic folder and click "Dry Brush".

I'll make its Size: 4, the Brush Detail: 10 and the Texture: 1.

Go back to Filter, Blur and Smart Blur.

I'll make the Radius: 15, the Threshold: 22 and the Quality: High.

Convert your filtered image into a Smart Object.

Create a new layer below the active layer by Ctrl-clicking or Cmd-clicking the New Layer icon.

We'll fill the empty layer with white, but first, if your foreground and background colors

aren't black and white respectively, press "D" on your keyboard.

Since white is your background color, press Ctrl or Cmd + Delete.

Open the smudge texture file I provided.

Click your Move Tool and Shift-click on the other texture to make it active, as well.

Drag the textures onto the tab of your portrait.

Without releasing your mouse or pen, drag it down onto the portrait and release.

Change the Blend Mode of the textures to "Multiply".

We'll place the them into a folder by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + G.

Open the folder and make the top layer active.

Press Ctrl or Cmd + A to select the entire portrait and Ctrl or Cmd + C to copy it.

Make the folder active and click the Layer mask icon to make a layer mask next to the folder.

Alt-click or Option-click the layer mask, which should make the image on your canvas white.

Press Ctrl or Cmd + V to paste your portrait onto the layer mask.

To deselect it, press Ctrl or Cmd + D.

We'll invert the layer mask by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + I. Click the eyeball icon next to

the top layer to make all the layers visible again and click it once more to temporarily

hide the top layer.

Scroll down until you see the bottom texture and click it to make it active.

Drag it to reposition it.

Make a copy of this texture layer by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + J. Then, reposition it.

If you'd like to adjust the size and /or the angle of any of the textures, make sure that

particular texture layer is active and open your Transform Tool.

To see the Transform's entire bounding box, press Ctrl or Cmd + 0.

Go to a corner.

When you see a curved, double-arrow, rotate it to an angle you like and then drag it over

the face until you like its position.

To accept it, press Enter or Return.

If you want, make more copies of the textures and resize, angle and position them, as well.

Next, we'll adjust the brightness and contrast of our portrait.

Make the layer mask active and open your Levels window by pressing Ctrl or Cmd + L.

Drag the Input white to the left and the Input black to the right until your portrait's contrast

looks good to you.

Then, click OK.

Next, we'll reveal back the original color as a texture.

Close the folder and make the top layer visible and active.

Go to the Layer mask icon and Alt-click or Option-click it.

This creates a black layer mask next to the active layer.

We'll ultimately brush in white over the layer mask to reveal the layer next to it.

Open your Brush Tool and Brush Picker.

Click the gear icon and click, "Wet Media Brushes".

When you see this message, click OK to replace your current brushes with the Wet Media brushes.

Click the gear icon again and this time, click, "Large Thumbnail".

Go to the bottom, right corner of the Brush Picker panel and drag it down until you see

all the brush tip shapes.

I'll click this one, but feel free to experiment with the other brushes.

Once you pick your brush, press Enter or Return.

Make sure the Opacity and Flow are both 100%.

Invert your foreground and background colors by pressing "x" on your keyboard.

Now, white is your foreground color.

Reduce the opacity to 60%.

I'll Change the Blend Mode to "Linear Burn", however, I encourage you to experiment with

the other Blend modes, as well, since they'll give your image a wide variety of looks.

To adjust your brush's size, make sure your CapsLock key is not on and press the right

or left bracket key on your keyboard.

Brush over areas of the face to reveal color.

This is Marty from Blue Lightning TV.

Pokhara City Guide | Nepal Travel Video - Duration: 16:56.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Mornin'!

Okay, luckily we're not quitting our day jobs to become singers so let's get that out of

the way.

Haha.

Alright, so guys we are in Pokhara (पोखरा) and basically this video is going to be not

chronological.

Un-chronological.

Yeah.

Non-chronological.

Non-chronological order.

Today is our last day in town and it is our first day of sightseeing.

So we've basically been hanging out, shopping, eating really well.

Catching up on work.

We haven't done anything.

No but you know what?

We have waited until the last day but this is the first day of really good weather.

Yes.

We've had a lot of haze, a lot of cloud cover.

It has been super foggy as well.

Yeah.

But today it is just unbelievable.

Blue skies.

Blue skies.

We're seeing like snow capped mountains that we hadn't seen before.

And today we're going to go out by boat and we're also going to do a little bit of hiking

so we can't wait to show you around.

So we're by the lake.

