I am pretty sure that there is not one person in the world that knows that program better that this absolute legend!

[@feelcollins4358]

Unmesh chuckles

[@the-secrettutorials]

@@feelcollins4358 Ironically he just dropped a video today stating that the single row marquee tool is useless so this point goes to Brady ☺ But yeah Unmesh might be the best teacher out there when it comes to explaining stuff

[@federicozorzetto7213]

man for real, just listen to the first minutes of the video. It was a Mind Blowing explanation

[@procrasti86]

They say different parts of the brain handle creative tasks and different ones handle problem solving, maths and other technical stuff This man uses 100% of his brain and it's amazing to watch what he comes up with

[@jpineapple9495]

he has a gift we as traditional artists don't have.

[@ndc-01]

This is impresive. This guy is the Jimi Hendrix of Photoshop.

[@jordao420]

outstanding statement. very true

[@Crist_]

I'm speechless, i'm been using photoshop for 20 years and I don't know how but you always find the way to impress me and make feel like i'm a newbie in this 😅 Thanks you so much!

[@biocykle]

My thoughts _exactly_

[@ScreamToTheSkyS]

this!

[@shonthelawn]

I hope you're incredibly wealthy (or at least very financially stable) because you honestly deserve it for sharing these tutorials. No one else even comes close.

[@davanti]

I've been using photoshop professionally for over ten years and have built a lot of actions in my time and feel quite strong with my skillset, particularly in hotkeys and quick use of the software. This is hands down the greatest photoshop video I have ever seen. From the INCREDIBLE edit with all your visualisations, to the little bits of knowledge (that actions look for the first layer with that name from the bottom of the layer list???), this is a phenomenal tool. Thank you so much, you have a new subscriber for life!

[@1000bouddhas]

I have no idea how your brain came up with that but the process is as genius as the result. Amazing!

[@juanmoralesvideo]

The GOAT Photoshop user is the one who can do anything he wants using Photoshop. Inversely, Brady can make Photoshop do whatever he wants.

[@dv6165]

These tutorials not only showcase cool effects and expert level Photoshop use, they are the best explained tutorials i've seen anywhere on YT. The amount of work that must've gone into explaining depth maps and distortion is insane. Also, the pacing is excellent. Meaning that if you're already very familiar with those concepts it's still interesting and fun to watch. Excellent work!

[@geoffreywoytt]

I haven't even watched the video yet, but I see "Texturelabs" I thumbs up. You sir are a master of the craft. The way you break down the steps into steps that aren't too difficult for the beginner to follow along while also not being too "step-by-step" that could upset the more intermediate and advanced users is truly something no other KZbinr has quite nailed down as well as you. Keep up the great content and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community!

[@Texturelabs]

Ah thanks so much. Striking that balance is tricky - I have one instinct to power through in 3 minutes with only key points and another to take 2 hours on the thing!

[@MTajvidi]

You are a true Photoshop wizard. Thank you for these awesome tutorials.

[@robertbeattyart]

I've spent years trying to achieve this effect successfully in Photoshop (and have gotten very close!) but this is unreal. True mastery of the program! Anyone interested in the origin of this effect check out the mindblowing 70's video synthesis of Bill Etra's Rutt-Etra Video Synthesizer as used by Steina & Woody Vasulka.

[@Texturelabs]

Wow great reference, thanks!

[@TrevorDennis100]

I've used Displacement Maps for many years, but just one aspect that made this so useful is that I now have a much better idea how they work, so we can better predict how our depth maps are going to affect the image. That's golden.

[@neobaggins3718]

Man, wasn't expecting it at all, but this is the perfect tutorial for me. This is the perfect solution to creating cool art for my laser engraver!

[@Texturelabs]

Oh man that's a great idea!

[@pyro8831]

I've been using photoshop for over 7 years now I have never seen anyone or anything in level of your knowledge about this application You are goat man 🙌

[@matteomenini9001]

complete mindset of the designer = Texturelabs, multidisciplinary with a personal touch that is normally missing in the possible portfolios and works of designers

[@emiroviski]

This channel makes photoshop look so unfamiliar to me. Every time i watch a video it’s like i’m meeting this software for the first time…

[@Noovbl]

Incredible tutorial. Absolute peak of Photoshop guides on youtube

[@bitterboyblue]

Anyone else here auto LIKES anything Brady uploads even before watching the whole video? The way this man understands the inner workings of Photoshop never ceases to amaze me!

[@ZrhioZ]

AI is afraid of this guy! Seriously I love each one of your tutorials, I've seen all of your videos and every time you publish a new one I'm completely sure that I'm going to learn a new tool that I've never used before. You are in a different league than any other creator when it comes to Photoshop.

[@Texturelabs]

Thank you, that's really nice of you to say!

[@TheEyesore]

Incredible tut as always, Brady - I guess your brain works different than us mere mortals. Not only is the effect itself awesome, but I really appreciate all the work that went into the animated explainer parts of the video - totally elevates this to an S-tier quality tutorial!

[@involutionOcean]

Great stuff. Always genuinely useful and original material on this channel, so many channels just clone each other's work with minor variations. Brady comes up with techniques I haven't seen anywhere else. And the sidebar that keeps track of each step really does make it easier to grasp the process. Keep up the good work man!

[@CarcPazu]

Every time I think I know Photoshop some dude shows up and bring me back to earth.

