Save time
Simplify for me during the process in post-production is super important to me. I will write a little about using brushes in this post.
And it's defiantly Pros n Cons about brushes.
Some are not willing to use it; some are big fans of it.
I would say I'm in between—brushes for unrealistic effects or results that is a big no.
When Brushes simplify your work, big yes.
During the time of being a professional photographer and retoucher - I have seen what can be more optimized to save time during post-production.
Brushes are definitely one of these.
We are creators, but in some cases, doing movements repeatedly can feel pretty dull.
I had a process when I brushed in hair fly-aways strokes on my masked out people. In some cases, it's just too messy, then I have to remove and paint in again. And do that over and over again…
To avoid that and make it a little more smooth, I started to develop a hair stroke brush. That saves me time for sure.
I do visuals for architects from time to time. And figure out how to do grass edges appropriately every time was time-consuming. That took much energy until I did a brush that simulates grass. And it works very well.
What masking and its edges are about is to brush in the information we can fill with accurate information.
In that way, we can get almost realistic results in no time.
And that is how I like it.
We are always hunting that clicking clock, and we are getting paid by time.
I dropped a new product which is a pack of handy brushes I have made.
For that, I mentioned above, the retouching workflow.
It covers more than the Masking brushes; there are also Details and atmosphere brushes, which I think you would like.
