  • In this video I give an introduction into layers and layer masks in photoshop for landscape photography. Layer masks are the core of what make photoshop so powerful, and I try to scratch the tip of the iceberg in this video.
    my tutorials can be found at www.nickpagephotography.com

    Wow. Finally someone actually nails a layer mask tutorial. Thanks Nick.

    I agree probably one of the clearer explanations of layers and masks - but to be honest the competition isn't great. Only people who struggle with photoshop should teach it !

    I have watched several layer mask videos and none of them really made sense - this was like a lightbulb moment! Amazing, thankyou, thankyou. thankyou

    I dont know if you do it on purpose but you speak slow enough to make everyone understand what you explain. Another point is you explain so cool! Thanks!

    Some are great photographers, others great teachers, you are without a doubt both. I love how you made this subject so easily understandable to the non technically inclined. I'm amazed how much you can bring a photo to life by making all these selective adjustments, great video Nick.

    Brilliant! This is the first video that clearly teaches how to use tools. I hope you will produce a video on each tool in Photoshop. You cannot learn photoshop without understanding tools. I hope you will produce a video on each tool in Photoshop. This series would create a basis for learning photoshop. You are an excellent teacher. Thank you

    Just got photoshop. Ive been using Lightroom classic 6.14 for years and love the workflow. But, once I installed photoshop I was dumbfounded on its complexity, after this video, im hooked on these videos. I feel like im taking an editing course in college but 1 on 1. Well done. This dudes a fantastic teacher.

    I watch your photography videos which are ace and complemented by these tutorials. You have a delivery and the ability to demonstrate that's so understandable it makes learning the techniques and power of Photoshop easy to follow and learn. I'm a bit of an old dog so new tricks take a bit longer to grasp. Great stuff.

    Loving this series of tutorials! I've always been a Lightroom only user but slowly started to use the local adjustments. I recently decided I wanted to try luminosity masks and learn more about photoshop, so these tutorials came at the perfect time. I really like the way you teach and it's great that you repeat shortcuts, it's the only way we are actually going to memorize them 😁

    Nick, yesterday I attempted my 1st ever post processing in photoshop trying to use layers, taking cues from your video clip and trust me I was over the moon that finally I could use them successfully & process my image. Though they were not the best image I ever tried to process, but frankly using these tools which I tried to learn since last few years & could not was made so simple in your video that I finally attempted a go. Thank you:)
