Pls i need photography

[@sathishnaik6499]

Teach me piximperfect

[@satriaariwibowo1118]

Forget the hundreds Dollar of seminar, you are so great !

[@PF2K7]

You are, by far, the best source of learning Photoshop on KZbin and have helped me so much in my career. Thank you so much, and keep it up!

[@wuyangfeng]

The AI tools I have here are more powerful than yours! and free

[@barrylee6256]

I've never seen the blend if option explained so simply yet amusing, keeping me engrossed. This is another of your great talents. Cheers

[@dmm092158]

The tunnel graphic section was great. A very comprehensive use of blend-if with many real-world uses.

[@pmkansara]

I am not a pro. I am just a hobby photographer, taking and editing pictures only for fun. I learned some basic Lightroom techniques and was mostly using them. Before I watched any of your videos, I only knew how to open a Photoshop and use it like MS Paint.😄 I was so intimidated by Photoshop, I never thought that I would ever use it. When I started watching your videos, I got inspired to purchase Photoshop and I slowly got better at it. And after watching this Photoshop for Beginners series, I got so good at it that when I edited some photos of my friends using your techniques, their minds were blown! I am still way far from being an expert, but your way of teaching gave me confidence to keep learning it. When somebody asks me how I learn Photoshop, I recommend them your channel.

[@LimitlessLivingOver60]

I’ve been using BlendIf for years, but never realized the full potential of it until watching this video! Wow! Thank you!

[@VisionbyNoble]

This is extremely pertinent information if you're looking to be a photoshop professional. This entire series, free, is worth more than literally every course I have taken, and I've been to Udemy, Linkedin Learning, other KZbin channels. Nah, this the one.

[@Dartheomus]

There is no one who compares to your teaching style. I've learned more about editing from you in the past year than I have in the last 20 years of screwing around with photoshop. Absolutely amazing work!

[@goshakmal81]

20 years such a lie

[@Dartheomus]

@@goshakmal81 Shit you got me. I started in 1996, so technically that's 27 years. Fuck, I'm old.

[@sophiaelizabethdelvalle]

​@@DartheomusI can imagine how bad you feel. I've been trying to look for good instructors on subjects I want to learn. But there's just so little of them.

[@kikon78]

You are by far one of the greatest educators of the platform (I didn´t just say phostoshop because your pedagogy is amazing against any field of teaching)

[@NatureRoamingSoul]

I literally said out loud, "are you kidding me!", within 10 seconds of this video.... this looks so much easier than dealing with channels to remove backgrounds with trees...

[@hashb.l.o]

The best teacher of photoshop.

[@edwardanderson3506]

I refer to these videos often. I love how you hold our hand while coaching us to ask questions. Concepts! Concepts! 😀

[@brucesorrell3647]

I've avoided "Blend if" like the plague until this morning. Many thanks, my friend, for making the incomprehensible understandable !

[@AG_before]

It's ridiculous how simple you make things that are otherwise daunting. Thank you for _every_ video. 💯

[@murthara]

I can’t begin to thank you enough for all you’ve taught me over the years!!

[@user-pb4dv1be5t]

ive been using photoshop for 11 years and im still learning a lot , always something to learn from this guy even on his "begginer" lessons

[@hieuvu9787]

hmm, how? 11 years and still learn like begginner? this is impossible

[@user-pb4dv1be5t]

@@hieuvu9787 Photoshop is always evolving, so there is always something you might be missing out, or a different way ( and sometimes better way) to reach the result you want

[@sophiaelizabethdelvalle]

​@@hieuvu9787He continues to learn even after using Photoshop for 11 years. These begginer videos have taught him a lot and has added more tricks that he can use in his work as a photoshop expert. Education is continuous. I hope this helps.

[@madisn]

This is your BEST video ever. I have been struggling with blend if for years. I have been a very long time subscriber and the way you explained the 'how' behind 'how blend if works' in this video is different (better for me) than a lot of your other amazing tutorials. The science behind the workings just made things click with me. Thank you!

[@LJ-qc4om]

You talk fast and yet I understand your lesson. Thank God your lessons are free here on youtube

[@user-kb2vu3ed9w]

you're amazing! one of best teachers ever! adore your videos, explanations!

[@cactsai]

I've watched dozens of your videos from start to finish, possibly close to 100 of them and I've learned SO MUCH from you. I was trying to describe your channel and video style to my wife and the best way I thought of to explain your teaching style and approach was to say "he's the Reading Rainbow of Photoshop." lol I know that's silly, but you make it so easy to understand, and your approach is very pleasant, so it makes learning these concepts easy and fun, hence "Reading Rainbow" (for us Gen X kids, people younger than me, like yourself, may not get the reference).

[@DonovanBrown]

You have quickly become my favorite instructor. This is incredible content. Thank you.

[@johanssonstudio]

I really learn a lot from your Photoshop videos! They are easy to understand and follow. I also enjoy that there is not an over abundance of talking about unnecessary things like how your computer was made or the code for writing the Photoshop software, unnecessary rabbit trails that have nothing to do with the lessons. Thank you!

[@IKSRTFO]

You are definitely the best instructor hands down!!! Thank you my friend! God bless you!!

[@matlynwood6225]

OMG thank you so much. I just learned more about blend-if in this short video than I have tried to understand in the last 3 years since I found a way to use both photoshop and Lightroom and not have to hide from photoshop.

[@sangio_davese]

A wonderful technique for fine-tuning hair highlights and changing highlight color and saturation around the 5:45 to 8:00min mark. Very good that all your walk-throughs are non-destructive.

[@Dezzasheep]

Blend if is one of the best tools in PS. Its transformed my retouching over the last few years.

[@birkhoffkirikou4350]

Thanks for this priceless tutorial. Your in-depth knowledge in Ps is so amazing 😍🤩
