Getting Started in Photoshop - Episode 1: Layers Overview

[@rupertwu2662]

No doubt, Anthony is the best teacher in KZbin. Clear and concise!

[@gpdoyon]

Agreed!

[@kurtissutley1485]

I have no doubt you have the easiest presentations and explanations on the web. I used you tutorials for Lightroom and have graduated up to Photoshop. At every opportunity I recommend your videos and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for taking the stress out of post-processing. Please keep up your great work. For all your loyal followers, I thank you.

[@AnthonyMorganti]

You're very kind! Thank you!

[@Bloggerky]

Very useful. There are a lot of us who use LR, but don't have an easy transition to PS. Getting the concepts down, before plunging into a lot of mind-numbing detail, is an excellent approach. Thanks!

[@peterwilliams6114]

The VERY BEST Tutor of Photoshop and Lightroom on the net - Mr Morganti , we salute you , sir !

[@KillaRockG]

There are a lot of PS and LR tutorials out there but not everyone presenting them are "teachers". You are very easy to follow and understand plus you have a very calming voice, lol! Thanks so much for taking the incredible amount of time in creating these videos to share and educate us. I just want you to know that you are truly appreciated.

[@michaelmcphee2930]

After a decade or more of using Lightroom and now with it being subscription only and having Photoshop available I'm dipping my toe in the water and giving PS a go after being intimidated by it forever. Ive looked around and your explanation of layers makes the most sense. Thank you.

[@DavidGodwinCalico]

I have been using Photoshop for years mostly for color, light, contrast, etc. adjustments and cropping. I have not used the other tools in the photoshop toolbox due to the fact that most assume that you know certain like how layers and masks work. You are the first to take me through the process step by step, Thank You! I am excited to start watching your Lightroom Videos so I can make full use of what I am paying for!

[@jimmitchell8244]

I'm really thrilled you are starting this series. There are many others out there but you go slow enough that the work actually sinks in. Have been enjoying your work for years.

[@baltasokolade]

OMG this was soooo helpful, i have photography package of Lr and Ps and finally I will be able to understand how to use PS. Thanks so much, lets keep on learning :)

[@avs4365]

Presented in the clearest language at an excellent pace that didn't keep me hitting pause to unravel the points made. Thank you so much.

[@tedroneous]

Seriously... who are the 9 people that thumbs downed this video... it is very simple and incredibly helpful. Thanks for posting this Anthony!!!

[@matt268uk]

Basic user of PS and LR and have watched hours of your videos. Thank you Anthony and look forward to the next instalment.

[@compasspropertiesnow]

Thank you Ant, I am excited about the new series. You are the best out there!

[@stevecallaghan4640]

Anthony you are such a good teacher! I have followed your tutorials for some time now and am very pleased you are doing a series on Photoshop. I now feel confident to transition from Lightroom with a solid foundation because of your easy to grasp teaching style. I look forward to future tutorials.

[@gabriellacassano]

I am so privileged to have found you, you are the best. Thank you for what you do. I was losing my mojo in photography and you have inspired me once again to raise my level of education.

[@whc389]

Good teacher with a voice that keeps me interested. I'll be watching many more of his videos. Thank you Anthony.

[@rutkatal]

THANK YOU, ANTHONY, SO MUCH FOR YOUR PERFECT INTRODUCTION TO PHOTOSHOP. YOU ARE AN EXCELLENT INSTRUCTOR AND I LEARN MORE AND MORE FROM ONE SESSION TO THE NEXT. THE VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFUL AND THE EXPLANATIONS SO PRECISE AND CLEAR! FOR THE FIRST TIME I FEEL THAT I UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS. ALL THE BEST AND THANKS AGAIN.

[@ryoungs2kayak]

Excellent job. I first caught your episodes on Lightroom, and enjoyed your calm and easy-going workflow demonstrations so much that I sought you out specifically when I decided to learn Photoshop. You move at exactly the pace I need and that can follow. One thing though, I am certain you mean to say "we" photographers (as in "we are photographers") and not "us" photographers (you would never say "us are photographers"). Just a niggling little thing that really grates (I am an educator myself) Sorry for the mild criticism, and please, please continue to teach. You are by far the best on the internet, in my opinion.

[@aduakwa]

What a teacher! Love the analogy between algebra and calculus! Learning at the feet of the best.

[@niftytwo]

Well Anthony. At long last you have me totally unstuck. I’ve Religiously followed & saved all your Lightroom tutorials and I’m at the point of now following your Photoshop training. Make ‘em easy for me Anthony. Remember I’m older than you & not as smart. I’m in for the long haul & I’m determined to not let you down & not to let myself down. Thanks Anthony. Neville J. The Old Aussie.

