I'm just learning Photoshop. His explanations are clear, slowly derived and understandable, and easily followed. I have been viewing many Photoshop tutorials, and most do not explain the "why" of things. This guy does a fantastic job. The pace is perfect: just try and follow someone posting a "short." No can do. Kudos to you!
What a gem of a tutorial. I've watched a variety of tutorials and usually felt more lost that helped. This has been the exception. The teacher is easy to follow. He doesn't talk and work so fast that you can't keep up and understand, and his insight is amazing. I highly recommend him and hope to find more of his tutorials.
Excellent tutorial. I mainly use Lightroom, and occasionally photoshop.I have struggled with layers for years, picking up tips along the way. Guess what - your instruction to make sure that you are working on the mask for white to reveal, black to conceal is the first time anyone has made that clear to me. Thanks Mark, great stuff.
One of THE best explanations of Layers and Layer Masks any where on RUclips, and with examples provided. Brilliant video, demystifying a subject and techniques that have frustrated me for a year.
This has been the most concise PS tutorial I have seen thus far. I'm new to PS and have been searching for a tutorial where the person teaching moves at a speed and with details that make it easy to follow along and also to understand. Thank you so much for this video. I finally understand layers in a way that I feel confident that I can sit down and enjoy creating a piece of art that I can be proud of!! You have a great teaching style.
One of the best tutorials that I have watched. I have been frightened of PS for years, mainly because I never understood layers, but now I want to learn more, especially from the school of photography.
I can't thank you enough for this video. I'm just a beginner, and this video helped me apply what I have learnt. I used to confuse layers so much. Forget to pick them, select the wrong layer (thanks for the auto-select tip). I'm definitely recommending this video to anyone learning Photoshop.
Just finished watching and RE watching several times. This was THE BEST I have seen on layers...how they work and what magic they accomplish. Definitely want to check out the school!!!! Thank you so very much for offering this on RUclips! Linda
OMG! This man has shown me (in very easy and intuitive form) more in the first 1/3 of this video that I've already been using Photoshop for in the past 6 years. I have subscribed now and am SO looking forward to more tutorials. I shall grab a cup of coffee, when I can, and watch and follow along until I "get it" and then look for next lever of expertise for me to learn. Thank you SOOO much for these videos. I am a photographer and this is adding so much value to my Adobe Creative Suite monthly subscription. Thanks again!!
Absolutely love this guy! Everyone has their own teaching/learning styles and his fits mine. He is calm and methodical. I have watched so many videos at this point since this is brand new to me and so many of them are for "beginners" but seem to expect some sort of foundational level. I need that foundation and Marc supplies it. I'm heading over to buy the class!
A really good video on layers and how to use them. The instructions are clear and detailed giving a good foundation to understanding layers in photoshop.
Thanks again for another awesome tutorial - you are a great instructor. There are so many tools in Photoshop and so many different ways to do the same thing which I think is what makes it so confusing when I try to learn different ways of accomplishing the same thing and then I start to confuse the different ways and the steps involved. Your explanations are very straightforward. Not using Photoshop on a daily basis also is a challenge to remember exactly how I do everything.
The best video I have watched on layers. I watched the tutorial on layers from PS but I had so many questions. I went to RUclips and this video really helped. Thank You!
Fantastic ! I have been using photoshop for years. But this will make the world of difference to my photographs. I have actually understood the uses described with out destroying my work ! thanks Mark, Brilliant! a priceless tutorial
I am new to Photoshop and I've been checking out a lot of videos to get started. I have watches some great videos, but none of them brought the concepts of layers and masks in like this one did. The presentation and teaching style was enough to make this subscription adverse guy become a TSOP member.
Excellent tutorial. I am trying to learn PS and have been viewing various tutorials on RUclips. This tutorial is amongst the best I have viewed. It is very organised in the learning aspect, straight to the point with a high level of detail. The pace and teaching style of this tutorial makes it very easy to understand. Thanks Marc. 😊
I jumped into digital art a few days ago, and watching my favorite artist is a bit fast-paced for a beginner. I appreciate your deliberate and trustworthy method of teaching. 🙌🏼💓
Great tutorial, not too fast (which is very important to grasp everything), not too slow, just as it should be... Subscribed and gonna watch the other tutorials also, keep up the good work
Wonderful informative yet easy to understand video. I feel like I finally had an aha moment with Ps and things are starting to click.The section on layer masks and layer adjustment masks was particularly helpful. Thank you!!!
Very easily understood diction. Concepts were explained well and the level of assumed knowledge was kept low so beginners will have no problem following along. Very long video with lots of information. The course ran 1h4mins in length but it took me about 3 hours to complete because I completed each task as he did it on screen. The course is a little deceiving if you just watch it, he makes it look very simple, but you really don't get much imprinted learning that way. You really have to do as he does and the photos are provided to do that. I will definitely look for other videos as I expand my knowledge of photoshop.
What a breath of fresh air - someone who not only understands photoshop but more importantly knows how to impart knowledge that a viewer can actually use. Ive watched too many photoshop videos that are designed to impress - but fail to impart anything useful! Masks and layers in photoshop are not difficult to use - once you grasp the reasoning behind how these tools work. This video has explained both the "what and the why" masks and layers are so powerful - at a pace where the viewer has time to properly absorb the concepts. Subscribed!
This is the best tutorial I have watched - and I have watched a lot. I'll have to revisit the adjustment layers and curves sections again but really helpful. I learned quite a few things like the right click to select the layer. I cannot believe I never heard that one before.
I have to thank you because I am trying to get into photography & have been doing online tutorials for PhotoShop. I appreciate your slowness and repetitive style so I can learn. There are a lot of moving parts. I also like you and your personality so am considering taking your PhotoShop comprehensive course.
Marc: I came across this randomly while looking for Layers tutorials. This has to be one of the clearest beginner overviews of what I previously thought would be a difficult and complex topic. Well done. And it led me to your TSOP site, which I'll be joining.
Thanks so much for this in depth tutorial. I learned a lot from your video. I am very new to PS and thanks to this tutorial I am much less frustrated. Looking forward to learning more from your tutorials!
Brilliant!! This guy is really good, so precise easy to follow and probably the best PS video I have watched. Really helpful and explains it slowly and simply. Thank you.
In this way I know and learn how to use PhotoShop. A lot of theory makes it understandable, but experience-wise you learn a lot more. Your way of explaining is ok. You are clear, pleasant pace, concrete and learning. So in short, THANK YOU. !!!!
Thank you for this extensive video . All very clearly explained. I worked along with the sample images and everything worked as taught . The only difficulty I encountered was dropping the hands in . I use a Mac and it didn’t work to drag on to main body ...I had to drag it to the tab . Graham
I have completed the School of Photography Photoshop tutorial. After watching this Layers tutorial, I realised that I have forgotten some of the handy little tips. Well worth watching as a refresher.
I've been using clip studio paint which has been ok for years I've just made the jump to photo shop. And just learning were all the tools are this is a fantastic great in-depth totoral brilliant just spend 4 hours going through it and getting a real feel of Photoshop many many thanks I'm subscribing and thinking of doing your photoshop course brilliant thanks for your brilliant expernation of the layers