[@Fnoucky]

Ok this is the best photoshop / after effects channel. The amount of mastering and creativity is absolutely insane. And thank you for how you deal with AI, this is important.

[@MikeJovani]

You're an absolute gem to the community. We appreciate you.

[@EddyTritten]

If its too good to be true, it's probably a texturelabs tutorial

[@uberkup]

The level is so high that even watching the steps gives great pleasure. 🙏

[@WesMaizter]

Very very excited for a new Texturelabs tutorial.

[@nicolasdesimone284]

You just blew my mind. Amazing, amazing job and a better explanation!

[@TheSmartology]

This is genuine, impressive and genius.

[@SocialMediaDale]

Another amazing tutorial. Keep up the great work.

[@AdamSchoales]

Man, this guy is putting out banger after banger! I don't know how you figure all this stuff out but it's always impressive and I watch every video because no matter what I know I'm going to learn something new. Some of the best tutorials on KZbin, no question.

[@djvertical]

Absolutely top tier. Your skill set is truly awe inspiring! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@nakleh]

wow, that was a wild ride! the production value of this video was really excellent too

[@southcrest.detailing]

Brilliant effect!

[@lilecho]

wow. just wow, impressive

[@yeknommonkey]

Amazing skills to not only do this but to explain it and show it so clearly. thanks!

[@sebastiendemartel31]

Amazing ! What pixel control ! Still as incredible as ever, the best photoshop tutorials. Thanks brady !

[@eddyjuillerat835]

Pretty mindblowing.

Best tutorial... Ever. Motion designs on the way are just incredible I learned sooo much! Thanks Brady!

[@mygirlmurphy3501]

Always amazing. You are so dang talented. I appreciate the natural curiosity you must possess in order to come up with these unique ways of using Photoshop. What a gift!

[@joonashaverinen8508]

Brady, you are amazing! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@infinitychamber]

Dang my dude, stellar tutorial. Thanks so much for making it. Detailed but to the point, easy to follow, and a dope end result. Cheers.

[@sergio1991M]

Genius as always.

[@ericfrisard2060]

Crazy technique ! Amazing !

[@DaftRebel]

This is why I'm subscribed for! Thank you for igniting the creativity and the motivation for R&D on the graphics design field!!!

[@Elvis.D99]

dude your tutorials are absolutely insane

[@piol333]

Your knowledge is from the future and from another planet. I must watch it two more times to understand it ;)

[@bethspencer1001]

This amazing. May have to try.

[@human.786]

If photoshop has only one master, it is definitely you.

[@AaronNeedhamArt]

God damn. Insanely impressive. Rad looking. Thanks!

[@cinzabreu]

You always blow my ming with this tutorials. I use photoshop for 22 years. For the last 14 I use it professionally almost every day, keep up with all the updates, and I would never come up with something like this. Generating a 1 pixel height psd for the depth map in an automation is something I would have never dreamt of.

[@Silent_Sniper]

Once Again, Just Amazing! Thanks so much for the share, and I just cannot believe how well you know Photoshop. Just Absolutely Amazing. Thanks

[@CalpitalTTech]

PURE GENIUS.

[@cocasurfboards]

You're just incredibly intelligent! Excellent tutorial! ✨️✨️✨️

[@user-cl8vn1mz5w]

for me it's just unreal to reach this level in even a lifetime, thank you for sharing`

[@gregwill500]

One of a kind of genius. really amazing.

[@MidanRoxy]

Vraiment, vraiment, vraiment au dessus du lot ! Way, way, way above everybody else!

[@mikec2845]

Your increased production level is noticed! Great work man

[@user-nr6vi2gj4t]

Mind-blowing🤯

[@Rio-by1eh]

Displacement mapping- man I remember doing this 16 -20 years ago. No matter this is a very GOOD EXPLANATION OF HOW THINGS WORK. ❤

[@PanosSpiliadis]

Amazing!

[@mitchhamstrung1679]

ooo this looks like a goodie, can’t wait til I get home to watch it all the way through

[@luchifex]

Mindblown 🤯🤯

[@phillwatson9274]

Amazing. I've been using Photoshop since version 2, pre-layers. It's not often I see someone use photoshop like you do.

[@cxfocus905]

The depth in your tutorials 🤯🤯 also the depth maps

[@RanggaAyesha]

You guys are awesome, never fail to impress me by the design that you present and how you explain it step by step so everyone can learn how all of it work! Wish you guys all the best in life bro!

[@user-un3wr9ri4l]

I have watched tons of good Photoshop tutorials, but nothing was so clever like this!

[@thedebapriyakar]

Another masterpiece

[@bat_nick]

Your tutorials are incredible, I always want to find advanced videos that delve into less used functions instead of watching the same videos of "how to change the color of a car", with your channel more than learning how to follow steps to copy an effect I feel that I learn problem solving skills that allows me to achieve what I need with photoshop. Thank you!

[@msalphaplayer5214]

That is something awesome I have seen.

[@Iliadatv]

Thank for another useful tips Brady 🙏🏻

[@kiri9979]

Thank you for knowing how this app works in such a deep level I strive to reach that level of knowledge and also HUGE thanks for sharing all of that amazing knowledge with us!

[@filippobrandini9233]

I can’t describe how much i respect your work and your creativity, you are a Master. Thank you for making this videos all of them are absolute gems. Thank you.

[@DrivLoo]

God level Photoshop skill 🙏

[@richpeacock]

So inspiring and helpful
