Thanks

[@jlkiss2952]

WRITTEN!!!!! Thank you!!! It's so much easier than pausing and starting videos trying to see and follow. I'm learning just by that. Thank you sir!

The sound in this and some other videos are too low. Can barely hear.

[@michelleloparo8175]

I've been so nervous about starting photoshop but this accessible video really calmed me down. I've watched a handful of tutorials but this is the most straight forward, easy to follow lesson on image blending you will ever find. Thanks Colin. I really appreciate this video.

[@ritasmith6893]

Thank you, for always explaining the tutorials in a calm and clear way so over 70's can understand it and learn!

[@chvrleshd]

compositing images together and blending into one realistic image is a very unique skill in my opinion

[@pepi8433]

u think

[@chvrleshd]

@@pepi8433 I know

[@rodshelley1170]

I love compositing / blending images, and I always get a new angle on techniques with your tips, Colin! 👍 See you Thursday!

[@williammcginnis4151]

Perfect timing. Just yesterday I was trying to blend images and it didn't go so smoothly. After watching this excellent video I'll make it happen. Great learning videos. Keep them coming.

[@williammcginnis4151]

I watched this tutorial several months back. Sometimes after watching your tutorials I think to myself, I don’t think I-will ever use any of those tips. But every so often I surprise myself when I run into an editing problem and I can’t remember how to do something. Case in point I made a Milky Way panorama and ended up with checkerboard space above and below the image. I couldn’t remember how to get rid of it but I remembered you showing how to do it in a video. I went back, found this video and used the trim tool to solve my problem. Thanks Colin.

[@wandamcclain4008]

I did learn several things ... I have been using photoshop for years but all these little tips you have really really do make me able to streamline my work process. Thank you thank you!

[@richardstalter5461]

Doing the Cntl L with the mask selected to adjust the edges was new for me. Very cool. Thanks.

[@lysecandle]

thank you! I spent the better part of an hour to find what he said to get the levels panel. There was nothing online that tells you.

[@shanewillliams8839]

Thank you for posting this. I’ll be watching it over and over. Loved the fact that there we so few steps.

[@Peterlnolan]

Thanks Colin, this one’s a keeper. I’m constantly confusing myself when trying to set up a composite, but now I have this brilliant reference tutorial to keep me on the right tracks. Bravo!

[@photoshopcafe]

Glad it helped

[@iknowitscalledfootball]

One of the simplest and informative videos on photoshop. Thank you, Colin!

[@ChuckTipton]

Just starting to learn to composite, this was a great easy way to begin. Already knew some of the shortcuts, but as usual, you always learn something when watching these, thanks for taking the time and effort to pull this content together. Nice!

[@Mocxhi]

Can you photoshop a blur pic for me???

[@WasOnHisBike]

I will admit I was struggling to merge photos, then this video shows me how to do it 'X' times. Thanks very much, a great learning video. Although I have had photoshop for a number of years (Elements 12) this was a real eye opener, and it will help me greatly with my current requirements.

[@lezp.9198]

Great stuff! More basic tutorials on BASIC combining & compositing are always welcome. Thanks.

[@michelemccormick5688]

So clearly explained! Thank you. I will watch it a few times to get it right, but I really appreciate your instruction.

[@dennisbeers]

Once again, Thank you for your easy to fallow video's. I always learn something even with my older version of Photoshop!!

[@elenamoses8064]

Brilliant! Appreciated your slow pace compared to other presenters ...makes a huge difference to someone learning from scratch.

[@anthonydonofrio1061]

This is the best explanation for combining two images that I have seen so far. I want to learn this for my night photography, to combine a foreground with the stars. Thank you!

[@patrickmclean9663]

Thanks Colin,I really appreciate your showing all the techniques to load images. I was bogged down trying to get them into photoshop in layers.
