hey everybody welcome back to another episode of the photoshop training hour i am your host jesus ramirez how's it going good to see everyone in the chat thank you so much msi for sponsoring today's stream just like every other stream and they send this really cool t-shirt too so thank you msi for that um in this episode of the photoshop training hour we're going to discuss the curves adjustment in photoshop i know that it can be intimidating especially if you're just starting out so the whole point of this one hour stream is for you to understand how it works and you can better utilize it for different reasons in your creative projects so we're just going to go through several examples i'm going to show you keyboard shortcuts i'm going to show you what some things mean so that you can better understand how the tool works and how you can use it to solve many different issues with tonality and color i am in the san francisco bay area in beautiful san ramon california so yeah let me know in the chat where you're watching from there's a couple things i want to ask you before we begin number one is if you see anything on this stream that you enjoy make sure that you hit that like button it really helps out the youtube channel when you hit that like button and when you leave a comment so feel free to leave any comment that you want it could be a question a comment a concern anything that you want and also adobe max is coming up soon adobe max is a conference it's adobe's flagship creative conference it is a free virtual event this year from october 26 to october 28th and i will be teaching several sessions there so make sure that you head over to the adobe max website there's a link in the description so that you can sign up for my free classes i have two classes in adobe max essential editing techniques for creating realistic composites and photoshop advanced techniques it will be on the 27th and 28th of october so make sure that you sign up for free and watch these classes but let's get started with the curves adjustment layer which is what we're going to discuss today so the curves adjustment layer what is it how does it work why do we care well in my opinion the curves adjustment layer is one of the most powerful color and tonal correction tools that you can use in photoshop it it is however one of the most difficult to understand if you're a beginner but i figure that we will take the time in this session and just explain it and see and show you how it can help you in your creative projects so there's two ways of applying curves and well there's more than two but usually you would do one of two things you would go into image adjustments and curves to bring up the curves adjustment but the problem with doing so is that anything under this image adjustment menus including curves is destructive in other words if you make an adjustment to an image it's applied to the image and you can't go back and change that if i go back into image adjustment and curves notice that the curves is now reset it and i can't move that point back so adobe in their infinite wisdom added adjustment layers into photoshop so that you can apply those adjustments as layers so that they're editable so instead what you can do is go into the new adjustment layer icon and select curves and that gives you basically the same panel it works exactly the same but it's non-destructive in other words you can always come back and make changes to it or you could delete the entire layer and start from scratch so you're not stuck with the changes you make so that's the biggest difference between making a curves adjustment from the layers panel and making it from the adjustment menu here from the image adjustment menu so it gives you the same result in terms of the adjustments that you can make but you don't have the flexibility to make changes at a later time if you want cool um someone is asking about my pc specs we'll talk about that a little later since i am going to talk about the msi products that i'm using so no worries i will talk about the pc specs and yes please no posting the same question over and over again in the chat i can see all the questions and thank you so much for letting me know wealth concept about the audio cool so a side a quick side note um you can press ctrl m on windows that's command m on the mac to bring up the curves window here and make your adjustments the downside is that this is destructive so what you can do if you wanted to if you wanted to have quick access to the curves adjustment layer you can press ctrl shift k that's commands not ctrl shift k it's um control uh ctrl alt shift k that's command option shift k on the mac once again ctrl alt shift k windows that's command option shift k on the mac to bring up the keyboard shortcuts menu and from here you can apply that keyboard shortcut to the curves adjustment layer by going into layer and it's in here somewhere let me see if i can find it really quick neo adjustment layer curves here we go and you can just do that same keyboard shortcut ctrl m and photoshop will tell you control m is already in use and will be removed from image adjustment curves and that's okay i don't want it to bring up the curves adjustment menu i wanted to bring up a adjustment layer so then you can click on accept and go to conflict and it should switch it over let me see if i did nope let me try that again uh ctrl m here we go and i'm just pressing the keyboard shortcuts and then click on accept here that's what i needed to do sorry i needed to click on the accept button here and press ok so now when i press ctrl m whoops didn't work of course it didn't because i'm doing it live so let me try that again so you can scroll down and here we go control m oh that's because i accidentally placed it on the image see that i didn't do it in the layer style so i can just delete it from here and i can scroll down and go back to the layers once again all the way down here here we go new adjustment layer curves control m accept it press ok so now when i press ctrl m it creates a new layer there press ok and there it is see that see how we have the curves adjustment layer instead so that's one thing that you may want to do you may want to