I typically don't leave comments, but I just need to say you are an absolute incredible human being and these tutorials are invaluable. You're helping so many people hone their craft and in turn help their businesses and the businesses of others. Thank you!!!

[@PiXimperfect]

Isn't that's what the creative community is supposed to be? We all rise by lifting others; thanks to you for having my back too :)

[@100200465]

True ❤

[@quirkworks4076]

I'm a full-time product photographer and, once again, your tweaks and tricks will save me time and help me make better edits! Great way to start 2022!

[@eshaqe360]

I’m a photoshop editor ✍️ it’s absolutely best technic

[@PiXimperfect]

A very Happy New Year to You! Glad you found them useful :) Thank you!

[@TobyCostaRica]

As a photographer (I am one myself) wouldn’t you just reshoot it on seamless?

[@ashanurrahman3880]

Hi

[@mikephiri1256]

do you have a page for your works

[@photon_visuals]

You are such an incredible communicator and teacher, you have a true gift! Thank you for all you do and the continuous support for those wanting to learn... One of the best editing teachers on KZbin

[@ibbyali1819]

Honestly, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. You’ve been helping my graphic design career since last year. Happy new year to you:)

[@PremiumTS]

All of your content is well thought out and easy to follow. Thank you for taking your time on these tutorials and most importantly sharing them for free! You are amazing!!!

[@Mr.RohitRajput]

These tutorials are some of those rare videos which people usually search for but can't often find relevant video. Amazing tips. Thanks Unmesh on behalf of everyone

[@PiXimperfect]

Appreciate your compliment! Thank you, Rohit :)

[@francequirion9547]

How this quote from you is true and edifying to read: "Isn't that's what the creative community is supposed to be? We all rise by lifting others" Thank you so very much for your invaluable tutorials all along the years, always given with this full of life energy. I have discovered you 3 or 4 years ago, and always a fan!

[@nicolasguillaume2264]

simply amazing. You are some kind of a super teacher. I love that you give a summary at the end. It helps the brain to register your tutorials even better.

[@hadyanfakhri5967]

I'm a brand owner of shoes product and I love this kind tutorial, please make more content about product retouch. This tutorial is gold.

[@dexterity1974]

As someone starting off in product photography and retouching... i would desperately appreciate more videos on product photography editing or retouching. There are some very cool retouching tips/tricks out there that i'm sure a lot of people would enjoy. :) Im still struggling on how to use metallic looking gradients for metal and light reflections lol Your videos are always amazing and you have near single-handedly taught me Photoshop

[@AndrzejRusinowski]

Absolutely the best way! I use this technique almost every day. Sometimes i make dedicated shadow template to use for a series of "same shape" products. It speeds up mu workflow.

[@b_drgn3111]

I've been using Photoshop for about 25 years and I don't usually leave comments on videos. Thank you for providing such nice tutorial videos on youtube. You are an absolutely incredible man, best wishes 👍

[@eispalast1]

I am not even a photographer or graphic designer and will probably never use any techniques that you show, but I still watch your tutorials because they are so relaxing and you have such a positive vibe.

[@syedfaizanali7366]

your smile.....and explaining the concepts in detail....Great

[@ShaudaySmith]

My shadow and masking game has increased ten fold because of this channel. It's amazing and so essential for improving skills in easy to follow methods. Thank you PIXimperfect.

[@PiXimperfect]

Delighted to know that, Shauday :) Thank you for your support and I truly appreciate you watching the content!

This guy is such a great teacher. Amazing video.

[@troycarson1]

Best photoshop channel on KZbin. Period. Thanks man.

[@batuhancokmar7330]

A small tip about correcting distortions. If you took the photo yourself or you know which camera and lens model was used when taking photo, its better to use automatic lens corrections. Not only it will perfectly eliminate distortions, it will also correct for vignetting and chromatic aberrations with just 3 clicks.

[@toddlehman3457]

Brilliant. Another great video! Thank you for this 🙏

[@amirsukuna9840]

Thanks. Perfect as always.

[@digwillhachi]
