      I couldn't agree more he is absolutely amazing the small pauses between his sentences and words. How he does not use bombastic words to articulate himself , he makes learning fun and user friendly.

    Still loving it. I will say this, you need to download the files. I usually never d/l files when doing tutorials, but this time I wanted to go all in. It makes a huge difference. I think you actually learn it when you follow along with the file and edit as he is editing. My .02 cents worth. Great job Aaron.

  • @nisargkoradia7909

    One suggestion that you should put time stamp in the description because some people may know basics of layers but didn't know everything so he can directly jump to the topic about which he didn't know.
    By the way love your video 👍

    Amazing and fun to learn tutorial. In case you are like me and want to seek back and forth to find that thing you have missed:
    1. Standard Layers: 03:05
    2. Layer Masks: 09:13
    3. Adjustments Layers: 13:00
    4. Type (Text) Layers: 15:46
    5. Clipping Mask: 20:50
    I would recommend you to see the entire video though. It's fun and lots of tips inside.

    This was a really good video. Not only did you show how to use layers effectively, but you showed ways to be creative with them at the same time. One of my issues with PhotoShop, and I feel I have many, is that I use it mostly to fix problems. Using it to actively improve my photos would be a big help.

    I am on day three and I learn so much so far, I am not very techy on PS and always thought it is complicated so I use other software which are good kinda shortcut but you do not learn anything right? So what is the pleasure of it the same with click and shoot when you buy a good camera DSLR.
    From now during my confinement I will learn more before going back to work, it will serve me for my job and will be so useful.