change the keyboard shortcut so that you can quickly create an adjustment layer like so and you don't have to always go into the new adjustment layer icon and in my opinion well depending on your workflow i don't want to speak for everybody but depending on your workflow most of the times you're not going to make adjustments from this panel while using curves so that could be an easier way to create a curves adjustment layer and save just a little bit of time now that we have a curves adjustment layer what can we do with it so the curves adjustment layer allows you to change the tonality of an image by clicking and dragging on the points that we have on this curve so currently we have two points we have one down here this this point down here at the bottom and one here at the top so the one at the bottom on the bottom left that one controls the darkest pixels and the one on top here controls the brightest pixels so basically the black and white point notice that we have a graph the horizontal graph or the horizontal area of the graph controls the input which is the original value of the pixels that you select and the output is the vertical line the values that those pixels get changed to so for example when i select this point here at the bottom you'll see that the input is zero zero is black 255 is white you can double click on the foreground color picker and you see here see that zero is black and the rgb scale and if i go all the way up to white is 255 so that's what those numbers relate 128 will be 50 gray and so on and so forth but you can see the rgb values here so those that's basically what these numbers mean so if i click and drag this input up i can change it to something else so what's going on here well we inputted a value of 0 and we're outputting it at 125. that you don't need to know that all this means is look at this graph here originally this point was black remember the original point is on the horizontal scale so it was black and we dragged it up the vertical gradient is the after like what it becomes so we took the black point and we made it into this shade of gray here so notice in the image what happened anything that was completely black it's no longer black now is that shade of gray which is why that image looks washed out same thing on the other side if i click here the input on this box 255 output is the same because i haven't made any changes and if i drag it down now the original pixel that was white you can see on the on the gra on the gradient here on the bottom it was right here white but now it's no longer white now it's this dark shade of gray which is why the image looks darker so that's basically how the curves adjustment works you have an input and an output also you'll notice that there's this line here on the top or i'm sorry going from from top to bottom this little line there basically when you create a point and you drag up or down you can just add more light or reduce light another way of thinking about this is like having a dimmer switch like you know in some living rooms or some rooms in your home you may have a dimmer switch where you drag up to add light or you drag down to subtract light and like the off feature if you will would be right in the center right in the center you're not going to make any changes where that line is you drag up you make changes or you add light you drag down you reduce light until you completely shut off the light or until you increase the light to the maximum intensity so okay well that's great so how does that help us like why would we even want to use this to control our images well one simple thing is adding contrast i'm sure that a lot of people in the chat are familiar or have at least seen an s curve so an s curve simply means a curve that looks like an s see that this kind of looks like an s that's creating contrast in the image if i drag this point down it makes the darker pixels darker if i drag this point up it makes the brighter pixels brighter and it adds contrast obviously that looks terrible but that's the basic idea we also have um in the curves adjustment layer here we have presets so i can click on this um down on this drop down and i can select medium contrast and that would basically add an s curve you can see that isn't this is an s curve it doesn't have to be an extreme for it to be an s curve it could be something subtle it's still an s curve so that's one of the things that you can do that you can do with the curves adjustment layer another thing that you can do with the curves adjustment layer is you can click on this direct selection tool and hover over the image and notice that as i'm hovering over the image there's a circle that appears on that line so i could target specific pixels so for example if i think that these areas here are too dark i can just click and drag up to brighten those areas but then maybe the clouds get a little too too bright so i can just hover over the area that i think is too bright click and drag down to reduce the brightness from that area so i increase the brightness in the shadows and i reduce the brightness in the highlights and obviously i wasn't being precise or i was just explaining it that probably wasn't the best way to correct this image but that's one of the things that you can do when you create a point on the line you can manipulate it any way that you want you can bring it up or down it doesn't really matter it's totally up to you and what you want to do if you want to delete a point you can click and drag it away from the curve and it disappears or you can click on it once and then hit the backspace key on windows that's the delete key on the mac another cool thing is if you have a lot of points on your curve you don't even have to select them you can do it all manually if you press the plus key on the keyboard notice how the selection goes up see how my selected points are going up see that and if you press the minus key the points selection goes down so i can select these points by using the minus and plus keys and then with the arrow keys i can move a point up see that and if i hold shift i can move it in higher increments see that i'm going to go up to the top one move that one up go to the next