short and to the point, I like it.

[@borisdau1741]

That's what's making Alan Becker's tutorials very unique.

[@Dry4Haz]

omg yes, please make more photoshop tutorials

[@supermariofigureboyfan4392]

Dry4Haz yes yes yes yes!!!!

[@GugartsAnimations]

Simple, quick and direct! Awesome tutorial! Next one can be how animate on PS, doing keyframes, inbetween, etc..

[@kevinsandoval9567]

Alan said: that for animation, Flash is better

[@barbaravandongen6257]

Fantastic quick tutorial! A concise, well-paced overview of Photoshop - ideal for students and beginners.

[@pilargodina9978]

Cool, Alan! Thanks for teaching us, and for doing VERY COOL animations. Good luck man!

[@brockdenson]

I love doing Photoshop and you got me into Flash. I am so glad you made this video! Thanks!

[@Madcatcomix]

Pls keep making these. I have been looking for tutorials that are easy to understand for over 1 year, and i almost gave up until i found this channel.

[@sc2033]

Please post more videos! Love this and 12 Principles of Animation. You do a very nice job of breaking things down while being succinct, entertaining, and chock full of that extra bit of useful information that no one tells you. Would love some After Effects videos if you use that software. Also, more Photoshop and Illustrator or InDesign videos would be great too! Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

[@rubberonion]

this is going to be the new resource I send someone who wants to start using Photoshop but is intimidated by the tool list and doesn't really know what all Photoshop can do... great work Alan!

[@GiulioMoura]

This is brilliant, u should do a serie or something like that! Congrats!

[@TheShahzebShaikh]

more please! Love the way you explain!

[@CluelessEngineer]

This is the best photoshop video Ive ever seen. And if rather be learning from a pro like this guy who makes animations.

[@Nocthena]

Awesome Video, like to see even more and deeper Photoshop fast tutorials in the future. KEEP IT UP :D

[@Andyman620]

can you do one on making animations in photoshop?

[@Allenimations]

eyyyyyyyyy funny seeing u hereeeee

[@BrunacraftGM]

+Andyman620 I personally recomend animating with Flash, but you do what you want ;D

[@Andyman620]

I already animate with flash, but I want to learn animation in multiple programs.

[@Allenimations]

Making Animations in Photoshop is hard.

[@ToffeeLime]

+Andyman620 It's nearly the same as flash but you have to open the .GIF editor.

[@gigadread]

Leaned some neat shortcuts. Thank you.

[@CreativeFosse]

Thanks for sharing! I've been working in PS for some years now but only (!!) with the core basics... I'm more of a Flash-guy and uses PS only when needed for basic stuff. I've played with PS to try out some stuff but since I haven't known what tools can do what in some ways I didn't knew excisted, I haven't learned so much from it. But thanks to you I now know a bit more than I did few minutes ago. Thanks again! PS! I would really like to see more of your knowledge here at YT. I keep on learning a lot from your videos... :)

[@SlimeyNinjaV]

If everybody tries to talk about Photoshop, they most of the time keep their mouth shut about these cool tools besides brush tool. Good thing I now know how to use these. You saved me a lot of work!

[@irisx]

Great tutorial! Would love one on work paths using the pen tool. I'm using CS2 and currently I use the pen tool to carve out a shape, and then basically change that into a selection then fill it in because I've never known any other way, that is to say never learnt how to change it into a more vector-based shape?

[@joshuadang91]

Very direct/to the point! Thanks

[@techtipstricks5611]

You are not only an animator but also a best teacher!

[@lickylickyonmyblicky2462]

Thanks for this awesome and simple tutorial. Now, I'd really like to know more about photoshop and know how to animate with photoshop.

[@redstonepig9701]

Your tutorials are amazing! I'm just a kid, and I love animating in Flash. I also sometimes use Photoshop. Keep up the good work!

[@jb35056]

Still a kid?

[@AdamNoone]

I use photoshop alot for youtube and general graphics design but even I would like to see more clarification on the spot healing brush, mostly the other tool options as I haven't used them before

[@lachiecasso1405]

Hey Alan, can you do a tutorial about creating, editing and using Photoshop Brushes?

[@Ocarin_]

I love this video

[@Rubens_Amaral]

thank you! it helped a lot

[@gingerfloofy]

I'm taking one of my computer graphics course in animation majors.. I'm having a hard time dealing with the types of brush to use for digital drawing or painting. We use cintiq computers for it and I'm not really used to digital drawings.

[@l1kovi673]

This is the best youtuber ever pls answer on this.!

[@NewGame666]

Alan Backer, first, I think you one of the most talented people in this world. Your animations simply look great! How do you do so smooth animations? :)

[@greenspartanligado]

+NewGame666 Tweens. Tweens everywhere.

[@gator652]

+Geometry Dash Chromulus In an animation sense and in an age sense XD

[@greenspartanligado]

Wolf Does Things every smooth animation has tweens.

[@OdieTheGreat]

[@DarwinV]

[@lmao-mx6tx]

[@Numpey]

A couple questions: 1. Can you use videos in it? 2. Can you use a variety of colors for the tint?

[@gamium3173]

4:02 Thanks for helping me make this. But how can you crop stock images with white backgrounds (shape is not square) and save them, so when you open it in a video editing software, it does not have a white background. Can you please understand me this?

[@ZHARX1]

How can you zoom in and out and how do you make the brush tool bigger or smaller? Can you do one time a video where you make a huge introduction to Photoshop with all tools and maybe sign all parts in description where you show how to blur things or rather just copy something? It would be really, really nice, if you do. Got my Sub

[@DanichkaBoy]

Круто___ молодец!!!

[@valentinlopez5629]

1:01 That was the perfect moment to highlight the subscribe button instead of the little area that you highlighted

[@driftking370z]

can you do a tutorial or basic start up to digital painting on photoshop

[@VarunVC]

please make one for Ps CS5 basics as well :)

[@XCFORLYFE]

You're awesome. Just thought you should know that.

[@10upstudios]

Could you by chance teach us the basics of the animation production process? What I mean by this is the bigger picture, not the necessarily the actual animation. Just an overview of from story to storyboard to animating to editing to post-production, etc. I haven't seen anyone cover a topic like this

[@xNiqueish]

I learned more from this 5 minutes tutorial than other 30 minutes tutorials.

[@unarei]

can you do one on making shadows in photoshop. I've been using the gradient tool and it doesn't work that well for that...

[@_thejakhmola188]

this tutorial was very good...pls also make a tutorial on explosions that end with a shockwave and a mushroom cloud....

[@cesinha019]

i love you

[@ricardoalcaraz689]

what proframs do youse for your animations likeminecrafr vs animation

[@Ryotaiku]

Is there any way to select an image shape and mold it into a different shape? Like select a bending line and mold it to be straight?

[@allthrone7492]

what is the keybind to bring up the sizeing on a smart object, so you can rotate it and resize it.

[@keehinmccann6276]

how do you make a selection bigger or smaller when you put it on a different doc in photoshop, like the selection on a different layer how do u make it a dif size. :P

[@Hungaryball]

You did not said at the end that if you save png files which don't have background or just a non filled area then it keeps it if you open again, but in jpeg don't have this feature.

[@marcchristian1039]

Eyy can you do a video about motion guide on flash?

[@Joe-jw9jy]
