[@liz_alva]

You are such a great teacher. I know nothing about photo editing and somehow I got my pictures to look like they belong together. I love how clear you explain things. Easy to follow along. And I really like how you highlighted that part where you need to change the file from swatches to color table. When you clicked and the files weren't there at first, it created a tension and that helps to remember it! Thank you :)

[@evanbetter]

As a professional Photoshoper I am glad to admit that, having seen really really a lot of videos, I never came across a more talented Photoshop guy than you. The ease with which you juggle with all of PSD's endless possibilities and the way you connect it all into workflows is absolutely unrivaled. Hats off! I really thought I know a lot about PSD until I saw your channel. And above all that you have incredible teaching skills. Thank you very much for sharing your talents.

What is more incredible than the techniques you are teaching, is how adept you are at teaching subject material. Your lesson is well planned, pace and delivery are just great. The recap and summarization at the end is an excellent reinforcement. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you as a teacher, right now!

[@Daveandchieko]

Thank you so so much for all your KZbin videos, your explanations are beyond amazing, I’ve searched so much for decent turitoials but never fully got good ideas until I found your channel. I love how you explain not only the instructions but also each trouble shoots such as “why it doesn’t work or how to go back to the normal screen” and that’s what everybody wants and you instantly add them on as though you can see us on the other side of the screen, it’s like a magic!!! You are soooo goooood!!!!! I got frustrated with all those KZbinrs that do nothing but tutorials on how to apply presets/overlays that THEY ARE selling and not telling us ANYTHING and never reveal secrets until I take their overpriced courses or something. You are just killing them all and I can call you as a true hero. Thank you thank you!!! I’m overexcited to go through all your videos, I got lots to learn. Please keep doing this!!

Amazing PS skills and teaching skills Unmesh. It's so important that you mention those details like "select different file type" or "choose current layer and below" - those little problems often stop us from learning from others videos since it'a a step-by-step learning and when something doesn't work and you cannot find the reason you can't continue to follow the lesson and just abandon it.

I love your tutorials so much! You are so clear when you explain everything, and you make even complicated things seem easy. One of the things that I love the most is that you're the only KZbinr who I don't have to watch on double speed, which is a really big compliment! Everyone else is just so slow and boring and explains simple things for too long, whereas you're the opposite. I also love your big smile and warm attitude 😁 This trick is genius, and I will be returning to it when the time comes. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom!
