Full round of applause! I myself and a beginner in photoshop and you blew my mind with how easy and efficient these tricks are! I honestly subscribed the minute you fixed the color of the edges, you definitely know your stuff!

[@frannavarro4332]

This is prob, the best video about selections and integrations on PSD on the history of KZbin. Thank you so much for not just repeating what the 99% of the other channels do.

[@joseluisgarcia-j.3826]

I've watched your video and i must say it was great to learn a lot of Photoshops details paying attention to your explanation. Thank you very much for sharing this.

[@leespendlove4925]

Incredible tutorial. Thorough, well paced, spoke clearly. Very helpful. Thank you Cristi!

[@SamiKhan-rf8si]

How could I not subscribe after such an amazing tutorial. You are a great teacher!

[@tylervelasquez5639]

I think this is great! Been doing this for years and just now starting to test out adjustment layers to select better detail

[@whitneyvillers4280]

thank you for this! i struggle to absorb the information in a lot of adobe tutorials i watch but this one was actually super helpful and clear to understand.

[@j.pocket]

Great video. I took hiatus around 2018 and a lot has changed since then. I'm glad to know that my initial theory about the techniques used have not changed. It's one thing to "Defringe" and allow the automation to make key assumptions about your intentions. A more narrow field of "spray and pray", so to speak. However, taking the extra steps to refine the mask and Shifting Hue & Sat of infringing outlined color is so perfectly surgical that it helps keep professional retouchers employed. A few extra seconds can be all the time in the world when you're trying not to be replaced by cell phone applications. No doubt that using this tutorial will produce the best results for those interested in or earning a living through compositing images. Thanks for the work you're doing here. Your content is always clear and succinct, plus you stay on topic. I have been able to get back up to speed on all the enhanced capabilities in PS and LR thanks to your content. I feel like just saying "Thanks, bro" wouldn't match the quality I've received. Cheers!

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

You explained this really clearly, I think even kids would would be able to get this! I wasn't necessarily looking for this tutorial, but I have definitely learned something, and will hark back to this in times of need!

[@d0ublethink]

Fantastic! These are the kinds of Photoshop techniques that separate the pros from the amateurs. Non-destructive editing, great use of adjustment and clipping layers, other things I know I should be doing but usually don't 🤣 Subscribed.

[@user-ll4dw3ti6c]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@thomasvandingenen7594]

Finally. Been looking for a video like this for ages. Thank you so much!

[@Leo-kl1dh]

Great tutorial. In the latest part, if you add a complex background, with many different colours, instead of the solid colour and the mask, you can have a copy of that same background (with the mask), and the colour details on the leaves (or whatever you have) will match the background perfectly.

[@BrianWilliamsja]

This is the greatest tutorial tip i have ever learned ... Thank you Cristi... you earned my like+subscription half way through this video.

But on the hue picking if you had any blue in your image it would adjust that too, this only works if the fringing is a different colour to the image

Like 501. :D Thanks for this video. I do a lot of game design and need good PNG textures for many of my models/assets and it drove me nuts I kept getting white outlines or what we see here. I'm good, really good, but never would of thought of using a hue method to blend it in so well. Cheers!
