      You are AMAZING! Not only that, you play the guitar! I knew you were good people when I found you on CreateLive......to ans your question: not yet, but Im learning stuff b.4 I splurge on it. It frightens me. But not as much after listening and watching you. I see differently now when I shoot. I think Im ready. I really want to learn to compost an image into a Salvador Dali self portrait/ kind of abstract Iknow. But I have to learn how to create whats in my head. Baby steps.....

      I actually was doing most of these tricks... but in a very clumsy way, just in the layers. Erasing away parts of them, using gradient in the selections, then deleting part of the images... the whole Layer Masks and blending layers sections were a complete mystery to me until I came across this channel.
      Good job, thanks!

    I’m a beginner to Photoshop. The first few videos I watched were from people who talk so fast that you can’t even follow what they’re doing on the screen. This gentleman is easy to understand and has the ability to talk to beginners in a way that is more user-friendly. I highly recommend watching these videos!

    Colin, you’re by far the best PS&LR instructor on you tube. Your deliberate and concise approach is so easy to follow. Not too fast like some. I am fairly well experienced using the apps but always learn more watching you. Thanks

    You are a masterful teacher. You teach not the old and stale how, but you conceptually define why and where in a very easy and intuitive method. Very deep and painless. Keep going! thank you!

  • @russkayak
    @russkayak 4 года назад +1

    Thank you! I learn something every time I watch the tutorial. Exclusively a LR user but starting to realize the absolute power of PS. As a senior citizen though, it is not easy trying to grasp its staggering number of features. As an amateur landscape photographer I'm trying to limit my learning to those features best suited to that genre. Most helpful....thanks again.

  • @sketchupwoodplans
    @sketchupwoodplans 4 года назад +2

    Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with the community! Your style is very pro learning and helps a lot. I knew pretty much all the 7 tips but seeing them in actions gives me new ideas on how to apply them. Example, recalling a selection to limit the workspace of a brush for better refinement of a mask.

    I have subscribed recently and going through all of your brilliant tutorials. In this video for me using 50% grey instead of reducing opacity of brush to get consistent results in each stroke was brilliant. I have always struggled with overdoing or under doing using the opacity method. Thanks for that.

    I really appreciated the tips being printed out on the screen as I like to take notes. I had just watched another good mask video; but learned new tips here that helped clarify. You have such a well thought out process. The repetition of key points was very helpful, and the pace was too.

    @krzysztofmaska2215 6 лет назад +1

    Well, for me masks were the one of the first things to learn (PS user since v. 7.0, till CC2018). They are great to learn not only as a specific software option, but as a concept. Many programs use these, for example video editing/vfx softwares like Vegas or After Effects, but also other graphic programs, not only raster but also vector. I currently transfered to Affinity package and both Photo and designer has masks. Mastering this technique will really give you an advantage in a lot of fields. For example I also learn & practice things in game design, and in Unreal Engine you also can mask things with black color.
    So in one sentence: master masks as a concept, and it will help you in many areas ;).
    And by the way: great video Colin!
