[@ericmoller1890]

I have been a teacher (Visual Arts) for 34 years now... and I am inspired by this man's incredible teaching style! Clear, concise, logical - everything you need and no irrelevant or confusing chatter. Thank you sir - you have opened up Photoshop for many of us.

[@joeljacq7486]

I couldn't agree more! His explanations and his further examples to demonstrate are extraordinary learning value. Having professionally worked as a Photoshop imaging artist, l found this informative and knowledgeable even now. So good for the younger gen and anyone that loves visual arts. Cheers, mate.

[@TheBearcub77]

Your tutorials are some of the best I have ever experienced-your teaching style is incredibly clear, well-paced, easy to follow and full of wonderful examples and tips. It's so helpful that you quickly remind us of keyboard shortcuts you are using as you go along instead of just whizzing around silently and leaving some of us in the dust ;-) I have experienced this with other tutorials and have to play them over and over to get it. I love how you respect the power of the tools, but also point out the limitations of various techniques. What really comes through is how much FUN you are having when working with this phenomenal digital artistic tool, and that enthusiasm is infectious. I am expanding my photoshop skills in my retirement years (adjusting to using tools less often AND memory issues) so these are great refreshers I use to "tune up" before a project. I will be exploring your other content. Thanks again for taking the time to teach!

[@danyf3116]

I'll tell you why you stand out, compared to the other Photoshop KZbin channels out there, as far as teaching goes. You do a summary of the verbal diatribe that you have just pushed in a well versed, soothing voice. Thanks for no background distraction when I learn something new for the first time. If I know something about the subject, then music is not a distraction. My brain works in a specific way and it likes coming here for tips. I feel like I have just come out from, a convention on Photoshop, with a head full of new ideas. Kudos, Umesh. Well done.

[@65Drums]

YOU ARE A GENIUS! I have to cut products out of white backgrounds all the time, and it takes forever with masking. But now this trick is SO FASTER. do the fast work with the eraser (find edges and tolerance of 12%), make a mask of it, shift the edge and feather, decontaminate the colors, and DONE! 10 times faster

[@siypic]

Absolutely........... genius...

[@junkfoodeater]

When you get good with paths in ps thats the fastest and proper way for packshots and also required by some image banks and used when printing. Is often used in Indesign at the layout stage for overlap etc

[@harshalsarode8283]

You can just use color range and select the white in the image and delete it in seconds.

[@65Drums]

@@harshalsarode8283 Sad to say its not that simple. My products have a lot of light silver and white in them, so that method doesn't work at all.

Great video! I've been retouching for years and never used this tool. I can see it's limitations, but it's still a far better option than the magic wand or color range in separating and isolating objects from complex backgrounds. I've always used a variety of techniques like duplicating color channels or just hand cutting alpha masks using brushes and lasso tools, but this is a game changer. Thanks.
