    In this tutorial, I explain three different types of Photoshop layers and how you can use masks with those layers to apply adjustments, filters, and even tricks.

    Of all the tutorials on masks I have seen, yours is by far the best. It's like all the puzzle pieces have fallen into place finally after alll these years and I get the picture now! (Pun intended 😊 ). I don’t have to create cheat sheets now that I understand how it works. Swinging constantly between Illustrator, Indesign, Photoshop, AutoCad, Excel, and a dozen other programs on a regular basis, you'd need cheat sheet! Thank you and congratulations on a fantastic video tutorial.

    Thanks, Anthony......another fine video. A question on Adjustment Layers. If one wants only to affect the image below, holding down the ALT key (PC) between the Layers brings up a down arrow, which I presume means that that Adjustment will only affect the image below....No? And therefore other Adjustment can be made in the same manner.

  • @JohnAlanDay
    @JohnAlanDay 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Can you make a selection first, then open adjustment layer? So then the adjustment will apply only to selected area.

    • @Potencyfunction
      @Potencyfunction 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Beacuse you need to create one layer first, than to cover your first layer you have to create another chain of sublayers. When you have created more layers, than you can start using content aware fill, content aware move, and other functions in order to get your desired result. In this way you spend less time and you get valuable resources for your job. If you are a designer or you user -in photoshop-than you have facilities in the photoshop ,tugether with others app. at the end-you have created a beuatiful work frame and yo will definetely have succes and be recognized as a valuable and talented editing star.

    Hello Mr. Morganti. I had a quick question. (great content by the way.) Is there a way to move the scroll bar in Photoshop to the left side. See I have a Wacom Table Cintique 22 and I am left handed. My pen holder is set up on the left but I have cross over my keyboard that is in front of me and it would so much better of a workflow if the scroll bar was on the left

    In contrast to other "beginner" or introductory" tutorials to masks and layers, this tutorial demonstrates the fundamentals using simple elements. It doesn't confuse or bewilder novices by plunging off the deep end with all the many, many features and fancy stuff you can do with layers and masks. KISS.

    This is great. I am new to Photoshop so it has been very helpful. I have a related question. I have an image that has water in three areas of the photo (river through Gooseneck Park in Utah). I did a sky replacement due to a dull sky in the evening. The sunset sky is warm, but the water is still very bright due to the bland sky reflection from before. Thanks to this video I tried adding a copy of the sky as a layer below the copy of layer 01. I tried a soft brush to let the warmth show through but it looks terrible due to the overlapping brush strokes. I was trying to use an object selection for each bright water area to make them transparent. When I choose one of the water areas, I can't seem to get to the next step successfully. I am stuck on trying to find a way forward. Is this something you could do a video on?

    I don’t know if you want to get deeper into Photoshop but one thing I’ve never really “got” is all the parameters of a brush (in Photoshop). Even the simple parameters like “flow” I never really “got”. I generally just fiddle around somewhat aimlessly until I get what I want but there is no direction or strategy. I just randomly fiddle with all the settings until it seems to be doing what I want. I would be nice if I actually understood what each parameter does in practical terms.
