Hands down most comprehensive tutorials on KZbin. Elegant workflow as well. Thanks Jesus!

[@rgarlinyc]

Yowzer! That was a *spectacular* end result - far better than I ever thought possible. You've (once again) explained a series of intricate steps extremely well! I will use *all three* techniques for my composites. Thanks a ton, Jesús!

[@Cedarsea]

This might well be one of your best videos in revealing "how to" do compositing!

These check up layer you create are extremely valuable for getting every little detail right when putting pictures together. The human eye is fantastic to see even the slightest mismatch, even when you can't tell what it actually is. So with these three layers chances are great the end result will actually be believable. Millions of thanks for all your amazing tips you give away.

[@kwiechufithu]

With other photoshop tutorial channels(on youtube), it's mostly a revision of what I already know. But with yours, there is always something new to learn about, making me feel like a beginner. And to be honest, some of the steps are hard to remember without following along in the editing process. I guess this is what other instructors' premium classes teach you. Thank you!

[@CosminSerbanDesign]

It's always weird when you can tell right away when an image is made out of two separate ones, your result looks great. Keep these videos coming!

[@AaronThompkins]

THE BEST COMPOSITING TUTORIAL I've seen thus far!!! Thanks!!!

[@DrazV2]

Learning so much and so well in these short, cohesive and super informative videos. I love how you always manage to explain a what some obscure button does and then switch to using shortcuts once you've explained what they do. These videos are much appreciated, huge thank you!

[@tanyamack1481]

You really know this program! You make it seem so effortless! So nice that these videos are here in case we ever need them.

[@guntherstopa2088]

Of all the tutorials I've seen yours are, by far, the very best. Thanks.

[@JMTBFLOW]

I've watched a few of these compositing vids now, but this one is by far the best for covering all the steps.

[@scottjanulewicz6774]

I've been researching this topic over the past few days and this one was the clearest and very well put together. Thank you.

[@photoshopeandotv]

I can only imagine how much work goes into making these videos. The techniques are great, but your clear, precise explanations and well-timed rythm don't lag behind. So... congratulations once more! Cheers.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Photoshopeando! Only people who also record tutorials really know the amount of work that goes into them.

[@govindnair20]

Amazing tutorial Jesus!! I'm not a professional designer but I really enjoy the level of detail you go into in each of your videos. Very helpful while editing the photos I take. Thank you so much!!!

[@BrandonStill]

This is the best composite tutorial I've come across to date. Outstanding job taking the time to explain on the various Photoshop tools work together and what they effect in the image. Great job!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Brandon!

[@georgecharpentier6043]

These were all new to me, but fascinating to understand what you need to look at, and how to go about making the adjustments. Thank you.

[@orawalker1]

Amazing!! I didn't know any of this and am excited to try all of these points!! I'll have to watch the video again ... and again.. however in order not to miss anything!! Thanks so much Jesus!! Your training is stellar.

[@guiped100]

me encontan tus tutoriales, siempre aprendo algo bueno. Felicitaciones!

[@Browes]

The best compositing video I've found, no question!

[@mwarth55]

wow. There was a lot going on there but what a beautiful blend of colours and luminosity. I'll definitely be watching this a few times. I love your tutorials - right to the point with lots of explanation

[@ssgssgouki]

This helped me out so much, I've never watched a tutorial on blending images because i've been using a shit load of gradient maps and thats it lol it usually works out but this was so much more easier and way more effective, I really appreciate it, thank you.

[@charlydue]

Great!!! I was actually struggling to match all this three aspects. In virtual reality this point is a must.

[@dougstringer5358]

Putting together actions for each of these three checks makes this a nice tool to use for composites. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@cody4077]

I come back to this video every time. I try one of your other videos, but this one takes the cake!!

[@johnwyliejr347]

Awesome. You tied it all together very well. I think I saw you do each of those before separately. Seeing them all work together , and the smart object at the end was perfect. Great job !

[@VirusTechKEKW]

That was sick man! Thank you. Not only im impressed by the tricks.. I'm finding out that photoshop can do so many things.. it's amazing.

[@vsshan5863]

Great job sir...you're explanation is awesome!

[@SkipMichael]

As always a great tutorial. Thank you, Mr. Rameriz.

[@KeluargaBuaya]

This is the best tutorial I've found. We have a lot of similar tutorials which offer easy ways but you choose the hardest, the most detailed, and perfect procedures.

[@recconectt]

Jesus, this tutorial is AWESOME! You are the best! Thank you so much for teaching us such great techniques!

[@TheStasha83]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! It has improved my work so much!

[@VlatkoDojchinoski]

Thank you for every single tutorial you have made!

[@fielding68]

A comprehensive tutorial expertly done. Thank you.

[@user-iq6wl6yn6q]

Спасибо огромное за урок!!! Это просто супер!!! Мне никак не удавалось подогнать изображения из разных фотографий к единому знаменателю, чтоб это было реалистично. Теперь мне наконец-то стало все понятно!!!

