You honestly make the best tutorials in a perfectly balanced way between complexity and the importance of understanding something. Thank you

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Philip 154! Thanks for the comment!

[@Gottaculat]

This beats my time as a student at the Illinois Art Institute, and it didn't cost me $600 for one class in one semester. Those classes were such a scam. College can blow me. Thank you for these awesome videos!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Goattacular!

[@spiderous]

Yeah, the same situation in Poland with regular universities. A lot of people attend them just to get a degree but they don't teach you anything unless you want to learn it by yourself. I know it improves search skills and you can meet a lot of new amazing people but it's the worst possible way to acquire new information.

[@55455]

wow. i love how you explain everything, even the smallest parts and repeat them, like all the shortcuts, it's really easy to follow along to even if you're a beginner. great videos!

[@dusanstevic89]

Jesus, your tutorials are extraordinary. An amazing display of thought process that is a must-have for PS proficiency. Newcomers usually need basic stuff and fast results, otherwise, it gets discouraging if it is too complicated. Your channel has the basic, intermediate, and advanced material. Sure, I can reproduce what you just did mechanically, but in these advanced videos (at least for me), you demonstrate the true power of Photoshop and give me the incentive to carry on learning. Anyone can change the color of an object on a white background, but when I come back to some of your videos that seemed advanced to me until some time ago, I say to myself: "I fully understand that now" - it's priceless. Thank you for being a great teacher and helping me to understand the meaning of the process and not solely mechanically learn the tools.

[@Omikoshi78]

I didn’t know there was this much depth to making composite. Thanks for opening my eyes. Mad respect for everyone in this field.

[@dalehardin8690]

The thing I like about your tutorials is not just the subject at hand, but all the individual tips and techniques that are used to create the end result. I may never have the need to create a see through bottle, but will certainly have use for all the tools used to accomplish it. Thank you.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Dale! I'm glad that you like those extra tips. I also think that's the most valuable part of the tutorials

[@DocPit45]

Massively helpful. The PTC course on compositing has been the single greatest help to my moving to the next level. These tutorials greatly enhance that experience. Thanks!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Anthony! I'm glad that you found it useful!!!

[@scottsaraceno]

Wonderful tutorial! Concise and very helpful.

[@MikeGiovinazzo]

WOW - such amazing eye for details, and the insights to simulate the required realism for a truly great result. I would have been done at the 10 min mark. You are upping our game.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Mike! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@rgarlinyc]

Very helpful - thanks Jesús R. for all the steps and clear explanations! (especially the Color Dodge and internal distort + blur tips - they really made things realistic)🙏👍

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, R Garlin!

[@morningwood3457]

I’m glad you sped up the parts where you worked so we can see what you do instead of just skipping to the finished part. I suggested the speed ramp to you before, I’m happy that you’re doing it now.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

👍🙂

[@nikolettkiraly7714]

This was one of the best tutorials I've ever seen, wo wo wooow! Thank yoooou!!!

[@carlkristensen8398]

This video is nothing less than brilliant. It keeps me amazed in how many ways you can twerk Photoshop, every time I think I have seen it all, You come up with new fantastic ways of doing it. I think that the dislikes must be from competitors that do not like to see someone passing them by in skills ……………....…….

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Carl! I appreciate that!

[@ignoigno1]

Grateful to have such an advanced Photoshop user explain clearly something so complex for me. Thank you Jesus.

[@charmolettafranquestafiestayam]

Thank you so much for these. Every single video I learn like 20 new things it's so great. I can't wait to practice these until I remember them by heart.
