    I love to use the pen tool, but had no idea that this level of accuracy could be achieved on curves. Excellent presentation and well presented. Thank you.

    Ive used Photoshop for a number of years, but usually avoid the pen tool as all the previous tutorials and books don't really give a clear instruction. Just in the space of this short tutorial , I now fully grasp the pen tool and it will now be my go-to for complex selections. Great work, thank you.

      Lovely video content! Sorry for chiming in, I would appreciate your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Riddleagan Made Masterpiece Remedy (do a search on google)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning professional photo editing minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.

In 8 minutes you've finally helped me conquer it where no other tutorial ever has! Thank you SO much!! :D :D

    This is a really great channel. There have been too many incidents where RUclips prioritizes content that does not give back to the community. Your channel should have way more subscribers, Aaron. The fact that you give people free and in depth tutorials and get recognition for it is a really good thing. This is what RUclips needs more of, people who give back and are ready to help. Thanks Aaron!!! Btw I’m brand new to the channel and have already watch a lot of videos! Great personality