Yes, we are.

There is the lake.

We're going to hire a boat next and then we're climbing to the World Peace Pagoda (Pokhara

Shanti Stupa).

And yeah, let's get started.

Kisses.

Are you giving morning kisses?

Morning kisses.

Morning kisses.

Morning kisses.

Hiring a boat is easy.

When you go down to the waterfront you'll find a large board with all the rates listed.

You can either hire your own boat to row, pay to be rowed to the temple in the middle

of the lake, or pay to be dropped off at the start of the hiking trail that leads to the

World Peace Pagoda (Pokhara Shanti Stupa).

So here is our boat.

We've upgraded.

We paid eight more dollars and that gives us.

Sam was afraid he was going to burn in the sunshine.

Yeah, this is for me the ginger who freckles a lot.

We got an upgrade of a roof and we got mats.

This has been such a peaceful ride that I'm actually feeling a little bit sleepy.

I feel like I could just curl up on the boat on the carpet and take a nap.

But then I'd miss out on the views.

And that would probably look a little bit rude to our boatman.

Just sleeping during the outing.

Sam is filming baby cows.

Baby cows.

Baby cows.

There have been some great opportunities to film this morning.

We've had some really good light.

I know.

Oh my gosh we definitely picked the right day to come out.

Well, we are coming to the end.

Our very lovely outing.

Yeah, that was a great outing and the weather changed completely.

It got really hazy again and foggy.

So it is like a completely different experience for half of the trip.

The first half versus the second half.

And now we're preparing to go hiking.

So yeah.

Yeah.

After our boat tour of the lake, we decided to go hiking so we got dropped off at the

start of the trail.

There's a small shop on that side of the lake, so you if you need to pick up some water

or a few snacks, this is a good place to do so.

So we are now hiking to the World Peace Pagoda.

And it is meant to be forty-five minutes to the top.

It might take a little bit longer because I'm doing this in Sam's crocs.

My running shoes got left behind.

You don't even have running shoes.

Somewhere along the way.

You wear my running shoes now.

Sam ruined them.

And my crocs.

They were left behind.

Anyway, Sam and I have been finding that we're really out of breath in Pokhara (पोखरा)

for some reason.

We're just out of shape in general.

We are usually panting after climbing two sets of stairs at our hotel and well climbing

two sets of stairs probably takes like 30 seconds and this is a 45 minute hike.

So woah.

You're already out of breath.

I have a feeling it is going to be a struggle.

Status update?

Status update.

The hike is getting really steep.

Out of breathe.

Almost out of water.

Out of shape.

Womp womp.

But in terms of the difficulty this is not a difficult path.

No.

It is just the altitude, the fact we're out of shape and we got quite a bit of sun.

Now it is shaded so that is nice.

We're starting to cool down a little bit.

Onwards.

This is how we feel.

Yeah, it was a bit of a sweat fest and it was definitely good exercise.

Not a difficult path but now that we're here let's actually check out the Peace Pagoda.

Well 'hey hey' Aladdin.

That was pretty fun.

I have to say you missed out by not going up there.

Hey 'shhh' don't tell people.

It is true.

You didn't do it.

Shoelaces are undone.

We have visited the Stupa and now the grand plan is food.

Food and I'm going to have tea right behind us.

So we found a rooftop cafe with a great view of the lake and Pokhara (पोखरा)

below.

And how did we choose this place?

What question were you asking?

What do you mean?

Sam was going to the restaurants.

Do you have the best view?

Do you have the best view?

And of course everyone is like yeah.

I didn't mean it like that.

I meant like where is the best view within your restaurant.

I didn't mean it like do you have the best view of all of the restaurants.

Everyone is going to be like of course we have the best view.

Come eat over here.

Anyways, we settled on a place and I ordered a Nepali Thali set and Sam is having tea.

Yep.

So yeah.

Well good afternoon from Pokhara (पोखरा).

Today we are going shopping.

Shopping.

Yeah.

And the secret is we've actually already gone shopping.

We bought some cool stuff.

Last night.

Last night and now we're going to talk a bit more about what we're going to do in terms

of shopping but first don't you need to check out my pants.

I'm wearing something new.

Look at this.

Hippie pants.

Can you see that.

That is a purchase from last night.

Yeah, and Audrey got a pair too but she is not wearing them now.

I don't know why but I'm rocking the new hippy pants.

Okay, let's see what else we can find.

I still want to pick up a few more souvenirs.

