Good idea, but I think you should consider upgrading to a current version of Photoshop. So much easier with modern tools (remove tool, generative fill, ai object selection, layer masks, select and mask, advanced filters, etc.) - Why work so hard when you don't have to?
I use cs6 and adobe elements 9. Never seen a need to upgrade. I own the programs, so no monthly cost. The programs do what I need. You are correct that the newer versions have so many features and would make the process quicker.
@@MichaelCGrayPhotography I enjoy your content and appreciate the effort it takes (I have a smart home channel myself), but as a long time non-pro photographer that spent way too many hours mastering putting 35mm film on metal reels to develop and hours of darkroom time with enlargers and chemical trays, when I finally forced myself to learn Photoshop, and then jumped on the new features they are pumping out in the last 2 years, I felt the same exhilaration in digital editing that I felt the first time I abandoned chemicals and darkroom and was able to "develop" photos instantly. Given how really old the PS you are using (PSE, not even full PS), I would challenge you to download the latest PS free demo and give it a decent try, not a quick look. Or at least watch some of Adobe evangelist Terry White (his channel or on the Adobe channel) RUclips vids about some of PS capabilities and you might think that $20+ per month they ask is money you should have spent a long time ago. Yes, there are modern and also amazing free or one-time alternatives to PS, but for me, I don't regret paying for the professional-level tools that I can afford, YMMV.

What product do you need help with photographing?
Nice! I like that you showed the whole process start to finish
Glad you liked it!
