The absolute hands down best photoshop tutorials on youtube
Although this is simple to do, This has got to be one of the best tutorials I have seen in a long time, the way you explain and show real close ups of what you are doing and I love the fact that you use so many keyboard short cuts. (I'm a "short cut" gal) Thank you
Thanks!
Finally a tattoo tutorial using a blooming displacement map!
Marty , Best tutorial ever. So patience and clear in wt ever yu teach. Appreciate the work. Keep posting.
use full words : )
thanks man i use this all the time to see if my tats will look good before i get em
I'm watching your videos for hours, you sir are really smart person.
You are a genius Sir...Best Tutorial I've ever seen..You make photoshop so easy!
If you saved your selection (1:20), you'll have its channel as Alpha 1 in the Channels panel.
BEST TUTORIAL on TH-cam EVER! Thank you SOOOOOOOO much!
THUMBS UP THIS COMMENT:
For those of you who like me, watch the video on repeat for each stencil you're practicing on, here's a step by step of what he says written short. If you've watched the video, reading these instructions will feel like a breeze rather then keeping up and rewinding each time so here you go:(again, much easier if you've already heard the video once and practiced once first time off the video, after that, my instructions are just go with flow)
tattoo step by step PSD tutorial:
-select area for tattoo to be placed on canvas first

-play with saturation/lighting
done.
You are an amazing teacher and your videos are stellar. Keep up the great work and I will continue watching and learning
The best/easiest to understand Tutorial i ever see - thank you very much!!
Once again, great tutorial Marty !
Had to do this as a final project of my school year! Thank you so much for this tutorial.
Simply the Best of the Best Tutorial!!!!!!! Wow.... Thank you so much Marty!!
Actually this is One of the Best tutorials i've ever Seen and Absolutely is the best tattoo tutorial THNX Marty For the Explaining it So cool and Please Upload More Vidz like This I've subscribed 10x
Another great tip, thanks Marty. I learned this this process a bit earlier but had an idea your would take the procedure a step further and I was right. Thanks again!
In-sanely good tutotial! You have no idea how much you've helped me right now. Thanks.
Marty in the subtitle box at 1:28 when you say: On a Pc or Cmd + on a mac.
it shows Cmd + T on a mac.
Another great tutorial Marty. Thank you.
you are amazing !! all of ur Videos are VERY HELPFUL !! Liked !!
Nice tutorial, but if I can suggest, the fastest way to select a clear balck and white instead of using the magic wand tool, is to use the Channel and command click then inverse to select the black area.
Best Best & Best Tutorial .....
Marcelo Miguel Bazan...Thanks for the "heads up". The link is there now.
I wish everyone could explain like you do!
Jareen Multicam...Thanks for letting me know. I corrected the caption.
Wow that was the most amazing thing Ive every seen! You Sir are a master!
You certainly have a gift for doing tutorials!
Unfortunately, there's no way to keep the corners sharp. If you stroke the "Inside", then the outside corners remain sharp, but the inside corners are rounded (and vice-versa).
Perfect...give it a try.
Hi Marty. Of topic, When using the Fx, stroke on text or graphics with sharp corners is there a way to keep the stroke corner sharp and not to round the corner off? Or do I have to go around after fixing them? I seem to remember it being mentioned before but can't remember where. Great tutorial please keep them up.
Thanks, Marty. All your videos are very clear and helpful.
Yet another great tutorial - I tried a colour tattoo and it looks very realistic!
excellente..i love your way be so clear what you are doing and for me is very important you show shortcut on your video...thank you very much...

thank you very much.
very nice
Brilliant.. Thanks a million. :)
great! thanks sir
you're the man...
Man you're awesome,i want you to tech me.
good one
what displacement for?
and how did u apply for that tatoo?
awesome!
its cool,thak you ...
when I get to 6:00 any adjustments affect the entire image, not the tattoo. So when I try to make the tattoo darker, the entire image becomes black. How do I fix this? I followed the tutorial exactly as far as I can tell.
dfshjb44 At 5:50, you didn't click the Clipping Mask icon.
I'm having this same problem
thanks bro
How is it possible that I don't get the Alpha 1 option with the channels?
here's several ideas for removing tattoos
Ensure you consume enough fruit and vegetables.
Make sure you have enough vitamin C
make use of herbs which cleanse the liver including dandelion
make use of herbs with infection fighting properties including dandelion root and burdock and others including garlic
(I read these and why they work on Chads Tattoo Tactic website )
My brain feels like it's going to burst, but this is so helpful!
Imagine what my brain feels like! ;-)
Thanks! I have a question though, at 4.19. When opening Displacement, I get error, transforming masks has to be 8 bit! My wrong, or is it the tattoo?
Go to Image > Mode > RGB color, 8 bits/Channel
Thx you
I am unable to distort the the text selection that I'm using. The option is grayed out. Please help
Right-click the text layer and click "Rasterize Type".
How would i make it look like its a brand new tattoo?
like if i just got out of the shop and took a pic to scare my fam, how would i make it convincing...
thank u
Could this apply to adding a tattoo to a drawn character? I'm working on an album cover and I want to add the artist name to the girls arm in the picture as though she had a tattoo of his name.
+FortyCalCarter It depends on the style & characteristics of the drawn character.
4:52 click comand + shift + WHAT on a mac? Sorry I didnt catch that
+Barbara Mihályi Cmd + Shift +Option
whenever I get to the point where you edit the hue/saturation, it always edits the body part as well and I've followed this tutorial to a T. Have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
It could be because the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer isn't clipped to the layer below it.
why dont u tell how to make selection ?? how do i do that ?
When I go to channels when trying to get rid of the outsides of the tattoo there is no Alpha 1 just blue red and stuff can you help?
Then, you didn't save your selection at 1:18.
What program do you use for photoshopping?
MS Paint.
what is the name of application?
can someone send me a link of the picture of the subject
Cool vids
nice video marty , i cant make a copy if i hold alt 5:35 please help
It should work. Are you pressing & holding Alt as you drag the layer mask onto the other layer?
Blue Lightning TV yes but it doesnt work
sorry it took so long for me to responsd
Can't see clip-to-layer icon on 5:50!
can you plz help me?
+Sharan Gaming Press Ctrl + Alt + G (Windows) or Cmd + Option + G (Mac).