So Sam found a shirt he loves?

We're going to design it though.

Change the color.

It is hilarious.

It is totally politically incorrect but sometimes it is fun to have some.

You don't always need a plan.

Sometimes you just need balls and a beard.

Do you have a beard?

I do have a beard.

That is the question.

Hahaha.

I think I'm two for two.

Alright, good stuff.

So while we've been in Pokhara (पोखरा) we've mainly been hanging out in Lakeside

which is the area along the lake.

Like the name suggests.

And there are so many shops here.

If you want to pick up souvenirs or clothes or locally made arts and crafts.

Yeah, restaurants, cafes.

Also you can arrange a lot of adventure travel from here.

Yes.

So if you're into paragliding or what else can you do?

There is tonnes of stuff.

Oh man.

There is hiking.

You can do micro-flights.

A helicopter tour.

There is helicopter tours.

There is I think even like horse and pony riding.

So any kind of adventure stuff.

Oh this is also where you would arrange like for a trip to do the Annapurna Circuit (अन्नपूर्ण).

The big hike trek.

Yes.

If you do the whole circuit it takes about two weeks.

14 days.

Yeah, but I mean we're mainly here to relax so we've just been hanging out, eating well,

enjoying a quiet setting.

Although it is not so quiet right now.

You probably here a lot of honking going on.

Um but yeah and today we're shopping so let's go.

Who is this Audrey?

This is my pup friend.

I met him like four days ago.

So every time we walk past here we have a little pet.

Isn't that right?

Yes, it is.

You're the most chill pup we've met in a while.

You just hang out, you like stokies, you like attention.

Yes.

If you see us you'll come walking over.

Yes.

Yes, to all of the above.

Yes.

So as we've already mentioned we did quite a bit of shopping while we were in town.

So we just wanted to show you guys what we got so you have an idea of what you can buy

in Pokhara (पोखरा).

And maybe I did most of the shopping not Sam.

Um, we did a lot of shopping.

Since we're going to India next I got some clothes.

I need something light and breezy so linen shirt.

Wooden blue.

That is a nice one.

I like that one.

I really like this one?

Oh you do?

That one was like six bucks.

Mmmhmmm.

This one was ten.

But it is longer.

Alright, I forgot that you got two of them.

Wow.

So yeah.

That will come in handy.

Yep.

Let's see.

What else did.

Oooh, I got hippie pants because when in Nepal (नेपाल).

Yeah.

Tada.

That is something we both got.

We both got hippy pants.

Actually you know what is funny?

When we were at the store Sam is like showing my this pair.

He's like what do you think of these hippie pants?

And I'm like Sam that is a skirt.

You should have noticed he was looking at a skirt.

Which is ridiculous but so Sam.

Yeah.

We got this.

I think this would be cool like on a coffee table or something.

You can set like a teapot or a coffee pot or anything warm.

Or like even on the dining table.

Yep.

For the future home because we don't actually for the future home that we don't have yet.

Okay, I got some toys.

I got stuffed animals.

Hahaha.

Oh my.

I got an elephant.

That is cute.

I love its eyes.

That is the best part.

Sam picked out the color.

Yep.

I was like what there was a whole bunch of them and you're like pick one.

I'm like definitely that one.

I got a bunny.

Yeah.

Just because it is cute.

Yes.

It is cute.

Are they going to be friends?

Yes.

Or will they be mortal enemies?

Friends.

Friends?

Instant friends!

That is good to know.

Sam got hippie pants.

Tada.

This is not the skirt.

These are the actual pants.

Yes, this is the real deal.

Yeah.

They almost don't fit me.

They look fabulous.

They kind of go down to my not quite to the bottom of my ankles but.

Yeah, the guy who was selling them.

He just like rolled them up for Sam and he's like here you can wear them kind of like fisherman's

trousers.

Thanks guy.

Anything else?

One more thing.

This one is Sam's as well.

Oh right I like this one too.

This one says Nepal (नेपाल) and then it has the flags so.

That is really cool.

I don't have a lot of long-sleeve shirts at the moment because yeah we've been traveling

in really warm places.

I may borrow this as a pajama.

No, I don't think you will.

I think I'll actually wear this one myself.

Anyways, so yeah that is all we got.

Shopping in Nepal (नेपाल).

When we weren't out sightseeing, which was most of the time, we were restaurant hopping

and enjoying the food.

The following is the best meal that we had in Pokhara (पोखरा).

The food is here and it looks amazing.

