What I learned from this video is not the technique, but the way you counter some problems during the process. It would take me a lot more time to make the adjustments. Thank you Aaron.

[@craigfeltham3318]

Amazing! I just love how you describe everything and I’ve learnt so much 👏🏼👏🏼

[@lizclayton8464]

What a great lesson on shapes, smart objects, layer masks, gaussian blur, merging layers, blend modes and more!

[@FrancescoZeioh]

This tutorial is awesome! One of my favorite so far! Thank you Aaron!

[@richardstalter5461]

I really like your technique of blurring multiple line layers and adding the core line layer to create that neon look. The only way I've done that in the past was with multiple layers and changing the styles for each. And, of course, following your thought processes on the rest of the project was very insightful. Thank you for being a guiding beacon for us PS neophytes.

I was thinking of getting a Wacom tablet to enhance my ohotoshop skills. Which do you use? What is a good one to get?

[@joshitoshi9835]

Thanks for the tut its informative as always. But i have asked multiole times for a video tut or may be a series of video tuts for creating matching single color or any background for portraits. When i cutout background from any portrait i never be able to finish it well becasue i dont know how to match it. My image stands dull and no dimention is there and if i change the color with any static color it looks awful. So i request you once again to create a series of tuts and teach us how u guys change portrait background color with clothe matching or color that make it look awesome.

[@karlodiaz2814]

What photoshop version are you using?

[@klubcj]

Why can’t I can’t find any triangle ? . I only rectangular is available, in the toolbox

[@JACOBASBY]

Please can i use a picture taken with a phone camera that doesn't have any background or has a rough background

[@phlearn]

hey there! you can use any photo. Depending on the image, you might want to remove the subject from its background for an optimal result.

[@shahinshahali]

The guy's head is in front of the triangle at the top but his body is behind the triangle at the bottom...

[@gwhech]

Yes that’s the point
