That last method is absolutely magic! I often have to clip plants and trees to place on renderings and most are not on solid color backgrounds. Nearly every example of clipping masks for complex objects is a tree on a solid blue sky. In my work I rarely find photos that clean. I've even tried the Mask AI and so so many KZbin tutorials, asked colleagues, you name it. I've never found a good solution...until now! I can't thank you enough! This video should be included as orientation information in every landscape architecture program! Thank you!

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

Excellent tutorial as usual. You are probably one of the best easy to follow instructors out there. Thank you for all you do!

[@dunnymonster]

Wow, absolutely loved that last method of recreating the tree edges. I had no idea Photoshop even had this tree rendering feature. Amazing, thanks Jesus 👍

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

[@ctenos45069]

Excellent job, Jesus! You always do a great job explaining the techniques you’re teaching, and each time show a few different ways of using it. I didn’t realize PS had the tree generation feature and have never seen anyone talk about the defringe tool. Thanks for your continued contributions.
