Use Digital Gobos to Create Depth, Drama & Storytelling

This video focuses on digital Gobo effects - what they are, how to create them and how to use them in Photoshop to enhance your images. Gobo effects complement other Photoshop (Ps) re-lighting tools featured in my Special Effects playlist tutorials. Gobo is an acronym for "Goes Before Optics".

Traditionally, gobos are physical lighting accessories. This video showcases how to contemporize them by creating & working with them digitally as special effects in Ps.

BONUS Content - links to two 'starter' .png Gobos I created in Google Drawings for viewers of this video to practice with: (The video explains how to use saved .pngs ...)
