    I'm just learning Photoshop. His explanations are clear, slowly derived and understandable, and easily followed. I have been viewing many Photoshop tutorials, and most do not explain the "why" of things. This guy does a fantastic job. The pace is perfect: just try and follow someone posting a "short." No can do. Kudos to you!

    What a gem of a tutorial. I've watched a variety of tutorials and usually felt more lost that helped. This has been the exception. The teacher is easy to follow. He doesn't talk and work so fast that you can't keep up and understand, and his insight is amazing. I highly recommend him and hope to find more of his tutorials.

    Excellent tutorial. I mainly use Lightroom, and occasionally photoshop.I have struggled with layers for years, picking up tips along the way. Guess what - your instruction to make sure that you are working on the mask for white to reveal, black to conceal is the first time anyone has made that clear to me. Thanks Mark, great stuff.

    I jumped into digital art a few days ago, and watching my favorite artist is a bit fast-paced for a beginner. I appreciate your deliberate and trustworthy method of teaching. 🙌🏼💓

    This has been the most concise PS tutorial I have seen thus far. I'm new to PS and have been searching for a tutorial where the person teaching moves at a speed and with details that make it easy to follow along and also to understand. Thank you so much for this video. I finally understand layers in a way that I feel confident that I can sit down and enjoy creating a piece of art that I can be proud of!! You have a great teaching style.

    OMG! This man has shown me (in very easy and intuitive form) more in the first 1/3 of this video that I've already been using Photoshop for in the past 6 years. I have subscribed now and am SO looking forward to more tutorials. I shall grab a cup of coffee, when I can, and watch and follow along until I "get it" and then look for next lever of expertise for me to learn. Thank you SOOO much for these videos. I am a photographer and this is adding so much value to my Adobe Creative Suite monthly subscription. Thanks again!!

    One of THE best explanations of Layers and Layer Masks any where on TH-cam, and with examples provided. Brilliant video, demystifying a subject and techniques that have frustrated me for a year.

    One of the best tutorials that I have watched. I have been frightened of PS for years, mainly because I never understood layers, but now I want to learn more, especially from the school of photography.

    @slmj615 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I am new to Photoshop and I've been checking out a lot of videos to get started. I have watches some great videos, but none of them brought the concepts of layers and masks in like this one did. The presentation and teaching style was enough to make this subscription adverse guy become a TSOP member.

  • @dorothy135
    @dorothy135 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is the best tutorial I have watched - and I have watched a lot. I'll have to revisit the adjustment layers and curves sections again but really helpful. I learned quite a few things like the right click to select the layer. I cannot believe I never heard that one before.

    I have to thank you because I am trying to get into photography & have been doing online tutorials for PhotoShop. I appreciate your slowness and repetitive style so I can learn. There are a lot of moving parts. I also like you and your personality so am considering taking your PhotoShop comprehensive course.

    Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I have been a long-time Photoshop 'novice'. I am beginning to finally grasp the concept of layers and you have helped me greatly in better understanding the adjustment layers. I will have a lot of fun playing around with this going forward.

    Marc: I came across this randomly while looking for Layers tutorials. This has to be one of the clearest beginner overviews of what I previously thought would be a difficult and complex topic. Well done. And it led me to your TSOP site, which I'll be joining.

    Very easily understood diction. Concepts were explained well and the level of assumed knowledge was kept low so beginners will have no problem following along. Very long video with lots of information. The course ran 1h4mins in length but it took me about 3 hours to complete because I completed each task as he did it on screen. The course is a little deceiving if you just watch it, he makes it look very simple, but you really don't get much imprinted learning that way. You really have to do as he does and the photos are provided to do that. I will definitely look for other videos as I expand my knowledge of photoshop.