one move that one down see that go to the next one move it up see that and i can go back down the curve by pressing the minus key or the to the previous point and then maybe that one's too high so i can bring it back down by using the shift key and the arrow keys using the shift key moves the point in higher increments and if you want to really fine tune it just don't hold the key and you make really fine adjustments basically one value see how i'm going look at the output 128 129 130. if i hold shift and tap on the up key on the keyboard then i'm going in increments by 10. so either you can go in increments by one just by using the arrow keys or you can go in increments by 10 by adding the shift key to the arrow keys and by the way we have a reset button here i don't know if you saw me press that this right here you can click on it and it resets the curve so let's talk a little more about what the overlays on the curve means and by the way if you're watching this and you don't have the same overlays what you can do is click on the fly out menu this four line icon here on the top right of the properties panel and then go into the curves display options and from here you can just use these settings that i'm using i'm using light as opposed to pigment so this is more for a curves adjustment in cmyk but i'm working in rgb so light going from 0 to 255 is what i should be working on then we have the graph here we have this graph that has increments of 20. so each of these lines is increments of 20 or 25 uh actually i don't yeah yeah 25 i'm sorry not 20. and then these are increments of 10. so you can see that the squares are much much smaller and we have all these different overlays one of the important ones is the histogram i like having the histogram on the histogram simply shows you where the information is in the current image that you're working on so you can see that most of the information this giant peak here is in the brightest pixels this is a fairly bright image so we're going to get more information on the bright areas if you are working on an image that is stark like this one here now notice that we have more information in the dark areas and not so much on the brights so that might be a useful tool for you to keep an eye on if you are doing something with color correction or you're trying to adjust tonality um something that we haven't talked about yet and maybe i should have mentioned that earlier is that there's two ways of editing the curve you have already seen me edit the curve by adding these points and dragging them and that's because i have this option here selected but i could also select the pencil and with the pencil i could draw my curve see that see how i just drew that curve i don't necessarily use the pencil that often i prefer to use this option instead and notice that when i switch over to that option photoshop shows the points that were created when i drew on that pencil so you can use the pencil if you want to get started and then continue with the curve with this method here but i don't necessarily do that i just always start with this method and i can just start adding the points that i want so i know that that was a very quick rundown of how it works or how the curves adjustment layer works but now we're going to get into some examples you can actually see it at work and what you can do with it so something that you already saw was creating contrast right you just create an s-curve and you add contrast right because we made the brightest pixels brighter by adding a point and dragging it up so basically anything from an input of 155 um and and brighter got brighter and from here anything with an input of 93 and darker got darker which creates contrast of course another thing that you can do is you can color correct so i've shown this example in other another session so if you've seen it it's going to be a refresher and what you can do now and by the way i'm looking at the chat and uh people are saying that they like the keyboard shortcuts david holdstock is saying that it's useful to know about the minus keys and the plus keys and all that so i'm glad that these keyboard shortcuts are being useful and beneficial for you guys again if i show something that you like remember the deal is to hit that like button and by the way my birthday was yesterday so that'll be my birthday gift you guys hitting that plus button or that um thumbs up button but anyway so something else that you can do is make color correction so i'm going to create a curves adjustment layer and i'm just going to click on this icon to clip it to the layer below just so that i only affect this layer and not the others that i have in this particular document and let me just hide the guides you can hide guides by pressing the control semicolon key you could also press ctrl h to hide all guys guides hide all guides including the the guides there i'm sorry i'm i didn't explain that properly ctrl h hides all extras including the guides that's what i was trying to say we can color correct this image by doing a lot of things before i can't remember exactly what version it was but around photoshop seven or so we didn't have a lot of the auto features we have today and if we wanted to color correct this image we would have to do it all manually and we could do so by using the curves adjustment layer notice that on this drop down we have all the different channels red green and blue and what does that mean well if we go into the channels panel and i'll drag it out so you can see it if we come here into the channels panel and select one channel you can see that we have the red channel the green channel and the blue channel right and what this curves allows us to do is to make that channel either brighter or darker see that look at the preview here the blue channel so i'm basically controlling the brightness of that channel and i can do everything i did before i can add contrast to that channel i can do whatever i want to that channel so in other words the curves adjustment layer can control each channel independently so if i go back and reset this and go back into the channels panel here i can select red right and i can see the information of the red channel