You are the best teacher I have ever had ! Thank you !!! :D

[@unknowjlm]

SUPER informative, thanks!

[@kdvr766]

Im clip studio but this is still a very useful info.

[@daydarasensei12]

THANK YOU FOR THESE PRECIOUS VIDEOS! YOUR ART IS SUPER-DUPER BEAUTIFUL

[@ZkoyllarTube]

I still facepalm everytime a professional ask for pixels in 600dpi.

[@raruteam]

When the video started with resolution I thought this would be a beginner tutorial but I learned more than I expected, thank you very much.

[@Mcorporated971]

yeah! I've learned to push through with these "beginners" video, there is almost always something to pick up!

[@9Sjoerd5]

My thought exactly!

[@yabeeba_com]

you would be surprised how many digital artists [professionals] dont properly understand DPI, because they never had to deal with prints. i have seen quite a few tutorials on youtube, where some professionals absolutely have no idea what it does, even some explaining it wrong. one complained he got 300 dpi images for previews, switched the dpi to 72 but never re-rendered it and continued happily working with the same amount of pixels, while believing he actually changed something. it is hilarious what you can find sometimes.

[@JamesLacroixx]

I've been using photoshop for 15 years and I still learned new things from this holy crap.

[@Loctorak]

Worst mistake anyone makes is deciding 10/15/20 years of personal experience suddenly means they know all there is to know, or can't benefit from someone else's advice. The day you do that is the day you die as a creator and probably also the day you stop protecting your brain from the onset of dementia because you're no longer open minded or thinking critically, and the only reason anyone ever does it is nothing but pride.. 😒 I will proudly remain an uninformed amateur and ask as many dumb questions of people until I'm no longer able to. I'm not ashamed of that at all, in fact I'd be more ashamed to find out I'd been rejecting help and feedback because I was so up myself

[@Mcorporated971]

mind blown by image based color palette!!!! over 10 years of photoshop use, no idea this was a thing XD thank you!

[@helsiclife]

Same!! I'm a professional Graphic designer and I had no idea about this option either

[@Mcorporated971]

@@helsiclife Now am looking forward to needing it!

[@rzeka]

You're really good at making everything look very professional

[@kliteishere9818]

Bruh he's a fucking professional

[@everydaybodybuilding2282]

Pulling out that geyser blew my mind

[@REIQ]

Damn this video is actually very informative! LOVE IT!

[@TheLightFantasticArt]

When content is so good that you sit through a long video even though you don’t use Photoshop.

[@ravaniacrescentia3643]

I can't believe how long it took to find your videos. I've never had so many APPLICABLE, relevant tips and tricks you have. This is all of the highest quality information, digestible and works for EVERYONE. Thank you so much for all your videos.

[@mrwoka]

Love the vid! I'd like to contribute with a couple of helpful tips too: - new layer with everything visible on screen: Ctrl+shift+alt+E - copy object, move/transform/rotate it and past several copies of it in a succession incrementally smaller/larger to the original modification (good for perspective and circular/spiral patterns): Ctrl+Alt+T, then move/ctrl+T/rotate, and Ctrl+Alt+T+T+T+T+T.... - make a new layer automatically underneath the layer you're working on: press CTRL+click on new layer - if you lasso something and copy+paste it it'll paste to the middle of the screen. You can Paste in place if you CTRL+Shift+V to paste it in the same position in a new layer. I discovered a bunch of new options just by clicking either (or a combo of) CTRL, Shift, Alt+commands/click. I know some of these are not really groundbreaking and maybe even pretty basic but they have definitely improved my workflow :)

[@dirtfriend]

the paste in place shortcut is assigned to CTRL+Shift+Alt+V now. thank you adobe i always wanted carpal tunnel

[@mrwoka]

@@dirtfriend Oh really? I guess I'm a bit outdated... I'm still using CS 5.5. Won't change anytime soon, I can't stand the idea of a subscription service for PS.

[@sodapaula]

I’m a semi-beginner in Photoshop (I do most of digital projects in my high school) and none of my teachers taught me about most of the tips you mentioned. I’m in AP 2-D design this year and I will need to print out my work so this video is very useful to me. So glad KZbin recommended me this video!

[@GKOALA7]

18:41 - Instead of "killing" all the layer info by using Ctrl-E, why not put those layers into a Smart Object? In fact, you could put everything into a Smart Object then change that into CMYK. The Smart Object will store your original RGB color space within itself and you can continue switching to CMYK if you must.

[@torababdullah7952]

you are a savior. God bless you and all your patrons.

[@fihrilkamal7296]

Gradually increasing image resolution is a genius step, especially if we got low end CPU, because using big brush on big canvas can get really slow.

[@aprilroseberry7691]

Except it doesn't actually improve the resolution, the way photoshop works is when you increase the resolution it samples the pixel and essentially copies it to fill in the newly added pixels. Depending on how far you go, your previous painted work will become fuzzier and fuzzier. Its the same as trying to enlarge a tiny image and getting a crappy pixilated one. You cannot create a better resolution from a lower one. It will inadvertently create depth by blurring out previous layers which would be nice, but you should be aware of how it will effect things.

[@fihrilkamal7296]

@@aprilroseberry7691 I understand that enlarging pixel will blur the image if we turn on bicubic or bilinear enlargements on the setting or crappy pixelation when we use nearest neighbour setting, but the idea here is that we use the big brush first to lay the foundations, when we enlarge the canvas, we paint over them with smaller brush for details, since painting with smaller brush is far less cpu intensive this method is really great for low end cpu. But if we got strong computers then this method is completely unnecessary.