[@AhmedWissam]

[@locovidepro]

I love the way you explain every detail. I will practice with those tips and will let you know how it went! Thank you so much

[@mft4]

Always look forward to your tutorials.

[@AnVoPhotography]

All of those techniques were new to me. Thank you. 👍👍👍

[@SergheyKatastrofenko]

Amazing job, Jesus! Your tutorials are so clear and full of great tips! You never know how much is there to learn... I thought I was pretty good at Photoshop, until I found this channel. And man! I learned so much more than I thought I could. Best Photoshop tutorial channel on the entire internet. :)

[@creativesnark1682]

Best one ever! Learned a new trick with the camera raw!

[@BrettOssman]

Great tutorial as usual. They may seem hard, at first, but doing it a couple of times, you start to remember, and zip right through it.

[@evelynhuante2768]

THIS IS AMAZING, I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW AMAZED I AM BY ALL THE HACKS :00 I like how you explain the steps!! A little bit confusing but overall great. There was so much useful tools I didn't know their function; but ofc bc I'm a newbie to photoshop so I only use the essentials haha

[@HunterMcDowall]

Wow!!! This is such an amazing technique to use for blending images together!! Thank you :)

[@JohnChubbSr]

Pretty much all this is new, and now I see will be very helpful for compositing, which is an area I want to learn more. Lots of information and informative, Jesus. Thanks!!!

[@jerrytang9514]

Totally Ph.D. Level content. Thank you so much. I won't find this level of expertise anywhere else.

[@shortstoryabout]

Great tut. Thank you!

[@MrOnetwoseven]

None were totally new individually but the combination of all 4 adjustments was totally awesome. As usual, wonderfully explained and so helpful to my workflow.

[@tikkasharma6602]

Brilliant! Thanks for the fantastic tutorial. Love your work.

[@nduri2]

Great work, very in depth...I'm hooked.

[@milleniummoses]

That was completely new to me. My skill level just went up! Thanks

[@hblf4407]

Fabulous explanation of keys stuff in Photoshop : luminosity, saturation and color. Thank you Jesus.

[@HyBlock]

The end result looks like a GTA loading screen. 😊

[@HyBlock]

@Stefan Trevor go fuck yourself

[@HyBlock]

@Cash Creed go fuck yourself

[@at5203]

This was great. Thanks for these these tutorials dude.

[@bowtiecigars]

You're a good teacher! This was my first video, but your explanation makes plenty of sense to me! I look forward to trying this method on my images. Thx! Bowtie

[@Daddy4rime]

Awesome stuff! Really going to take my composites to a new level!

[@maximusdoomed]

Wow, just found you by accident. Extremely helpful and articulate discussion about the how and why of each process in the most concise way. One of the best video demos on youtube!!!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@Makeveliii]

This is an amazing tutorial, very well explained and demonstrated. I honestly can't like this enough, I've been designing for years and never knew I could use adjustment layers in this way. I will definitely be using these techniques more frequently in my designs, this information is so valuable thank you!

[@BrianSellers]

This is so cool! Never made a composite look so good - thanks!

[@Webkaster]

Fantastic ... Jesus Ramirez is absolutely the best Photoshop Instructor on the web!! I learn more per minute with you than any other. Watched several and somehow you get through ... thank you.

[@danielguimond1332]

Thanks for the awesome videos!, and this one is no exception!

[@madelinebrenner7806]

fantastic tutorial, thank you!

[@MrTerryRay1]

This was great, but very overwhelming. This is over my head. I can follow what you are doing, but if I practiced this myself on my photos I wouldn't know if what I was doing is correct. I need more practice to understand this kind of advanced editing.

[@TeresaTrimm]

You can't expect to learn it all at once. I watch a variety of videos. As I watch them, I understand more and more. One video will VERY rarely be enough.

[@TeresaTrimm]

That being said, this video is not for beginners, but in all honesty, neither is compositing. I look forward to being able to do the things described in it.

[@mikedelossantos4775]

Don't despair. I started this journey in PicsArt on my phone and literally felt like it was a another language with a million useless options I'd never use. 10 months later, I was switching to Photoshop bc picsart simply didn't have enough features lol. Every time you learn one tool, it adds to your overall knowledge and you'll be able to link themes. Before yoy know it you'll ve predicting what hes about to do before he does it. My advice: every tutorial, do it a few times and take the time to understand what each step is actually doing, so eventually yoy can mix and match as needed

[@cenadj]

simply fabulous! Very well explained

[@adrianokury]

Excellent lesson: pace is correct, depth of info given is adequate, this guy speaks very clearly and the concept of the tutorial is also well executed. Super thumbs up!

[@collingalanos1783]

This tutorial is very helpful. Thank you!

[@dh7139]

Wow!!! Brilliant video, how you come up with these techniques using photoshop tools is amazing, Thank you!!

[@nicholascuccia6399]

[@khurramshahzad9680]