and notice that this image is washed out one of the reasons that it's washed out is because we don't have any information in the most darkest or brightest areas of the photo so we could bring back some of that contrast by selecting where the information in this image starts on each channel and on the rgb composite and we can also color correct it by making sure that all these channels have this black point start where the information starts and i can do the same thing with this white point here see that so i just drag the black point to where the information starts and i drag the white point to where the information starts then i can do the same thing for the green channel both points and i can do the same for the blue channel here we are fan tastic now looks like i missed one or i didn't do one properly but anyway i think that you you get the idea so i i basically color corrected the image by finding the darkest and brightest colors and usually i do a much better job in showing uh this example but not in this case it doesn't really matter the point is that i color corrected the image by finding the brightest and darkest colors of each channel in newer versions of photoshop you don't need to worry about doing all this work that i just did that was just an example in newer versions of photoshop all you need to do is hold alt on windows option on the mac and click on auto and by default photoshop uses enhanced brightness and contrast which in my opinion is not the best algorithm to select you can select from four algorithms and in my opinion find dark and light colors works best as you can see there i also like to check snap neutral mid-tones and also the first time that you do this make sure that you click on save as defaults so that you override the default algorithm and you just use this one always whenever you click on that auto button and basically what this is doing this is telling photoshop the shadow should be black the highlight should be white and that you should try to neutralize the image and it gives you that result that you see there if you go into the individual channels you can sort of see what happens see that's how the the point was at brought here to where the information starts on either end sort of like we did and my earlier example what uh the the adjustments that i made manually and photoshop went ahead and actually even made other adjustments to the midpoint there just to try to neutralize the image better so it went a step further than i did when you go back into the rgb composite you can see the adjustments that were made on each individual channel with these color lines and the cool thing about this tool is i could also now control the rgb composite without affecting the color so i could come in here and maybe brighten it a little bit since it might be a little too dark now so i can make all these adjustments now and still maintain that color correction and i'm just eyeballing it here obviously but something that i could do is i could select this tool here click on the area that i want to open up go up maybe this is too bright up here click down to darken it up a little bit but the point is that you can make all these amazing color corrections just by using the auto feature in the curves adjustment layer and then you can fine tune the rgb composite i think it's a fantastic way of color correcting and i should i would definitely give it a go another thing that you can do with the curves adjustment layer is basically the same thing but oh actually i i'll talk about that in a moment um you can do color matching so in this composite very simple composite i have this background in this jet and how can i match the background to the jet well earlier we use the curves adjustment layer and the auto color correction options again hold alt on windows option on the mac and click on auto to bring this up and we use the fine dark and light colors to select shadows and highlights we use default black and white but in this case we don't want to use the default black and white to colorize this image instead we want to match the background which doesn't necessarily have black and white as the colors so what we can do is in this adjustment layer clip it to the layer below because we only want to affect the plane now something very important here make sure look at look at the folks it's on the layer mask thumbnail see that if i were to go into the auto options right now and try to select a color it's always going to select white see that see how i'm selecting white no matter what i click on that's because the layer mask is selected if you actually wanted to select the color you can hold the ctrl key on windows that's the command key on the mac and then you can select the color because i have the layer mask selected sometimes it's too confusing too too many things to remember so for me it's easier to just click on the layer thumbnail so that the focus of white outline is on the layer thumbnail and then go into the auto color correction options and i can just click without holding that keyboard shortcut so um that was basically a long-winded explanation to say that if you have the layer thumbnail selected and you're in the auto color correction options you can select these color pickers just click over your image to select the color if you don't if you have the layer mask selected and you go into the curves adjustment auto options when you click you'll select white and if you want to select the color the color they're actually clicking on you have to hold the ctrl key on windows that's the command key on the mac and then you'll select the color so i think that kind of shows you why i think just remembering to click on the layer thumbnails just easier and you don't have to worry about using the keyboard shortcut over here but anyway so what you need to do is go into find dark and light colors and uncheck very important we're not trying to neutralize anything so we have to uncheck snap neutral mid tones now i have to select the shadows and highlights of the background to match the foreground so the shadows what is the darkest area maybe this dark red here and i can press ok and if i don't like it i could always come back and fine tune it to