[@mrebholz]

That’s soon gonna be a new trend: “Apply some human intelligence...” Is it called HI? I’ll add this to my skill set: HI expert.

[@kingpen]

"I hope some of them are new to you," hah, you just blew my mind. Great tips, thanks, Marco~!

[@cmdrhatchy9611]

These shortcuts will completely change how I do things. Outstanding resource.

[@InsaneBurritos]

As someone who's almost done with their graphic design program I must say I'm surprised that I learned so much from this short video! Then again, you are a master painter; tip #5 especially looks super helpful at speeding up workflow!

[@soramakeart]

The amount of education marco bucci has T^T - you're simply the best art teacher i ever had on youtube

[@modeseven8100]

Don't forget theres a Clipping Group Shortcut by clicking beneath the layer while holding Alt

[@GustavoSerranoUG]

Ctrl+Alt+G works too!

[@tomslaterdesignillustratio4391]

Been working with Photoshop since it was released. Work in PSD for hours every day and STILL so many things to learn! Great tips - thanks so much!

[@Yugi3844]

Bro you have no right making a video this good, I love it so much omg

[@nieszkako]

Amazing!! I love the trick of toggling between B/W and having that second instance to refer to! Thanks for the tips.

[@animator1982]

You my friend are the best teacher bar none. I've elevated my digital painting to new levels because of you. My eternal gratitude for all of your hard work and wisdom.

[@TheKevinem93]

You were my sensei when I started with digital painting and I never stop learning from you, Thank you very much Marco!!

[@kreativekira]

Wow! The value-checking technique was amazing. Thank you. Until now, I did it with a black layer on top of the stack.

[@berrybunny242702]

This video is so helpful! I just got back into drawing and have been trying to get into digital painting, but its hard to find resources that explain the basics of how photoshop mechanics work like PPI! Really appreciate this

[@yevheniiao.2439]

Very helpful tips. I learned all this by myself in the process of work and have been using this for a long time. It's great that many artists can find out these tips just by watching the video. Thank you!

[@slewp]

these videos are unbelievably great

[@tsorakin]

Wow Marco, baking layers is something i've been looking for for quite some time now. Thank you for this entire tutorial. This is a real gem.

[@13qviehah]

I barely leave comments on youtube videos but I feel an urge to leave one here because this is incredibly informative! I used photoshop to edit my photos for years and just only started digital art recently, I knew some tools mentioned here but never to this level, some tips and tricks on their applications really blew my mind. Definitely watch it a few more times to really take in the information!!

[@davisbamwine]

Its true what they say, we learn new things every day! Thank you Marco.

[@djerving]

This is seriously one of the best videos on painting in PS I have ever seen. Thankyou!

[@VKTRUNG]

Thank you for the tips! Especially the value checking tips is stunning!

[@micheledangelo9391]

Your videos are always the best! Thank you!

[@ninja_tony]

Wow. That last tip seems so obvious, but yet it's so genius! You just made me realize just how much there still is for me to learn about Photoshop, and I've been working with it for many years.

[@Yuuteimiya]

The BEST tips 'n tricks tutorial I've seen so far! Thank you so much for sharing!!!

[@GontijoGamer]

Marco, your videos are just perfect! Clear sound and explanation, interesting videos always, go straight to the point of interest of how is watching. Simple amazing. Just perfect! Thank you so much for helping us!

[@J.5in]

This was so helpful. The match color one won my ❤️

[@Synapticsnap]

More tips please this was fantastic! New to PS so this is overwhelming but every little bit helps and I can come back to this video and any others that help me improve my understanding of PS and Art. Thanks a ton.

[@slouistherin]

im used to tutorials for beginners where the "tips" are "how to make a new layer", so this was actually really helpful 👏🏾

[@Loctorak]

Well if it says "beginners" then you can probably expect beginner tips. This video just says tips "for digital" - they're the ones you want to look for. Even trying searching for advanced tips if you know you're at that level

[@Foxblinde]

Wow. A tips and trick video where I actually learn useful new things. Thank you!

[@acidset]

You're kidding! I just now got back into digital and was getting overwhelmed, and you came to the rescue! Grazie Bucci.

[@chrisandersen3213]

This is one of the few videos on this platform, that was worth watching from start to finish..... I learned a bunch from this.....

[@TheHenrikist]

Marco your video quality and educational value is unmatched. Thank you so much!!

[@iyado_Travel_sketchbook]

image based colour palette IS AMAZING !!! learned something really valuable !! thank you !!

[@santiagoalzate8820]

One of my favourites Marco, great tips and explanations!

[@pera676]

@Marco Bucci you can also ctrl right click your canvas and select layers that way instead of scrolling through the layer panel and isolate them if you need to. And you can shift click with your brush to change the brushes blend mode instead of clicking the box on the top left.

[@NahuelBG]

This results me incredible useful, and I been digital painting in Ps for long now. Thanks for share!

[@TechnicolorMammoth]

Bucci, I've dropped and picked back up a trade, and the things you say, I wish I had you then, but am thankful I have you now. Honestly, thank you, because you bring clarity to things I wondered if I was the only one and if it made sense.

Wow, you've opened my eyes to how useful masking is, which is great because i'd honestly wanted something like it but never bothered to research what could accomplish what it does. many thanks!

[@andresaponteart]

Thanks! I really didn't know some of these, like using proof setup for grayscale and the cmyk conversion at the end. Super useful!

Man I am in absolute love with your content. I would have enjoyed to take classes with you. I am a self taught artist and my carrier is starting to take off but in the digital world there is still confusion that can hamper my productivity. You came along with your videos and some that I bought from your website and throw pearls of wisdom but to string them together in a consecutive manner to be more efficient is taugh. You are fantastic man.
