Thank you, Marty! I was laid off from my job about six months ago and I spent at least 3 of those months watching your videos...which were the starting point of my learning to graphic design. I've been working as a freelance for two months now, making more each month than at my old job and could not be happier! :)

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

+Dank951 I'm glad my videos have helped you! Thanks for letting me know. :-D

[@GlitterFallout]

I can't thank you enough for breaking this down SO thoroughly! I'm not a Photoshop whiz by any stretch of the imagination, and you made this easy, understandable, and perfect to follow. Thank you!

I've had photoshop before, and never really learned anything about it. I learned more in your tutorial in less than ten minutes than I ever have. It's like opening FL studio for the first time. Thank you so much for. I really appreciate it.

Thank you for the video. It's awesome. What should I do to have the same effect on a hi-res photo. I want to print as a big poster Thanks

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Start with a resolution of 300 ppi. The setting amounts in some of the filters need to be increased due to the higher rez.

Hi Marty, thanks for the updated tutorial. You said in the tut you were changing the resolution so the filters would work. Would you please explain a little more about this and how resolution effects the filters? Thank you in advance.

[@feelingsmusicop]

thanks for tutorial

[@samarmstrong1978]

Great tutorial but have a question - I have done two and they worked great but on another one once I go to add the background colour after going through the halftone filter gallery etc. it doesn't work I rebuilt it twice and still get this issue. Very confusing. Thanks

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Since it worked for your first two, it's more than likely that something is amiss on the third one.

[@earlcousins6635]

Enjoying your videos! Thanks! A few version back PSE had a told, like a paint brush, that let you paint over an object to erase it and PSE would automatically fill in the area. I finally up-graded to 2021 and I can't find it. Is it still avail. and if so, where do I look? Thanks!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

If you upgraded to PS CC 2021, there are many ways to fill in or "erase" an entire area ( i.e.: the paint bucket tool, the "delete" key, layer masks)

[@adamstevenson4532]

Another Great tutorial. For some reason all you tutorials the audio clips the first syllable of each sentence, or is it just me?

[@miabreckon2019]

Great video, really easy and really enjoyed thanks xx

[@olivierw.2270]

Since the keyboard shortcuts have changed with new version, many of the command you give do not work. ANd since you do not give the alternate way to pick these. I am stuck...For instance the "ALT+DEL" at 5:58 does not work, and I am not sure what to click to make this happens.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

Thank you for your comment! The only command that I know of that's different now is the shortcut that repeats the last filter, which is now, Alt +Ctrl + F. The command, "Alt + Delete" is still the same as it was. It's the shortcut that fills something with the foreground color. An alternate is Alt + backspace.

Okay so this has been the most helpful thing I've seen, I'm just having a problem seeing the color layer at the bottom. It stays in the black and white and idk how to fix that. Edit Nevermind 😆

[@savingaidan1494]

Hey there, (Sorry for such a long comment & bugging you w/all these questions. I haven't used PS in forever & remember basically nothing & everything else is new so my questions may be stupid. But..... I'd appreciate any help your willing to offer after being so generous with your tutorials. It seems like most tutorials on KZbin give directions for the image to stay digital, but I want to print mine so do I change anything in this process for print quality images? Like higher resolutions or pixel sizes, darker colors? Do you know what printers are best to print these types of pictures? inkjet or laser printing? I'll have to print @a print store & I know they will try to get me on higher $ printer so to know if a cheaper printer will work just as well will help. Since I'll be doing the work at a library does windows still come with Photoshop or is this now software you have to purchase? Also if the computer I use has the older version you speak of do you still have your tutorials for the older versions, can I find them in the file folder you talk about as well? Since I have to do the project elsewhere & save it to a thumb drive. (Can I even do that?) if so how do I save the finished photo? Is it like other windows products where you file- save or save as? Will all PC's recognize Photoshop pics as just any other pic, or does the PC have to have the Photoshop software to recognize the picture(s) as a saved image w/all the details & changes? Sorry for all the questions but I'm trying to do this project for my sons 25th Birthday which is only 3 days away & w/such limited time I want to make sure I have all the instructions & info right before I start. I live on a tiny limited income & can't afford to get him....well anything really so the cost of a couple of prints @ the print store is all I can afford so, if I don't get the info right I have no backup plan. Which again makes me even more appreciative of your time, in both making the tutorials & any time you might take to answer my questions, thank you, seriously...... thank you, so so much for your generosity of spirit. Id actually like to talk to you about a few other things if you have the time??? I don't know if you do this for a living, just a hobby, or side job but If you would be generous enough to contact me I'd like to discuss a few things with you. If your willing too my email is my KZbin name no space's with 1021@gmail. [e-mail] Thank you so very much for making me a happy Mom. Have Great Day!

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

+Saving Aidan For printing, use a resolution of 300 ppi. The type of printer you should use depends on the type of images you want to print. Lasers are generally better than inkjet, but speak with a sales rep. Adobe offers Photoshop through their "Creative Cloud" subscription. Older computers aren't powerful enough to do many of my Photoshop graphics. Thumb drives are fine; just make sure it has enough storage. After you complete a PS project, to save it, you either flatten your image or make a composite snapshot and save that. Save images as jpgs or pngs. Sorry, I receive dozens of requests everyday to help people with their projects and to answer questions. I barely have time to answer a few emails. Good luck.

The Width and Height don't have to be exact, however the resolution should be the same as mine to ensure that the filter effect results will look similar to mine.

[@MrAndyCretin]

@@BLTV_Photoshop ah, i understand. thanks. having such a large image was seeming to make my laptop run slow. so i just changed the size toward the end, rather than the beginning.

For some reason after I click filter, halftone Pattern and dot my image looks very different from yours which I don't understand becuase I've followed the instructions completely.

if using the technique to create a printable item can you start with a 300 dpi instead of 72 ?

Usually, yes, but this particular technique may not work as well because the dot pattern may be too small.

By the way, Marty. I saw few times how people asking you in comments to start the AE video lessons maybe, and you said you're not gonna do this in near future. It's ok, but I hope one day you change your mind though. But animations is always cool, don't you wanna make some PS lessons about animated gifs, and web things like buttons, banners etc? There is a lot of hidden possibilities and features and that would be so awesome if you cover this.