[@lissyjean-pierre2040]

You are amazing! Thank you for helping begginner photographer understand and see that anything is possible. Knowledge is power!

[@phyllisblanchard]

OMG!!! I'm really very excited about this series you are going to do as Photoshop intimidates me. I haven't watch this first episode yet, but I know I will be able to learn/understand it from you. (I HOPE!) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@genevievelaurin5675]

THANK YOU!! This is the video I needed. I've seen many of your other videos and they helped, but I always felt that I was missing the basic grasp of layers that I should have to use Photoshop and feel like I know what I'm doing. You are really an excellent teacher, I'm a fan!

[@seanchristopher1827]

Anthony you absolutely have the best series by far on LR and now that you're doing PS, I'm ecstatic. Great timing my friend. Be sure to let us know how we can help you along the way. You make a great contribution to our craft and it certainly does not go unnoticed. Now on to episode two!

[@avia3089]

yes!! I was waiting for this episodes.. thankyou

[@01mrlek]

You are a great teacher. So often tutorials are just too hard to keep up with.

[@rainmannoman]

Loved it Anthony. Was looking for exactly sth like this as a beginner. Can't wait to go through all the episodes. THANK YOU.

[@moSahl]

Thanks Anthony. Looking forward to the coming episodes.

[@Ilene1020]

Thanks so much for this new series! I learned LR thru your videos & hope to switch from my Elements 12 to PS CC just as soon as a new Mac desktop is released. So very timely for me. You are a tremendous teacher & I've learned so much from watching your videos. Looking forward to the next one!

[@geo80551]

Thanks Anthony.Morganti. I just ordered a Wacom small tablet for photos. I use 2017 photoshop. Great information you have on all your videos. Very tough learning curve for me. But with your videos I came along way.Thanks again.

[@zsnugz1]

Thank you Anthony, you taught me Lightroom now I can move on to another level. Looking forward to this series.

[@nainaperis3400]

Thanks Anthony! Your videos are always amazing. I love LR and absolutely can't get around PS:( this series will surely help build up my confidence:)

[@bt10ant]

So happy to see this new, updated series. Thanks so much.

[@tcconner7388]

Great first Episode Anthony! I'm sure this new series on Photoshop will be a tremendous help to many photographers like me! I look forward to future Episodes! (I hope Archie is coming along okay!)

[@annematthews9481]

Excellent! I'll look forward to further episodes in your series.

[@ignaciovarela1587]

Hallo Anthony, thank you for your classes about Photoshop, your detailed explanation helps me to understand the features Photoship has to offer 👍

[@dariobrajkovic6145]

Ok.. I'm just gonna say it. You are the man!! I watched all your LR tutorials and they helped me a lot. The way you explain everything so easy.. Just.. Thank you and keep up the good work! :))

[@rileyandrew4377]

A great video series to keep coming back to - you've got a fantastic talent for getting straight into the good stuff in a clear and concise way. Cheers!

[@Red_E_Read]

Thanks Anthony. Looking forward to this series as I haven't really used PS too much as currently a LR person.

[@Celestialrob]

Thanks Anthony, love the way you explain stuff. I always seem to learn something when I watch your tutorials.

[@mattrobinson3947]

Very easy to follow. Thank you Anthony

[@pjculbertson55]

I REALLY appreciate this new series!

[@mdturnerinoz]

Great stuff! Glad you are filling in my Photoshop knowledge-gaps!

[@eileencpa8979]

I learned LR with your youtube. You the best! now I want to learn PS. I am very happy to find your PS KZbin here!!

[@richhughes2225]

Thanks yet again, Anthony. You are excellent!!

[@merissawakefield4637]

Oh I've been hoping you'd do these! thanks Anthony, looking forward to the series!

[@meredithpottery]

As always, so helpful, clear and effective. Thanks again!

[@jacotla1]

Great job. I've looked at other demonstrations; yours has been the clearest. Great job! Wish you professional and financial success.

[@petrahattingh8013]

Can't wait for this series, Anthony!!

[@alexandrawingate5610]

Agneta Ekman Your way of teaching works for me. Thanks a lot!

[@trever5573]

Excited about this series

[@dcdavidrcunningham]

very decent introduction into photoshop and kudos for making sense out of layers,,, love your analogy with algebra and calculus . Looking forward to continuing series ;)

[@Karel.C]

Looking forward to more episodes.

[@MarioxJolienSpiderFreak]

Nice cant wait for the next one :) I thought you already had a serie about photoshop... I awesome how u can explain such difficult thing and make it so easy to learn us. great job Antony :)

[@jona.vagabond]

you're a really good teacher. I appreciate your work

[@richdt]

Anthony, this is a great addition to your tutorials and I look forward to it... though I fear my 64 year old brain won't be up to the challenge. I've been coming along and improving using Lightroom but Photoshop looks to be much more complex. Thanks again for the effort you put into these videos, it's much appreciated.

