    I am a huge fan of your channel and would recommend it to anyone who uses Photoshop. One of the things I love most about your tutorials is how you always describe every operation and give the keystroke and shortcut. This is one of the primary reasons your presentations are so valuable to every Photoshop user, from beginners to professionals. Keep up the great work!

    From the Netherlands: without your tutorials I would be lost in PS. Thanks!

    I love how he repeats key explanations, but in slightly different ways, and throughout the video. he understands that these topics are complex for newbies, and he gets the value of repetition. Very excellent teacher. Thank you very much!

    @marliesethomas 3 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    This was so incredibly helpful and the perfect timing! Thanks to you, I was able to mask my niece and all of her flyaway hair to replace the sunset behind her with a more interesting one. Then I used the new composite as a reference photo for a pastel portrait for my dad’s birthday. Even my graphic designer sister was impressed! Thank you so so much for your many helpful videos. I have recommended your channel to so many students and faculty at my university.

  • @foreropa
    @foreropa 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This channel is SO good, and I love he shows always the commands for both windows and Mac so everyone knows what we are talking about. Some people don´t do that.

  • @humanityyy
    @humanityyy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is such a great tutorial! Easy to follow and the instructions are super clear. Masking hair has always been a dread to do because I can never make it clean, but this has helped me tremendously! Thank you!

    @joshuabrown1300 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wow. thank you so much. I've spend 4+ yeas in the adobe creative suite and always hesitated learning more about channels and masks because I was comfortable doing things "the easier way" when in reality this way works miracles and can be applied in so many ways. thank you. I was needing this video for a levels workaround and this solves my problem

    Man, you keep getting Better And BETTER with each of the tutorials you make Jesus. You are Clear, Concise AND you explain the 'back story' to each tool, feature and process so that those watching begin to understand WHY to experiment on their work with your guidance. Fabulous work!

    @reneekeel4218 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you for another perfectly timed - and taught - tutorial. I have been having intermittent issues with the masking tool in PS, and having workarounds is always a great idea. The options shown here are excellent, thank you!!

  • @Needafollower

    That inverse the mask to get it from dark to light 🤯 mind blown

  • @JH-qv3xv
    @JH-qv3xv 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Another easy to follow in depth tutorial. Your timing is perfect. I started a new project today and have been struggling with the selections. This looks like a solution. Thanks

  • @urbaneplanner
    @urbaneplanner 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    nice one! I had suffered through a lot of inferior solutions to this basic photo processing issue and this is a great approach that doesn't involve a lot of weird work arounds

  • @pebbles4855
    @pebbles4855 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Finally a good tutorial regarding selections. Every video on youtube is about removing from a studio background or white.

  • @queenge0
    @queenge0 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just found this channel and I'm glad I did. Thank you for a precise, easy to follow tutorial.

  • @swhib
    @swhib 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I like to use 'Calculations' to blend the channels, then 'Apply Image' to enhance it, that gives you a great selection.

  • @danjeory3659
    @danjeory3659 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The way you sorted out that little bit of the dog's fur that you inverted in the channel copy earlier was just awesome. It was nothing to you. Mind blown!

  • @user-lb6ng7gk6l
    @user-lb6ng7gk6l ปีที่แล้ว

    As soon as you started 'burning' the duplicate channel I realised where you were going - this is so simple and utterly brilliant!! I just did a close-up of a bumble bee and it looks perfect.

    @flyingpig3674 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't even need it at the moment, but still, I am amazed. I am amazed by how others like you are so creative and proficient with the tools in Photoshop. I have used a couple of your tutorials so far and I think you're one of the best creators about PS.

  • @funtipunti7231

    Very very powerful technique that already saved me lots of time. Besides that thank you for not playing annoying royalty free audio in the background. Way easier to concentrate that way.

  • @julesselmes
    @julesselmes 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Time is our greatest asset and you just freed up hours of mine. Thank you Jesus! It’s so refreshing to find a tutor that doesn’t fill their videos with ego massaging and pointless introductions or vacuous remarks.

  • @Ronin760
    @Ronin760 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great tutorial. I love the dodge and burn on the duplicated red channel for precise selection. Brilliant. This helped a lot. Thanks!

  • @morray411
    @morray411 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @neil6477
    @neil6477 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Loved following this Jesus - thank you. You definitely have an excellent way of demonstrating and teaching - well, it suites me anyway! If nothing else you have made working in Photoshop more interesting and enjoyable. I have 3 long haired German Shepherds and so being able to create 'furry' masks is a skill I need to develop. Thanks again.

  • @markbuchanan8828
    @markbuchanan8828 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just applied this technique to a bird in flight with a very washed out sky background. I reversed the dodging and burning because my subject was dark. Worked great, I am very pleased and your video was very clear. Thank you so much.

    Excellent trick. To do the white part of the mask, if you select the black with a feather and invert the selection, you can fill with white and maybe go a bit faster on the white edges.
