Making Insanely Difficult Selections Like Trees Using Alpha Channel in Photoshop

Make crazy selections no matter how precise they are using channels in Photoshop. In this video, we'll learn how to replace skies by utilizing channels for mask information and select detailed objects like grass and trees or even hair very simply.
This method of making selections is like the last resort. When nothing works, be it "Select and Mask" or "Select Color Range", channels are powerful sources of creating masks to make that selection. This can be done by creating an alpha channel which is additional channel besides RGB or CMYK to hold complex masking information.
Along the way, while we replace skies, we'll also look into some tips and tricks on matching the skies with the image.

This is the only channel that teach photoshop perfectly 😄😄

[@korpen3770]

yes, and Phlearn is very good too.

[@pawaningle4105]

Bro it is ...bt jst one time watch gfx mentor channel

[@justsebastian]

You must be joking - he side tracks in most of his presentations

[@rasyidpng5437]

He is the only indian person i can understand in yt. In terms of teaching methods, language, and accent. He is perfection. Not to be racist but tbh most of indian youtubers still bring their deep indian accent when talking english, make it so hard to catch.

[@akaishuichi3732]

@@rasyidpng5437 my guess is he maybe grew up or studied in foreign country thats why

[@michaeltann-sturgess2061]

Not only is he a expert in his field but a great tutor as well

[@amandalynnfarrey9102]

I love how happy you are in your videos -- You genuinely seem to care and want to help and that's the best part - thank you for all your tutorials!

[@ashleywilson6434]

I absolutely adore this guy. I just found this channel yesterday and I'm already hooked. His explanations are perfect - just enough information, and not too much. He doesn't assume you already know how to do anything in photoshop, always explaining every step of the process, and the why of it, but not in a way that would bore a seasoned user. Thanks Unmesh for making such incredibly helpful videos!

[@rambleon7882]

you are an awesome (and imho, the BEST) instructor of Photoshop!!! Many video teachers are way too slow...you cover so much and explain so much in a very reasonable amount of time. Sometimes, if you go too fast, I just move the time back a few seconds and i can hear it again! But I'd rather hear a lot of info compacted in a wonderful few minutes than listen to a slooow explanation of so little: blah, blah, blah, blah... oh how that makes my head hurt! lol! I always go to your videos first, and that's usually all i need. Thank YOU!!! (caps = not shouting, just used for emphasis, lol :) )

[@mickofarrell1631]

Jeeez! I've been using photoshop everyday for the last 30 years. They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I love this channel!!!

[@AshZombola]

You’re amazing. I’ve been retouching for 10 years and I’ve learnt more in a week than I have the last few years. Great tutorials and, very logical explanations and my favourite - super efficient! 🙏🏻

[@Artistram3d1]

You've described channels like no one else has before and made it understandable. Thank you, I will use this! I also want to say that your excitement when you teach is really cool!

[@m.e.bentoo2271]

You do it with a smile, with joy, clarity and understanding. Just don't skip any steps or assume we (I) know what you are talking about. So, repeat. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I followed, it worked! Oh my. I am the God of color!!

[@kennethpaige7036]

HI Umesh: Your videos are so excellent that I no longer refer to other PS tutorial sites. Your voice is clear and your speaking rate is normal, not fast like so many other tutorials. Also, your explanations facilitates learning PS. Thanks so much for your hard work and dedication to educating PS users worldwide at NO cost to viewers.
