About Andrei Oprinca

Hello, my name is Andrei, I was born in 1988 and I'm a self taught graphic artist (I don't consider myself an artist though, I'll have to check for the definition of that). I write Photoshop tutorials about all the techniques I know and I also provide my brushes and also stock images and other resources. I hope you like my site.

    Hi Andrei,

    I know this has come up a few times, but is there any chance of being able to download the “Long Way – movie” and this one ” Advanced lighting tutorials with the car” for a MAC…? They don’t have Internet Explorer anymore for the MAC…:-(( Just asking. I am a premium user also.

    • Hi Wayne. The long Way Away videos are available for premium members and they can be watched in MAC and PC because they are in mp4 format so you can use quicktime to watch them.

      Regarding this tutorial (Advanced lighting) these 2 videos are not available for download, not even for members because this is a free tutorial and the videos are available on YouTube.

      I noticed that this file is in RAR format. I will upload it in zip format.

      On MAC you can install the free app “The unarchiver” to uncompress the files. Regarding video formats, you can install VLC media player available for mac and windows. it can reproduce pretty much every video format out there.

  3. I consider myself a master in photoshop but this did teach me some new stuff. I love the techniques you used and a great final image. Lovely tutorial even though was a bit long. Keep ‘em coming

  4. Im at the 2:41 mark on this video where you used a short cut key to invert the mask.. i tried googling it and ctr shft I does not work… just curious as to what key you selected at that point in the video to bring back some of the image…

    • The keyboard shortcut for inverting images or layer masks is Ctrl+i

      Ctrll+Shift+i is for inverting selections when you have an active selection i think

  5. Thanks so much for sharing your know-how! >And I thought I knew PS pretty well ;-) Learning all the time!

  6. Truly awesome tutorial a masterclass in light and dodge and burn and very easy to follow Brilliant !!

  7. Another awesome tutorial, another chance to learn new techniques in photo manipulation. Thanks a lot man!

    Here’s my version of this, I took a photo of mine to try something different, the quality of the photo wasn’t satisfactory so I didn’t get the best from it, but I think it’s a solid work and all thanks to you andrei.
