JR, do you realize you're the FIRST one to make a tutorial about how to PROPERLY select & mask? Not one tut I've seen over years has ever made the clarifications you've made here. I as well as many others thought the S&M panel was flawed in some way compared to refine edge.
Well done. If Adobe product knowledge was measured in people, you would be China.
Thank you, P. Peter R! I appreciate that!
I'm not sure about other tutorials since I don't watch any others, but as far as people go, most don't know how Select and Mask works and what the settings do. So I thought it was a good opportunity to show it off.
I've struggled for soooo long trying to mask out and extract hair. Your tutorial filled in the missing step for me. Many many thanks. I will struggle no more.
I've looked at multiple sources, yours was the best one, especially thankful for: 1) Very easy masking and hiding hair wisps in portraits, 2) highlighting through dodge and burn
Simply amazing! Best explanation of select and mask (wish I had this years ago). So many good tips and practical examples with this tutorial. Brilliantly done! Thank you!
What I particularly like about this vid is that you also explained how to do it on the older versions. God bless you good soul.
Where have you been all my life!!!! So easy to follow and a very calming voice.
Thanks !
Thank you, Prime Lens!

you forgot how to save it into jpeg!!!! it's my first time using photoshop... i'm on the free trial, can i do this?
I can tell you guys this is the most stupid way to change the background of an image to white color. it is tedious and takes so much effort. here is the hack : take your phone and go to your smartphone and edit it, it will give you an option that already has a white background; another way is to edit in instagram where a white background is also available. All these methods only require 1 click and the result is very high quality. efficient and effective.
What version of Photoshop is this please
OMG I have watched so many photoshop tutorials and just get frustrated and quit. This tutorial is on point! Thank you so much for sharing!!
As a self taught 'shopper - and VFX editor - I watch an AWFUL lot of tutorials, and they are mostly garbage. They ALL do a crappy selection, saying "For the purposes of this tutorial Imma just do a rough selection", ignoring the fact that getting the perfect selection is the absolute cornerstone for all image manipulation. It's the most important, fundamental skill that you must learn for professional results and, after 20+ years, I am still learning it.
This video is the most useful tutorial I have watched in years. I've used the select and mask tool a lot, recently, for some kid photography I've done, and have got pretty good results, but you're showing me what's going on under the hood with the edge selection has just upped the quality of my output enormously.
I subscribe to VERY few channels - who has time, right? - but you've got a new sub, today. Thank you.
thanks thats good info you give. yes he is doing good with his great knowledge of ps. we are all grateful i hope.
Complex stuff perfectly explained - I never cease to learn new things from you! I particularly liked (a) how to reset the "Global Refinements" and (b) how to duplicate inner shadows - thanks a ton for all of this, Jesús!
Thanks again! 😊
Just blown away by how much useful information you're providing. These tutorials are invaluable - thank you so much for sharing. My efforts in Photoshop have come a long way since I started watching your videos.
Thank you, Darren!
I'm just blown away by this tutorial - seriously. THANK YOU.
It's great that you take the time to give GREAT instructions in PS without the cost that others want you to pay for. All your tutorials are a jem!!! Thanks again.
You're welcome, Joe! But I don't blame other for selling videos. I do it as well! 🙂
Thank you so much, you are the first one, explaining to do the hair in a second step. That was the best photoshop tipp EVER !!!!
Thanks! That was the most comprehensive explanation of the Select and Mask I’ve seen. Really helps me understand how to use it most efficiently.
This tutorial is well explained, detailed, and came at a time when I needed it the most. Thank you! 🖖🏼
To make twice select and mask on one layer is very useful and time saving . great tut as always.
This is the best video I have found on this subject. Really helpful. For those like me trying to train up on Photoshop, hopefully quickly, professionals like yourself taking the time to make quality tutorial videos is a godsend. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you! I have been trying to figure this dang tool out since it first came out! LOL
Dave Cross teaches to do separate 'Refine Edge' masks on the body and the head, so, I have been doing that. But, you helped to understand it! I can't wait to go at one again! LOL
You're welcome, suruha2306!
