Always on point with these easy-to-follow tutorials. Keep it up.

[@talitasantos5316]

He is the best of all you can see on KZbin! Master!

[@ayushsati3225]

photoshop, be real, even you didnt knew that the stuff he does is possible

[@andiihsandi]

You know you've made it to the Photoshop Master Rank when Adobe comments on your video.

[@kashirhussain622]

So adobe is also here to learn something

[@from_thecube]

@@ayushsati3225 hhahahaha

[@sgnotlewis]

This channel is literally the BEST Photoshop-focusing channel I have come across on KZbin. There's no other channel that has taught me more techniques than this.

[@djsenass]

On all the people doing tutorials on the planet, you're the one that explain the best! Thank you very much for sharing

[@MrChipman35]

Unmesh, your videos are getting better and better over the years and you're already the best. Much love from Germany :)

[@fkhamees]

I think this guy instead his parents teaching him 1+1=2 they start teaching him photoshop and colors. You Are awesome MAN!!! Thank you for helping all of us :-)

[@vi2e]

So his parents are even more hardcore?! Isn't the Adobe CEO from India?!

[@constantinflux]

tbf he had to google 75/2 at 9:21 (;

[@benjamins_eye662]

fun fact: PS is mastering that 1 + 1 equals 2.

[@In_Case_Im_Fake]

this guy has come so far in the last few years... happy for him.

[@DodaGarcia]

I think my photoshop is broken, when I open the Navigator panel I don’t see you there helping me edit the photo 🧐

[@kwbalance108]

Have you updated to the latest version and turned on View>Guides>Pi(xi)mp ?

[@ClaudioDesideriFilms]

Ahaha

[@tgfrs4221]

[@VincentHermes]

Youre the only guy to not forget saying "press CRTL" at some point which messes up every tutorial entirely! Thank you for this so much!

[@4.0.4]

Ah yes, CRTL, the Corntol key. jk :D

[@mojtabahakimi8082]

I almost paid $300 to an Instagram photographer to teach me this. Thanks for all your teachings, you're a true legend

[@atique_71]

Hello Sir, you are the best (thinks better than Photoshop developer) Photoshop tutor I have ever met. You teach us every detail of each tutorial. Your language is very much clear to understand. Hat's off for you. Love from Bangladesh.

[@holliecardinal1149]

Thank you for these tutorials. I am learning to take my photography past the point of clicking the shutter button. I have taken a ton of tutorials. I seem to get lost when people are trying to teach their techniques. I am able to easily follow along and effectively learn a new skill. It helps you are easy on eyes and have such a sunny disposition. Thank you for these videos. When the world opens back up, I hope to have a full new skillset to market myself with. THANK YOU!

[@inlocoparentis]

This channel has become my go-to for super-powerful retouching. I used to be really afraid of doing things in PS, then I discovered this channel; the content is ridiculously good, and has remained a great resource. Thank you, Unmesh!

[@rcmarcelo68]

Amazing Video as always Unmesh!!! Very Clever technique!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@brooklynndossey4183]

ughhhh you’re so amazing!! i’ve been wanting to know how to do this for so long 😭🙌🏽

[@marie.bydesign]

I love this guy! Perfect, easy to follow instruction every time!

[@emanuelesias4056]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I always learn something new. I'd really like to thank you for this, your channel must not die, ever.

[@zilleabbas3735]

Well, we are about to hit 2 million subscribers. Congratulations 💕

[@jamesjohnston6765]

Fantastic tips as always!

[@jeffchisamore1556]

I'm always fascinated how you make great results without external programs or filters. You create effects with simple processes and built in Photoshop tools. Awesome work.

[@JTFuller]

Excellent my dude.. Fantastic..

[@malingehring165]

I have been learning Photoshop on KZbin for the past 4 months.... I always come back to you to teach the best ideas... You are a true technician, AND wonderful speaker... PLUS - You play the piano just like you do Photoshop.... Highly technically...

[@cormierphoto]

Thank you Unmesh for your unprecedented skilled photoshop videos that have set the standard, I have been an avid watcher for years and cannot wait to see the photoshop virtual summit as well. Another great video as well

[@maciocamaria4660]

Your positive attitude and the way you explain everything makes learning so easy! Respect and thank you!

[@dunnymonster]

Excellent as always Unmesh 👍

[@StephenBoothUK]

A tip I've picked up for highlighting eyes that works well for many images is to really sharpen them. Typically you duplicate your image layer then apply a lot of sharpening to the bottom copy. In the top copy you erase the eyes to transparency.

[@SharpByCoop]

Your knowledge and skills are only surpassed by your kindness and humility. A pleasure to witness. Thank you.

[@sebastionprophet]

I really love how you ask questions like you're giving a lecture. Amazing work. Thank you.

[@sluchajela]

There is always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you. 👍👍👍

[@filipemtz]

Dude, your tutorials are insanely didactic and the vídeos are extremaly high quality. Thank you very much for your service to humanity.

[@TickleMeCthulhu]

Excellent, excellent tutorial! I've been working with Photoshop professionally for decades now and I still learn so much from your videos. Thank you so much!

[@secondlife0260]

i don't know why people dislike videos. I mean what do you really want??? it's perfect thanks unmesh

[@jrago8198]

you are awesome man... make it so easy to follow and understand the principles behind such tools. thanks

[@captainskyler1969]

As usual, I learned something new. I didn't know the trick of adding light to the eyes opposite the light source! Wonderful effect! Also, I watched your videos at the Photoshop Virtual Summit this week. You were great! The whole event was AMAZING! I picked up myriad techniques and tricks from all the top instructors. Now, I need to try them out on my photos.

[@asaaa9793]

I just can't stress enough how much I love you...seriously,I owe you so much on becoming a better photographer,don't know what I'd do without your amazing videos with such an excellent explaining.Always the best

[@Metzieh]

I have seen this effect so many times yet I had no idea how to replicate it, been looking for this for ages, thank you!

[@ReclusiveEagle]

Unmesh looks even better with a rougher beard and messy hair

[@powerblades]

He's so handsome

[@itsmmdoha]

I was just about to say that And I saw you already did😄

[@pookeyblow]

You call this messy hair? 😂

[@prezadent1]

I've never seen this channel before. I thought you were saying he used a video filter called Unmesh, LOL.

[@D.E.V.ATutorial]

[@jaybennett5490]

Your tutorials are top notch and your production is robust couldn't happen to a better person. Thanks for you.

[@devilevilwayz]

In March 15 I’ve stopped working due to the Pandemic and finished studying My college course in Medical Device Reprocessing technician. I’ve finished in April but i was still on hold for the internship and by accident, i started messing with pictures in paint for a friend which didn’t worked well. So i decided to try Photoshop with no knowledge how it works and i have been watching your videos ever since. You helped me a lot and i had great responses in the creations that I’ve made all thanks to you. This lockdown made me realized that even if i have a diploma in dietary aid and MDRT, i want to become a graphic designer. Even at the age of 36, it’s never too late to learn something new for everyone, especially if it’s fun. Thank you Piximperfect.

[@dominicpascal5512]

I'm so glad you removed the effect from the eyes! So often I see "glass eye" edits that are just overdone and I really wonder where these people get the idea that it looks good

[@bullshark9177]

Extremely useful and powerful, you're the best! 👏

[@malingehring165]

wOW!!! I learned so much from this. With the curves/ levels, i painted in brighter eyes, brighter flowers in her hair and more highlights of her hair!! It looks beautiful!!

[@jigyasasharma8878]

YOU ARE GOOOOODDD !!! DON'T EVER STOP POSTING TUTORIALS. THANK YOU
