[@karenlodwidge2676]

Love your easy to follow instructions, Im hooked and desperate to get to grips with PS, thank you

[@tv510]

Thank you! You'll get it, it just takes a little practice. Thanks for following along.

[@jeromehutchinson1961]

Awesome lessons, one of the best instructors on YT.

[@tv510]

Wow, thanks for the kind words. I'll keep them coming.

[@pamototravel9043]

I'm extremely happy I have found your instructional videos. Re-entering the photography world after 40 years has been exciting to see the possibilities that modern technology can offer. Your videos help so much in cutting through the mass amount of information about Photoshop and getting to the practical application. I just completed lesson 2. So much to look forward to. Thank you.

[@tv510]

Hi Pam, I appreciate your kind words! It's great to hear you're finding the videos helpful. There is a lot to learn but there is a lot you can do. Good luck!

[@kevfrets]

Thank you Susan, you are very welcome. Thank YOU for watching and sharing.

[@penrox0]

I have used Lightroom for a few months but your explanation of PS has made the transition so worth while. Thank you so much … 👍

[@tv510]

Glad it was helpful more to come.

[@saramelzer5433]

Thank you Terry for your wonderful tutorials. They are clear, logical and helpful. In addition, I appreciate your pleasant and very agreeable manner. This is important because it is so easy to listen to you. I find it difficult to listen to people who have a hyped up manner. YOu are calm, and to repeat myself, agreeable!!! Thank you!!!!

[@tv510]

What a great compliment. Thank you Sara.

[@scottbohon9474]

[@saramelzer5433]

I want to express my gratitude for making this actually seem easy. I think it is your manner, in addition to clear explanations, that helps calm my anxiety over technology!!!!

[@tv510]

Thank you Sara, happy to help.

[@tv510]

Great to hear Stuart. It is a really cool program and I think you will open it up more often after these classes. Thanks for watching.

Terry you are an amazing teacher. So easy to follow and stop to explain related things without getting off track. Everything is so clearly explained and with an easy breezy disposition makes it more fun to learn!

[@tv510]

Ha! You never know when you need to remove and eye...thanks for watching.

[@jimstueck8428]

Thanks Jim!

[@peterhamilton8913]

Thanks Terry, another excellent video tutorial. I am following closely and it's all making sense.

[@tv510]

Great to hear! More to come.

[@majagoncin2394]

Thank you again for such beautiful explaination. Love the way you are doing it , please keep doing it , helps me immens .

[@tv510]

Thank you, I will. Be sure to practice some between the episodes and you will see your skills advance quickly!

[@billellis2853]

I've been a Lightroom user for some time, and never ventured into Photoshop much, most because of intimidation I guess, but your style fits mine and make much more sense. Thank You! I will continue through as many videos as I can. I am a PC user so some things are different and I have to stop and search for the equivalent action, but I cannot find how to tailor the options bar to include some of the functions you showed in the last video. Can you shed some light? Thanks again.

[@tv510]

HI Bill, welcome to Photoshop! I don't work on a PC (obviously) but I know a lot of people do. I created a list of shortcuts to make the PC use easier. You can find that at my web site: imagelight.com/freebies As far as tailoring the options bar, that is bar that goes across the top, I don't think you can make any changes to how it appears. The options appear based on which tool you have active. I hope this helps.

[@bonnyherman9196]

Thank you for producing these videos. PS is overwhelming so I appreciate how you break it down but I MUST practice between each video as there are so many steps to learn for using every tool to its max. Wow! What a dense program.

[@tv510]

It really comes down to doing some practice. I know that doing the same moves, just a few times will ingrain the ideas. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@arthurbeer872]

Terry I'm new to Photoshop ,My Raw editor is Capture One Question ,What short cut to undo a tool or a selection? My main interest is Layers and the ability to use them. Thank you in advance.

[@tv510]

Tool or move CMD Z (CNTL Z) to cancel a selection CMD D (CNTL Z). I have free short cuts lists on my website www.imagelight.com.

[@colinmelhuish1254]

At 11.41 the sample colour looked pink, not like the colour was trying to duplicate. love your videos by the way.. Subscribed.

[@tv510]

Thank you for watching. I went back and looked and the color was kind of a flesh tone that I grabbed from the bird. On my monitor it matches perfectly. This might be an affect of it being transferred to KZbin. Thanks for the subscribe too!

[@tc6912]

The crop tool: Is there a simple way to change from a landscape crop to a portrait crop or vice versa. Let's say 5x7 to 7x5, similar to using the 'X' key in Lightroom?

[@tv510]

Yes. Up in the options bar that has your sizes. In between the size boxes are a couple of arrows (facing left and right) every time you click on these arrows, it switches between formats.

[@tc6912]

@@tv510 Thank you!

[@tstewartou]

I just got photoshop 2024 but I don't see the lasso selection tool, where is it hiding?

[@tv510]

It should be the third tool down if they are all in a vertical row. It is usually collapsed with the polygonal tools. If you hover your mouse on the lower right corner of that tool, there is a drop down, fly out list of other tools in the section. The Lasso Tool should be there. Also, the letter "L" will access the tool, however, if the last tool you accessed was one of the polygonal tools, then "L" will bring what every you last used, up. Good luck!
