In this Photoshop tutorial, we’ll look at the Channels panel and examine how to duplicate a channel to extract just the information we want from the image. We’ll use Levels and a cool brush tool trick to finalize our alpha channels and we’ll cover what an alpha channel is and how you can use them to create complex selections, save those selections and then convert those selections to masks on adjustment layers to localize effects and adjustments in your images. It’s a powerful tool to know how to use and can really save yourself with some difficult selections.

[@missioncreekstyle3814]

I like this one, Nathaniel. Ol' skool selection a la "Channel Chops." This reminds me that there are many ways to create a selection, but sometimes the best ways, are the old ways. Keep up the good work.

[@missioncreekstyle3814]

BTW, I DM'd you on Twitter regarding NAB.

[@tutvid]

Channels are awesome!

[@alexnikon7898]

Thanks for tutorial. What about complicated ( I mean lots of mixed colors) backgrounds? What methods would be better to use?

[@gobigpoker]

Oh yeah, I noticed you did that in a previous video and I didn't know you could do that!

[@aydenghotbi]

tutvid is great. Regardless of what he teaches, he knows how to teach.

[@tutvid]

Thanks for the love, Piper!

[@MrHale]

[@karankumar-vo6ht]

Another great video.. Hope you will get not 1 but 10 million subscribers. You deserve it.

[@coffeebrownies583]

👍👍👍cool

[@ricardolima3418]

Hi Tutvid, How can I Export tô watch on a TV. Using pendrive ir DVD? Please

[@amwartwork]

channels has its place regarding selctions. mainly trees.

[@BossMonsterKaiju]

Question: Could you use the same strategy here in After Effects to pull a sharper key?

[@tutvid]

In theory, yes. Isolate color channel on a duplicated video layer and use a Calculations Effect to combine channels and use Overlay blend mode and then add a Levels Effect and boost the blacks and whites and use a Luma Matte I'd have to make a tutorial and work out all the details, but it'd probably work something like that, haha

[@BossMonsterKaiju]

Awesome. I’ll have to try that myself. Not sure it’s any better than a chroma-key but it’s always fun to experiment!

[@AyushDak]

Please Make A Video On ROTOSCOPE In After Effects By Pentool and Roto Brush Tool please Sir

[@fottomeerdanalleenfotograf6536]

Every time I go back to my image with the selection on, I can still paint in & outside te the selection. Someone can help?

[@vincentnavea6999]

what if i want the text to remain white?

[@3wny]

7:35 it takes a little bit of tables, ladders and chairs?! 😂😂

[@ShaharGal]

9:00 creepy!

[@reminiz]

Whats with the banana in your toolbar bro? :)

[@tutvid]

It's just a little easter egg in Photoshop. It adds a little color to the UI

[@GKOALA7]

I'm not fully certain if anyone else has mentioned this to you at any point, but your videos as of late have been a little yellowish-greenish hue to them. It's not so evident when you show the screen capture of your screen. It's really evident -- and I mean REALLY EVIDENT -- when you're on screen. Your skin especially looks very pale and green. I don't mean to be negative. I just wanted to give you a heads up just in case you weren't aware of the situation. Still loving these tutorials, nonetheless.

[@bazwillrun]

yup, totally agree, looks all washed out, no clarity, contrast needs a boost..

[@3wny]

When are you making the autotune video?! 😭😭

[@guillermosanchez9656]

I'd suggest to speak a bit slower, great contents, thanks a lot.

[@Soda_Lemoon]

For some reason your intro are so annoying.

[@SKLL3TR]

man make a useful tutorial plz stop throwing any videos on youtube

[@frasergaffney]

This is a useful video... I've been having trouble removing the background around hair and this guide was really helpful to me!
