I watch and enjoy all your videos, but this one is outstanding. It clearly demonstrates all options/functionality of selecting a subject . This video really adds value. Thanks so much.

[@davevowles8093]

Hi, I watch and like but rarely comment, but this is the best concise demo that I have seen. You have been very explicit which makes following far more easier. Thank you.

[@Bob76075]

Best and most useful tutorial on masking I've seen. Keep up the great work Anthony!

[@PhotoTrainer]

THANK YOU Anthony. For some of older psd users, the new tools are overwhelming with many new parameters. I know Adobe means well. Just exploring these from the hip, (as we are wont to do) makes things WORSE. I am grateful for this lucid, practical, evenly paced and understandable guide of a tool we so often need. ~TEU

[@youpamp]

Anthony, you always offer great tutorials with just a little more info, with less words, than those already out there. Thanx!

[@4vedas]

Thanks!

[@AnthonyMorganti]

Thank you Satish!

[@davidrhodes207]

[@Dori6996]

Easy and straight to the point! Thank you ❤

[@sinora2349]

You are the best explaining everything so clearly!

[@walterdantas1]

This is the best instructional video I have ever watched. I will now follow all your videos. You definitely have the skill set of both Photoshop and that of an instructor!!!!!!

[@redkitedesign]

The best video I've found explaining the select and mask process, thank you!

[@davidpatkovik648]

in my version i cant see select and mask

[@fionalang2700]

The very best explanation about this more and more complex function! Best tip is how to find the old selection-tool, which I was missing since your fabulous tutorial!

[@NakedInSeattle]

Really loved this one! Great job!

[@knut7141]

Best tutorial out there for subject selection. Love the shadow tip.

[@ericwebb1301]

500% more helpful than Adobe's own explanation of this tool, for which humble thanks, but fact is for everyday pics. outside of studio-type images of the type you demo. here it's bug-y, beastly, next to useless. Believe me I have tried, practically reduced me to tears!

[@MattArmstrong-h7s]

Hugely informative and helpful video. Thanks so much for putting this together, Anthony.

[@4vedas]

Another fantastic video. So well explained. Thanks

[@keiththompson3208]

I've watched many videos about selections. This may just be the best basic video on the web.

[@leniehulse1621]

Anthony you’re the best!!!!! ❤️❤️

[@rudolfowalchonzo2356]

Thank you. Perfect Video. Greetings from Germany

[@danielsahagun4367]

[@x4aSh]

Perfect Anthony!

[@jlopez7596]

[@birdie399]

Thanks for a helpful and informative video. You’re right in the intro, this process can be confusing.

[@ChuckRiley]

Great explanation

[@gadgetfellow]

very good, much appreciated

[@susanmeyer8885]

Still learning PS. Thanks for this video. Really very well done and easy to follow.

[@johnpollock6996]

Very detailed and well explained video Anthony. That this video was >22 minutes compared to your typical video of perhaps 10-15 minutes highlights the complexities of PS vs LR in all of its variants. Thanks and I look forward to next week's classes. I'm in for the VIP level.....because I need repetition ad infinitum.

[@sunilchristian3430]

Thank you!

[@007Yasir]

Is this the only way you can go back and re adjust the image mentioned here 20:50 , the only way is the History tab?

[@johna.benigno4172]

Thank you very much, Anthony -- this is the best Select and Mask video I've seen. One question. On my computer (PC, Windows 10) Real-time Refinement is grayed out. Any thoughts?

[@nadimhaider5631]

Hello Anthony, Very Precise but easy Tutorial. Thanks for that. But I have an issue with my PS. I am using Apple M1 Max Studio. But when I go to select and Mask option REAL-TIME REFINEMENT option is grayed out. I am using PS 24.7.0 Version and Beta as well. I have tried to find solutions in various places but no real thing. Can you please help me on this?

[@adsfaedaer]

thanks, that's useful. The one thing I have problems with when doing this stuff is with the +/- quick selection brushes, whatever I do always ends in disaster, are you brushing the selection out or moving/nudging it to where you want it?

[@jlr3636]

I mostly photograph birds, I edit with LR. When I use select subject, sky, or background I often get a thin halo around the edge feathers. Will using the method in your video help with a more defined edge? Do you have a video which focuses on masking birds? I often feel like the image selected for a video is chosen so it will perfectly reflect the desired outcome however when I try to apply the method to my photos the result is less than perfect. I realize I might be expecting instant perfection and I need to refine my skills. Would love to see a video on masking birds with clear sky and a cluttered background. Thanks for your videos

[@gmonc8912]

Hi Anthony, When I make a selection using the refine brush tool on the hair, for some reason it starts to remove the hair instead of it adding it, would you know why this is happening???

[@TheFujiwuji]

1:20 I'm running Photoshop 24.0 and the "Select Subject" button that he talks about here does not exist. And the "Select and Mask" button does not exist either.

[@leniehulse1621]

Did you get this resolved?

[@MasterJeret]

where can i bring back the properties in select and mask workspace

[@swashyhimself]

When I darken my background I got horrible blurry outlines on my subjects. Sometimes I can manually mask the thing blurry outline back out but often it doesn't show until layers later when I've already added a bunch of adjustments. It's horribly annoying the subject is the easiest thing in the world to mask with a clean background. The only thing that is tricky is that i used a low aperture on my photo so the edge of one arm is blurry. How can I fix this? It's infuriating not being able to do a basic operation - brightening subject and darkening background

[@TheMaritzaAhyee]

i cant get refien in realtime to show up why is it grey

[@handyarifin4941]

i cant show the select subject line/ why

[@KapilGarg-e7d]