[@BobG-eh5fc]

Another awesome video, reminds me of some of your previous photoshop videos. I think your simple explanations on what photoshop does and why you would do it helps me better understand photoshop. A simple recommendation i think it would be valuable to explain in this series why LR is better for some things (raw) and why photoshop would be better for other purposes (layers, masks), at least from what I know.

[@patriciarosario7854]

You're amazing! You make this very easy to grasp. Thank you for taking the time to teach us !

[@JasperVerelst]

Another well explained and easy to follow tutorial, thanks !

[@ladydayification]

Your videos are very easy to follow. Thanks!

[@ladydayification]

Great Video! As you stated, will you update these videos soon?

[@guppy2022]

Nice, I can't wait for next week.

[@wahabdilawar]

Thanks to you... I have become sufficiently efficient with Lightroom. I do hope to learn more of Photoshop from you too. Thank you very much for your time and effort.

[@stamzevel]

Thank you very much.

[@joennick1]

Looking forward to this!

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

Attending Anthony Morganti College is fantastic.

[@BretBihler]

Really great information for a beginner. Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you for watching!

[@vsizikov]

Oh, nice, nice. Exactly what I needed: Photoshop for photographers! :) Would also enjoy the On1 Photo RAW series ;)

[@luispaxtor2680]

Terrific video! Great ifnor geared for us that want to use PS for editing photos and taking use of the layers feature.

[@melissakorenek3083]

Photoshop is so difficult to learn. I bought an online course but felt it was too overwhelming so I never even completed the course. What do you recommend to learn Photoshop? Thank you for all your tutorials. They are easy to grasp and I enjoy them thoroughly.

[@kfacpa]

Seriously great simple and concise!

[@DrgnSpawn]

Really looking forward to this series as PS is still an untamable beast compared to LR for me!!!

[@balinov]

thank you Anthony, great initiative, keep these videos coming pls!

[@drivingjack]

Looking forward to the series. I am a LR user who wants to get more into PS. Thanks!

[@glennturnbull8568]

Hi Anthony, thanks for doing this video series, something I'm very interested in. You've taught me everything I know about LR over the last 18 months or so, and I hope you can do the same for PS. Everyone who has been helped by Anthony, take a look above as to how WE can support him, so that he can keep bringing us these insightful videos! I have changed my Amazon bookmark, so that he earns a few cents on everything I buy via Amazon. He has 235,000 subscribers, if 10% of us sign up for the affiliate program via his website, i'm sure it will make a difference. Thank you Anthony.

[@kathyroberts888]

Thank you so much for this Anthony. I wish I had this from the first time I started with Photoshop, I have been blindly stumbling around in it for years now. This is terrific! I look forward to the next episodes. I do not have CC I have the version before it went to the cloud. Can you advise in your videos where you would go if you had an earlier version please.

[@lizkeyser1540]

So happy I found this. Thank you!

[@freddavidson8996]

Good clear explanation. Thanks

[@aquarioamico6604]

This is what I need. Thank you for posting it.

[@joegodwin6818]

I have tried to learn Photoshop through youtube and have found it very confusing and difficult to follow the fast talkers. Thank you for slowly and clearly going from the beginning it makes all the difference.

[@alwheeler7734]

Enjoyed!

[@amansahu7260]

must needed series ! Thanks

[@avia3089]

I learned a lot about lightroom because of you, is time to move on to Photoshop

[@benpowell3277]

Thanks for posting the tutorials on PS and Lightroom they have helped me to grow in my use of Lightroom and now PS. I have a question as to open images in PS and not have the information border around them. I have not found any place to hide it. Your images being showed are just the image and no border. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated because this is driving me crazy. Thank you, Ben

[@swmient]

Excellent, thank you

[@TheCmcyclist]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@charleschrich]

[@jimmybcs]

In order to understand more thoroughly, is there any suggestion that we could do some simple exercises? Thank you Anthony.

[@chuckclymer6497]

Awesome!!!! Can this be used as a replacement for LR?

[@richmondtigers1963]

G'day Anthony from Australia. Thank you for your Video tutorials Firstly!! I watch intently, trying to learn when i get a chance on the computer. Im wondering whether you will possibly cover Luminosity Masking in future lessons of Photo shop for Photographers? Thanks very much for all your hard word presenting these informative lessons!!

[@senzomagagula7112]

[@aliblack9144]

[@greg2970]

Thank you

[@blakkcigarstud]

Hey Anthony, thanks for the new tutorial. Where would you recommend we go to find pics to practice layering? Or should we start using our own photos?

[@kasiaagata6192]

Thank you! For this episode. :-)