Check it out.

I'm having something called Chhwelā (छ्वेला).

And this is fish from the local lake.

It is marinated in secret spices.

That is what it says in the menu.

They won't even tell you what is in it.

I love that.

And it is barbecue.

That is the best.

In the tandoor oven according to the menu so I didn't even see this being prepared.

Secret spices.

But it looks so good.

If you look at that pieces of fish like they're so plump and oh my gosh this just looks fresh.

Do some more dissections for us.

More dissections.

Here we are in the science lab.

Yes.

I am dissecting the fish.

Exactly.

Anyways, I'm going to try some of this already.

It looks so good.

Wow.

Man, it looks like there is some tomatoes in there and maybe cilantro.

Mmmm.

Is it good?

Yeah?

That is really good.

I chose well.

The fish it is so soft.

It melts in your mouth.

I just had some kind of insect bite my elbow.

Oh my gosh.

If there is a little shaky that is why.

Sam's being attacked.

Bad camera man.

The mosquitos want the fish.

Hahaha.

This is so nice.

That is cilantro.

Little chunks of tomato.

Let me zoom in on that.

It looks like a little bit of a yellow curry.

Oh wow.

Man, you can see that so well now.

It is good.

So the one that I ordered was a Pokhara style curry.

And it comes with fish and we had the choice between chicken and pork I believe.

And let's stir that around a bit.

Oh la lah.

So you can see there is nice big chunks of fish over here too.

It looks really good.

It looks like the same fish they used for mine.

Yeah.

I'm sure it is.

So it also comes with brown rice.

Which is nice.

We had the choice between brown rice and white rice so we're making the adult decision to

get the healthier brown rice.

The healthier version.

I think brown rice is tastier anyway.

I agree with you on that.

So I'm just going to have a bite and then I'm going to go for a bite of rice.

So let's see what dish comes out on top?

You know what?

They said that this was a must try dish on their menu.

Yeah.

And I totally agree.

Like that curry is just so good, so rich.

It is like a thick flavorful curry.

And then because the fish has obviously been marinated and cooking

in there for a long time it is even I think it is even more tender than the fish from

your dish.

Wow.

The fish from your dish.

That kind of rhymes a bit.

That could be a rap.

The fish from your dish.

Yeah, that is my bad attempt at rapping.

But uh yeah it is so good I'm going to have another bite with the rice.

So don't mind my thumb here.

You do have a knife.

I do.

And a fork and a spoon.

To make it work.

It is more fun to eat with your hands whenever you can.

Yeah that rice really compliments it well.

It helps sop up a bit of the gravy.

We also enjoyed hanging out in the lakefront bars.

Happy hour may have been the draw for most people but I was here to drink tea and play

with the resident pets.

I made a friend.

I made a friend.

Oh you're sleepy.

You are so sleepy.

I'm getting sleepy too pup.

I just had a big meal and I'm going to have a glass of wine and I'm going to enjoy this

fire that we are right beside.

Hello kitty.

Audrey you're the animal whisperer today.

Who do you have now?

Oh, I forget her name.

I forget her name too but it is a sweet little kitty.

Her name is cry baby.

That is what I remember.

Cry baby.

Is she getting all snuggly.

Is she getting all snuggly with you by the fire.

Yes.

She's cute.

Tonight we're along the lakeside because they have a lot of little like cafes and bars where

we can come and enjoy the views.

Yeah.

Have a drink.

It is great for nightlife in Nepal (नेपाल).

It is just awesome.

It is really nice.

And yesterday we visited a place called I think Purple Planet.

Yep.

Today we were at the Bamboo Hut.

Bamboo Hut.

Bamboo bar.

Right.

And I befriended a cat and a dog.

I know.

.So sweet.

Best.

Especially that cat.

That cat fell asleep on you.

I know.

I don't think it would have left had you not you know.

Had we not left.

Anyways, we're going to now try to find a place that has some live music.

Apparently around this time of night between around seven and eight they start playing

live music.

I hear it off in the distance.

So let's go check it out.

Let's follow our ears.

So that's a wrap for our time in Pokhara (पोखरा).

Most travellers who come all the way out here generally do so to hike the Annapurna Circuit,

but we had neither the gear nor the desire to undertake a lengthy trek.

Fortunately for us, Pokhara (पोखरा) proved to be the perfect place to unwind after

a few months of busy travel, and we still got to enjoy views of the Annapurna Mountain

Range (अन्नपूर्ण).
