Man, George ... you are so prolific in your production. Excellent, high quality training, in abundance and for free. I can hardly keep up with you as my schedule this time of year is pretty busy, but I will definitely check out all your latest videos. The PSE2024 training I purchased is excellent too (am about two thirds in, am learning lots). So to anyone who reads this: Get the course! It is just as excellent as these videos, goes into debth, and isn't expensive at all.

Wow, thank you! (and I am sure you meant "goes into depth" and not "goes into debt")

[@bentkm]

@@HTGPhoto ha ha yes of course. Sorry for the typo! I edited it.

Once again I learned something new... Thanks George. I enjoy and learn so much from you!

[@HTGPhoto]

You're welcome Debra!

Another super video, a great technique and yet again learned so much. Your teaching method is consistently clear and concise. I totally agree with the previous comment, everyone learning PSE should have your training course, it’s first class - you do an amazing job George and it’s appreciated, thanks

[@HTGPhoto]

Thanks again! This really is just a matter of practice makes perfect, been doing these training videos for 20 years.

Thanks

A really HUGH THANKS Anne. I don't make much from my KZbin videos so every Thanks donation really does help.

Thanks so much for your tutorials. They have been so helpful. Can you show us how to fix the fuzzy areas at the top of her head and around her hair? I've been using your technique with photos of animals and am having difficulty cleaning up around the fur. When I use the refine edge tool, I end up with smudges around my subject.

[@HTGPhoto]

I will do a video soon about how to get the most from Refine Edge, but it depends a lot on the original image. Fur can be really difficult, I have had good luck in the past with faking fur to give it a hard edge again. Here is a rather old video from my other channel where I use a grass brush to fake fur on a fur hood, the same technique could work with live animal photos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqXYkJqGjsSdbc0si=8dYexCX37mjEa4V-

[@HungryHappenings]

@@HTGPhoto Thank you so much. I'll take a look at that video!

[@HungryHappenings]

That video was perfect! I love that you showed how to use the grass brush to make fur. I am going to go try that now on a grizzly bear photo. Thanks, again for all of your helpful tutorials.

[@HTGPhoto]

@@HungryHappenings You're welcome! That fur trick is one of my favorites. Took a quick look at your channel, loads of fun.

Hi George. I'm confused. When I go to your training log-in page and select "Log into HTG Photo Coach" which I purchased on your intro deal, it opens up to Elements 2024 log in and not the Photo Coach.

[@HTGPhoto]

You are right, that link was pointing to the wrong page. It is now fixed and pointing correctly. To save you time, here is the link howtogurus.com/htgphoto/wp-login.php