something else so maybe something a little bit brighter than what i clicked on still the same color more or less but just a little bit brighter and then the highlights what color are the highlights well it's not going to be the white that you see here the white is just a it's just blown out areas so i don't necessarily want white i just want something that's off-white maybe the yellow that you see here and i could adjust it accordingly and in this case i don't think i did that good of a job in selecting the shadow so i can come back in here and find something that will work better and i think that maybe something like this will work better i can press ok i can press ok one more time photoshop will ask me if i want to make these my new default colors i don't want to do that in 99.9 percent of cases so i'm going to click no now this is looking okay but the problem is that the contrast is not really matching the background well remember what i said earlier with the rgb composite here when rgb is selected you can make adjustments to the brightness without affecting the colors that we applied so now i can just make an adjustment that sort of matches the contrast of the scene to try to make it match better and something like that maybe that's a little too extreme but i think that you get the idea something like this works before and after so we can use the curves adjustment layer to color correct and color match an image as you saw here the trick here is to find the color of the shadows and the color of the highlights and then matching the contrast that's all we did remember we went into the auto color correction options we found a color for the shadows that worked a color for the highlights that work and we could edit it if we want to maybe you select the you know a yellow that's a bit more orange and we can come back and continue fine tuning this till we get a result that looks better to our eyes and i know this is not really a compositing class but i'll show this anyway i'm going to create a new layer ctrl alt g on windows command option g on the mac to clip this to the layer below so that the pixels that i paint on this layer only affect the plane and not the background then with the brush tool i can paint with white and i'm just going to play it with white here on the side just to get this highlight on the plane like so then i'll double click to the side of the layer to bring up the layer style window i'll change the blending mode to color dodge and i'll uncheck transparency shapes layer to change the blend so that it looks more like a highlight hitting the pl the plane and i can reduce the opac the fill opacity the fill not the opacity the fill to control how intense that highlight is like so and you could also do it from here this is the fill here in the layers panel same thing and also if you wanted to you can go into image adjustment hue and saturation click on colorize and you can colorize that so you can make it yellow or orange or something like that see that see how i'm now colorizing that highlight so you can select the the color of the light not necessarily white now it's more of a yellow orange and again you can reduce the fill accordingly to a highlight that looks good to your eye so that was just a little added bonus for this particular little composite but the overall point is that you can color match using curves let me see if there are any questions in the chat um johnny says i set them to default how do i set them back uh really easy johnny no no big deal so what you need to do is go into the auto color correction options and you know i'm just going to change this to whatever colors it doesn't matter um i don't know green or something you know you maybe you accidentally press okay and then you hit yes by accident and now every time you create a curves adjustment layer and hit auto you're going to get those ugly colors well it's not a big deal all you need to do is under shadows make them black and the highlights make them white press okay and set them as default and there you go that's what i need to do no big problem what do we have next and how much time do we have all right we have some time so let me show you these samples here so this is a an old screenshot shot of an older version of photoshop but it doesn't matter still still works the same when you're working with the curves adjustment layer we talked about that you can select different channels so if i select the red channel you can add or subtract light what light are we talking about red in this case so remember how i talked about this center line earlier and if you drag up you add light if you're in a specific channel like in this case a red channel you'll add light in the color of that channel see i'm adding red because i dragged up but if you drag down you subtract red and you get the opposite color in this case cyan and this is what this is representing here these colors red on top cyan at the bottom in the green channel green on top magenta at the bottom in the blue channel blue on top yellow at the bottom so let me show you how that works green you drag up you get green you drag down you get magenta in the blue channel you drag up you get blue you drag down you get yellow so that's basically what i'm trying to describe here what happens when you drag points up or down on these given channels and you might be thinking well that's cool why is that beneficial well you can apply a color grade to an image there's a lot of ways of color grading images curves is just one more way and if you use the not selective color sorry the curves adjustment layer clip it to the layer below you can select an image or a channel and then click on this icon and say add maybe more blue to this areas here to the shadows it's going to add blue to the entire image of course but you could also come to the highlights here and then reduce some of the blue that you added there then i can go into the reds maybe and then subtract red from these areas and add red on the skin tones because i want his skin tone so still have red and then i can go back into the rgb composite and i can apply contrast to apply a color grade so this is just a very simple color grade that i've applied to the image just