In modes you have one important mode that is the complex sport.
It contains overlays soft light and light and the others in this lecture we are going to focus on this
complex category.
How does it work.
The complex category will work on the grade levels of the underlying layer for less than 50 percent.
So if your underlying layer does not have any glee it will not do anything and actually it will work
on the moutons.
Let's see what moutons.
If you come to the tone here this is an effect.
It can demonstrate you put it on the image it self image or video.
It's really all of the same.
You know that's how the color has changed.
Now what color has changed.
It's only the tones that have changed.
If you click and try to change the tones.
For example we go back to black.
Here you go high and low.
You notice these are the moutons that are changing.
You know just which one they are.
Another is that the shallows or the very dark black here are not changing at all and you notice that
the highlights if you have any are not also changing at all fat.
Now what is mid-tone.
If I stay in the middle here then I am in the meat tones and it doesn't matter what color I'm using.
This is a very simplistic you know expression because this is not a graphic design course.
So if I come over here you know this nothing is happening.
Are still the same I'll go down a bit and try to match the origin.
OK.
And let's see if we match the original.
Not bad.
We are at like 95 percent.
So if I use overly overly is going to work on these moutons if they are normally tones in your underlying
image or video or underlying layer in fact then overlay will not work or will give you final results
not what you expect but there's this effect.
We don't need it and let's put on the two shape players that are put here.
So we have to shape players.
One of them is on is one of them is green as you can see.
I will apply to shape player 1 the overlay here and that is what's happening the color of the source
layer has replaced the mid-tone of the underlying layers or the doors of the underlying layer had been
replaced with the color of the top layer.
If I take the top layer and make it the underlying layer and I put overlay now on the source layer as
you want to see it now it's the top layer is the source there.
You notice that it has changed.
So it actually uses the mid terms of the shape player one now not the mid terms of the image that we
have put here and it seems in the sheer pleasure to meet those levels are higher than our image and
put them back and put back this way on to.
Norman stick it up your goal.
I will do the same for the green and I will take it and make it you know overly.
Now we have changed the color in others.
This is extremely useful.
Let's rotate them just for curiosity and let's put the other layer to mid-on and here you are the same
effect is happening here.
Let's get it back.
We put this one to normal and we have our motto.
Now this is very interesting because if you take any picture for example let's take this bagong.
Yes that's great.
And you come up with this background.
And if you want we can now add a solid layer layer new solid and make it blue for example.
And here I come and say overly.
And then I have changed it now blue and overlayed doesn't Wadleigh stitches this one he said let's go
to.
Right.
OK.
So actually I changed the picture tokens using the Mitsos and using overlay.
So this is quite nice and quite practical to change the terms of the picture.
Let's take this example now.
This is very complex to please open it.
Now we have here.
See that's the video.
And under it we have a player that has a certain card.
This is of course it's solidly.
If for the video player the top player I change the mod to overlay it has taken all the tones of the
underlying layer and apply them to the source layer.
Of course if you come to this there's a layer solide setting and change the colors here.
Let's take them to yellow you'll notice what's happening.
So I need mittens.
Let's go back here and see what's happening here.
You notice I want to show you here.
If I go down I am you know darkening the tones.
And here I am highlighting too much.
There is normal gray here.
So I'll take it to the middle.
Come here and this is the appearance that you want to have.
Of course you don't go you're going and using other colors will be also you know quite nice if you are
this for example is not coming up in nice with me but for the course you and this are what I mean.
Now if I take this plan and put it above the whole thing is going to change.
And this one is pretty normal.
Nothing is happening.
Only a few things have changed because the underlying layer which the video does not have any gray less
than 50 percent or any mittens.
So it is not working very well.
Let me give you another example.
Now let's put this off and put this one on the plate.
This is an escalator but the camera has been put on the floor.
It's very interesting it's very nice in fact.
Now what I want to do is to create a shape I will take the pen tool.
Come over here.
I'm going to take the floor under just like this simple
so I'm creating a shape and that chip is just under here.
That's adjusted a bit.
Click the selection tool take this one down.
Now I'm going to put the ship above the escalators arm this to show them off OK.
Now we can see it now we put the overlay and not just the whole color has changed.
Let's change the color of the feel here to something pretty interesting something dangerous as to make
it dangerous.
More app that will be fine.
But that would do cool.
So now I have the portion of the escalator overlaid with the shape player.
Of course if it was moving I would have done a tracking or something like this.
But now let's do it above.
We take the pencil again and we do another chip.
For example like this not to be very precise you know boring and we take it here and here.
Good.
Now I can I change the color.
Stick it to blue this make it contrast but some gray inside and say overly.
And here you are.
Now you have created a whole illusion has changed the whole movie.
You change the whole video to have something you know really amazing and not is willing didn't do much
work.
OK just changing to overlay of course let's start to change to soft like soft light has a different
algorithm that will soften the colors a bit.
It will not use 100 percent of the one that is less gray.
If you go to hard light now things will change differently.
But the concept is still the same we're still using the moutons we're still using the that is less than
50 percent.
To do our work if you go to linear light also the same.
Now if you go to Vivid lights not just what's happening here.
The mixing is quite different.
You want to try each one of them but what don't want to explain to you is the concept of the complex
category and how it works and how the delays affect this category.
Thank you very much for listening.
This has been a long lecture and I hope I was very clear and you have any questions please post them
and I will be very happy to answer them.
See you in the next lecture.