Omg, I prefer to listen to you rather than listening to my teacher in my 3 years in school I never ever learn this easy way.! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! hope I can learn more in your more videos to come.
I am not new to photoshop but still figuring things out. You made the steps east to understand and did not leave things out assuming the viewer already knew that. I will be referencing your videos many times as I work more in photoshop. Thanks for including the ps6 version information as well as that is what I am still using.
I know this is a year old, but this is the best tutorial on masking yet! Thank you so much for making this.
I really wish I found this years ago. A game changer for sure! Thank you so much for putting together such an informative tutorial.
The level of attention that you have to the details of the image is amazing. And we have the tendency to stop halfway there thinking that the image is already OK, but there's so much you can do to make the image stand out! Thanks, man!
You're welcome, Alexandre!
Praise be to the one who created the select subject button! Much much less frustrating. Thanks for the tutorial. Subscribed.
Hands down, this is the best image extraction from the background I came across. Big thumbs up and SUBSCRIBED!
Hands down I learned almost 5 new things even though I'm using photoshop since 20 years. Thanks best video.
These tutorials are amazing. So many tutorials just TELL yu what to do without explaining, so you end up not understanding and just memorising. But with your videos I always feel like I come away with a better UNDERSTANDING. They're great!
Thank you, Andrea!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! I cannot believe ive just stumbled across this!!! The first tutorial for select and mask where I have genuinely learn how to select and mask correctly!!! This is how its done people!!!! so happy thank you!!!
Thank you, jaynesastarcm4v! I appreciate that!
i have to do this all the time and i still picked up some great tips that will speed things up and probably get a better result. This is the THE best video i''ve seen for taking a grey background background to white. So succinct and easy to follow and not unnecessary waffling like most others do.. Thanks!!
Thank you, Mark! I appreciate that!
Wow, I've always wanted to use the refine edge tool from the old versions of photoshop, never knew you could access it with Photoshop CC. Thank you!
At last a lesson explained in simple language. Thanks a million JR.
Thank you!! As a complete PS newbie I was able to follow your video / pausing to edit whilst watching to achieve the result I was after. :)
Such a wonderful tutorial! Great job moving slowly and explaining in such detail! Thank you!!
00 quiero películas p****
Awesome tutorial! All steps are absolutely relevant and easy to follow. Thanks for making our life easier.
THANK YOU! Learned far more from this tutorial than all similar subject ones combined. Pls keep going with these great & helpful contributions.
Thank you. This is the most concise tutorial I have been able to follow with masks/new tools. brilliant!
Extraordinary explanation. A master of the tool and a master communicator. Not everyone is a master of both. Great.
This is the best video, I just spent the whole day so confused about what to do, but this saved me!
Hey J, This is such a helpful tutorial thanks a ton. I needed to extract a logo from a darker background and this method works wonders! You've also shown me the wizardry that is PS, thank you so much for your hard work and amazing tutorial :)
Jesús, you are truly God's gift to Photoshop users. Thank you for everything you provide to us for free here. I have used your techniques before on a corporate photo shoot and am now applying them to product photography but I am struggling with getting sharp edges on the circular bottle tops. I have been using the Quick mask and shift to get pixel perfect selections on the straight edges but unsure what to do on any area with a curve.
Some extremely useful tips in this video which are relevant to some of the work I do. The light wrap technique is excellent as are the tips on select and mask, especially the idea of hitting OK and going back in to enable different area to be worked on. That is something I had trouble with. Excellent video. Many thanks.
Absolutely awesome - thank you!!! So many extra little gems in this video that can be used for all sorts of things.
Normally i dont put any comment under any video on youtube but this time cannot control myself not to do it , because you are amazing ! As a newbie, I really get what i need clearly on this video . Each step is explained well. Thank you so much! im gonna continue to watch your other videos and apply while watching
Excellent! Learned a lot. Now I just need to practice to remember it. Thanks.