by using the curves adjustment layer so that's one of the things you can do and i i chose this particular blue color but it could have been anything else right it could have been i could have gave it you know maybe like a warm color so maybe add a little bit of red and maybe add a little bit of yellow in these areas you know to warm up the image you know so whatever you want to do it's totally up to you but the point is is that you can use the curves adjustment layer to apply colors to your image the colors that you apply are really not that important what's important is the story that you're trying to tell and the colors that you add should help emphasize the story that your image is trying to tell cool eugene is saying thank you for all the help and the tutorials i'm so glad they were helpful thank you so much eugene i mean what is the difference between curves and levels they're basically the same just how they represent the information and how you can manipulate the information so with the levels adjustment layer you basically have the inputs and outputs but they're basically just sliders and a graph and the limitation of the levels adjustment layer might be its greatest advantage there's so much easier to use if you're starting out curves could be much more intimidating and confusing and sure it can give you a lot more but a lot of times more is less sometimes with the level set i you might see my tutorials i use the levels adjustment layer all the time depending on what i'm doing and like i said sometimes less is more because having less options allows you to get to where you want to go much faster so we have a gamma slider here for example that you know makes it really easy to adjust you know this the contrast of the image it might be a little bit more difficult with a curves adjustment layer you can make the argument that it's better but you know maybe maybe not that much better and definitely much faster much easier you can quickly set your black point and your white point as opposed to coming here you know drag up here and then drag down you know you can do the same things they're just represented in different ways but the curves adjustment layer does have more flexibility and it gives you more options to do different things i mean for example one of the arguments i've heard is that just because the curves adjustment layer is better at controlling color and tonality than other tools it makes the other tools irrelevant or useless that's not my opinion for example if i click and drag this white point up and this black point down i created an inversion of the image right well i also have a invert adjustment layer that gives me the same result does that make the invert adjustment layer useless or not worth using no of course not it just means that this is what this adjustment layer does and if i wanted to i have the flexibility to do that with with curves doesn't matter which one you use levels or curves it whatever gives you the result that you want that's the one that you should use so let's move on to the next thing let me see if there's any other questions in the chat let me i think i actually covered everything pretty quickly a lot quicker than than i was intending to let me see if there's any other questions in the chat we only have a couple minutes and actually you know what something that i should have done a little earlier that i didn't do and i'm glad we still have some time is i will open up this window here to show you guys the products that i'm using as i mentioned before this stream is sponsored by our good friends at msi my laptop that i've been using recently is a creator z16 laptop it's an 11th gen um computer intel 11th gen processor with a geforce rtx 30 series processor they're fantastic computers really fast work great with photoshop and i highly recommend them one of the cool things is that this is a 16 by 10 aspect ratio computer so it gives you more room to work with when you're in photoshop or other applications as you see there most computers are 16x9 so you have more room to see um that somebody was asking about the desktop where i'm streaming this stream from this is what i currently use as my desktop computer it's an incredibly powerful computer it's a gaming machine but it still works great for design so i highly recommend that you check it out if you're interested in a powerful computer the links to all these products are below in the description and actually the monitor where i'm reading your comments someone that's here on my right is this one that you see here the creator ps321 urv it's a fantastic monitor 4k display it has 98 adobe rgb and all monitors come pre-calibrated from the factory so make sure that you check it out it's a fantastic monitor for creators as well so make sure that you check those out also make sure that you sign up for my adobe max class you can check out the link below in the description for that as well cool so yeah thank you so much msi for those wonderful products for the t-shirt and for sponsoring today's session so the last thing i want to say is this is a very good tip that i probably should have mentioned in the beginning so don't go just yet just one more tip is when you're working with the curves adjustment layer you may inadvertently adjust the saturation of the image so you look look at the skin tones see that i made an adjustment and it saturated the image if you're ever working with the curves adjustment layer and you only want to affect luminosity but not your saturation what you can do is go into the blending mode drop down and select luminosity see that when you select luminosity now i just make the pixels brighter or darker but i don't introduce saturation if i have it set to normal look at the difference see that normal luminosity so a lot of times when i'm working just on making things brighter or darker i will switch the blending mode to luminosity that way i don't inadvertently adjust saturation so that was the last tip that i wanted to have you guys today if you enjoy the stream make sure that you hit that like button now and let me know in the comments what you enjoy the most again thank you so much for watching i really appreciate you being here with me
